It might be easier to just get the rom and run it in an emulator. But if you are into hardware:

Buy the LSDJ Rom:

Buy a cartridge:

Izotope are currently doing a series of interesting mixing articles on their blog:

Yea good multiband comps and eqs can be quite helpful, and you wont quadruple the gameboy noise floor too!

Now that Flash is getting actively blocked, it would be great to have an html5 player.

post a clip, to see what type of noise we are talking about. Whats your recording device?

There isnt much more you can compress a sound that has 4bit volume big_smile

I disagree, you can mix just fine on a good song on the stereo recording.

recording the channels separately comes in handy if you want to add effects to the individual instruments. It will however increase the noise, mess with your track timing, and possibly create phase issues. Id recommend:

Recording the best possible stereo track, Sound design in the gameboy helps alot.
Multi track stuff you want to put effects on, but minimize this if you can to avoid noise problems.
When not using the solo'd channel, mute it, maybe just use it with the stereo track mixed 100% wet to reinforce your dmg sounds.

I dont really run any noise reduction, but ill do vol automation on the silent parts where you can hear noise. Another fun thing to do is sequence additional low end version of your gameboy sounds and mix them low in the mix to make it really pop on big systems.

try reducing the delay settings using the maxpat editor that comes in the zip. You will need to instal the max runtime to use it.

almost everything in the cd can be found here:

I think most musical gear has a problem with rotary encoders because they are more expensive, have a higher failure rate, and aren't as tactily pleasurable as a real pot. You can google about dave smith rotary encoders to read loads of complaints about people having trouble with them.
