seriously why aren't you doing that

Why aren't you playing your music on a Game Boy pocket plugged into the mains with a broken headphone jack into a set of old grey PC speakers then recording that with your laptop's built in microphone and then adding effects with Audacity? You fucking prima donna.

embrace the GRIME and the FILTH.

i kinda feel that if you are going to bother going to such extremes/hardwork to alter the sound of the game boy then you might as well just ditch the game boy and use plogue.

She kind of reminds me of Veruca from the old Willy Wonka movie...

this whole post is pure awesome

oh, it's certainly a possibility, but like I said I would kind of like to avoid it if I can. more for workflow issues than any sense of "handheld loyalty" haha.

Really?  have you tried different DMGs?  I've never noticed pops related H or G commands, and barely any glaring pops related to duty cycle changes on the pulse channel, and I usually track with things at pretty low volumes.  I have DMGs that deffinitely make more noises than other DMGs.

Some people may call this heresy, but have you tried exporting the sound from BGB?  If you're going to great lengths in post to get a clean sound, you may as well try BGB.  The difference in sound will probably be negligible (re: your clients will likely not realize you used an emulator), and while BGB's sound is pretty darn accurate, it is less poppy-clicky and you'll have a cleaner product.

My SP is SUPER noisy.  It might be my cheap third-party headphone adapter, but beware.  The hiss is strong with it.

Without 'R' pops a lot of my instruments wouldn't work, I've adapted it as a tool and use it to my advantage.

yeah, or R commands, or switching between waveforms in the PW channels, or H commands or tempo related things with G commands haha. it's a long list of things to avoid XD

for my own music I don't mind the pops at all, just part of the aesthetic. but I feel weird turning in noisy recordings to clients.

that's really good to know. I have some sp shopping in my future then... to ebay!

In answer to your op question regarding SPs i've noticed little to no clicks or pops as a result of E commands. Especially compared to my DMGs. But one of my SPs does make a little noise, so you have to find the right kind. This is hard because it's not a difference in their serial. They're both AGS-100s but my red one just makes little pops even when you press buttons. My light gray one doesn't.

that's beautiful jellica

i almost wanna write "horse 2"

listen to your own music on acid, understand that the clicks and pops add an extra layer of depth to your music.
