PROTO·DOME Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Okay yeah it's short, a chiptune mix and Pokémon but heck, it's just an experiment. Pokémon "Show Me Around": http://www.fileupyours.com/view/223261/Pokemon%20Around%20Remix.mp3 Any advice/I hate 8bit comments completely wanted. ^w^ (Oh, and its NOT finished- that's why it's incredibly short.)

SplinterOfChaos Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Well...I don't have any comments, but I can say I hate 8-bit. Long live 4-bit! I've never been good with 8-bit composing as my lack of base-writing skills are accentuated. Still, I think the base should either be one octave lower, or an extremely low base instrument be added. (Maybe.) How long do you plan this to be? It sounds just like a cute, short, experimental piece. Quote
PROTO·DOME Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 I dunno... I wondered how well received a 'chiptunemix' would be (with non 8bit instruments too- it would get a lil' boring otherwise I guess) so wondered whether or not it would be worth it. Yeah- I guess you're right about the bass- I'm gunna mess about with all the tracks anyway. I would very VERY much like to see (hear) four bit... Freakin' ace... Quote
Aninymouse Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Anything that's well done will get a fair shot I'm sure, but I think the climate around here is infavorable to a 100% chiptune. As long as you add some other original elements to it, I'm sure it'd be fine. An artist who does stuff kinda like that would be "she." You can find his stuff at http://shemusic.org. Quote
SplinterOfChaos Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I would very VERY much like to see (hear) four bit... Freakin' ace... Well, you've probably heard one-bit. Or rather, either you hear it or you don't. Two-bit: Either you hear it, you don't, or you can neither confirm it is on or off, thus it is simultaneously both and neither. Four-bit: Just friken crazy shit. Quote
Rozovian Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 The problem with low-bit music is that it hardly qualifies as music. The low bit count make it pretty much impossible to mix. Anyway, this is pretty cool. A couple of key clashes, and I suspect it's pretty close to source, but other than that, it's nice. Quote
PROTO·DOME Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 The mild key clashes are intentional actually. Kinda highlights the fact the source has this chromaticism thing going. (F#Major in the key of C!?) Yeah and close to source too. I might try building up the texture actually... It's kinda marchy do maybe I need a rolling snare... Hrmmm... Quote
SplinterOfChaos Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 The problem with low-bit music is that it hardly qualifies as music. That's like saying minimalist art doesn't qualify as art because it lacks detail. Quote
Rozovian Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Hardly, I said. I gotta try to make you a 1bit track. I know it'll sound terrible. Loud, obnoxious pwm/square wave(s), no volume control, instant interference between tones... Quote
