Oh rad, thanks! Missed that thread somehow.

Most recently found a complete working Sega Dreamcast w/2 controllers, 2 VMUs (and a burned copy of Ikaruga inside) at a Goodwill for $25. I know that's not the craziest find ever, but it's a pretty good price, and a real surprise to find in a Goodwill around here, as not only do thrift stores tend to get picked over pretty hard and fast in Portland, but Goodwill sells most of their video game stuff on shopgoodwill.com now.

Spectacular dumpster finds are pretty hard to come by (again, it's Portland - the second something cool gets thrown away, a dozen people are ON IT instantly) but I did find a working card reader and a little metal Mario ? box container in a free box outside awhile ago.

Also found Star Raiders for Atari 2600 ALMOST complete in box (missing the comic) at a yard sale, bundled it with a bunch of other Atari games for $5.

Various Game Boys for about $10, surprisingly that's about what they go for even at game stores here that are wise to chipmusic and retro collectors.

Thanks for the input. I definitely don't take it as negative criticism. I didn't put nearly that much thought into recording the guitars; the whole pathway was SM57 -> 4-channel mixer -> line in on my computer -> Mixcraft. I had these songs done and really wanted to just get them out there. I basically did all the recording no-no's like using headphones to mix, etc. I don't mean I don't think it's worth it to analyze it that much, just that this time around, I didn't.

I do have a bunch of other songs that are recorded but still need vocals, talking about recording sometime would be cool!

thanks!

The general public will probably always assume that you're just pressing play no matter what you do. Even if you play guitar and run around, people are going to ask stuff like "so what video games do you get your samples from?"

I almost feel like giving a preamble speech before I play about what LSDJ is and how I make music, but that'd be kind of silly.

Necrothread whatever, it's a perennial chipmusic issue

Argh, I don't know! I play under the name Tonight We Launch, but I haven't finished a recording yet so I don't have much of an internet presence. Soon though! In the meantime, hit me up here, I'm always down to play.

EDIT: Whoa, were you in the Glowing Stars? If so I discovered your band like a week before your last show ever and am bummed I never got to see you. My stuff is right up the same alley. Do you set up shows in your town?

As far as I know, the toploader only comes with RF out, but can be modified. But what I really want to do, and probably just didn't explain well, is the mod where you tap the audio directly off the board before it's mixed to mono and run it to two extra audio outs, where one is the two square waves and the other is the triangle, noise and DPCM channel.
