Does that mean they are not useful/hard to use?

This APC (look at me, I'm already using the lingo) looks awesome!  I'm totally making this.

Thanks a lot, man!  That does help.  I've researched circuit bending but haven't really tried it yet.  I think I may try it and will definitely pick up a multimeter and learn how to use it.

No, I haven't.  What are they most commonly used for?  Do they come in kits or have to be built from scratch?

How are things going?  Any new updates?

I'm totally into this, but I don't really know where to start.  I'm just getting into NES to add to my arsenal.  I'm no programmer and I am a pretty big newbie when it comes to arduino stuff.  From what I understand, this can be used for many things including accessing the NES chip, using a tracker, faster even than the much coveted MIDINES.  I don't mean to dumb down the thread, but is a plausible for a newbie like myself to learn this to create and record NES style music?  I really want to do it the legit way and use the NES chip.

I, personally, use Pro Tools for recording and mixing.  It's not free, but it's probably the best out there.  It comes stock with EQ plug ins that give you a visual representation of how you are affecting the frequency response.  There are better plugs, but these work.

Once you find a way to EQ, I'm thinking, most likely, you're getting a buildup in the low-mid frequencies which are the "boxy" sounding frequencies around 400-600Hz.  Rather than EQ the whole track, EQ each track individually, taking 4-6 decibels out of this frequency range on each.  Since most instruments fall into this frequency range, there can be a big buildup of these and it can make the mix sound muffled and boxy.  If you do this and it still sounds too bassy, subtract some 60-80Hz.  If you are going to EQ your master track, this is usually done after the fact and you usually will boost the low and high end by a tiny bit.  You may also try subtracting a tiny bit of 1kHz from the piano track and adding a tiny bit of 1kHz to the bass track to give the piano a little less "honky" sound and gives the bass a little more presence.  I know this is nearly a month later, but hopefully this will help at least in the future.
