If you can get an average that is about 7db less than the peaks most of the time, you are golden. Punch does not have to come from compression. In my opinion, buss compression is more useful as glue rather than to add punch. If you must use a shitload of compression.. use it only on the drum buss or on individual drum tracks. Most of the time, synths do not need any compression or if so.. very little.. low ratio compression. Let the synth's breath wink

That makes it close enough to commercially loud, you can listen to it in a car with no problem, but still allows a fair amount of dynamic range. For most of the zeros, this was pretty much the normal commercial level. Now it seems that people are shooting for -9db RMS and above.. which is ok if you are doing aggressive dubstep/tech house (skrillex's album clocks in at about -7RMS for the whole album), but completely unnecessary.

Phrased that way, I indeed consider Weeklybeats challenge (yes I call it a challenge) also as an opportunity to make the music in a new way but I don't expect to have enough time every week to experiment new stuff.
And actually, chipmusic is quite new for me smile

Vocal music is NOT better than instrumental music - thats just like.. your opinion man.  I happen to enjoy music without vocals more, especially if its some vocoded nonsense.

what do you mean spry, lets all grow floppy hair and use auto tune, and get back up dancers and lazers and and and and and have our own range of perfume.

Instead of telling people to put down the gameboys and hop on some nu-disco, it might be more constructive to state your preferences or say that you hope to see chipmusicians branch out in this or that way.

But I thought chip music and Nu-Disco were the only two genres of music!!!

Lazerscale only had a handful of people - communication was easily taken care of over IRC or email if needed.

There are many more people doing WeeklyBeats. It makes sense to have a forum to foster a community and make collaborations easier as well as sharing thoughts etc.

I appreciate the decision to add a forum to this endeavor, as long as it stays civil I feel some good insight might be thrown out by participants.  Everyone has a negative opinion towards something and they'll likely come out on the forum, that's what it's there for, to handle all conversation.

Furthermore, I think all artists will find that sticking to this will foster some sort of inner creativity and drive for experimentation with other methods of composing and instrumentation.  For Lazerscale I personally found myself experimenting with all sorts of musical styles ranging from noise to improvisational jazz to chillwave to breakcore.  Hell, for a few of the songs I built entirely new musical devices of my own design.  There's so much to explore and creative expression will strike as time passes working on this.  The pressure to create at a constant rate will push you to new realms.  I can't wait to see how everyone flourishes during this project.

My thoughts exactly.  I've enjoyed reading the posts so far, finding out what people hope to accomplish, what tools they will be using, etc.  As long as people stay civil and friendly, the forums will be a nice companion to teh 52 beatz.

Forums...

I really wish this site did away with the Forum section.
I really loved the simplicity of "lazerscale2010".
I would come to site, listen to new tracks, get inspired.  I wanted to be a part of it.

I've always felt when a forum is up it takes away from the main focus.
Just my two cents.

much love, xo
jason.

Ill be keeping an eye out for your tracks, wise words here. smile

Create what you want how you want to.
