I think, for me, it's reached a point where music and it's implications become unquantifiable. I'll continue to do what I do because I love to do it, and the influences I may have on my surroundings inevitably will, or will not, alter my environment.

By catharsis I was referring to an outpouring of emotion. Like a Shakespearean play that undergoes a final act of expressing massive emotion (ex: hearing your favourite song at a concert of your favourite band). I would definitely call punk art, and a strong one at that. It's an expression by the composers, and in most cases in punk it becomes a very strong argument against socio-political factors. This, to me, makes it art. I do see where you are going, and I applaud you for having your own opinion; music can mean so many different things to so many different people. It's great.

This conversation has moved from electronic limitations to analog limitation, then to what defines music that people like, only to move slowly to a discussion on the necessity of 1Bit music.
Now I can't help but pick out one sentence from your previous post, Melkor:

Melkor wrote:

this is a minor aside but I personally don't consider music as belonging to art.

I strongly disagree.
By definition, art is created to showcase the creative and expressive skill of the artISTS. Those who produce works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. While this obviously relates to visual arts, I believe calling music an art is EXACTLY how we should describe it; works of time created by a composer to convey expressivity through several emotional (therefore musical) catharses.
Would you call music non-expressive? This seems foolish to me. I believe people who view music in this light aren't musicians, only arrangers of sounds, yes there is a difference here. Musicians relate to the arts, and are expressive, arrangers of sound take ontological snippets of time and arrange them to be translated into psychological time purposes.
I agree that discussion is integral, and here I may just be the Schoenberg to your Stravinsky.

No, I mean Canada. I don't see any Canadian dates, do you?

I don't like this whole 'limitations' sentiment.
Each instrument is unique, and they all have limitation. What's the point in arguing over whether or not that's a good or bad thing? What happens if it's bad?: Music sucks, playing instruments suck, there isn't one that is limitless, therefore I hate everything.
Limitations allow each instrument to become specialized.
Also, so what if limitations are good?: I play the classical guitar because I love the unique timbre, not because I'm limited to playing softer contrapuntal/expressive scores.

Make tunez, love what you're doing.

Sorry for bumping an old ass thread, but this seemed the most appropriate place to ask for help without starting a new thread.
I'm running lsdj 4.0.4, and followed these tutorial instructions exactly. After loading any kit, using lsdpatcher, from lsdsng and clicking compile, I run the rom and the kits are there, though they don't make any sounds.

Are you able to add kits like these without having the original sound files? I assumed they'd be stored in the .kit?

I didn't mind figuring out how to upload a song,, seeing as how they give you instructions on how to extract the sng file.
The only thing that bothers me is the lack of instructions on how to use the kits that get uploaded.
Is it using the same lsdjmanager program?

Edit: scratch that, I found the program after going to the kit upload screen.

I'm able to access the kit now, having uploaded a tune.
Now i just have to figure out how to integrate the .kit into lsdj. Any pointers?
I'm new to the compressed lsdjsng type.

Sure, this thread needs more direction, but it's comments like those that aren't progressive. Want people to learn? Don't make fun of them.

Screens!
I got two;)
