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 to create a different kind of sound, or don't like the 8bit at all, 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 track 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 trying to figured out how it works, meanwhile you can download the file here! See U !!

New logos!

I have two new logos for this blog:

Also, I found a great montage page and finally "Sleeping With..." It's on the streets.

In Your magic photo you can add your pictures on different kind of montages.

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 my mind was to start 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 download music and stuff like that, I will get someday a few comments here, ha ha.

Recently I discovered my love for the chiptunes music, 8 bit music, lo-fi music, etc. In other words, same terrific music. Well the fact is, this kind of music will be my final goal, that means that I will end it up making some chiptunes for everybody but meanwhile I have to learn many, many, many things about electronic music.

Part of these tools to improve my abilities, are the software and I have begun with the FL Studio and Reason, but everybody knows that if you want to do something good, you have to take all the possibilities and options that you can, as well explore every single thing that pops up.

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

Here there are some libraries:Magical 8bit plug and Chip32.

Maybe 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!

This is my first post of the year, and i swear, I will finally write here often. The reason, well, by now on I will have a bunch of free time, and also one of my intentions this year it's to participate actively on it. I mean, I hope that sometimes someone writes a little bit of comments on my post, then I will be happy to reply and/or help.

I love 8 bit music!!

I always loved the electronic music, and also I loved to play Nintendo, but now I can get both in a single awesome fusion: the 8 bit music. Thinking about that, I found the Blipfestival . Here the main topics of the event are: Archaic game and home computer hardware with a four-day event showcasing nearly 40 musicians and visual artists occupying the international low-res cutting edge.

In the Festival, Devices such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, Commodore 64, Atari ST, Nintendo Game Boy, among others, are the popular musical instruments. The Blipfestival is part of the activities of the 8bitpeoples.

The 8bitpeoples first came together in 1999 as a collective of artists sharing a common love for classic videogames and an approach to music which reflected this obsession. The primary interests were to provide quality music for free and most importantly to have fun. In the years since, they have grown in rank and expanded their goals.

From hard-pumping dance electro to atmospheric pieces, even the nostalgia of the vintage, artists like:Crystal Castles, Binarpilot and Pornophonique used this technique.
