First song!

Hmm.... I can't tell if you're telling the truth of your first 8-bit Chiptune song is "Shit" or not...

What is that supposed to mean?
it's my first chiptune song worth sharing and I don't really think its that good even... my opinion

This actually sounds pretty good and catchy, really makes me feel like a racing game type of music, you have potential kid

Not bad. Not bad indeed.

Oh, so people actually like this trash?!
Well here's another one:

Does this contribute in anyway to the conversation?

No.

Anyways I'll let the admins do their job.

Don't backseat moderate, especially when you're aware that you are doing so and still do it

Guess it's been a while...

IDK about this one, the others were fine but this I kinda don't like

Electric Circles has the best melody lines but whatever the clapping sound is ruins the entire thing. Your songs also lack any kind of phrasing

My favorite is Exploration Notes. Reminds me of PM: TTYD

Very simple but very nice!

Yeah, these are neat. City Traffic Chiptune is pretty catchy and the chromaticism of Exploratory Notes gave me some major Wario vibes. I'd say you went a bit overboard with the percussive embellishments in Electric Circles and Exploratory Notes just kinda wanders off and ends without providing much of a sense of closure. If you're specifically going for a more experimental sound then that's okay, otherwise you may want to aim for a good middle ground between City Traffic and the other two.

I suggest giving this video a watch. Don't worry too much about the complex sheet music breakdowns and chord progression jargon (even as someone who partially understands that stuff I find it a bit overwhelming too lol), just listen to the main points about the principles and follow along with the animated music examples.

Thank you all! I will take it easy with the claps and drum noises and focus on melody and ryhem. Also exploratory notes didn’t really give closure because it was meant to go on loop, but yeah thanks everyone!

I reached a point where I can't stop listening to Exploratory Notes. It's that good.

D'oh, I didn't think to listen to them on loop before!

...Well, Exploratory Notes makes for a somewhat disorienting loop, but again if that's what you were going for that's fine. It's more of a seamless loop than the other two but the lack of resolution at the end of the loop still leaves the listener hanging.

It's kind of like starting a new sentence before completing the If you're aiming for a more traditional loop you'll generally want to end the melody either on the same note that the melody starts with, a note that feels somewhat "final", or a note close enough to the first note that it'll naturally lead back into the start. You want it to feel like "okay, we're done with this round, get ready for the next one" rather than "okay let's keep going wait a second that seems familiar did we start over" or "and now for my final attaROUND TWO START".

And to be clear, I'm not saying this is the only way to write music -- music is an art as much as it is a science and if everyone just followed the rules to the T then it would all be boring. Trying to follow the rules too strictly can also take some of the fun out of the composition process. But if you can learn the rules up to the point where they become intuitive then your music will have a stronger foundation overall, and understanding the rules means you can break them much more effectively.

I guess I wanted to do something different. Also there are plenty of megalovania remixes that changes more than just the pitch, volume or instrument.
