free download of my good friend Aaron Meaux's first album.
yeah, I pretty much taught him everything he knows... too bad he is better than me now 
I helped with the album a lot, but it is all Aaron (aka Strong Suit).
tell me what you think 
if you hate mastering, pay a buddy to do it! 
and artwork is important to me, maybe because I just like art
sounds like a fun band to me
mine sucked... its the only one that is out right now
no lsdj here either 
75 year old's brain.
so much wisdom
Buskerdroid - Gameboy Love (the track)
the EP rocks, but the track is just crazy good
hat do you like to use?
Sweet will I be able to get one shipped to the states? If not its cool, but I'd pay for it as long as it is pretty reasonable in price
I like it, just scanned the 7 really liked clock works and the title track
Itunes is the work of the DEVIL (highly subjective opinion though
i do not completely disagree, but one does not need to deal with itunes much to get the exporting done
export on device, plug in to itunes on computer, drag and drop to desktop. itunes meets my format conversion needs too.
Dont know about the cheap part though. iphone + nanoloop app probably cost a bit more than game boy + nanoloop cart.
Then again, why would someone buy an iPhone just for Nanoloop? I think the app only costs $2-3, that's a lot better than $60-80...
I should not assume that you already owned a device capable of using the app. sorry
if you dont, the crappiest ipod touch in the world would run it just fine (as long as it worked properly).
and when I said that "real chiptune sound" i was really talking about LSDJ as compared to nanoloop. I said misused "no alternative" for emphasis, I was not encompassing anything besides the two products in question. It was a poor choice of words.
i couldn't write a song with it unless i was doing something either super repetitive or really chilled out and slow, that's just me though.
an example
apart from what has already been said, make sure your cover art does not look home-made! it will make you look a lot more professional.
I know that I suck at this, but it is still a good idea and I will double the college radio idea
sampling is cool in nanoloop mostly because it's so easy to do, but the fact that you literally cannot change a sound from note to note is a deal breaker for me, i would end up using something like three channels just for percussion and then only have two left for anything else.
There's definitely some cool things to be done with iphone nanoloop, but realistically, i couldn't write a song with it unless i was doing something either super repetitive or really chilled out and slow, that's just me though. Also i personally find the synthesis on both gameboy versions to be more compelling than in the iphone version, it just demands more exploration.
i agree completely; it works for me because the things I make can be classified as repetitive, and sample filled, also have a vast collection of instruments to record my own samples with so I can get what I want out of the sample from the start. the synth on the GB versions sound a little better too. but having 6 channels is awesome
I think I'm going to get LSDJ. Even if it's more complicated, I can do more with it. The greater the challenge, the greater the reward! Besides, LSDJ can sync with nanoloop, so I don't really even have to choose.
I think you are making the right decision for your style
fucking lol about nanoloop iphone being less limited than the other versions
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you've never used the other versions.
I bought 2.5 because I liked the iPhone version so much. I did not like it as much, I felt like it was more limited. That is probly because I was already so used to the iphone and i was too dependent on samples. but samples are a big deal, a lot of my songs are all samples (re-sampling is also really convenient on the mobile versions).
in my biased, inexperienced, untalented opinion the mobile versions are less limited than those for the GB.
listen to what other people say, because I am not good, and unless it is about Nanoloop for iphone, or a live band instrument, i do not know much.
