Re: LSDJ / MONOTRIBE / KAOSS PAD / ABLETON / GILMORE GIRLS (6 replies, posted in Releases)

thanks! no midi sync in this. the gameboy and the monotribe are synced via korg's weird sync thing, but no midi. ableton is only doing fx and the GG sample so there's nothing to sync there either.

stoked you guys dig it!

IIRC there is a startup doing this with outboard gear like compressors preamps and hardware reverb devices atm. I cant figure out the google for it though.

someone i know was insisting this idea already exists, maybe they were referring instead to what you're referring to? sounds like an awesome idea and a side i would definitely use a ton.

Submitted. The real-time aspect of it doesn't seem technically feasible without really long buffers, though.

yeah, some of the descriptions may be misleading. it isn't meant to be real time control. it's more like, you upload your midi file, it gets placed into a queue behind other people who have uploaded stuff, and then it plays your midi through the synth while recording it, then sends you a link to the wav file.

Topic: SURVEY re: SYNTHS (15 replies, posted in General Discussion)

hey all,

my friend hannah is conducting some market research for a class project. if anyone hear could take a minute to fill out her survey, that would be rad!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/177EViG … E/viewform

it's about a website idea where people could export midi clips from ableton / pro tools, upload them to a website, and receive high quality wav's in return of those midi sequences played back through a library of real hardware synthesizers on a cost-per-use basis. it would give the bedroom producer access to a large library of classic synths that they could otherwise never afford. a pretty great concept!

anyways, yeah, thanks for checking it out!

Re: New user of USBBoy and mGB, few questions/issues (30 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

i found that when the notes touch each other in whatever daw you're using, that you'll have more dropped notes than if you add a tiny bit of space between them.

the problem comes from the computer sending a midi note off message and then INSTANTLY sending a midi note on message. drag the first note back by like a 128th note so the two things don't happen simultaneously, know what i mean? that helped me a lot.

Re: How do you all go about booking tours and shows? (12 replies, posted in General Discussion)

Ways you can 'crack the scene"
- Put on local shows.
- When people come to your town, come to them as a fan, and make a connection
- Once a relationship is formed with people, put out feelers about playing a show.

this is exactly what i did. you don't necessarily need to be a show promoter in order to be a successful touring act but this general rule works : help other people out and other people will help you out.

But it leaves me wondering how other people go about, say, trying to book a two week tour or whatever when you're not already well-known?

you need to look at it from the show promoter's perspective. why would anyone book you if no one's ever heard of you and no one in the town you're contacting will come to your show? putting on shows is a big financial risk sometimes and let's say someone booked me in st. louis, then i can guarantee that no one would come to the show because i was on the bill. then the promoter has booked an unsuccessful show and either loses money personally or loses money for the venue / bar he's working for.

but if i contacted people in a town where i had a bunch of friends, let's say philadelphia or nyc, then the promoter's could assume that some people might come to the show just because i was playing it (not a lot of people but a few!). then i could potentially be an element of a successful show (along with the other bands / vjs / whatever ).

anyways, yeah, think about it from the promoter's perspective. come up with reasons why booking you would be good for them.
