Another thing to remember is that radical changes in TSP are more likely to screw up.

I've used quick R commands followed by a K or a brand new table to get some good Noise bursts. I use a lot of table switches inside tables. If I want to switch back to the original note of something ill just put a table switch at 03, 06 etc and go from there.

You'll be able to get good Noise sounds from a gameboy without much more fuss, don't worry. In my experience an emulator tends to produce louder more industrial style sounds while a gameboy has more well rounded noise.

Once I switched to a gameboy I never went back, never even thought to go back and it's been three years. Sure an emulator definitely sounds different, but you really get the full potential of LSDJ from an actual gameboy. Trust me you're expectations of what its like to write using the gameboy will be fully realized. You'll be clumsy at first using the buttons though since you're used to the keyboard. You can be sure of that haha.

SketchMan3, you're going to find your Noise channel sounds WAY different on an actual gameboy. To make up for it though you'll have way more possibilities with the Wav channel. WAY more.

And like I said...if you're patient when working with your Noise channel you can get things that sound just like using complicated tables with much fewer commands.

Use R commands in your noise table if you don't already (I forget if it only works in certain LSDJ versions...someone can correct me).
You can get stuff that ranges from really crisp to really weird without having to spam S and TSP commands.

I searched and all I got what a really shitty youtube video that was zero funny.

I want it to be a full length production of ridiculousness like Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead

Yeah. Five S commands is going to be too much.

Mess around more. Many times you can get the same sound from just one or two S/TSP commands that you can from 10 of them.

Switching tables inside a table helps.

Be careful with your Noise channel.

Any more than like 2 TSP commands and you'll most likely get dropped notes unless you've gotten lucky with property combinations or you just really know what you're doing.

I've also noticed slowdown sometimes when both pulse channels are playing the exact same note and waveform, but not often.

I agree with ant1. The other thing to keep in mind is a lot of people in this community are pretty damn close. The chances of someone you've seen around the forums ripping you off is real slim. Usually when you see a price...it's completely reasonable.

And lets be honest here. Most if not all of the work these guys do is completely beyond the skills of their buyers and you're going to have to pay for all the work that went into these seriously one of a kind items.

I haven't seen a quick simple sprite on here in a while. I sat down and just worked as fast as I could without touching anything up really and ended up with this. It was fun and liberating.

We get the joke. Your avatar is a hedgehog. You can stop now.

Though I agree with you...the problem is people posting CC threads are usually new and it'll be a cold day in hell before new people read a post like this beforehand.

Yeah dude no worries I think your Leo looks great! It's just something to keep in mind as you progress. It's a technique that gave me a lot of inspiration when I first started.

Something I really liked once I started experimenting is using different patterns for dithering instead of the typical 1x1 pixel checkerboard technique. It's really a huge and easy way to bring a lot of personality into your pixel art. You can see it in the head of ui's little bird up there.

Edit: By dithering I mean that checkered pattern you have on Leo's nose for shading. I know I had no freaking idea what the term dithering meant when I first started haha...just making sure yagotme.
