The 4th part of my #Famitracker tutorial series is live! This one ended up being a whopping 49 minute excursion into the DPCM channel. It was a beast to edit, but very gratifying to finish. Link below if you want to watch it. #chiptune #8bit #musiciansky

🎧 Free #Ableton Live Drum Rack This rack was made by sampling a drum machine VST with the DPCM channel in FamiTracker. Link to the free download is in the post below! #musiciansky #chiptune #8bit

Chapter marks for the upcoming FamiTracker tutorial covering the DPCM channel. I didn’t think it would end up being over 49 minutes long, but here we are. The video will be live this Saturday morning. #chiptune #8bit #famitracker #musiciansky

The last 6 seconds of my upcoming FamiTracker tutorial.

Here’s a nice lick I learned from Joe Pass that you can play over a ii V I progression. #jazz #guitar #musiciansky

This is always the first theme that comes to mind for me when I think of #zelda. Happy 40th (😮) #loz ! Full version available everywhere. 🎧 #musicsky

going through old files and I found this video of the drum tracking session for my cover of the temple theme from #zelda 2 #drums #musiansky #musicsky 🎧

I can’t believe I spelled conventionsl wrong

My phone just autocorrected “I’ve” to: I’be

I’m in the middle of filming the DPCM episode for my FamiTracker tutorial series. This is a short clip experimenting with the “SunSoft bass technique” I’m in the middle of changing to resolve from premiere so I’m not sure when when it will be done, but I thought this was kind of fun. #chiptune

Retcon is live! Several years in the making. It’s crazy to think about how fast the time has gone. Very grateful to be able to contribute, and to connect with so many great people through this music!

I’m window shopping for a VPN. Does anyone have any recommendations? The ones I’ve seen come up the most are Proton and Nord (with Mullvad being an honorable mention), but I don’t know if I’m being hoodwinked by big VPN. 1/2…

Simulating Reverb and Delay Inside FamiTracker youtu.be/_v0YmSqkaw8 Part 3 of my #famitracker tutorial is now live on YouTube! If you like making #8bit #chiptune music, I’d love for you to check it out. #musiciansky #NES #retrogaming

Premiere pro voice auto transcription interpreted my #chiptune backing track as “beep beep. Beep” On a related note, part 3 of the #famitracker tutorial series will be live tomorrow morning! This episode discusses how I simulate reverb and delay inside FamiTracker. #8bit #musiciansky

What are people using as alternatives to Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro? My subscription is up at the end of the month and if I can’t retain my education discount, renewing the yearly plan will cost $800+. Even with the discount, $450 is absurdly high considering I only use 2 apps.

🎧 TLoZ: Main Theme (VRC7 sketch) My first time exploring with the VRC7 module in #famitracker I wanted to experiment with maximizing FamiTracker’s full sonic capabilities by utilizing all available channels. #chiptune #8bit #retrogaming #nes #zelda #synth #sounddesign

When it gets cold like this, I always think about how it’s mostly because the planet is far away from the sun, and tilted away. Common knowledge as it may be, I still find it to be awe inspiring. Somehow, it became 2026 already. I wish the best for you, and all of our collective year(s). 📷

Part 2 of my FamiTracker tutorial series is live! This episode focuses on the noise channel. I explain what it is, how it works, and share some techniques I’ve developed to help give my #chiptune pieces a more live feel. The video is on my channel linked below. #8bit #famitracker #musiciansky

As always, all the fellas of @redvoxband.com put on a wildly entertaining show. The Ottobar was an awesome venue, but I have to give the customary "FUCK YOU, BALTIMORE" with love. #musicsky #RedVox #ottobar

Some behind the scenes pictures from the Red Vox show at Ottobar in Baltimore this weekend. We’re so grateful to everyone for coming, waiting outside in the cold, and enduring the tropical climate inside the venue! 📷 🎧 #musicsky #musiciansky #baltimore #ottobar

I had the good fortune of acquiring a set of EAK Zildjian cymbals, and they arrived in this bag. Band name, or an unorthodox way of storing the remains of a loved one? I guess we’ll never know. #drums #musiciansky

Christmas Wreths

I'm premiering an album on Saturday, December 6th, at 3:00PM EST! Super Mario Bros. 2 Remade is a full VRC6 remake of the Super Mario Bros. 2 soundtrack:

🎧 Super Mario Bros Theme but it’s in C Minor I finally got around to making a short form version of this. The full track with a different video is linked in the post below.

This doesn’t look that interesting now that the moment has passed, but consider this is a lone deck chair on a piece of carpet in the middle of the woods. 📷

Here’s a way of spotting phishing scams on Craigslist.

🎧 Tetris, but it’s horribly out of tune. #8bit #chiptune #famitracker

🎧 A Secret, Sleeping in the Deep Sea (Final Fantasy VII) I recorded the drums for this over a year ago and forgot about it until recently, so I thought it would be a good idea to finish it. Full video is on my channel in the post linked below #musicsky #ff7 #retrogaming #promosky

🎧 new FF7 coming tomorrow. Here’s part of the #Guitar Solo section. #musicsky #musiciansky #retrogaming #ffvii

🎧 More adventures in analog I was hoping to be able to produce a track exclusively with this Akai tape machine. I don’t know if it’s the design or that it’s old and malfunctioning, but the Sound on Sound function is basically unusable for its intended function. BUT — #musiciansky
