  • Da Pantz – Its Dangerous to Go Alone

    3257432159-1Some may decry it, but the basic democracy of chipmusic means that despite the shit floods, there is plenty of room for unique voices to come out. DaPantz still shows some rough around the edgedness on a few of these tracks, but there are a few surprises and interesting musical choices that differ wildly from artists trying to sound like Sabrepulse or Bit Shifter, and instead tackle their own unique approach to chip music.  Well worth a listen!

  • Pixelh8 Gameboy Software Now Freeware

    soundeditorVia CDK

    Pixelh8 sez:

    After lengthy consideration, I decided I would rather have my Game Boy / Game Boy Advance music software be used by everyone it can be used by, instead of just the few.

    All of my software Music Tech V2.0, Pro Performer and more are all free for download at http://pixelh8.co.uk/software/ Enjoy! Please read the FAQ before emailing me questions about it, it’s pretty straight forward. I am doing a lot of work in music and music education, the software is now even being used in some UK schools for students to do their GCSE music composition on.

    Finally a use for that blasted GBA cart of mine!

    Also he posted some video from his obsolete concerts:

  • Metroid Multitracked Mix and more

    Ran across this thread on 2a03.org:

    Im posting this here because im not sure if it should go in music creation or not.I don’t create nes tunes persay, what I do enjoy doing is taking the indvidiual channels and giving them a multitrack polish. Currently, I have to obtain the indvidual tracks this way:
    Pan one channel hard left, the other hard right, disable the others, output to wav using winamp and notsofatso, import in to adobe audition, bounce each channel to new track, repeat for remaining channels.

    What I’d like is a program (I’d imagine command-line, either win/dos or *nix) that will allow me to specify an nsf, a track in the nsf, and spit out each sound channel to a wave. I’m an audio guy, not a programmer although im more than capeable of compiling something from source (on *nix).

    Here is Metroid:
