[ Closed ] Where's the Melody-driven Chip? (Page 5 of 16)

Why do you persist I'm a troll, is another human being not aloud to have a distinct informative opinion different from your own?

i think the two things that caused this were A. you posting ponies on cm.o, and B. you calling treyfrey an amateur. imo, you brought this one on yourself bro

edit: we're not your personal slave labor division, by the way. you don't need to start a thread where people hold your hand and guide you to artists. seriously, just go the fuck out there and look if you want to see more of a certain type of chipmusic.

Again I fail to see how enjoying something you don't, and retrospectively not enjoying something you do makes me a bad person.

Harassment, calling me stupid.

What's upsetting is that you don't actually realize how much work Treyfrey has put into his music. You've never talked to him, you've never known what he's like, and you've obviously never analysed the technical side of the music he makes. He's spent years building up his technical prowess that blows any of us other DMG composers away. There are things he does with his DMG that NOBODY else does. NOBODY. Listen to Push On. There's tricks and synths in that song that I've been studying since it's been released, and I'm still pretty lost on how they can be made. He does this all while keeping a danceable rhythm and a catchy melody. I don't know how his CPUs handle the stuff he throws at them. But really, compare a Trey song to anyone else's. You'll realize the sick amount of strange and ridiculously complex sound design his stuff has.

Trey's also one of the reasons that people started syncing 2 gameboys together. He posted Recovery on 8bc a long time ago. That song and Electric Children's IAYD remix made 2xLSDJ popular. He's a legend, and no, he doesn't sound like other artists. You haven't actually listened to what he does. That's why you're being harassed, you're shitting all over people's favorite artists and artists that made huge breakthroughs with chipmusic.

And you're obviously not looking hard enough if you think chipmusic is only gameboys.

we could say you're harrassing the community by starting a thread that doesn't need to be started and discussing your vague musical preferences. in fact, you compared much of chipmusic to "the same unce unce unce unce unce kick drum with the same 5 notes repeating for 6 minutes." that's an insult in itself, and as you can see, many others have taken it personally too. my advice: seriously, just look it up and stop posting, it's just pissing people off in the long run.

that and if we called harassment everytime someone said something bad, half of cm.o would be banned right now, let's be honest y'all

The problem with the fact that chipmusic is becoming mainly gameboy music is because it's easier to afford, rather than some expansive midiNES, with just 2$ you get the LSDJ rom, with 40$ the flash cart and out there it's full of gameboy modders, so you can get a gameboy too and you're ready to go.
Also, I don't think other systems' sound (like Amigas and Sega consoles) are as famous as the "classic" Nintendo sound. And maybe not anyone has the possibility to get an Amiga system.
Exception made for the C=64 that maybe is easier to find.
So, imho the problem is in money and reperibility of gear

Anyway I'm not sure about this melody thing. I guess there are a lot of different people making different music, but since a lot of them went exploring new ways of making sounds, there is much more an expansion to unknown beats than to classic melodies. Also, famous artists someways influence the little artists (not totally but somehow) so if we hear more "not-full-of-melodies-music" by famous people sometimes we try to emulate that. With this sure I don't mean that we want to be famous as them making their same music.

EDIT: Shoot, I'm late!!
