Um. My bio.  Eh whatever.

You mean you didn't relax on a bright fall day?

Has anyone tried the MIDI-USB adaptor Oliver sells on the Nanoloop site?  I've read it might work with LSDJ, but I have not read that it does for certain.

Unless you have that shit MIDI synced it's gonna drift.  I actually programmed my song a few bpm too slow because it lined up better.

Fuck. That's too much work. I'll get one of those nanoloop carts with USB sync whatever and put LSDJ on it.

Thanks for the horrible truths! tongue

I'm not so sure... If Danimal was exporting from an emulator, like BGB, then I have noticed BPM drift, but I've recorded tracks (like on my disco.txt album) which were separate LSDJ recordings of the same game boy, and had them line up perfectly with no problem.

LSDJ on hardware seems pretty stable, is what I'm saying.

Emulated LSDJ is much dodgier, tempo-wise, from my experience.

[Edit] Or maybe I have one really stable DMG cpu, haha.  (It still doesn't stay in time with Sonar...Unless it's Sonar that isn't staying in time, which may indicate an audio driver issue...or something?)

This question could be re-phrased as "LSDJ doesn't sync with the BPM of my DAW, halp."

I'm not using a device to sync LSDJ with the computer--I was hoping just setting the tempo and lining things up with an initial count-in click would work, but the drift between the two BPMs is completely horrendous. Any tips?

Do I just need to get some sort of device (new nanoloop cart w/usb-midi) to sync LSDJ?

I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.

I have some projects I did in Sonar (drum machine, synth, guitar, vocals, etc. etc.)

I am trying to add LSDJ parts to these projects, but the BPM drifts pretty badly (Sonar gets slower than LSDJ, pretty quickly--after a few bars.) 

I exported all the tracks to .wav and loaded them into Reaper, and sure enough, the song gets out of sync in Reaper as well.

Has anyone encountered a problem like this?  I think LSDJ is very stable as far as BPM goes, so I assume it's an issue with Sonar, but I can't figure out what is causing it.

Any ideas?  Searching the net hasn't turned up anything useful (yet).

Seriously a super good time.

So, so many good sets.

Just a heads-up, the email for the bonus EP went to my junk email folder, so if anyone pre-ordered the physical CD and is wondering where the Old World Monkey EP is, check yer junk.

Didn't think I'd see another technical writer here! It's a pretty obscure job all in all. We're in very similar positions, too. I used to write a lot for fun, but writing all day at work kind of douses the flame, so I started using music to FULFILL MY MANLY NEEDS instead. Actually, sounds like your work is slightly more interesting than mine. I just write instructional stuff, which gets pretty dry after a while.

Anyway, tech writer five! *smack*

Tech writers unite!

But yeah, writing boring stuff all day definitely douses the flames of writing desire.  I get my creative kicks from music nowadays.  It's cool--nobody invites short story writers to rock out in clubs, haha.
