Which Akai do you have? Are you into boom bap?

Yes, EQ is the highlight of the Toft, message me.

I wouldn't mind doing it as long as I have the gear, so you have plenty of time.

Cool! Yes, please do followup Invisible Robot, and same for you guys when you're ready.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer files. Email is limited to 25mb...You guys think maybe Google Drive? Even better would be a way to upload via a form on my site if anyone knows anything about that.

Anyone have anything they want processed for a trial run? Even a completed track...I wanna go through the process of exchanging files.

I was wondering how to contribute and give back to the chiptune community to return the generosity that has been shown to me. I've collected some analog gear through the years to build up a decent home studio. I know in the past I had wanted to just process some sounds through analog gear, but didn't have access or funds to do it.

That being said would anyone be interested in having files: re-amped, compressed, EQed, mixed or analog summed through the gear listed below?

Gearlist:
Manley Voxbox
2x Empirical Labs Distressor
Alesis 3630
Toft ATB08 mixer (8 channels of Trident 80B sound)
converted via RME UFX

This would be free of charge, optional donation afterward.   

Yay nay?

First LSDJ release. Classical, chipstep, and house. My favs in order: Space, Juke, and Derbsterp.

Tracks were mixed/re-amped through DMG-01, Toft ATB, Manley Voxbox, and Distressors.

Thanks for listening!

There's a book about this exact problem. Basically, you have to keep creating to keep your boat (self) afloat, otherwise you sink. http://www.amazon.com/The-Van-Gogh-Blue … 1577316045

Personally, I think creative people need affirmation, not superficial stuff like FB or money (unless it's enough to make a living), but from other people in person. A musician's purpose is to create, and perform. An audience that truly enjoys it will be plenty of affirmation of your purpose as a musician.

Creating is only one half of what you do, you need to get out there and share your creations in real life, FB and the internet don't count, and wont be enough.  There's nothing like creating honestly, and having a crowd, even a small one enjoy it. Internet likes, views, are subscribers are just numbers.

Even a small show at 5 or 10 people who are truly into what you do...those people will motivate you to create more. I speak from experience, and would trade 150k views, 700 subs, and ad revenue anytime for a real life performance high any day.
