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.

This is really good.

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?
wait, so, these aren't hedgehogs?
No, they're hedgehogs. I should learn more about nature. <hangs head in shame>
Not everyone Is going like the answer to becoming a musician is to pay in blood
You have to kill lots of level one Music Mice in a cave before you can go fight the Bass Drop Boss.
Sometimes I wonder if Nuclace is trying to brainwash us.
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.

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.
Darn you non-glasses wearers... I can't use actual headphones since they all cause headaches with glasses frames being mashed into the side of my head. Skullcandy, wooooooo! :')
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.
now I wish I hadn't missed this..
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.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
