@An0va, I really appreciate you helping out man. Your tunes are awesome. I'm watching the vid now, it's pretty informative. I forget how small the chip world is! Gonna sit down and practice.

Nah I think you guys are right. I'm not putting enough work into the basics and looking for tricks to compensate. It's something I do a lot and need to work on. Gonna focus on song-craft and attention to detail like variations which I'm lazy about.
It always comes back to the fundamentals. I've been lazy for a few years, Need to up my game!

I use 7F for my empty chains ![]()
I usually use 3-3 so that the bass and the kick feel like they happen simultaneously. I do sometimes use the D command to swing the hats.Guess I need to go back to the woodshed and study some save files.

How do?

This track really inspired me this morning and I just can't make anything that has this kind of groove. My kicks and bass lines just feel really locked down, rigid and mechanical. I've tried adding some swing, but its hard to do when the groove is at 3-3 to lock the bass in. I'm really struggling.
I guess my question is, for you more advanced folks, how do you humanise the groove between the WAV and the NOI while still squeezing them for all they're worth?

Re: First track posted here. Looking for feedback. (11 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
While you have some interesting compositional ideas, its all very undynamic and everything is kind of the same squarewave sound. Try using different pulse widths, envelopes and arps to distinguish the voices. Also embellishments wouldn't go amiss, a bit of vibrato and slides in and out could breathe some life into it.

Re: LSDJ number of channels and possibilities... (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
LSDJ learning goes in 3 stages:
1. Learning how to use each channel.
2. Learning how to juggle channels to cram loads in!
3. Learning to make it sound like you're not cramming when you are, and learning to sound like you're cramming when you're not.
Also WAV is the most flexible tool in LSDJ and you'll eventually use it for everything.

Deafanese is a two piece from Nottingham UK who make banging tunes about being sad, but also kind of hopeful. We're not a chiptune project, but LSDJ has its hands all over this album. There's loads of delicious of pulse leads and a WAV crunches you guys will enjoy, juxtaposed against all the warm analogue synths. There's also a few weirder things in there, like a solo from a rare Dirty Electronics "Dirty Carter Experimental Sound Generator" from my time in the Dirty Electronics Ensemble.
I'm sure you'll find something to love, I'm very proud of this!
EDIT: we're open for gigs around the UK as well....

People like you forever give the finger to the "Chip is a gimmick crowd". Three months in and we've already got a serious AOTY contender.

Is there a video of the Hannibal Buress thing? I'm not sure I believe it.
