i'd prefer to don't buy rack units. Even if that's the holy grail, i just need something cheap to plug my gameboys in, lol.

at the moment the two option i've seen are these:
SAMSON C-COM OPTI (100€ used)

ALESIS SMASHUP (80€ new)

any other advice?

I bought a month ago a drummachine and i'm having a lot of fun playing it with my gameboys.
I've prepared a bumping liveset but i totally need a compressor.
Any nice advice? i'd like to spend under 100€ for a second-hand machine.
It HAS to be portable, so no rack units, please.

plus: any website where i could find cheap rca and jack cables for cheap in europe?

mmh.. it really depends.. i usually spend only half an hour in a day on a single song.. and in a week i usually complete it.

mmh. i totally had no problem with mixing the tracks. For these recordings i've used a little 5channel behringer mixer with no EQ, no effects/outboard, and no post-precessing. ..and they sound ok, i guess.
I had maybe some problems with the internal ESX limiter.. it compress anything if i make some little mistakes with the internal volume gain mixer.
The included effects suck so much, i'm just using a little EQ on the samples. ..and for some more complex stuff i'm using 2 mini kaoss pad (one on the gameboy line and one on the esx one).
At the moment i'm not using any sync device, with this slow 130bpm stuff i don't need them.
Btw i'd use this electribe only for my livesets. For some more serious recordings i'd use renoise or some other pc software.

..and i'm using an old "smart-media" version since is impossible to find an SD-version on the second-hand market.
There are any differences??

Thank you all fothe feedback!
Here in Italy everyone is trying to become "big" with this electrohouse trend and i'm kinda surfing the wave to gain some ca$h 'n bitches, lol.
No seriously, i love electrohouse and im really having a lot of fun making it with this new toy. smile

k. I've bought an electribe ESX-1 (the red one) some weeks ago.
I just use it as drummachine and it is really a lot of fun for live shows.

So here my firsts songs.
I'd like to know if they sounds ok.  (the mixinig, the sound sound different palette "compatibility", the feelings in general..)

I wav edit and mix with Adobe Audition. In past it was known as "cool edit pro"
It looks like cubase but is faster and easier (so it's ok on my shitty pc).

Hi guys.

I'm just wondering if i could sync an half-clock-gameboy with another midi device.
There could be some problems with bpm changes/differences?

So more volume to cover the hum/hiss better?
I wonder if this would help in a live setting. We used NDS and DMG for songs, but the DMG is very noisy.
Maybe we should attempt this.

The sound is really different, but I cannot say if it is better or worse. You should judge by yourself.

i think that prosound on NDS is really not needed.

I've made a test using lsdj (GB) + lgpt (PSP) and the result is kinda good.

Yeah, but i'm pretty happy for this first result. I should totally invest my money on a gp2x and some sync-box. (any suggestion about this?)

Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread!!

i already have a 128MB smart media card from an old camera, so i shouldn't buy it.. (i've seen that they're really expensive!!)

btw it is the cheapest ESX-1 i could find here in europe.. al the other ones was around 450/550€... hmm

any advice about the sync?

i've just found an Electribe ESX-1 for 350€ and i'm buying it.
I would have prefered something more old-school, but i could always load old-school samples on it.. so it's ok. smile

Just a very simple question since i've never had this "problem":
i just need to clock/tempo sync the gameboy and the electribe. Is it possible? Should i build an Arduinoboy or something more cheap is fine too?
