I'm not big on the Search function. It's a bit too broad and not very smart for what it is. I try to plug in certain quieries, and I just get thousands of results where a user has mentioned the seach term once in an unrelated topic.

And/or there should be a window that pops up when the cursor is over the "Post New Thread" button that says something like "Are you sure you aren't forgetting to use the amazingly useful SEARCH feature?"

Yeah, this is cool! I like the idea of silly and quirky text in programs and sites, instead of stiff and boring words that don't mean shit.

I said it on Facebook as well, but last time I saw Anamanaguchi I got kicked right in the face like two or three days after getting my septum pierced. I have very high expectations for the Los Angeles show.

Going out in true L.A. style.

I'm sorry, but center aligned text is a mad boner-kill.

I think this coudl turn out to be something really good! (despite being a Weebly site and all) Just make sure you keep up to date with things and try not to get too biased.

I'm starting to do a lot of chip stuff in FL Studio - resampling and sample manipulation are the fuckin' BOMB once you learn how to do it right.

I also use a lot of raw chip-sampled waveforms in my music. Like the bassline in this tune, which was originally a simple square wave and a wav-channel growl, resampled in Kontakt and run through a buttload of effects.

I'm getting kinda tired with working solely in LSDj or anything else - I'm a mad sample junkie, and prepping sampels to flash to a cart is too much effort for me :V (That said, once I get this Amiga shipped here I'll be right back on the chip wagon). Plus, the workflow used to be nice, but I'm kinda getting tired of trackers right now. Not even Renosie is doing it for me. I like the flexibility of a DAW, butstill love the sounds of chipmusic.

Also, from this thread:

Reason is a great set of tools when used in Rewire mode for those who don't mind running two separate software together

Reason is absolutely brilliant in what its synth units offer. The workflow is really fun for someone like me - wires and knobs out the fuckin' whazoo, and the amount of control you have over everything is really quite staggering.
That said, the sequencer is god-awful in my eyes, and by the time I make some really tasty synths I've got this crammed-up workspace. Rewiring it into FL Studio is an absolute dream come true.

I've never tried out doing any fancy fakebit things in there, but I might give that a go this arvo!

I'm a big lover of chip arrangements for orchestral music. It really flexes the composition skills of an artist. Stuff liek fluidvolt's 'Reflections of a Dancing Leaf' release.

I'll have to check this out later on. Sounds promising!

Yeah, mister Johan released the LSDj player, which just plays loaded lsdsng stuff. That's what the Derpcarts have loaded on them.
Just use that and you should be right.

I haven't touched LSDj in forever, but this looks a little outdated. That might affect your tunes, but it all depends on what tune it is.

Why not download a variety of different trials/versions of Ableton Live, Fruity Loops, Renoise, Piggy Tracker, FamiTracker, Milkytracker and the like?

This. Nothing will tell you what you like more than trying before buying.
