Build a little fence around it!

hahaha, Catbug gets me every time.

If you want something like FL Studio that is more sample based, Ableton is pretty good. Plus it handles plugins and MIDI pretty well. If you want something more like Sunvox, Renoise is fantastic--I use it all the time. There is a lot of other stuff out there and much of it is personal preference, so try out lots of stuff before committing.

Cool! Haven't seen Ovenrake play since he lived in Tacoma... gotta try to get some time off work now. Looks like a really solid line-up.

Sunvox

Big fan of a lot of the folks over at Arecibo Radio (http://areciboradio.com/). They run a regular show schedule and have a pretty active IRC chat going. Virt's waifu even runs one of the shows. A few of the shows are on a brief hiatus though, namely Heossentials (hosted by Heosphoros obviously). Its still worth a look and a listen for sure at the very least.

I am in the same boat man, in NY right now because of work, but wishin' I was back in Tacoma.

^^^ Agreed.

Most good music written with 2x lsdj that I have seen use the second gameboy merely to add embellishment; meaning, the core of the song is and can be done with one gameboy. There are just some subtleties, like a lot of cool delay effects that can, for the most part only be done with a second gameboy. As was said, get comfortable with only using one gameboy first. And, most importantly, get good at using rests: don't feel like you need to crowd every moment of the song with a note. If you wanna drop a mad bassline, the best way accentuate it is by cutting out all the other channels. Maybe I sound a little disorganized and maybe I don't make a lot of sense, but, I guess what I am trying to say is that there is a lot of fun that can be had with 2x lsdj, but its often abused and not well done so don't fell like its a downgrade to play with only one.
