A new way, a new life!

I'm relocating my life alone in a new city, from now on; Montreal is gonna be my new home.

This is gonna be awesome!! The life, the music, the people, the weather, the culture...

I didn't write anything here since last march, so this is good excuse to start writing again. I will talk very soon about my experience in the MUTEK FESTIVAL, and of course about the 8bit places that I found here!!

By the way, this a picture of me in the Old Port (Vieux port) of Montreal.

Plugins, plugins, plugins!!

As a beginner on the topic of digital music creation, I found out what I have to do, to make 8 bit sounds.

The plugins are the answer.

I started to use the FL studio, but If you have another software like Renoise, Cubase or other, you can use it too!

How it works? It´s pretty simple, first you have to download the file, then you have to copy the file ".dll" into the folder "vst" in the folders of the program of your music software.

Specifically with FL studio, you have to make some other things. Go to menu "Channels" and select the option "add one", select "more" and at the bottom of the window click on "refresh".

To make 8 bit music you can use a lot of plugins, I found these:

Magical 8 bit Plug (no image)

Tri force plugin (from TWEAKBENCH):

The Peach (from Nintendo Mario BRos.) from TWEAKBENCH too.

The Toad plugin: (In Tweakbench you can find a Wide Variety of Plugins and effects)

The Great Basic 64:

The awesome YMVST:

I will share my tracks as soon as I can

PD: Even if you want diferent kind of sound, or don't like the 8bit, every plugin works exactly as the 8 bit does, just remember the VST folder.

By the way, i found this funny picture!!

A Great 8 bit end!

Free music!!

Finally I have my first song on the net, maybe it's too early to start uploading and sharing files but I think this is a little bit more useful because I can receive comments, suggestions and different points of view about my music.

I started with the FL Studio and i'm still try to figured out how it works, meanwhile you can download the file here! See U !!

Make some beats!

Well, I'm here ones again and guess what? I spent all weekend including monday with my new friends, making music.

These guys have their own music studio so the first thing that came to mind was to start to making my own beats.

I have to downloading some music programs, libraries, samples and more. And also I thought that maybe if I show here some links to downloading music and stuff like that, I will get someday a few comments here, haha.

Recently I discovered my love for the chiptunes music, 8 bit music, lo-fi music, etc. Different kind of words, same terrific music, well, the fact is, this kind of music will be my final objective, but meanwhile I have to understand many, many, many things about electronic music.

Part of this tools to improve my habilities, obviously, are the software, and I have begun with the FL Studio and Reason, but everybody knows that if you want to do someting good, you have to take all the ways that you can.

These are some softwares to use, to make some 8 bit noise: the Little sound Dj and the Nanoloop, the Little sound Dj can be downloading directly from its home page and other sites of the web, unfortunately, the Nanoloop can only be downloading from a torrent track, but all you have to do is use a client for torrents files and download it for Demonoid.

Some libraries:Magical 8bit plug and Chip32.

Maybe in the next week I will share my music here but, by now on you can download some tracks here , this compilation it's a zip file from beatport and the link is from DDJ blog; track 02 a remix of kam denny and paul zala it's my favorite.

And Finally more music by Binarpilot one of my favorites djs.

Enjoy!
