hnnnng if i could afford this oh god

i'm arranging a team and we're going to start working, but i suspect very few people here actually make legit games.

bah, i just throw the .wav in FLS and work the magic with the plugins there. works fine for me.
(of course, that'll set you back about $50-200)

I don't know.... lots of heavily-trafficked blogs do as much or less. Post it and they will come..... eventually. I just think you probably don't want to be calling it a netlabel if you are posting stuff that's already been released on another label.

what "heavily trafficked blogs"? Maybe ones for more popular music with a huge range of artists and no central community (like this website). Realistically he might get a readership of like 2 or three people, maybe more eventually. But what he's offering in no way differentiates himself from any number of chip music blogs that offer at least some semblance of content.  Also there's not even any kind of curation going on aside from "who wants their stuff on my blog?" It just ends up as a jumbled mess of unrelated music of varying degrees of quality with literally no attempt at explanation or recommendation.

Also just a side note, naming your blog similarly to how a recordlabel or netlabel might be named could be misleading.

bandcamp registers 20 plays and several hits referred from his site so far

works for me! heart

"Is this a netlabel or a blog?"

i think it's both.

considering you don't appear to take any revenue shares from the authors' music, you're simply posting about them. that makes this a blog, not a netlabel.

Good question. I usually either put it into Nanoloop on my phone or record myself humming or singing it. Problem is, if I record myself, then I usually forget to go back and look at them. neutral

seeing as i can't work with nanoloop if my life depended on it, i'll probably just do the whole 'humming' method next time another bassline/melody/whatever the eff i think up next comes around.

i'm about to get working on rigging an old DIN-connector keyboard to sync with LSDJ and was also thinking of doing little-scale's Teensy-chip MIDI sync as well. seeing as i'm short of cash, parts, space and pretty much everything else, i have to ask:
is it possible to wire a DMG link cable (nonelec's DMG/CGB cable is likely my only option) into BOTH and work them interchangeably using a switch? if so, how would i go about doing that? i'm pretty bad at electronic work so i'm honestly too dumb to answer this question myself.

thanks in advance.

this prompts the question: what's the most efficient possible way to get an original bassline > your chiptune platform of choice - without use of instruments OR portable chiptune platforms (say you're in an environment where pulling out a keyboard (or a gameboy!) would be socially unacceptable) - & without totally forgetting it?

All the frickin' time. That's why I got nanoloop on my phone, so I can *hopefully* transcribe a song as soon as I think of it. Usually I think of it at the most inopportune times, however, so this rarely works as planned. =_=".

hahahahahah, i actually just carry around my gameboy with me wherever i go and excuse myself whenever i get an idea.

you wouldn't believe the "OH MY GOD MY CHILDHOOD" and "HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT ALIEN THING" stares you'll get in a highschool when you're done with your work and you whip out a black, backlighted, play-it-loud DMG. it's hilarious.

happens all the damn time to me, honestly. mainly, though, it's my own basslines that i haven't programmed into LSDJ. then when i go to turn on my gameboy, i can't get it down. does THAT happen to many people here? forgetting what you wanted to jot down just as you get the gameboy out?

I'm just curious, what exactly do you guys want this for? LSDj tutorial sessions? Fullscreen gaming? Not having to hold a DMG in your hands? I don't want to flatter myself into thinking shitwave is this popular...

record my LSDJ's song screen along w/ the audio so it's not just a white screen in videos showcasing my works

also yeah i kind of would like to play pokemon red and ZAS fullscreen

and where did you pull shitwave out of all of this. it has very little practical use except for a gameboy zombifier.

- Video-out for the gameboy. I know a couple of people have put together rigs that do gameboy-vga; it would be cool to see something like that available as a kit. I know I can use the super gameboy, but it would be nice not to be tethered to the SNES, and maybe we could even get better video quality.
