Recently, I've encountered a problem when using LSDJ on my DMG, with my 64M EMS USB cart. Every so often, the program will seem to freeze - it will still keep playing, but I can't move the cursor up or down or left or right. I can stop and start it, but it will stay stuck for a fair while.
And while it's stuck like this, pressing left/right changes the chain number up/down, respectively.
I haven't noticed this when using LSDJ on my SP - but then again, I haven't used my SP intensively enough to see if it doesn't occur. It doesn't seem to be a normal cart crash (from an overload of tables and whatever on the CPU), as it happens on fairly simple songs. I also deleted like 5 songs from my .sav so I only have around 10/12 songs or so.
Is this a problem with my hardware, or software? It really discourages me using LSDJ, as I never know when it will do this

Re: I have not finished a whole song this year 2010. (34 replies, posted in General Discussion)
So many times, I've gone back over a song in LSDJ that I might not have changed for months, and thought "Hmm... I could add a bit more colour to the drums here!" and ended up improving the song tenfold. I regularly just sit down and run through all my tracks to switch up sounds and stuff.
My setup almost constantly evolves too, which means I keep adding. For example, I wrote one song about a year ago now - LSDJ and stylophone, with a little crappy bent oscillator playing a solo part. Then I changed it to just LSDJ and stylophone, with a more structured and tuneful solo. Then I got my ST, and played the stylophone part with a MIDI keyboard and my ST. Then I got my VL-Tone, and replaced the ST with that. Now I have my Arduinoboy, so my ST plays another bass part and some horn parts - for want of a better description - while I play VL-Tone, and the solo is now an improvised blues solo on YMCK Player for my iTouch. At some point I majorly changed the drums too.
This track is now quite different to how it used to be, yet at all those stages it was "finished". Finished is objective, and there's nothing better you can do than going back to old "finished" stuff after a while -when you've learned more, and generally just taken a break from that song - and seeing what you can improve.
Theory, btw, is sort of needed. DEEP theory however, is not. Knowledge of a few scales and simple harmony and rhythm is all you really need.
If you want to - in your eyes - be a musician, I'd suggest learning bass. Pretty much anyone who can play bass (such as myself) can almost effortlessly play other instruments. Bass is a very fluid way of learning a lot of stuff.
Piano is also good for it's logical and clear layout, but I never learned anything playing it for like 7 years hahah.
Just keep on making music though. Keep improving, keep evolving, keep going! The worst you could do is stop

Depends on the voltage and the LEDs voltage drop. You place a resistor in series with the led to bring the voltage down. if you have the correct voltage for an led to begin with, You wouldn't need a resistor at all.
Actually no, it depends on the amount of current 
But that's just being somewhat pedantic in this situation, and of course you are actually right (mostly, apart from possibly the last part). I'm just stuck in the mindset of everything = 9v haha. Bad habits from electronics lessons

Funnily enough, I was just offered a multi-cart that includes Super Mario 4. Which has a Mario 64-style artwork thingy, so yeah.
If I do get it, I'll let you guys know about it ; D

It was absolutely insane at The Chip Sessions when Syphus got out his violin. Holy fuck that was a good performance haha.
Play some more gigs in town man! Preferrably not in bars so I don't have to pretend I'm like 5 years older than I am this time Bloody "Think 21" policy...
