Okay. I was wondering what those extra contacts were for. That's cool, thanks.

Will flat black spray paint work on a game boy case? I'm pretty sure I've painted plastic with that before..

Hey I've got a question about this mod: http://www.littlesounddj.com/lsd/prosound. Wouldn't the built in speaker still be active when using the new audio out? Are there better mods that still leave the headphone jack? I want to have two 1/8' jacks, one for headphones, one for line out.

Yeah... Well you are the ones making music on devices not intended for music production in the first place. Also with the 30 mins of soldering you could have used the saved money to buy your kids some ice cream. Some of my earliest memories as a child was watching and learning from my father soldering a memory expansion to our amiga 1000. To me it's all just excuses.
Wow, thanks for mentioning that actually. I looked up the directions and it looks pretty easy. I thought it would be really expensive/excruciating to make one. One thing I dont get, is there actually a dmg sound chip that goes in to it? I can't tell...
EDIT: Oh it links up. nm.

I guess one of the best parts of it is that you don't need to go anywhere near a fucking souless PC/Mac to make music or have any access to the internet to distract you.
this just in : PC/Mac is hardware.
Heh, thats true. I think what ppl mean is dedicated hardware. I suppose I could put 10 SIDs in my PC, and build a custom OS that just Boots to some software that interfaces with the SIDs. But that would be down right silly. 
edit: hardSID is rad.

Re: Thematic Variation (16 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Not sure if this will be of interest, but I found this somewhere on the net. different types of modulation. I dont agree with shift modulation showing no skill, but whatever.
"SHIFT MODULATION: This is the sleaziest and easiest. This is what most amateur songs have. Basically you just choose a new chord and go for it. It takes no skill and it shows. The only way a shift modulation can sound good is if the new key repeats the same chords like a sequential modulation. Alot of 60s music uses that kind of shift. Like when the whole verse and chorus moves up one fret for the end of the song.
SEQUENTIAL MODULATION: This is when a short melody repeats then repeats at a different pitch, carrying the song into the new key. Like in the song "When Love Comes Knocking at Your Door".
RELATIVE KEY MODULATION: This is when a song starts in a key, then changes to its relative major or minor. Like if you started in A, you would change the key to F#m, or from C to Am. Now be careful when doing it this way because relative chords are closely related anyways, so using secondary dominants will help make it obvious that the key is truly changing and not just using its relative casually like most songs do anyways. Remember, tonality must be established for the new key to be apparent to the listener.
PARALLEL KEY MODULATION: The song starts in a major or minor, then modulates to the major or minor of the same chord. For example, you start in A and end up in Am, or start in E and end up in Em. Alot of old Kinks tunes do this.
PIVOT CHORD MODULATION: The song changes to a new key using a chord common to both keys. This is another tricky one because tonality can be blurry if you dont watch out."

Yep, Bassnectar puts on the best shows. I like is stuff way more than "real" dubstep. I saw him at a couple of All Goods, and his was the only decent show at one of them, unless you are into listening to surviving members of the Grateful Dead.
Bassnectar is real dubstep. There's just a backlash against mid-range basslines. I like the shit out of Nero. More often though I listen to stuff like on Hotflush. Anyway...

I love how the populace will only pay attention to chip music long enough to say "Well isn't that sumthin'!". Well at least we can say the same.

It's not cynicism, just there are at least 5 "(DUBSTEP NANOLOOP LSDJ)" tracks being posted every week at the moment. Thankfully enough people write the genre in brackets now so you can avoid them. (I'd argue Nanoloop and LSDJ have also become genres)
No, I know what you mean. I went to 8bc last night and there were just a bunch of dubstep tracks. And they were not the best ilk. I didn't realize it had gotten out of hand. Yeah don't know why trackers would be a genre.

Re: Chiptune Dubstep (129 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Damn, you guys are cynical. I've heard some pretty diverse dubstep n the past few years. You do have to look for it tho. It's not all wubwubwubwub. Anyhow I like that ??? Guy. Someone posted a good one here a while ago too...Anyone like ikonica? She's does some good fake bit, some not so good.
