INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Chiptunes are made using sounds that originally came from the sound chips in computer and video game consoles, and you'll need to add those sounds to your program in order to make a chiptune. While there are several ways you can get chiptune sounds, one of the easiest is downloading a VST chiptune plug-in, which will add the sounds you need to your music program so you can start using them to make music.  To find free or paid VST chiptune plug-ins, just search “VST chiptune plug-in” online and download one on your computer. Then, follow the instructions for the plug-in to add it to your music program. Some VST chiptune plug-ins you can try are Chipsounds, NESPulse, and Tweakbench Peach. If you're using a chiptune app on a mobile device or an online chiptune maker, you won't need to download a VST plug-in since the sounds you need should already be available to you. In the past, chiptune sounds came directly from their original hardware, like Gameboys and Ataris, but nowadays most of those sounds are available online. However, you can still produce and upload sounds directly from old computer and video game consoles if you have the right equipment. The process will vary depending on the console you're using, but you'll likely need some kind of hardware that plugs into the device, which will let you play sounds on it and then upload them to a computer.  If you're interested in using sounds from an old console, you can find a tutorial and the list of hardware you'll need online by searching something like “How to make chiptune sounds on a Gameboy.” You can find old consoles online through websites like eBay and Craigslist. The sound chips used in old computer and gaming consoles were unique to each console, which is why each kind of console produced different sounds. By recreating the unique conditions and limitations of a sound chip in a music program, you can replicate the sounds that sound chip produced. If you want to make chip sounds without a VST plug-in or an actual console, look up the specifications for a console you want to replicate and recreate those settings in your music program. Then, when you lay down notes, they'll sound like the notes produced by the console. For example, if you wanted to replicate the sounds a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) makes, you could look up the specifications for the sound chip used in that model. The specifications would include how many channels the chip had (the NES had 5), what the different channels were, and what the frequency range of each channel was. By matching those conditions in your music program, you could recreate NES sounds.

SUMMARY: Use a virtual studio technology (VST) plug-in to easily get chiptune sounds. Upload sounds from consoles if you want to make authentic chiptunes. Try replicating old console sounds yourself if you're up for a challenge.

The oils in your skin also tend to make the eyebrow color look darker, so going 1-2 shades lighter than your hair color will ensure the color does not become too pronounced or defined. You may try an eyebrow color that is 1 shade lighter to start and then go for an even lighter shade if you do not want your brows to appear too dark when you color them in. If you have hair that is lighter in color, make sure the eyebrow color is a bit darker so it stands out on your face. The shade should be light enough to look natural but dark enough to give your brows some definition. Start with an eyebrow color that is 1 shade darker and then try an even darker shade if you’d prefer your brows to look more defined. This will ensure your eyebrow color looks natural and not too dark against your brow hair. You may also want to try a taupe color if you have very light brown hair or light hair with blonde highlights. Look for a shade that is light brown so it does not appear too dark, especially if you have medium brown hair. If you have black hair or dark hair, go for a dark brown shade.  Unless your brows are naturally black, avoid using a black color for your brows, as it can look too harsh and dark. When in doubt, opt for a dark brown shade instead. If your brows are naturally black or a very dark brown, opting for a lighter shade might look unnatural. In these cases, you should use a black brow product. Complement the red tones in your hair with a light blonde eyebrow color. Usually, the lighter the shade of blonde, the better, as eyebrow hair for redheads tends to be very light.

SUMMARY: Select a shade that is at least 1-2 shades lighter if you have brown or black hair. Go for a shade that is 1-2 shades darker if you have blonde or light brown hair. Pick a taupe color if you have blonde hair. Go for a soft brown color if you have brown or black hair. Select a blonde color if you have red hair.

Make sure that anyone in the same room also knows not to turn the light back on while you are working on it. If you are taking out an incandescent or halogen bulb, you will need to wait 5-10 minutes after turning the light off for the bulb to be cool enough to handle. An LED bulb, on the other hand, will always be cool enough to handle. Depending on the type of track lighting you have, it may be necessary to take the light off the track before removing the light bulb. In general, if you can simply unscrew the light bulb out of the front of the fixture, then you don't need to take it down. If you need to take a cover or piece off of the fixture to get at the light bulb, it's probably easier to take it off the track before changing the bulb.  If you have the instructions that came with the track lighting system, consult it for information. You can also research the fixture online if it is particularly difficult to figure out. To take a fixture off of a track-lighting system, you typically need to rotate the base of the light. Loosen any set screws, pins, or locking rings that keep it in place on the track and then turn the fixture counter-clockwise 90 degrees. The whole thing should pop out of place and come out into your hand. Traditional incandescent, CFL, and LED bulbs are removed by unscrewing them counter-clockwise. However, track lighting often has specialty bulbs that are unscrewed, unplugged, or twisted and locked into place. Inspect the bulb before trying to take it out to see if you can identify how it is removed. Move it side to side and pull it towards you gently, watching to see if any movement occurs. With one of these motions, the bulb should begin to move.  You may need to take a cover off of the bulb to access it. If you can't see the surface of the bulb, explore the fixture to figure out how to get to it. Covers are usually kept in place with a small set screw or clip. If it is not self-explanatory how the bulb is disengaged, consult the installation instructions that came with the fixture.

SUMMARY:
Turn the light off. Determine if you need to disengage the fixture to get the bulb out. Remove the bulb from the light socket.
