Re: M command table - popping in right channel? (13 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

What channel are you doing your kick in, the WAV? I'm just finding out that some times if you use a couple of E commands (in the WAV that is) you can negate excess noise and clicking. I'm probably not explaining this very well, but I'll try to when I'm not typing all of this on my phone.

It is a WAV kick. However, I have tried placing the table in other channels with the same result--a pop in the right (and center) channel. Left channel is unaffected. This occurs on both emulator and hardware, and I suspect it is just something I have to work around/hide.

I am curious as to why it does this, though.

This happens with panning in tables too, I think it has something to do with the sudden change in volume. I too would like to know the reason for this

Well, I am accustomed to panning clicks and envelope clicks, haha. All part of the joys of DMG music production.

Mostly I'm wondering why the left stereo channel seems unaffected by the pops my M commands produce. It's just...odd.

Topic: M command table - popping in right channel? (13 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

I'm not normally a sidechain kind of guy, but I am working on a song and thought the effect might suit it. I added some M commands to my kick table.

Basically,

M22
M33
M55
M77

H04

It sounds pretty decent, but there is a click/pop sound noticeable in the right stereo channel. Both on emulator (BGB) and DMG. The pop may be present in the center channel but masked by the kick.

I've tried different variations of M commands and the pop is still present. It's not a *huge* deal--I can probably hide it with some noise channel work, but i was curious if anyone else has run across this. It's odd that the pop does not occur in the left channel.

(I have tried on recent LSDJ versions and 3.9.)

Any ideas?

You don't *have* to fill all 8 channels! That 2nd DMG can be very effective adding chorus effects or super stereo echoes to your leads. Or 2 channel stereo arps or something. Try writing a 1xlsdj song and then using the 2nd DMG to just fill the sound out.

[edit] sorry for the double post.

Re: 2xLSDJ (42 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

I usually write the frame of the whole song on 1xlsdj, so I have the song structure and all the parts basically done. then I copy/past the whole thing below and start writing the second lsdj's parts one channel at a time in the copy/paste section. That way when I'm writing the 2nd lsdj's pulse parts, for instance, I can still hear my main bass line or whatever.

I like working with one lsdsng/sav for as long as possible. Eventually the two parts become independent of each other and require two separate .savs, but by then the song is pretty close to finished.

Re: increasing lsdj "efficiency" (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

Yeah, I use two S commands on my usual snare and if things get too complex it misfires sometimes. I've slimmed down to one S commands in crazier sections.

Re: increasing lsdj "efficiency" (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

This happens to me every now and then. All you can really do is reduce the complexity by either making the tables you're using simpler or by playing less channels during the part with slowdown (for instance, this song: http://roboctopus.bandcamp.com/track/th … -the-world has a SUPER sample heavy bridge and the DMG chugs badly through it, and that's with pretty minimal/simplistic pulse work).

My advice is to just look at what's going on during the slowdown and simplify things. Or don't use all the channels during that part.

Yeah.
