to let that much traffic and than many members just disappear is terrible from a business perspective

so say nothing about nostalgia and good memories ;(

That's always confused me about how the site was managed.  I've been wondering for awhile if Jose doesn't care about it, why not either put ads on it or sell it to someone.  Does not make sense.

Isn't it just under construction?  Or was the plug really pulled?

let all just sit in a big circle, crying, and talk about our feelings in lieu of Blipfest.


There is only one kind of circle i'll sit with you guys in.

It's a drum circle, right?

I wish Blip 2012 was held in Northern Alabama.

Nashville would be cool too.

Thanks SurfaceDragon. Hope you got something out of it.

Will you be writing more columns about the Wave and Synth screens within LSDJ?

Yes, I'll be revisiting those topics many times.

SurfaceDragon wrote:

And does the quote below mean that someone like myself can write a column for LSDJ and You?

Yep. Though I'd like to maintain editorial control, just to make sure the quality is there each week.

And your column has inspired me to start writing "Nerdrix and You" and "Onputer and You"(these are working titles that I can change if you don't want me copying you

Lol.  I'm pretty sure I stole the name from some where else.  Use it all you want. tongue

I posted this in the tutorials section but more people may see it here.

My second LSDJ article is up at NoiChan.  This one is an intro to hand-drawn waveforms.   Check it out if you're interested:

Seriously though, I'll consider making a mess out of "Underground"

This release is uber stellar.  Dennye popped up on 8bc ages ago and disappeared almost immediately, but I've been listening to that song for months.  So glad to hear it leading off a fantastic release.

The textures and sounds are superb.

a column demystifying the Synth screen parameters would be super valuable if anyone can provide one.  i'd like to think i know enough about synthesis  to understand what each param does, but working the values and getting predictable results can still be a damn frustrating piece of alchemy.

I already have several columns on the wave channel planned, but Danimal Cannon did some nice in-depth work on the very parameters you're talking about in the thread ashinsmoke mentioned http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/5954/ … e-channel/

Though I might turn that thread into a compact column.

Cool stuff, I'll definitely check out the next instalment.

Also, I noticed a small typo "Notice that the echoed note corresponds to note the note it immediately follows but the one before that."

I assume that's supposed to be "not to".

Waaah.  I am embarrass.  Fixed.

id like to contribute to a column on tables if you plan on doing one, but thatd be fairly lengthy. i know a few things about tables that would be really beneficial to intermediate users though tongue

That would be totally cool.  My goal is to be very specific with each column (I'll almost certainly to other columns on echoes in the future, in fact), so there won't be a column on tables as a whole, but many columns talking about different functions for tables.  I want to really dig into each idea and present different applications for each one, so if you have some specific table techniques you think would make a good article, shoot me a PM. 

I should note, I'm a technical writer, so I would like to do the actual *writing* of the article, but I'd happily present them as your ideas.  (Maybe even a cheesy, "Okay kids, this week's tip comes to us from...")

I can teach you how to make custom graphics patches for LSDJ if you want.

Then you can use the knowledge for your weekly column.

What do you think?

That's a GREAT example of a good, specific topic for a column!  I'm down.

Also, if anyone has a topic they would like to see covered, let me know.

Or, if you have a tip/trick you think is column material, let me know too.  I'll do the same level of detailed write-up, but I'll give you mad props and a link-back if desired.
