I have a Behringer as well and a good set up (for 1 channel) that has worked well for me is to have High pass on full or slightly less, Mid pass on about 3/4 or slightly more, and Low pass, obviously, on full.... other than that, I would just say to change the volume of instruments so the bass is more obviously emphasized

The simpler the waveform the stronger the perceived bass, too

I KNOW, THAT'S WHY I SAID IT.

edit: i suppose you mean simple as in harmonics, sorry, ignore that then

Still, it's nice to see that I can now achieve a better mix live.

CURTIS.

Other things you can do is making your "volume" levels for your WAV instruments seem lower (frostbyte know more about this than do).
Also - you might want to look at adding some sort of tubes for extra warmth or adding some different capacitors.
How would I add tubes to the DMG?? Or do you meant he amp.... I'm very interested.

You could always run the DMG through a studio mic preamp, a lot of them are tube-powered.

Honestly I think running a DMG through tubes for 'warmth' is snake oil. The whole aesthetic is cold hard transistor perfection anyways. Seriously, it's a stupid idea.
And this is coming from a guy who plays through a great tube amp for guitars.

I've been doing this lately, and I think it sounds great, personally. I find it removes some harshness and mildly distorts really nicely on basslines.

i tried to get more bass with a modified prosound and seems to be working.... i tried with headphone and you can hear a little difference .. but never tried with big amplification and subwoofers ..
it work but only for very low basses . (whould say 20-40 hz) ..
the PCB will go to production normally this week ..

I could not do what I do without access to one ha

All about that wave channel sound design and leveling.
helps if you're actually producing on a subwoofer as well when you're familiar with the sub's frequency range. you're essentially guessing otherwise in regards to which low-end frequencies you're going to be hitting, being that you don't have anything particularly made to change those in LSDJ.
I suppose once you became very familiar with each of the wave forms you would be able to tell where they should land on the spectrum based on the shape and regarding the note you're playing it at... but I think that would be pretty hard

You need to learn how to mix your tracks inside of the Game Boy if you wanna get good sound on a system/ with your mixer. It's that simple. PU1 and, a PU2 usually don't go above 6X in volume for me, and it makes things a lot easier when recording, playing live, etc.

My guess to why your mixer isn't affecting the low bass sound you want is that Behringer's EQ may be set for higher than you want. The deep bass frequencies you'll want to boost are 50-60 Hz. Some low end EQs can be set at 100-200Hz, which can add more of a low-mid type sound. The closer you get to 400-500Hz, the boxier things start to sound. If your low EQ is a shelf, then it should be boosting everything below it's setting too, in which case your problem may be better fixed with dynamics and changing your waveform like others have mentioned. The underclocked gameboy specifically for bass intrigues me. It would make writing more complicated, but it would make things sound so much better.
