Try it with the stock code, for starters. The code is known to work, so you may as well eliminate any possible issues with your modifications first.

After that, make sure everything is on the same MIDI channel.

Don't know your gender, but Mills is a women's only undergraduate school. Great place to study electronic music. Not so sure about their audio engineering.

I've heard good things about Oberlin, but don't have much for specifics. Don't know anything about GT.

Berklee won't offer you much in terms of traditional music. Which might be fine, but to me it's like making LSDJ music without ever having played a game boy game.

Shamless plug; I work at California State University, East Bay in Hayward, CA. Our programs for electronic music, production and other interesting things are on the rise right now. We're rebuilding our recording facilities as we speak (just got home from soldering patchbays today). I've actually been teaching after hours LSDJ lessons to one of our composition students. smile

It's a great opportunity to be in a place with great faculty and not be a small fish in a big pond. Also, we're pretty well connected (and local) to Mills, so your likelihood of getting into the graduate program there might be helped!

Yeah man, use this with an arduinoboy to have perfectly synced loops with LSDJ. Or use LSDJ midi out to control the looper and automate all of its actions.

It even has a midi out which I'm assuming can function as a midi thru, so you can still sync with your other gameboy.

You can always use RCA-> 1/4" adapters on the Alesis, and the USB recording would be helpful.
However, the Soundcraft might be a better sounding mixer.

What it really comes down to for you, I think, is that the Soundcraft has four stereo channels, which you will find more useful than having four mic preamps.

You could always use the extra money to buy a recording interface later.

I don't really know what a firewire is and what USB mixer does. Does it make recording to a PC easier?

Yes. Either one handles your analog to digital conversion, usually at a higher quality than the computer can on its own.

And why would you want mono channels on a mixer? Sorry for dumb questions smile

Typically, the mono channels on a mixer are those with mic preamps. Increasingly, they have an input designed to have a guitar level instrument (a guitar, a bass guitar, a contact mic) plugged in.

All I want to have is a channel for my PC, and channel for Gameboy/any other inputs and the output will go to an amp and then to the sub/speakers.

Get something with at least two stereo channels. It will probably have at least one or two mono channels on it also, which you can ignore until the inevitable day you will be glad you have them. smile

I have used Behringer mixers before and just like you I wasn't impressed with them either. Thank you very much for the links, that gave me some good ideas and I found a couple of good items on ebay.

Fantastic! No problem.

200 is ridiculous, but the chap trying to sell it doesn't know that.

In nitro's breakdown, he lists $90 for a modded gameboy from nonfinite (their current price). I think that covers labor.

Your question is a little confusing.

Your subject says "digital mixer" - most digital mixers are pretty big, minimum 16 channels. I might think you're talking about digital effects, if you didn't already say you don't want them. Maybe you're talking about a mixer/interface like Alesis' analog mixers with multi-channel firewire and USB outs?

You say you want a "two channel mixer", but I'm assuming you mean two stereo channels. Stereo channels as a default are unique to DJ mixers such as your vestax - most small format mixers have 1 to 4 mono channels with mic preamps, then 2-4 stereo line channels, which are what you'd want to use with your laptop.

Finally I'm assuming that by "using the other channels for recording" you mean that you want to use them as extra inputs. Unless you get one of the aforementioned multichannel interface mixers with a firewire or USB port on it, that won't let you record multiple things onto separate digital channels at once, but you can record multiple things to a mix through whatever input you're using already. This will get confusing quick if I keep talking like this.

Here's actual answers to your questions; lots of chip people use Behringer stuff. I can't stand it and avoid it like the plague. I have yet to hear anything made by them that doesn't sound obnoxious and brittle to my ears. Maybe that works for chip people in general, but if you want to use the mic preamps for anything, you'll regret it. Avoid Behringer.

Here's some neat, cheap stuff. Not sure how the pricing or availability will change in the uk.

Each of these models has bigger and bigger versions, but they're all brands that I've had decent experiences with.

You should be able to salvage the backlight itself for re-use in another gameboy with little trouble.

I do this in The Glowing Stars.
Arduinoboy mini with MGB into a Roland AX-1. I usually have the AX-1 set to output on two MIDI channels at once, and set the two PU channels an octave apart with different duty cycles, and it sounds pretty fat.

MGBs assignability of parameters for live use is pretty limited though, so you'll want to do vibrato by tapping the pitch ribbon. It's pretty expressive once you get used to it. The mod lever will only control duty cycle, and it's almost impossible to get anything other than full on or full off.

Eh? :3

I built the arduino bit for this awhile back, I'm still excited to put it to use! Just need the code! smile
