the sound on the color is a bit thin for live stuff if you are running directly to the mixer (just my opinion), but I have had really good results by putting some compression/reverb and EQ-ing to cut down on the treble. if you have a noise gate, the hiss is DESTROYED. GBCs can sound awesome!! plus, those cheap worm lights are like 2 dollars and are super bright ;D

sorry if this is kind of a derail, im guessing animalstyle knows most of this, haha

i had talked to nex a while back about this exact problem (DMG processing limits)  when he was experimenting with switching DMG chips with ones from a supergameboy. from what i recall, he said there wasn't much that could be done, but i think he or bibin are probably the guys to talk to about it

if you need the DMG sound, a simple alternative might be to just split up the track onto 2 carts and link port 2 DMGs?




*good point kenobit, the SP sounds fine imho

I have to say I really respect RG's WI pride. Every thread he's all "WI has BEST FUCKING ________ IN THE WORLD" (touring/beer/scene/etc.) You don't see that very often.

RESPEC.

Holy fucking reverb on the after show clip. The sound was pretty damn awesome.

YO thanks! That was all Carl P. aka Oxygenstar on the mixing board. Actually, in addition to the "live sound" which had reverb added, the FOX sound people took a DI from the board and apparently re-reverbed THAT, so yeah... LOTTA  reverb, haha! I think it worked well for the song though ;D

Also, i like how everyone thinks were german and yet we run BOSTON8BIT ??? you crazy kids



**oh oh, i totally just figured out that random car stereo / laptop picture on that whack-ass "chiptune" article:  auto mechanics can "tune" the performance "chip" in a car to maximize efficiency or speed, etc. So, yeah... google image search + person ignorant of the subject matter they are talking about = FTL (i especially like the fact that she is making ad cash off the site, so her trolling us is getting her some change. waaah)

good times on the internet.

I kind of want to move to your city now. There were more people at this show (on a Tuesday) than like, the last 2 or 3 NYC shows I've been to combined.

See Also: Really good beer. Lots of it.
See Also: Girls that actually go to chip shows.

How much of this, if any, was a hallucination derived from my 50+ hours of sleep deprivation?

Well, here was a photo I took after our set at like 1am:


And not to brag or anything... but this wasn't a big show for us (boston8bit) at all ;D

After a brief tour of the elite nerd music circuit, with shows at Mass
Art, Pulsewave in NYC, and the world famous PAX: Penny Arcade Expo, Boston 8-Bit is BACK in Boston for a 9th iteration of its geeky, dancey, chiptune music concert series for the masses, this time at Wonder Bar in Allston MA. Expect mind-bending light shows rampant glow-sticks, space helmets and stage-diving from computer science majors; but above all, expect to party like it 2999 to the retro-future sounds of the top acts in video game dance music.
