OverCoat

Thanks to my Free Music thread... which needs a hell of a necrobump right now, but I got kind of tired of posting stuff

I just had a McRib was fucking disgusting

if you wanna go full hipster, get your old dot matrix gameboy and flash LSDJ onto a cartridge. then get an emo haircut and some tight clothes, neon sneakers and you're good to go. remember to fist pumps as they will make your music sound better too actually LSDJ is pretty fun to use you don't have to be a hipster to use it

it's an NSF file, for some reason your browser wants to open it up as a text file [mine did too], just right click on the link and save it. It's basically a file that emulates nintendo music instead of streaming it, making it a nice compact format. However, you'll need special players for it. I recommend either Winamp or XMPlay, and grabbing a plugin for those players called NEZPlug [NEZPlug will work with both Winamp and XMPlay]

dude, akumu's NSF archive was the first thing I checked: http://akumunsf.good-evil.net/dir.php?dir=C when you see it...

no! keep doing compos, and don't take breaks! If you keep participating in competitions, ask for feedback as to why you placed where you did, and if you apply the knowledge you gain to every song you make, you are consistently getting better! Some of the best music I ever wrote was stuff I made in one hour compos, and sometimes I expanded/fixed compotunes and they end up on my albums

i made a youtube ! and yes it really did get 9th place out of 10.

I don't have room for speakers in my room, so I have to use headphones. My AKG K271s came recommended to me from this guy:

Going through your youtube channel, this stuff is great. I was listening to "Chandra" and the fact that this made it into a PGA Tour game is amazing and also hilarious. I guess I don't know how golf games are supposed to sound because I never play them, but it really does feel like it should've been in Mirror's Edge. Thanks for posting here, glad you like what we're doing!

happy birthday <3

wow OCRE made an album, nice work! some of the textures here are pretty gnarly dark ambient, particularly "planette" the style and sound design remind me a lot of the more droning tracks of Eve Online actually! The music has a kind of breathing pattern to it as well.

WHAT A TWEEST you could make a movie about this situati... wait a second

Try playing TES2: Daggerfall it's so huge that the overworld is randomly generated, there's something like... wait lemme look this up: Bethesda claims that the scale of the game is equal to twice the size of Great Britain:[1] around 487,000 square kilometers. The game world features over 15,000 towns, cities, villages, and dungeons for the player's character to explore. According to Todd Howard, an Elder Scrolls programmer, the game's sequel, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, is 0.01% the size of Daggerfall, but it should be noted most of Daggerfall's terrain was randomly generated. Vvardenfell, the explorable part of Morrowind in the third game has 10 square miles (25.9 square kilometers).[2][3] The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has approximately 16 square miles (41.4 square kilometers) to explore.[4] In Daggerfall, there are 750,000+ non-player characters (NPCs) for the player to interact with, compared to the count of around 1,000 NPCs found in Morrowind and Oblivion. However, the geography and the characters in these later games are much more detailed.

you have to use pitch, vibrato, and other effect commands if you want to make the most out of a chip lead. fortunately, pitch bends and vibrato are incredibly easy in trackers. I can't tell you exactly how to make an expressive lead, because everyone has their own special way of doing it. Download Modplug Tracker and take a look at some of virt's tracked music [like his Tracked in Time songs] and you can try to dissect some of his music that way. I learned a lot by looking inside other people's music mods [for example, Alexander Brandon totally abuses premade drumloops in Deus Ex!]

I was at the jamspace for a bit and caught the friday concerts [great show btw], but I was mostly just eating and drinking and trying desperately to get as much free shit as possible, I had just missed A_rival's vg freestyle rap, and did not know about the secret MM show either :V. I already posted about everyone else I met on theshizz thread BY THE WAY, thanks for making this happen danimal:

had a great time hanging out with y'all OCR dudes See you next year I hope!

some people don't have FL Studio

I think Midee made a NES soundfont a long time ago [like 1997 or some shit] that got really widespread, it's probably the one you could get off zophar.net forever. Anyway, the NES soundfont off zophar is fucking terrible, the samples all have an attack of like 30ms which makes them incredibly useless if you want to make authentic chiptune stuff. Plus soundfonts are terribly obsolete, try thinking of anything other than FL Studio's soundfont loader or SFZ+ that loads soundfonts and does it right! Best option for people using DAWs is probably the magical 8bit plug, YMvst for Atari ST stuff, and VOPM for genesis/MVS yamaha FM stuff

anything c-jeff likes I like downloadan

missed the stream due to pax, I bet that was fun, but hey I was at pax

I'll meet everyone at the OCR panel tomorrow. Man I was looking at the schedule and WARREN SPECTOR is doing the keynote. Badass! I gotta get there early
