The Hunters' set was so good! Anyone know where to find recordings of their music?
(I have found the set on FMA)

Funny thing is, when I start up the GB there's no background hum. It only starts when Nanoloop starts up. So I'm thinking it's somehow related to the software?

I think this is related to the flash memory on the nanoloop cart. It's much more audible on the micro than sp in my experience.
This of course differs from gba to gba as well...  Cleanest output I've had from nanoloop is with a DS Lite.

You can get one of those third party game boy cables that has both.

And just to clarify: these are usually DMG -> CGB, but (cgb) works for GBA as well.
I actually have one like in the pic. smile

Make a bunch of tables that transpose note, call A command with Z, get semi-random notes. Maybe?

You can arrange patterns in song mode, but it's a much less dynamic way of working.
You can also, as previously said in this thread, make a channel play back at 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 time and play around with shuffle, retrigger, arpeggios to make longer more complex patterns. Also there's ping-pong mode which can yield very intricate results if used wisely. Read the manual carefully and figure out all the different functions.

And don't forget about the polyrhythmic capabilities of 2.6! You can change the number of steps on each track individually.

Play around, experiment, have fun! smile

It's not that simple, the human hearing is affected by duration, frequencies, sound pressure and bandwidth etc. Some sounds are actually more 'dangerous' to our hearing than others. Can't say I know the facts very well or at all, I just know it's not as simple as 'loud is loud'. smile

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness

Actually, when I first started listening to chip music I did feel like it was hurting my ears more than what I was listening to before. It would seem reasonable that such was the case if you take into consideration that chip music usually consists of unfiltered raw waveforms that are quite sharp in nature. Maybe I'm wrong about this, would be interesting to know from someone who has the expertise!

Also; this comes to mind:
http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab- … s-jericho/

It's an episode from Radiolab in which they discuss how you would actually tear down the walls of Jericho with shofars (a type of horn instrument).
They talk a lot about how you measure decibels and how to achieve loudness etc.

Pure Data, Processing (visuals? smile) ... It's a shame Ardour isn't available for Windows, it's a really good open source (although not 100% free) DAW
I would check out any open source software that looks promising.

LMMS is available for windows: http://lmms.sourceforge.net/
It can host VSTi's and spit midi.

Buzztracker?

Reaper is practically free and it's a really good DAW. Better than most "top" ones.
