Live mode, play a channel whilst recording. Do the same over and over for the rest of them.

in..ta...resting.... and no noticeable changes in sync?

if you record each channel separately, then it is fairly easy to put emphasis on the size of your kick... however, for playing live, I would have to exactly agree with SKGB...

just gonna snag a slight tangent on the main topic..(i use nanoloop, dont have a cart with the lsdj rom).. how would one ideally separate tracks into audio software for later mixing? exporting each channel via midi sync? or analog output, that is playing each channel solo, then reconstructing them? or is there some kind of way to bundle export the sound directly and separated within lsdj?.....curious....

Hi all,

Just wanted to throw out some love to everyone and say thanks for this community, all of the programmers, modders, inventors, thinkers and musicians i've come across here provide a great deal inspiration. The nature of using the kinds of technology and equipment to make music with all shades of emotion and style means a certain degree of sharing a variety of skills must exist. The fact that the genre is relatively new and not exactly profitable underscores the fact that all of this is a labor of love (especially since most involved are crotchety, cynical, brilliant and under-appreciated) . A horrible wonderful journey it is.

besty

are you trying to say that THE PURPOSE of music is dancing?????

nah, there are as many purposes for music as there kinds of music and people who listen to it.

the notion that music that is not innately danceable is a new idea. you can trace it back to a divide plato hammered to death and western classical music took to its logical conclusion: the whole senses vs the intellect debate. melody represents the intellect while rhythm represents the senses/body. the intellect is superior and is obstructed by the senses-especially pleasure.

The thing is, I don't think the two need to be separate, or have ever needed to be. I don't really need to intellectualize my dance music to enjoy it, at the same time, I don't always need to dance to my intellectual music to enjoy that either. I'm saying this as someone who has enjoyed literally all of his music sober (even at raves and the like). It's fun to dance! But it's also fun to sit back and think about how everyone is kind of feeding off each other, etc.

agreed, the divide is total bs. neuro-science has shed some light on the subject.... music is not a singular experience as we intuit it to be. rhythm, timbre, melody, pitch, harmony are processed extrapolated in different areas of the brain. might help explain why some people are drawn or repelled by certain aspects. for example in the middle ages scales/harmony where all the rage, these days timbre and rhythm get all the attention

a little to the party on this, a couple quick points: looking at the history of music from a longview, most of musical history is well pre-history. but all cultures have music regardless of how ughh "primitive" they are. this music is if not more, at the very least ceremonial/religious/communal and involves dance.  the notion that music that is not innately danceable is a new idea. you can trace it back to a divide plato hammered to death and western classical music took to its logical conclusion: the whole senses vs the intellect debate. melody represents the intellect while rhythm represents the senses/body. the intellect is superior and is obstructed by the senses-especially pleasure. lots of holes in this but...its held up for a long while. the rub the op is talking about is a modern take on this classic notion. only now we the throw the cultural associations into the mix, i.e. what kinds of people stereo-typically listen to a kind of music and where, factors in as much as the music itself. whatevs...at the end of the day its all just subjective arguements

2.5.4 isn't the latest, according to the cart I have, which shipped with 2.5.5... Is that even a thing yet?

(I fixed the problem by literally smashing button on startup and now the problem does't hang around anymore, though, so that's one question outta the way!)

bummer! i had the same problem with my nanoloop 1.6 cart. oliver said to do what you did-holding the start button until the memory re-organizes. no probs since. sheesh

Rather than just placing notes that sound "right" in a correct order.


wait how is doing this with paper first different from in a tracker or step sequencer?

it's like all these people want to do is try and get famous as quickly as they can.

well I for one am sick of it.

I spend weeks writing my music down on ACTUAL STAFF PAPER! yes believe it or not some of us still write our music by hand

Then I'll spend months creating my electronic music, no daw's, no loops, no digital anything, just analog recorded drum machines, and analog synthesizers.

so tell me what is you excuse for your low brow effort and failure to understand sound design and composition?

if you are looking for true art you can find me here

lolz, i spend all my time trying to bypass/forget the years of theory i studied. i like music that goes nowhere-blame it on the motorik and minimalists? as for sound design-trampling the limitations of the hardware is all the fun, there are more than a few composers here that coax some truly beautiful emotive sounds from their bits..... been a while since i heard any analogers doggin on digital enthusiasts-takes me back to the heady late 90's........ pragmatism ftw
