So I made this west coast rap song but I feel something is lacking. While I know it needs to a rapper to really be complete, I think the verses in particular are cumbersome and repetitive. This being said, I don't want to get all experimental with it. Simple 90's gangsta rap. I just feel like the song is lacking in teeth somehow.

So I made a song with the Ghetto Samples kit and through the DMG speakers or the headphone jack to headphones it sounds fine. But when I try to record the channel into my audio interface and recording software (Reaper), the samples don't give any sound. Every other part of the song records perfectly.

Any ideas fam?

What I need to know is how to play the melody that starts at 0:07 and ends at 0:17

Thanks in advance!

If I had 4 gameboys and each with an LSDJ cart, and I wanted to play a song I wrote made up of 16 channels, what would be the easiest way to do it?

I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to simply have a central LSDJ cart for all 4 gameboys. I would guess they would all need their own.
But thanks for any input. Starting to think about doing some live shows.

You might try adding some hop gated tables so that your lead tones kind of  evolve over time.  Also it's hard to go wrong with a detune of 1 or 2 on just about any instrument.

Btw, this song kicks ass.

Could you explain how to do hop gated tables? I'm just starting with tables. Newbie here haha

Hey all! Trying to learn how to make more interesting sounding lead tones and I was wondering if anyone could guess how to make the lead instrument that comes in at 0:20 in this song: https://shadynastyiscool.bandcamp.com/t … r-scissors

I'm trying to make my simple bass lines sound more interesting my changing duty cycles in a table. However, it always sounds out of time when I change duty cycles. I'm in 4/4 time. Any ideas for smoother sounding cycling?

I really don't understand how I can move my songs off of my usb cart to my pc to put on bandcamp or how to convert these files to the appropriate file type. Any ideas?
