which also makes doing collabs really easy and fun!
Yeah like I always wondered how other people collab when they don't own the same VSTs and effects n stuff. trading wav stems always seemed kinda inflexible (but I've never done anything like that myself so maybe it's not that bad)
dear chubby middle aged guy with the 70s mustache and the cute baby who was wearing a BRK tshirt in ikea today, you are my favourite thing about producing chiptune
Sorry, it wasn't me. I'm not chubby and I don't shop at Ikea.

congrats on the cute baby though!
cuz its like making an OST to a non-existent video game. I like telling stories with music
Even though I don't release much chip music anymore, composing on LSDJ is the best tool to blast through writer's block since I don't feel any pressure to live up to a standard (as it is with the rest of my output).
Plus, the community really is for life. I love that I still get random calls for gigs now and then to just have a night of stupid fun, no matter how little or many people there are to party with us. There's a distinctive strength in the scene that is just not there in any other music scene. Plus that "Stop trying to look cool, this is gameboy music, just have fun" kind of mentality.
congrats on the cute baby though!
Thanks, she's almost 2 now.
I think we can all agree that the reactions people have to the music or how we make the music are always worth it
It's easy to jot down your ideas and thoughts of music into a playable format.
If it sounds alright on your headphones it's probably gonna sound alright through a speaker too.

I had a guy storm up to the house mixing board and slam down all the faders while yelling "This sucks!" so...
Yes, 100% worth it.

lol nice
our crew back in the days of the Perth breakcore/hardcore scene used to get similar reactions.. usually we played in bars where the regular music was more along the lines of rock bands or "indie" DJs, so the regulars (ie. old dudes not there for music at all) would storm up to the performer and complain loudly. One guy nearly threw his beer at my friend mid-set, who was in turn inspired to make the music more repetitive and abrasive as a result lol
