Yeah I've heard Win8 is just a Win7 skin, but I just want to be sure tongue also, any recommendations for good (and cheap) netbooks/tablets? I'm going to be backpacking Europe and so I want something small that I can use for e-mail/booking things (though working with EMS64 is great too)

Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy a netbook (or windows tablet) for when I'm travelling, but it needs to work with my EMS 64 carts, I'm currently using the "Disable Driver Enforcement" workaround when I boot my Win7 laptop and it works fine, I'm wondering if this option still exists for Win8, or if anyone has tried it out. Thanks.

Unless it actually IS and they're just being really clever about it...

Also, I'm impressed that you made it to this forum somehow, good job!

Since G+ has integrated live streams all broadcasts are automatically added to Youtube which is a great feature. They've also got the option for high quality audio in the settings for the stream which makes G+ pretty great for this sort of thing.

r.e. books: given that chip musicians collectively can't even write a decent wikipedia article i'm not sure i want to read a book about it wink

Haha truth!
We really should see about getting an LSDJ article back up there, it's plenty big enough to have one.

Hi there, I figure I'll speak into this since you seem to like me haha, I always love to see fans picking up LSDJ and getting into it themselves, the accessibility of this scene is one of the things that makes it special! That being said, I also always recommend that people try to do their part as well, that means working hard and doing a lot of tracks on their own, it'll take a lot of practice to get the hang of it, so keep going!

Also, I'm glad you enjoy my instruments, I make them available for use, but I think you'll probably learn more about LSDJ if you try to make some of your own.

Best of luck, you'll be cranking out awesome tunes in time!

PS. Telling your audience that they'll hate your music isn't the best way to get people to listen, smile

I'll preface my ideas by stating that I just played a webshow for WWCW 2 days ago,

I've never really understood the appeal of webshows, usually the audio/visual quality is poor, the performances are often unpolished, and most of the material is available for download in good quality elsewhere. This being said, I performed in the WWCW because I knew that even though I don't care for webshows, many other people do like them, it was an opportunity for me to get new material out there and a good excuse to rent a KPQuad for a while. Overall I was relatively disappointed with the way the WWCW went, it was a cool idea, but it was long, and there were technical glitches throughout.

I enjoy the radioshow format (like TrueStar's Noisechannel) it provides an avenue for discussion about chip, interaction in the IRC with a Radio Host moderating discussion (I also love that TrueStar actually reads and comments on things in the IRC). Listening Parties are probably my favourite, you get to listen in tandem with other chipfans and discuss particular elements of songs (usually with the original artist answering any questions) and the stream is actually of decent quality.

I'd love to see more chip talk shows, Q/A sessions, and discussions of Scene related events with a panel of esteemed artists. I love talking shop about chip and discussing different techniques and exploitations, and the quirks about our scene and I'd love to have a forum in which to discuss, or hear guided discussion about these topics.

I'd also be completely open to doing a streamed Q/A and lesson segment, I've gotten quite a few questions about some of my more advance LSDJ tricks and I'd love to walk people through them on air (G+ hangouts work FANTASTIC for this, built-in Screen share and stream to youtube).

Looks nice! Is the original Headphone jack still intact? How clear is the Backlight?

Cool! I'll try this out tomorrow, might be a cool way to start off a set!  I'm curious, can you explain how you're using the hardware to get this sound? I know there's 4 channels in LSDJ, but I also know that they're artificial channels in that it's really just using the gb's logic circuits (no sound chip right? ). Are you avoiding the 4 channel route entirely and using the CPU completely differently?

Edit: Just tried it out, the graphic is a really nice touch, helps with balancing beating. If you could rig this up to a scale that would be sweet, though it works really well without actually. I will find a way to use this somehow.
