I would say go for it. It wont hurt, you'll get lots of experience.
Yeah, that's the biggest thing, It's not like it'll actually hurt to try. Watch some tutorials, mess around, see if you can play your favorite songs.
Oh boy, I get to meet Danimal Cannon!
Also depends on what the song is. You can pretty much cover anything in lsdj as long as you're ok with cutting out some parts. I'd actually recommend covering a few songs from video games to learn the interface, they're simple because they were written for the hardware. The only limit on what you can do in lsdj is how much time and energy you want to put in to it. And 4 channels, I guess.

this, seriously its just a matter of the right cables for the mixer
I have so many converter cables I could probably plug my gameboy into a lamp.
just turn it off
Good advice for anyone writing chip.
yeah, just bit shifter and nullsleep, right?... theyve had interns at some points too
what I want to be an intern
Few months forced piano. Just keep at it and you'll suck less every time.
This is super rad and all, but honestly once you go the virtual box route it's not even hard anymore. Getting it set up is odd, but now it takes me maybe a minute to back up my songs.

Haha no worries, noticed they've had that demo-policy link for years. Couldn't help notice releases still get put through it though.
Always wondered what kind of process they go through. I bet it has to be that you've got to know someone inside or as Teomawki said earlier be contacted by them.
EDIT:-Grammar
Again, they do it illuminati style. If you're missing demos off of your computer and you keep thinking you're seeing something out of the corner of your eye that means your release is already up.
yo ngl a good pair of socks is one of the best gifts out there
I got like 7 pairs of socks. New socks for a week straight is gonna be awesome.
Best gift that I got was a WiFi Pineapple Mark V.
I don't know what it does but it looks like something out of johnny mnemonic so I kinda want one.
I jumped right on it... and sent him this video:

EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET IS TRUE
I got a field recorder.
This guy is seriously underestimating how big Nintendo was.

Relativism at its worst and most obvious.
Look, I used to be like you. I have really strong opinions about the music I listen to and had no issues with voicing them. I thought I was pretty good at arguing that pop music/country/whatever is crap and objectively bad. Maybe I was, but I didn't see any real results with it because I was forgetting something huge:
Nobody cares!
You're never going to convince someone to like different music by trying to sound rational; liking music isn't rational. Liking music is something much more emotional. Have you ever tried to make someone feel better by arguing with them? It doesn't work. People like different things for different reasons, and no reason is worth more than any other. Liking music because it's catchy is not any more valid than liking music because of technical proficiency. Liking music because it's aggressive is no more valid than liking music because it's relaxing. These opinions are developed by our feelings and experiences over one's life so far. These things aren't going to change immediately just because you claim to be an objective authority on music.
If you're having trouble connecting with people over music try showing them the middle ground between what you like and what they like. Don't drop pop fans into shitbird right off the bat, try nullsleep or some of the songs off the most recent electric children album. When you try to argue merit about something that is 95% opinion you're not going to sound as smart as you think you sound. You're going to sound like an asshole and people won't want to talk to you. I know. I've been there.
In conclusion, be a little open minded/be nice to people/listen to cool tunes/this picture:
I'm going to stop replying after this because it's pretty unrelated to the actual thread (I have a bad habit of propagating flame wars), I just hope that at some point you reconsider this narrow point of view. There's a lot you could be missing, both in music and music fans.
