Thanks for all of your recommendations guys! I think that Sony MDR-V6 is going to be the best for what I need to spend.

Thanks again guys!

I used the search, and didn't find anything relevant to this, so guide me to it if I'm just blind.

In any case, I am thoroughly sick of the current headphones I have; primarily due to them being wireless and having lots of syncing problems, (Got em for Christmas, so y'know?).

So I was wondering if anyone here could help me find quality headphones that would allow me to make music unhindered without breaking my very shallow wallet.

All help's appreciated guys, thanks in advance.

Alright, so stronger beat, a lead, and let the bells ring.

So here is a work in progress I have been working on, imagine that, but I think it is missing something, and I just can't figure what.

It is interesting being relatively new to the scene, and reading this thread; also a bit disheartening. I almost don't feel welcome tongue, because I am more or less a prime example of what you guys are talking about concerning how I entered the scene, how I make my music, and what kind of music I make.

I do feel welcome, because of all of the help the community has provided, but I can't help but feel, based on the opinions here, I'll never be anything memorable in the scene.

Concerning the OP, I don't know about chiptune specifically, but I would definitely like to stay active in music in general.

At the moment in no particular order:

Uppermost - Revolution

Daft Punk - Discovery

Tycho - Dive

This is awesome, I got G. Albert Lansburgh.

So in the past I have been very purposeful with my track titling under other aliases, but currently, under this one, I am having a science project. I am not giving actual names describing the music to my 'officially' released tracks, such as my debut release 'D': http://ateno.bandcamp.com/
I am wondering whether the name of a track that imposes meaning onto a song can be deemed more meaningful than a track that leaves finding the meaning up to the listener, or vice-versa.

What are your thoughts on this? I have seen a lot of tracks with seemingly meaningless names, and others that I think are actually describing the music, so which do you prefer?

It is actually inspired by WMD's older stuff! big_smile

I kept myself restricted to the 3xOsc presets to attempt and keep myself from using the more sophisticated instruments, but they probably could use some more fine-tuning in any case.

Maybe just let people know you're one and the same, if you feel you must.

But that's the thing, the whole purpose is to become someone unaffiliated with an experimental, possibly bad, alias.

I just feel like I'm betraying people if they like my stuff you know, by fully intending to throw away an alias when I start it.

D is my first 'official' release.
I hope you all will enjoy.

Pretty vague title, I know, but it is interesting thing I have been thinking about. Are there an established set of ethics associated with having an artist name explicitly for the purpose of testing music, experimenting, building your skills, etc.?

I guess I just have in my head that it is like disgraceful or something to simply create an artist, for all intensive purposes on the internet an Identity, a person, simply to later throw them away, and start over with another one. I am having trouble deciding whether I feel like you are sending the message that relationships you create under said identity mean nothing, or if nobody really cares whether or not that person simply disappears.

So, yeah. What do you guys think? Is throwing away an identity and all the relationships associated with it wrong?

Alright, thanks, I'll make sure to do that.

Thanks!

Alright, I'm dumb. Thanks!
