Yeeeeeeeeeeeeahhh!!
Hope this is a regular thing J3wel! Because I want to plaaaaaaay!
Interestingly this 2 days after the release of our first album 
Of which we are going to announce soon! (Though I've just kind of announced it, whatever)
Edit because I told a lie and got my dates wrong 
I'm never motivated for work because it's for a crappy corp company and the job is soul crushing and soooo boring.
But I am motivated general life wise because, if I spend all my time feeling unmotivated about work (and how I really cant be arsed to go back the next day) I will just sit on the sofa and do nothing, not even play videogames or start throwing ideas around musically or irritate my girlfriend.
Music motivation, if it's not happening, it's not happening. I don't sit and think "I NEED TO WRITE A SONG NOW"; if an idea comes along it comes along and I go with it as far as I can before the ideas stop. Not every idea you stick down is going to be the best song ever, not every idea you stick down is going to end up in a finished product. Just write! Keep writing. Even if you think it sucks!
Take some lessons from Reuben, apply the logic to what you want to do:
Yeaaahh!!
I bought some stuff from HandHeld Legend before, though I think I only ended up with it from eBay Pretty good, and the site has clear mod instructions.
I've got everything I need right now, but does anyone know of any good UK places? I've used eBay etc but it has a limited range. Anyone know of any dedicated UK based online shops?
I played my music for my dad.
Dad: "Did you make that with Soundblaster somehow?"
Me: "Nope, Nintendo sound chip software, tracker, blah blah."
Dad: (Listens for a while) "It sounds like music from the game with the little pink guy who eats everything..."
Me: "Yeah, Kirby's Dreamworld?"
Dad: "You made this?"
Me: "Yup" (I show him the tracking)
Dad: "Holy shit it looks like programing or something..."And then he listened through the whole demo, smiling as we sat and looked out the window.
My dad had to learn to use basic DOS for work during the early 90's. We used to play Doom II co-op together when I was in grade school.
I love my dad.
This made me feel all warm and fuzzy
For the limited number who've heard my bands demos so far they've enjoyed it. Got the usual questions:
1- How did you do that?!
2- Can you show me how it works? (To which I try explain whilst showing them LSDj and get blank faces, or they wander off halfway)
3- Is that a VST?
We are recording soon (actually starting this weekend wooooooo!) and sent the guy our demos, no mention of the Gameboys and C64 stuff other than "we have some electronics". His response was "Sounds very NES!", which wasn't such a bad response really! We then received a load of questions about how exactly we are wanting to record and how it works etc, which I guess we will show him on Saturday.
Other than that, looking forward to/dreading the overall response to our sound when we put stuff out properly for everyone to hear... Hopefully people will take to it and be interested, but we shall see...!
Personally I get asked when I am going to do more of my other music (which is singer/songwriter (hate that title) stuff), but to be honest chiptunin' is so much more FUN!
Don't know if I am too late, but filled it in anyway!
Also, welcome
Hey I'm Matt, new to the forum and hailing from the South East of England.
I have been playing guitar and singing a bit in bands for around 10/11 years now. I picked up LSDj around 9 months ago and have been working on material with my new band since then. We are set to record around the end of April/start of May, and I really can't wait to share what we've been working on!
CM.O has been really useful over the last few months - really cool community of musicians, looking forward to talking to/meeting some of you lot
