BEFORE WE GET TO THE MAIN POINT: Let's clear this out. I have had some confusion brought up by a few people asking me the following things:

1. "Can you make LMMS songs for Trapped?"
2. "Is the New Things song set our way of doing Trapped in LMMS?"
3. "What is the difference between Trapped and New Things?"

POINT 1 ANSWER: No. Trapped is STRICTLY made in FL Studio Mobile 3. I do NOT plan to make ANY songs for Trapped via LMMS.

POINT 2 ANSWER: That is not the point of New Things. New Things is meant to be a set of songs strictly based on music I have either not obtained enoughed experienced, need practice with, or ideas that I have either not touched or failed doing.

POINT 3 ANSWER: Trapped is a set of songs strictly made in FL Studio Mobile 3. New Things is no where close to Trapped. NOW TO CLEAR THIS OUT. New Things is strictly made in LMMS, but I do, however, have a small chance of expanding that to FL Studio Mobile 3, but the chances of that happening are slim to none for now.

NOW LET'S GET TO THE MAIN POINT.

This part of the people is strictly about New Things. I have had some genres in mind that I have always wanted to either go make and/or return to making:

1. Breakbeat - This may be a far reach for me, mainly because I have little knowledge about breakbeat (meaning this could be out of the question for a future song for New Things).
2. Complextro - Before you ask about this genre, I want to make more advanced complextro in the future, but not the near future. Yes, the complextro I have made does somewhat fit the criteria of complextro music.
3. Dubstep - This is a very hard genre for anybody who can't control their sounds properly (like me). I may come back to dubstep when other people (by "other people", I mean those who have done serious critiques on my past attempts; e.g. @AndoGDTunes, @DJRadiocutter, etc.) know I am ready.
4. Electro Swing - This is a personal favorite genre of mine. The first downside is that I have never touched this genre EVER, so I might do some quick scraps first before doing a full-blown electro swing song. The other downside is that I have heard that the amount of skill for this genre is quite variable, so how I will make my electro swing song will determine how much skill I need (I guess that is correct).
   1. I have had a suggestion to make Redo electro swing (or just in that similar feel). I may do that, but the chances are low but the chances may change.
5. Scary Ambience/Complextro Fusion - This is a crazy combination, I know that. The thing is, for the past year, I have had somebody ask me to combine these two into one song. I may do this, but this is very unlikely.

I will hopefully add to this list as time progresses.

A big thank you to @JoseLuisCano who became my 90th fan, and I just realized that 10 more fans and I will be at 100 fans! :O

Since I did a big room version Strong Force for its one year special, I am thinking of either remaking and or making X remakes of my old songs (mainly those I made from CHIPS) when their dates come close.

Which songs should I go for?

CHIPS III: Colors
Crazy Colors
Colorful Dance Machine
*Dark Colored Trails will not be remade

CHIPS IV: Nostalgia/Longing/Loss
Funky Night *This is highly unlikely
Mixed Emotions

CHIPS VII: Space
Spacetranced *This is highly unlikely
Andromeda

CHIPS VIII: The Big Dance
Overdrive and Overload

CHIPS IX: Into the Dark
Through the Portal into the Dark
Big Bangs in the Dark

CHIPS X: Dreams
Operation: G.A.M.E.S.C.A.P.E.

CHIPS XI: The Final Battle
Game Evolution *This is not likely, but possible
Battle of the Thonk *This is not likely, but possible
Last Stage
*Plasma Sword will not be remade

CHIPS SAIM (Story and Art-Inspired Music)
Digital Behavior *This is highly unlikely

CHIPS Secret Santa
Warning *Please notify me in advance (within 4 weeks of the date of this song)

I actually cannot believe it has been a year since I made Strong Force. :O

In a past news post, I made this story for Strong Force:

While I was making Truth 2, I was thinking of putting in a dubstep drop, but I kept failing, so I went to the demo song Jasmina by Goldhands and used a similar pattern, but I still kept failing. So for the 5 days after, I just went the normal route for Truth 2 and improvised. Not long after that, in April 24, I started a totally new project just for testing a simple dubstep track. I listened to Goldhands's Jasmina again and then listened to ELEPS44's Effects and Dubstep Machine remix. When I got to the pre-drop, I was still trying to figure out a great pattern for a dubstep drop. I was in the same position as I was a month prior, failing just like I did in the drop attempt in Truth 2. So I stopped working on the project and went back to Truth 2 and finished it. Truth 2, at the time, became my best song and most productive, with a total production time of 40 hours. Truth 2 is still my most productive song as of today. So 3 days after I uploaded Truth 2, I began working on the unnamed project (soon to be Strong Force). Just 2 hours after, I found out about a weekly contest called NGCHIPS, so this gave me a bigger inspiration boost. On the next day, I had a eureka moment for the first dubstep drop. 3 hours later, the first dubstep drop became my best work I have done since my first music piece I have done by myself in 2014. Just only 2 days after, the second drop idea came. I just pitched the notes to different pitches so it sounds different, and so it did. I finished it on May 9, where between then and May 13, I tweaked some stuff here and there until it became the Strong Force song you here today. I renamed the unnamed song to Strong Force on May 12. That is pretty much the big story.

Every once in a while, I come back listening to Strong Force and wondering if I could travel back in time just to see how I made the song. Even though I have a lot more songs better than Strong Force now, Strong Force was mainly my big turning point for making music (yes, Truth 2 has a major part in this as well).

I am no longer a part of the CHIPS community as I have moved away from it because I had too much time on my hands with other things. I do appreciate the feedback I have gotten from them though. :)

Sorry for being inactive for over 15 days. Usually, I would upload songs here weekly, but it has been around 2 weeks since I did my last song: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/795182



I have been doing a lot of music lately in the meantime, here is a list of what I have been working on:

1. NGAP15 A-BOT's THEME

This is a theme collaboration with @FGK2015, and it will be his last collaboration, because he is leaving. We will try to get this theme ready for NGAP15 hopefully within the date of April 21st.

2. CHIPS CACAOPHONY ENTRIES

I have one entry underway that is in the Chips Cacaophony Bonus Round 2. No further details on this song.

3. REMIX FOR TheFantasticZ (TRAPPED CHAPTER 3)

I have recently been talking to @TheFantasticZ about remixing one of his songs yesterday. The remix is not yet official on which song it will be, but it will be a future song he will be making. I also decided to make the remix the third song in Trapped.

@Awesomeology @DJRadiocutter @ELEPS44 @FGK2015 @Skiddle @Pellejonsson1 @TheFantasticZ @TheMajician @thVTA @tNava (or @Khateyus or @Kirefyx)

Anyways, this post is about the Truth 3 megacollaboration, which I have decided to move straight to starting ASAP.
