Re: Spent 4 hrs on 8 bars. (12 replies, posted in General Discussion)
The trick to making slightly repetitive music stay interesting is the details.
Really, I think details are important for high quality chip. Some of the best tunes have simple melodies and structures, but these amazing little details. Sudden stutters. A quick instrument change on the repeated melody. Dropping the drums for a bar, etc.

Yo.
Pulse channel.
W commands
W50%
W25%
W-whatever narrow is
H command to hold on narrow pulse.
In Transpose column
1st step = FE
2nd step = FF
H command to hold on 3 step, no transpose.
That's my go-to trumpet-y patch.

Yessssssssss, I'll be there too.
It's my understanding that it is tradition that we empty the hostel vending machine of its beer the night before Square Sounds.

If you are staying where most people are (like Khaosan Ninja) , it shouldn't be a problem.
There are already a couple of us booked to stay at Khaosan Ninja. At the very least I am going to be staying there and so is Frans of Eindbaas fame. I think Shirobon mentioned looking into booking there too.

Re: Sampling LSDJ Drum Sounds (39 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I think its fine, especially if you happened to remaster the samples to have more OMPH or through high end outboard gears. Its not like johan took these samples from his own gear, im guessing they where a quick port from some hollow sun type sample pack.
Also: it would be awesome if someone remastered the LSDJ samples themselves IN Lsdj because they could totally sound better than they do.
All of this.
