What makes this different from, say, chiptune artists who have done the same thing is that Black isn't what you'd call a games guy.

I wonder what the significance of the carts are?

Just exploiting nostalgia seems like.

Do some coding, work on a choon. Prob smoke some ganja and realize I don't enjoy it as much as I used to.  Wait for my new graphics card so I can play D3, for the love of god. Not listen to blip stream.

I would like these albums if they were done well, pitchfork or not. But if you were a really good chip artist you wouldn't make a radiohead cover album. Right? Most cover albums around here are comps, because one person would'nt want to spend that much time covering one artist, straight. You'd want to re-interpret them or something. Which would be uninteresting to Pitchfork, unless it was done by Beck.

I would gladly sit down and cover all of Daft Punk's "Human After All" but I am not a really good chip artist.

Yeah me either

Here is a big ass zip full of breaks, including amen. Really clean samples.

I like ur songs. It's hard to rely on views to tell you how many people listened. Views only tell you when someone visited the song page. Mostly people will just listen to the song in the little flash player and move on. If Views counted Listens, you might have a higher number. But I think If you really want to get out there you should post to soundcloud, make an album, release on Bandcamp, AND post here.

Do they check Soundcloud and don't check Chipmusic, their own site?
But this is a different question.

It's hard to say. There is a bigger user base at Soundcloud, but that means you can get buried. But you should use it for sure. And yeah there have been more users in the music section lately.

i only get an unbearable "whine"  when I sync more then one gb running nanoloop (both gba and gb/gbc). I can currently squash it when I match each gb's mixer channel signal perfectly on my mackie 1202 (cancels it out i guess) BUT if i add effects or volume changes to one channel, then the signals dont not match and the whine rears its ugly head.

so do i understand correctly that this hum does not occur when syncing more then one gb running lsdj? (i only have one cart so i cant test)

No I get that super-whine when syncing nanoloop w lsdj. It's an electrical problem more than likely.

edit: Oh u meant two lsdjs. I dunno.

Is there a way to search music by songname or by artist ? That would be rad !

Well sort of. You will be able to  search through the songs listed in the Feed section (next version). And I'll prob add a setting where you can decide how many songs you want to keep there at a time (right now it's just set to 400). As for finding an artists tracks I'm working adding the ability to retrive a listing of an artists tracks by tapping on their name in the Now Playing screen. I don't know about actually searching the server though.

This may have already been suggested, but I think it might be interesting to be able to sync to nanoloop for iPhone and allow mobile uploads. I personally think that would be pretty cool. big_smile

That would be pretty sweet. I always though that would be kind of cool to just upload songs straight off the phone. Weirdly it may actually be possible to do something like that, because nanoloop lets you export your song to the clip board.

Like this one from 1958

You don't want anything higher on your 3G anyway tongue

I had version 4 on my phone... I had to wait up to a minute sometimes just to type something...
It seriously slows down your iphone to the point it's frustrating and you end up buying a newer one.

That's how apple works big_smile

Well there you have it. It's a vicious cycle!

I've always hated how they lock you into firmware versions. That's why you have to make shsh blobs and all that crap.

Yeah!! Nice set.

The crowd is not sure about how/if to move.  tongue

I punch a cop!!

The play triangle indicator is usually the only indication I have that the app is still playing, but then I have to launch it and scroll down until I find the song that's playing if I want to stop it - or start the first song and then pause that, usually resulting in a wait until it loads enough to start playing before pausing.

That's what I intented the NowPlaying button for. So you can quickly see what song is playing and stop it. Hopefully that's working properly? So here's what I'm thinking:

Song is playing audibly: Play triangle in statusbar
Song is buffering: Little spinning circle indicator in statusbar
Not Playing: No indicators

That's how I'll do it in the next version I think. Should I make some way of locating the song in the list quickly? Not sure where to put the control for that...but I will at least automatically scroll to the current song on each track change. That already happens in Shuffle mode.

About the headphone thing, I think I know how to fix it, so the next update will prob set it right.

One thing I will definately have is permanent storage, so you can download specific songs and not have to worry about buffering. I'm also thinking about doing a player that will preload the songs like youtube. I've been busy though so that might have to wait. Idk. Could go either way.

edit:
Oh yeah it will have search too.

What I discovered is you can make it less noticeable by making the waveform more gritty. I guess I try to make the speed of the frame change in time with the song as well.
