real time recorded hardware oldschool electro + chiptune!!

hardware setup:::
- model:samples for 808 drums, td-3 sequencing, (sampled) chip lead, main midi clock & sequence;
- td-3 for bass sound;
- microfreak for pad sound and pad sequence;
- hw mixer + audio interface + ardour for recording, mixing and everything else.

this entry follows more in line with the the more "classic" electro style, rather than whatever the contemporary style the word "electro" means now. you know the one with the futuristic sounding pads, complex 808 patterns, heavy bass, simple high leads.... that kinda stuff

nice. i thought there could have been another element added after the drums drop out to give it a bit more movement, but i still like it. also i thought the bitpack was saying to stick to the contemporary style which is why i didn't enter

yeah I think the bitpack was kinda confusing to say the least but the word "electro" has been shoe-horned into so lots of completely different-sounding genres that I almost can't fault it? most of the bitpack kinda captures the more modern styles (which I don't really care for) with some small bit about what I think is the classic/original style. the catch-all phrase at the end: "All of those genres/sub-genres I've explained (and will show) are legal for this battle!" makes me think it's okay? at the end of the day the critisists will decide!

overall i kinda wanted to mess with hardware again because it was a while since i did anything with it.

i kinda wanted to add some vocoder or voice synth stuff to it (as is electro tradition) but it would've required me to do multi-track and i was happy enough with it but yeah i agree.
