Don't know your gender, but Mills is a women's only undergraduate school. Great place to study electronic music. Not so sure about their audio engineering.

LOL! Thanks for that, I  wasn't sure about the cross between the grad and undergrad programs there.  I'm a dude. wink

I've heard good things about Oberlin, but don't have much for specifics.

It really looks nice, but I'd rather chill somewhere other than Ohio. smile

Don't know anything about GT.

Their electronic program is a graduate one, so if I did opt to go there I'd spend my undergrad years studying electronics which I'm not too keen on. hmm

Berklee won't offer you much in terms of traditional music. Which might be fine, but to me it's like making LSDJ music without ever having played a game boy game.

I get what you are saying.  I wouldn't be as worried about this however (I've taken and passed AP Theory) but that is certainly something to keep in mind.  I would always love more theory education!

Thanks for that info!  I'll be sure to give it a look.  I'd love to be in California! big_smile  I guess I should also mention that location is important.

I'm entering into my junior year of high school this year and consequently I need to start thinking about colleges and start filling out applications.  So what I'm wondering is what are some of the best colleges to study electronics, music theory, the applications of both, etc.  Ones that I have been looking at are, Oberlin, Berklee, Georgia Tech, and Mills, to give you an idea of what I'm after.  I'm open to foreign country suggestions.  I know a few of you have done/are doing things like that (little-scale comes to mind) so if I could get any responses from people who are in the middle of it, that would be great!

Things I DON'T want:
-Comments like "You shouldn't go into a field this hard".

Things I DO want:
-Constructive comments designed to help me and others with similar sentiments.

Keep in mind, that I've made up my mind to do this.  Also, I'm an accomplished trumpet player and vocalist, and will have a pretty good resume both academically and extracurricularily.  I've exhausted almost all possibilities to work with this kind of stuff where I'm at. tongue

Thank you!

I know this was originally on Amiga but this rocks so hard:


little-scale's "You Can't Change The World" is great too!

POKEY is one of the most underrated chips IMO.  I gotta give these trackers a try soon, I'm more attracted to the native ones however.

Wow!  You made that bringing a MOD back and forth in Chipper?  Good luck with getting it to play on the flash cart, I'd love to hear the results.  Keepin' my eyes peeled for a Lynx II.  smile

Great tune!  DefleMask is really exciting and Delek seems like a really cool guy.  It sounds like he wants to add more FM chip support which is crazy.  I can't help but imagine how tiny a FM based cellphone DJ set would be. big_smile

I downloaded it a while ago.  Don't know why I would ever use it.

I actually see where this is coming from.  As hard as it can be, we can all try harder.  You should see my first posts on 8bc.... sad

no bad feelings taken man, I just think you might be missing the whole idea of using the game boy. no worries.

I think you might be missing the whole idea if you think that there's a single "whole idea of using the game boy;" a portable game console that you are now using to create music. smile

That's kind of how I feel about it.  Sure, "it's a gameboy" but we are re-appropriating it for another purpose.  Trying to make it be the best for that purpose, I think is part of our spirit.  Regardless, if its unnecessary or not.

How did you protect the output?  Are those just 10uf caps on the audio line?  I never quite understood how to protect the outs, with caps and resistors, etc.
