Re: What headphones are you using? (33 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
I use these Superlux HD668B. Their a little low on base response because their semi open headphones, but because their semi open headphones they give a cleaner sound to the mids and highs in my opinion. Their really really good quality for the price.

Re: 3/4 Timing with just Groove? (16 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
urbster1 wrote:
now for the real question, how to do 5/4 timing with just groove? or without groove. i guess keep you can either use H command after beat 1 of phrase 2, or forget beats per phrase and just use 5 phrases for 4 bars of 5. not as elegant though.
I think the best way to do that would just to split it up into 3/4 then 2/4. So a H on C and another in the next phrase at 8. It would keep it a lot cleaner I think.

If I get an interface that is not USB feeding that individual signal, how do I get the audio to my computer?
I just use an RCA to 1/8" jack cable from my master out on my Numark DXM06(RCA) into my PC mic in(1/8" Jack) and it works really good for me.

it seems you are talking about 2 different things here, time signature vs. groove.

Messing with groove affects swing, but you're talking about time signatures?
Sorry if it was seeming like I was talking about two different things. What I was originally trying to do was have a song go from 4/4 to 3/4 and at the time I was thinking that I could change the number of ticks played in the phrases that where set to 3/4, with having the result of shortening the phrase.
After a while of digging for info on groove, I couldn't really find anything that had a decent detailed explanation of what groove is and how it works. I'm just kind of left being a bit of confused on how it work. Is there anything that shows how it works systematically in whatever they use to program LSDj or gives a good explanation of how it works in a general idea? I would really like to learn in depth how groove works, like the math behind it and such.
urbster1 wrote:
first you want to know if you can do 3/4 without H. well sure, keep groove set to 6/6 and just use 3 phrases for every 4 bars instead of 4 (12 16th notes x 4 bars = 48 lines; beat 1 of bar 2 starts on line 0C of the first phrase, etc). however this won't make it as easy to remember which bar of the song you are sequencing, and if you're not careful it might cause your chains to come out of sync. just depends on how you want to program it. visually it's easier to see where the end of each bar is if you use H at 0C instead.

sounds like you're doing a lot extra work for no good reason.. i'd just stick with using H commands for 3/4 time
What I ended up doing instead was putting a H command on line C in every phrase and keeping the groove at the default 6/6. My head can process that better then trying to use 3 phrases. Mainly because you kind of lost me with this bit here (12 16th notes x 4 bars = 48 lines; beat 1 of bar 2 starts on line 0C of the first phrase, etc).

I seen that as well but when I tried to use it the kits that I had layered in the WAV channel would sound a bit off from each other for some reason.

Topic: 3/4 Timing with just Groove? (16 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
So recently I deiced to throw on my big boy pants and try and mess with the groove timing in LSDj. With doing so I've been wondering if you could do a 3/4 timing without using the H command. I can make a 3/4 timing with groove when I set 0 to 5, and 1 to 4 on the groove screen, but I have to set a D on beat 5 to 01, and another D on beat A to 03 on the phrase screen if that makes since haha. I would like to keep away from using the D command or any commands in general and just use the groove timing if possible. Is there a way to do that?

Topic: Trying a new approach with my chiptune music. Need advice please! (3 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
So I just made a new track called "Lets Get This Parade Started" for my album *!BitParade!* and I took a different approach on how I structured the song. I've usually been trying to keep most of my tracks simple so they don't get all muddy from to many instruments playing at once. But with this track I wanted to try and make things a little bit more complicated. Now the problem is that I can't really tell if there's too much going on. It sounds fine to me but then again, I have all the melodies stuck in my head so I can pick them out easily. So if its not to much trouble to ask, could you guys give my track a listen and let me know what you think? Any type of constructive criticism is much appreciated.

Re: PA and mixer setup only plays L or R sound from Gameboys (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

You're trying to route a Stereo signal to a mono signal with an adapter to the PA board?
Yes because I don't have anything at the moment for splitting the RCA's into two separate 1/4" jacks for L and R. Also changing from a stereo to mono signal shouldn't be an issue because I also ran a signal straight from my GBC to the PA. I just used the RCA to 1/8" cable and the 1/8" to 1/4" adapter, cutting out the Numark.

Topic: PA and mixer setup only plays L or R sound from Gameboys (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
So the other day I was at a friends and tried to run my Numark to my friends PA board so I could run the mix through the PA speakers and monitor speakers(thinking we could make something cool like anamanaguchi with a full band). But for some reason when I had my two GBC's running into my Numark and then out to the PA system, it gets really distorted (It sounds like its only picking up the bass end of things at a vary high gain and cutting out the mids and highs). I checked all the gain levels on the PA and Numark. I checked the EQ(tried flat lining it and bringing it all down as well) and everything and no matter how low I brought the gain down it was still distorted. The only way I could get it to work was removing either the L or R output RCA going into the Numark from both Gameboys making the Gameboys have a mono output into the Numark.
-----------------------------------------------------
Here's the list of equipment I was using:
-----------------------------------------------------
2x - GBC with RCA Prosound mod
2x - RCA cables
1 - Numark DMX 06 Mixer
1 - RCA to 1/8"
1 - 1/8" to 1/4" adapter
---------------------------------------------------
Here's the order in which it was set up:
---------------------------------------------------
GBC - RCA - (line input)
- Numark - RCA to 1/8" - 1/8" to 1/4" adapter - Channel 7 L (Mono) input on PA board
GBC - RCA - (line input)
---------------------------
Things that I've tried:
---------------------------
1. ) I swapped the input from Line to Phono on the mixer and changed the channel input on the PA board as well and still had the same issue. What is that used for anyways? I mean it outputs the same but what's the purpose of the ground being there?
2.) I ran both GBC's and DMG's straight into the channel 7 L(Mono) input on the PA board using the RCA to 1/8" and the 1/8" to 1/4" adapter and they worked with no issues.
3.) I tried using a different a different mixer(ran through both line and phono) and PA board and I came up with the same issue.
4.) Swapped out the RCA cables including the RCA to 1/8" cable, 1/8" to 1/4" adapter and that had no effect
5.) I tried swapping over to my DMG's(both using 1/8" Prosound mod) and ran those through the same setup and no luck.
6.) I tried running as close as I could to the setup at my friends when I was home, but ran it through my home stereo using the Aux in port(1/8" input) because I don't have a PA board. The only things I ended up cutting out of the setup where the 1/8" to 1/4" adapter and the PA board. When doing this I had no issue with the sound at all.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? It's really got me confused and any thoughts on this would help. Thanks!

That seems insanely expensive. As I mentioned in my post, you could grab an inexpensive USB-MIDI adaptor and plug it into a raspi for the same effect and save a lot of money.
Yea that's true. Although I do feel a bit intimidated by the arduinoboy's cause all of this diy hardware stuff is new to me, but that would definitely cut down on costs. I'm guessing though most of it is all fairly simple to setup and use?
