You'll need a soundfont player to use sf2 files, bs-0 is the only free one I can think of for OSX -> http://www.bismark.jp/bs-0/index.html

Re: Modern DMG Screen Covers (45 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
The red one looks really nice, too. That and the light grey one next to it would look mint with NES controller buttons.
Could you ever do a chrome one like on the silver pockets?

Yeah basically it just sounds like a regular piano-ey garageband song that's been bitcrushed heaps and not like anything actually made with 8-bit hardware.

Re: LSDJ kick help (7 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Could also start with a fast pitchbend for the pop and then a slow one a couple ticks later for the boooom on any of the tuned channels.
Personally, I'd use a sine-ish sound on the wav chan so you can shape the start of the kick synth to be clipped a lot and then smooth it out on the next frame, flipping through the frames using the same table for the pitchbend

Re: What mic do you use to record handhelds? Or do you prefer line-in? (23 replies, posted in Audio Production)
Maybe turn energy saving off if you're running an older version of LSDJ, or run from battery if you're using an adapter. I like how it sounds as an effect within a metal track but I think in a finished mix you'd want a more varied pallette of tones... The part where it sounded best imo was ~2:24 where it splits that heavy section right in two and adds a bit of drama.

I reckon micing the gameboy speaker would sound awesome for an effect in a larger mix or for an intro to a track, but utterly dreadful for an entire song. AFAIK pretty much everyone does line-in.

Re: On Chipmusic Nights (81 replies, posted in General Discussion)
i've only ever heard the term "dance music" used as a blanket term for all forms of techno, trance and house music. which is fine, really. better than when people call any forms of electronic music "techno"

Re: DMG pricing- what would YOU pay? (75 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
i think the "holding a gameboy on stage" element introduces a great deal of skeptics and holds us all back
okay dude i know you hate anything that has more than three people doing it but this strikes me as a very silly thing to say. if you're the cool guy on stage playing the glockenspiel with a megadrive accompaniment nobody is going to think any less of you if the next guy comes up playing a mario remix off of a fluorescent pink brick. you're probably not even going to be playing the same show.
i mean in fairness i've been around since pretty much last thursday, so... blissful ignorance?
