new 8bit/chiptune & dreamy sets up! http://www.ashtonmorris.com/video-game-musicretro/ A lot of effort has been put into these, although I have been working on sfx and havent had too much time to write. Tell me what you think
Hey Ashton, I totally dig your website and the music is great. I love the 8 bit and original music you do plus some really cool photography as well. I was curious do you work out most of your music in a home studio? Curious is to your working platform OS and software if so.
HI Blades, Yes I have a home studio. I have a pc with Windows 7, and I primarily use Cubase as a digital audio workstation. I have other programs but that's easiest for my use, but fl studio is really good for some of their plugins. And I have a m audio mobile pre as my input interface http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-MobilePre/dp/B0041OSWX8/ref=sr_1_11?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1343492010&sr=1-11&keywords=mbox I use NI Massive for most of my synth and 8bit sounds. I have a tutorial on how to get those sounds in massive here http://youtu.be/XPusOylbgLY Also for 8 bit Nes vst/plugins sounds you can use these vst for windows: http://www.ymck.net/magical8bitplug/magical8bitPlug_for_win.zip Mac AudioUnits PPC Edition: http://www.ymck.net/magical8bitplug/m8p_for_mac_v0.2.zip I have a keyboard controller http://www.amazon.com/Alesis-Q49-49-Key-Keyboard-Controller/dp/B0038YX3BS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1343491881&sr=8-6&keywords=alesis which is awesome and I use various soft synths that have orchestral or drum samples etc. Will probably get a Mac in the future, but not sure. Hope that helps. Also Ableton is cool too for home studio stuff.
Very cool. I have been getting a studio set up little by little. Currently I am going to start using Cockos Reaper on an iMac for my DAW. I got quite a few pieces of gear but I was really interested in those 8 bit sounds so I really appreciate the reply. Most of my stuff is real world and not as much virtual. I have been messing alot with the Korg line like the KAOSS and KP3 along with a MicroKorg and my drum machines.
