When Jojo from MODPlug Central posted a topic about fast tracking I kind of said that I could do better.

With that in mind (and its something I wanted to do for quite some time now) I finally made some time to track a chiptune in the style I always do my chiptunes nowadays. Due to wanting to make it within the timeframe of an hour, I did rushed it a little bit and thus not given the song the proper care as I usually do. As result, I got the entire recording done in 55 minutes and 45 seconds. Geez, only 10 seconds more... :P

Because of that, I missed a few things during the making of video that I fixed later. The entire time it took me to fix those things is still less than 5 minutes though, but the listening to is what took about 3 to 8 hours LOL.

You can download the fixed versions here:

.IT file: http://files.lpchip.com/lpchip/Battle.zip
.MP3 file: http://files.lpchip.com/lpchip/LPChip%20-%20Battle%20for%20Justice.mp3

I also made the making of, which I splitted in 7 parts, as I cannot upload video's to youtube that are larger than 10 minutes. :(

For the best result, watch in HD quality, and full screen.

Part 1/7 - Intro
Part 2/7 - Melody 1
Part 3/7 - Melody 2
Part 4/7 - Melody 3
Part 5/7 - Variations 1
Part 6/7 - Variations 2
Part 7/7 - Ending

Please give me feedback and if you like the video's, a comment/rating on youtube would be great too :)

You, my good sir, get an automatic victory for making some chiptunes.

Did I forget to mention they sound awesome? Ah, well. :P

I'll admit I was confused when watching the videos at first.. then I realised it was a video of the song being made. Then I thought "cooooooool"..

Then I put it on my iPod. :P

That's definitely not a bad chiptune, considering it was made in an hour!  I praise you LPChip.  I need to learn how to use MPT.  The interface in your video looks much more simple than the one on my screen when I load it.  Maybe I need to update.

I just updated, and decided to start figuring out things about MPT based on my experience with MilkyTracker.  Your song is rather inspiring. :)
