Getting ready to making my first single (and first proper release) public. 10+ minute song containing several movements with recurring themes. Mixture of classic mod/xm-chiptune with some more dissonant and aggressive black metal inspired parts.
The first 2 minutes: Leendet är ett vapen on Soundcloud
Hopefully released sometime early next year.
This is in all honesty, the best chiptune track I have ever heard. I actually thought it ended well too! I love how much it changes throughout. I don't think you need to change anything!
Why is it called death.mp3 btw? At least let it be a .wav file (aka uncompressed)
Thank you! Wow what a compliment. But then again, you like the ending.. so that would make your opinion invalid... haha only joking. You´ll be glad to know then that I´ve put this song on hold for now and working on a new one instead 
.
Doest wav instead of mp3 really help that much on Soundcloud? I always thought it fucks up the sound anyway.
Yeah I have this syncing problem as well with getting the right tempo for my XMs. What I do now is make a click in both FT2 and Logic and try to match the tempo. It always find the right BMP is somewhere along the third decimal: 120.351. It could easily be synced perfectly if I just imported the XM to Renoise instead since it handles BPM correctly. But I hate its soundengine, FT2 is much fatter.
It works okay though, I dubbed the drums on the track here (https://soundcloud.com/mannenmedhatten/videod-ds) and I cant find any off-sync beats in the later part of the song. Good enough. But a pain.
Yogi: thanks 
! Yeah that ending... I'm very inclined to kill it. And yeah I need to have some sort of loop part so I can do these key changes I now do at the end. Oh my good I love me some key changes. Is that the right term anyway? Oh I need to listen to Michael Jackson's Will you be there on repeat for a few ours again!
Boomlinde: when you say dynamic variation, do you mean like when I repeat parts try to change them up a bit? Like remove drums or whatever? Hmmm I guess I have been to lazy with just using the exact pattern without tweaks. This would be the explanation for to many fills as well. I just had a listen to some of my favorite tunes and realized that they often never repeat the exact drum pattern. Iike not have a drum fill at every chord round. I listen to a lot of black metal so I tend to overdo the drums haha.
And arrangemental repetition, do you mean more of a verse chorus verse chorus thing but with the variations I pointed out above?
Big thanks your your input anyway, glad you liked it!
Hi! New guy here. I'm Peter from Sweden. I have been doing music in FT2 since 2002 I think. Not regularly though, I often dabble in metal or piano-based pop songs. But I often add a little bit of chip in those songs too and of course realize that those become the best parts .
I haven't kept up with the community at all, I still only listen to Maktone and Dubmoods stuff from 10 years ago. But just a quick glaze through the forum it seems that there is still cool chipshit going on!
I'm hoping to finish some chiptunes this year, maybe put out a ep on bandcamp or something like that. Got myself a Sidstation off eBay last year that I'm trying to merge with my ft2 songs .
Just put up a song in the cc forum, check it out if you want to know how I sound.
Hi guys and girls! I stumbled upon this forum just before christmas and I thought maybe someone would be interested in giving me some feedback on this song here. I read through a lot of the other cc post and I found that a lot of good suggestions where made .

It's made in Fasttracker 2, processed through some guitar amp plugins and with some drum machine overdubs. Some strings are in there obviously.
Any ideas or suggestions would be nice (arrangement, melodies, sound).
I've been working on it for a few years on and off. I haven't really finished it yet (or any other song in this vein ) but I'm liking parts of it a lot. The main problem I have as of now is that I really dig the verse/chorus thing in the first part of the song, but the ending starting with the quiet no-drum-part feels.. boring. I usually never bother to listen the whole way through since all the cool stuff is in the beginning. And that in the end the chorus just comes back in an uninteresting way.
I'm thinking of just completely rewrite the end and.. Maybe the intro too. Or rewrite it totally. Haha I can never decide if I'm doing a pop song structure or a mini epic with linear structure (the songs of Bruce Springsteens Born to run would be good examples of this).
