I left my link cable in the club at BRKfest last weekend.  I found one at a retro gaming store today for two dollars and some change.  They said I was probably the only person to ever buy one from them, and they had more.  So check retro gaming stores in your area.

You have a retro gaming store? You lucky ducky! XD
My game store doesn't have anything older than gameboy advance

Yeah!  Well, I didn't know there was one until yesterday, haha, when I went looking for a link cable.  But they had a C64 and an Atari 1200, and now I'm trying to resist the urge to spend more money, haha.

Read the LSDJ manual over and over. Just go through it once a day- things will eventually fall into place.
Also, check out LSDJguides on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/user/LSDJguides

The manual is good.  Read it.

Lol, were you guys good boys so it can be all ages next yerr?

Actually, I think we're going to get a different venue entirely! One that supports all ages and offers something in the way of beverages for the older crowd.

I support all ages, but I gotta have mah beverages. 

Food is nice too, in the event that you have too many beverages.  That was nice about Al's.  Food.

I saw a hedgehog in the flesh the other day and I was somewhat startled

Did you catch it and encase it in clay?

No, they're hedgehogs.  I should learn more about nature.  <hangs head in shame>

I stared at that porcupine for way longer than I should have.  I think you're right.

it doesn't have to be as complicated as multi-tracking all the channels though (although that clearly gives you more options). you can get really big kick sound on a single stem recording just through a bit of frequency-specific compression and EQing. kick drum "thump" is around 40-90hz and the beater/snare is usually 2500hz range. find the sweet spots and a bit of a boost in those ranges with some compression over the top will pop it right out

This is all I do.  Multi-tracking LSDJ just doesn't appeal to me.  All my stuff is just one straight recording from the DMG.  I might not have the biggest kick, but I think it's ok for my tunes.

Make sure to lower the volume of your other channels.  I seldom have an instrument that goes above 7xx to emphasize the kick.

Also, you don't have to use a P command that drops the kick to the absolute lowest tone.  You can still have some nice punch and slightly better overall kick volume by easing up on that P command a bit.  I usually use something like PE0 with a K command on the 5th tick (pitched around G6).

But yeah, careful multi-band EQing can help.

Also, an almost-unnoticeable amount of reverb can help sometimes.

My Bleep Bloop II carts came with a song called  "Blue" on them.  It was pretty good and I learned a lot of stuff from it early on.

Bluesight.  I had it upped at 8bc, should reup it to CM now that it's down for good.

That song is awesome and the .sav taught me some cool tricks.

I wear glasses and don't have a problem.  Maybe you need poofier pads.

I wasn't even in the market for new headphones but all this geeking-out has made me want a new pair of cans.

Man, seriously, I was super impressed with every single set.





And the first night was in this kind of weird dive bar, and they had some boss fried pickles. big_smile

Yeah, that sounds about right.
