in NYC its great... but I'm back in Maryland for the summer. There's actually a decent amount of us here (between northern VA, DC, and WV), but we're all generally at least an hour's drive from each other, so its difficult to get together often. There's also a huge lack of venues until you get into either Baltimore or DC, and even there, only a select few are supportive of anything that's not hip hop or terribly outdated hard rock cover bands.

It's not but I mean dude...then just use a synth where it has the voices synced for you already
bleh
EDIT: i cant play synths or instruments anyway

chillbrave has, but I think they used it mostly for kick drum beefening.
ay! I just saw this.
Yeah, we did Vengeance Valley with 4xDMG.... it was the only track we've done like that though, such a pain in the butt.
We didn't use it much for ridiculous polyphony, but we layered sounds with it, did octaves of instruments, bigger chords, etc.
The kick was one entire game boy, with each channel as one layer of it.
Rarely in that track were all 4 game boys actually using all 4 channels simutaneously. It was mainly for having more wav channels. Also one game boy was specified as the "effects" DMG that was the only one being processed by PopSTAR's KP3.
so it wasn't necessarily 16 layers of sound (though cmon, think about how many synths these days have AT LEAST 16 voices... 16 layers of monophonic LSDJ channels doesn't seem all that ridiculous in comparison)

Re: Gameboy noise cancellation through stereo inversion. (11 replies, posted in Audio Production)
whoops now that I'm way more awake I just realized why my idea won't work
(would be practically impossible to get the waveforms to line up correctly for full phase cancellation with my idea)

Re: Gameboy noise cancellation through stereo inversion. (11 replies, posted in Audio Production)
this might be a ridiculous suggestion, but would it be possible to do just two recordings: one from the gameboy with the track playing, and one with JUST the hum (without the song playing back)?
Assuming the hum is pretty constant, inverting the signal of the hum track should be able to cause phase cancellation of the background noise on the original track still too...
this seems far too simple to actually work, but I don't have time to test it right now. what do you all think?
EDIT: I mean for doing full, stereo LSDJ tracks. I don't think your technique for mono tracks can get much easier!

I drove through the bluelight district at 3am on Record Store Day 2012 and a car was literally flipped upside down on fire in the middle of a ghetto neighborhood. I was shitting my pants all the way to Fells Point and finally felt safe when I got in line outside of The Sound Garden. There was a ton of big burly vinyl junkies
Baltimore is the scariest city I've been to yet.
I accidentally drove through that area the first time we had Byte Nyte at the Hour Haus O.o not fun

Re: What's your life outside of making chiptune? (235 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I'm 18, currently finishing up my freshman year studying music technology at NYU (with PopSTAR lololol), living in a dorm "on campus" (in reality "campus" is just greenwich village / washington sq park)
I live in Frederick, Maryland and will be returning there for the summer (EXCEPT FOR BLIP DUH), but seem to be slowly transitioning to living mostly in NYC. I work in the NYU library for now and just do dumb stuff with my various friends from NYU / New School / randomotherplacesinthecity in my free time.
