8Bit Inspired Beat With A Bit Of Darkness To It

New beat that mixes 8Bit with some modern sounds: http://www.soundclick.com...10995453&q=hi&newref=1 (beat picks up around 0:30) FL Studio kept crashing on me so the beat is a little messy, let me know what you think! **Optional Reading/Interesting Facts** - - Main synth (that starts out at the beginning) is an 8Bit synth but has quite a bit of processing on it so it sounds more 16Bit with all the reverb and delay - - Bass, Snare, and Kick are all 8Bit sounds with non-8Bit sounds layered underneath them (to give them more presence and a more modern vibe) - - There are many different "pure" 8Bit sounds mixed in throughout the entire beat

    Sounds nice, if very repetitive (I imagine that's the intent though). So, what's '8Bit' then -  lo-fi sounds, old-school monophonic synths, that kind of thing?

    yeah, 8Bit is a term referring to the limitations of the CPU, for example, the original NES had an 8Bit CPU so sounds that you would attach to that type of quality is what is recreated when using 8Bit synthesizers; so yeah, very lo-fi, gritty, retro "video game" type sounds

    I liked the beat alot and the sounds you used and sound effects.  I'd like to hear it with a little less repetition on the high part and more variety on the chord progression.  Female vox sound good.

    Nice. Let the main synth part drop out for a few bars for contrast.
