Or better yet, listen to it on all kinds of different speakers, so you get an idea of what it could sound like on different audio systems.
This is a really good point. I don't have fancy studio monitors, so when I'm working on an EP I listen to the songs on as many speakers as I can. Computer speakers, in the car, ipod dock, big component stereo system, earbuds, over-the-ear headphones, etc. Getting an idea of how your mix sounds on lots of different speakers is helpful.
I know a lot of this has been said, but I record everything straight from the DMG. I then use a 32-band EQ to highlight specific frequencies (dependent on the song) and use a notch filter to get rid of the DMG high-freq hum. Then I add some *very* light stereo reverb you can barely notice (super light reverb makes the kick drum pop a bit more, imho).
The only other thing I do is use the TLs Maximizer plugin to boost and even out the volume.
I try really, really hard to get everything really even and smooth in LSDJ before I record it.
Should we plan some meet-ups?
My plans include visiting some Lexington record stores.

Dido, can't wait to see who will make the trip.
...roboctopus you have yet performed live/ never been to any chip events?
I haven't performed live or been to any chip events! I mean, I live in Alabama...

Less than 2 weeks away!!!
I.
Am.
Excite.
If your brother is a beginner, FamiTracker.
Just embrace the noise and call it "character". That's what I do, and I sample piano and guitar chords on several tracks. Just let it be grungy.
Other than embracing the noise, try EQing the sample in various ways before loading it in. I find cutting some of the lows and highs to help a bit. Then when you master the track, play around with EQing. I use a 32 band EQ and find I can cut down on the noise a bit that way as well. The longer a sample is, though, the more apparent the noise is, and sometimes there is just no getting around it.
That sounds kinda fun. There should be a whole series of arranged VS EPs. Like four songs (2 by each). Like get a pool of cool people, pair them up, and release one a month or so. That would be cool.
@chipnchap - Are you talking about "In Space No One Can Hear You Disco"?!?
I have a tutorial devoted to LSDJ PWM if you want something more in-depth: http://www.noisechannel.org/posts/4691
You should be able to play with the synth settings and that patch to get the sound you're after.
Set up the PWM patch, set the synth to play "once" and alter the speed/length to vary the PWM.
If you want to have the volume decrease as the PWM narrows you can use either E commands in the phrase or alter the amplitude of the PWM in the wave screen, lowering it by degrees frame-by-frame.
I made enough to buy an 11-inch tall stuffed Totoro from China and I glued boobs on it and now I tell people its my sister but its not really my sister but since I bought it with money from chip I'm proud of it you know?
Finally got around to listening to this today. I'm thoroughly impressed! This is a great release! Stellar stuff.
Really solid release! Kappa no Kawa Nagare and Aller a la Discotheque are my faves.
Man oh man! That really illustrates how awesome the linup is. Can't wait to see both nights!
Also, I have to stay relatively sober a long time, haha.

WAV is a journey one must take alone. One must meditate on WAV.
As Paul Gauguin asked, "Where does WAV come from? What is WAV? Where is WAV going?"
