even if you put LSDJ on a gba cart it would still sound like shit. I tried it with my EZ flash IV cart and it sounded awful.

I am bored of the whole Optimus Chad thing and I want to lend my golden pipes to a release where I do vocals over other people's songs. Sounds strange but I need a new perspective.

Just ordered Nanoloop 1.6 on Saturday and I haven't gotten a email about it shipping yet which I thought was kind of stranger and I am curious if any of you have ordered from Nanoloop.com and how long it took to get a e-mail about it shipping? I emailed Oliver and haven't heard anything.

Show some respect. This is the guy who essentially invented Gameboy backlighting in 2005 using kitchen aluminum foil and plastic from a CD case. Before we all got used to using premade backlight panels.

My "meh" wasn't directed at the price. You have a right to charge as much as the fishes are going to bite for and it's nobody's business but yours. My meh was at the machine itself. The demo seems to indicate you randomly click stuff, hoping something will happen, then sweep the knob for added effect. Very little use of the actual pad, with is the entire point of such a device. And the sounds you get from it are just generic glitchery with very little musical purpose. That said however, it's still your business to sell whatever you want at whatever price you want, but if you post it on a public forum, you need to learn to take replies like a man and not just respond with bad attitude.


" but if you post it on a public forum, you need to learn to take replies like a man"  HAHAHAAH are you serious? Since when has a forum required BEING A MAN. It is the internet and no one has to do anything. How about if you have nothing nice or intelligent to say you don't say anything at all. I think this is my favorite quote of all time.....take replies like a man...what the hell hahaha this made my day.

um, I wasn't talking about this compilation. (i was actually on the first one he put out)


yup I know that I have the first one on my ipod which made me want to get in touch with Brandon to be on this edition. I just don't agree with you about the thicker skin and I won't. We make music on video game systems...We aren't up for grammys. If someone thinks I suck I could really careless and if someone likes me I love it. If someone out there gets upset that someone doesn't like their music they will never get better and are immature. I am not looking for a pissing contest here I just don't see why we all have to put our serious pants on to make art and express ourselves.

I say we should call the next comp "Chipmusic Equals Serious Business" and it'll just have a black cover with off-white white helvetica lettering; proper kerning of course. We would advertise it using tastefully printed off-white placards that we hand out in person only to fellow aesthetes that have passed our rigorous taste-litmus.


All  patrons must own at least one monocle.

I do think this scene does need to get a bit of a "thicker skin" as it were, it's ok to dislike something and people really need to stop taking that personally.  If we don't have an opinion it will stagnate, just like every music scene does.

there's a difference between being constructive and just being a dick to be a dick which is how I take it when someone says you need a "thicker skin". It is ok to not like something but just to shit on it doesn't help anyone. I like my chipmusic heavy and aggressive so for me to sit there and tear someone down who is making more dance style music when I wouldn't like it to begin with.

I could sit here and argue for days about how strange it is that the "maturity" of a presentation or how someone uses caps lock or lots exclamation points could really shy away a potential listener. However I won't because to me that sounds like someone who is just looking for things to nit pick and maybe you just shouldn't listen to it if your interests could be that shallow. Also the whole "thicker skin" thing really bugs me. Why should a artist and fan friendly genre alike be "thicker skinned" just for the sake of someone who wants to be a dick just to be one? I have been in many music scenes and entertainment scenes in general and I love chipmusic because there is no agenda and most people do not have a ego. Also I don't consider myself a major name or a top draw if you will and I hope I never do but if someone asks me to listen to a song and I think it is shit I tell them and no one yet has cried or got bent out of shape they just simply worked on it more. I remember when i first started and I was all proud over my first handful of songs and submitted them to people I barely knew and got shot down. It sucked but it made me better and work harder. I learned more from the person who explained why my music wasn't so hot than from a person who was just being a dick.

To make a long story short we use gameboys and various other video game hardware to make music so consider the source when looking for maturity in a scene. Also Brandon has worked really hard and given many people the exposure they might not have gotten. I THINK BRANDON IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!! AND I THINK IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE ON IT WITH SO MANY TALENTED ARTISTS!!!!!!! and yeah I fucking love this scene.

Hah I use a presonus mixer that lets me control the gain and that's about it. I love the grit of the DMG and GBC. But you should look into the pissbox from Datathrash and kitsch

Nah, not really. It needs to be plug in cartridge, press play. You could just send a cartridge with LSDj and your song on it, but then people could just delete the song. Not the same thing, you know.

plug in cartridge, press start...

changing songs, well that's not as intuitive.

I am not really quite sure why anyone would want to do make an album that plays only on a cart but Dan has the right idea with releasing the sav. I think it would be too expensive and not everyone would want a 30+ album

and here I was thinking my only options were Mario Paint. I actually bought a portable SNES so I could play any mario paint songs I made for like a interlude type deal.
