4-5 songs in the making

1st song was a "test" of the sound a few years ago
2nd song is way more melodic power metal inspired

enjoy

and yes, this shit is serious as far as the music goes, but not a SERIOUS PROJECT

ps: if anyone wants custom chiptunes/8bit songs let me know

Wouldn't 8 Bits of Death make a few more senses?

What do you use to write this?

haha who knows, the name is a joke

DOS

lol what? Do explain.

old school is the only way.
never changed programs. I dislike all the new ones (reason, fruityloops, etc) because they don't let you have fun.

the question is... should this have chip vocals or no vocals at all? who the fuck would do vocals over chip music?

record vocals but then convert them down to 8 bits, that would be sick

Faggot ass Crystal Castles and Xexyz

started another song today. cannibal corpse inspired chip tune.

will upload upon completion

I totally agree. Even if you didn't, this is pretty cool stuff to listen to anyway.

alright well, I'm still working on this cannibal corpse -inspired chip song. having difficulties making/finding good sounding drum samples from sine or square waves.
I completed a new melodic chip tune much like the 2nd one on the myspace link. perhaps i'll load later tonight on the myspace.

it's okay, I know no one cares about this crap hahaha

Dude, this shit is amazing. It makes me want to boot up Excitebike and dominate.

Don't get greedy and overheat!!!!

haha, glad you like it. song I should upload tonight will have a bova title.. recommendations open

YES

You could record all real instruments and then bit crush the hell out of everything.

i've never done that before? I've only made this kind of music using sine, square and triangle waves. is that even possible?

I use a bit crusher on guitar parts sometimes. As can be heard on the bridge in the first song on www.myspace.com/armthecitizen

And also on the bridge of this techno/acoustic guitar tune that I'm working on. No vocals yet and some things have changed since this version...

And also on the Thrice song "Digital Sea" on the vocals at the end. Which they actually do live too. Very cool.

And probably a billion other songs, but that's all that comes to mind off the top of my head.

nice. I will check this out when I get home tonight.

man, I'm stuck in the darkages.

New song up... SuperBOVA EXPLOSION

Alright, need to go back to work on writing the damn chip death metal soon

zenerik - oh yea, I can see what you're talking about with bit crusher. pretty interesting stuff. that sounds like it'd be very fun to experiment with..

Elite.

added 2 songs - a sega/sonic inspired song and an 8 bit death metal tune

really no need to post it here, oh well

If I had an 8 bit death metal band I would call it DeathByte.

haven't really done many 8bit death songs. it's challenging.. i need to make better chip samples for drums right now.

this shit is stupid anyways haha

SuperBOVA Explosion is fucking sick. Best of the songs up there, gotta say.

thanks. bova inspired generations to come

Sweet. What program program do you use? I've been using the same one for like 15 years. Refuse all that new crap.

I forgot the email and code to log in for 8 bit assault.

Props to Nuclearwinter for the name.

This is making me want to bust out my NES. Any game with these tunes would KICK ASS!
