Yes, but you can make a little five-minute-mod and your L and R buttons will work as SELECT&START. And this is much_more_comfortable for use with LSDJ then even a DMG layout.

imagine that....

nice one man i posted here

yeah its interesting what I'm doing with chiptune because the whole point is reverb and delay, i'm learning how to make it work at the minute, but its with a physcial analogue reverb, through and actual spring.
Someone said to me in another thread Disrupts reggae riddim album made on a gameboy was too simple and LSDJ tecniques were not good enough giving a very simple sound, but that is kind of exactly what reggae riddim is about is simplicity nailed, with good bass and good lead and good delay/reverb.

Also in regards to audacity the reason i do it this way is for mixing and mastering - it's just a little better to do in logic with the mixer and the buses etc

interesting!

I am currently in the process of recording my first bunch of finished LSDJ songs to the computer. I am recording them track by track all hard panned to the Left. Once inside Logic I am using the Gain plug-in to invert the right channel and make the track mono, this cancels all noise out from the recording as a pissbox does and allows me to EQ each layer of music separately, and add reverb/delay to four different tracks rather than my previous restriction of 2 tracks.

Anyway I had two questions i'd like to see what the community thinks about recording and mastering at this level, and also possibly adding drums to the logic project from a place that isn't a DMG, do people think its a cool idea to get a higher quality sound at the end of things, or are there purists who think straying too far from a DMG is not what they are about, obviously everyone has a right to an opinion on how they think something should be done, and no one has a right o dictate how someone else does something but I'm just simply curious about peoples thoughts, cos I've been thinking a lot about it myself.

second question is, has anyone done production like this before? any tips?

peace

I cant even get your message:

everyone has answered very well so far and I'll add my two pence:

the length of a chain for me depends on the progression of the chords/melody i am using

so if I have a progression that is (for basic example) :

C major off beat chords for two bars
E major off beat chords for two bars

or

C major off beat chords for three bars
C Minor off beat chords for one bar

The Chain will be 4 phrases long. This is a simple progression of chords and goes back to the start every 4 bars. But obviously some songs are more complex or have a bit more to them, I have some chord progressions that are 8 bars long and are then 8 phrases to a chain, and I am even covering a song right now where the lead melody is 16 bars long and therefore my chains are completely full.

I find that keeping chains the same length really helps for knowing how far away sections are in the song, and how long your song is by looking at the song screen.

Finally got it all together in one place after a couple months of buying various bits and bobs. I present to you, the Gameboy dub set up!


Gameboys are floating with GoPro attachments, the reverb and delay unit is from Rigsmith hi fi, one gameboy is from B_tech on facebook (www.facebook.com/burnfingers), the other gameboy is from Joe Bleeps second hand off ebay, both very lovely people and well modded DMGs.
