Wait....I get it.   The ProFX has one send, and a monitor out.  They're counting the monitor out as a send.   conversely, it seems on other models they don't have a monitor out, then have an AUX2.

I will probably be using floor monitors or IEM in the future, so I actually need 3 sends, or 2 sends + monitor.

This is getting more expensive by the minute.  I think I might just stick with my 4 channel Soundlab POS big_smile

well, the mackie has the control room out which works well for monitors (either whole mix, or set it to only have your alt 3-4 outputs got to control room but also the main mix, should you only want some pieces of your gear in the monitor) if you do this though, you may wish to set the aux1 out to prefader rather than post fader, since i dont think you can send a channel to the alt 3-4 and the effects out simultaneously otherwise (i know this was the case on some behringers, havent bothered to check since i got the mackie, since i havent been using the alt outs)

edit: got caught up in that enough to forget to mention this: unless youre buying your own monitors, likely youll be getting them run by the sound guy at the venue as just a full mix, which works fine for most situations aynway..but in that case you wont need another send

There are adapters out there with two ports on, a splitter essentially, allowing headphone output and syncing/charging. I've never seen one in person but I remember Bubblyfish using one.

yeah, but like logan said, the link port is a seperate port...would like to point out a fun fact: these splitter type headphone adapters can be daisy chained smile

by the way, dream machine #1 works best in an other wise dark room, playing on loop for 20-45 minutes..feel free to do other things (like work on music or talk to people) while it's running...at some point, your brain syncs properly to the flashing and most people can tell the difference...i didnt put this info in the description when i showed it at a student run gallery during college, gave me a nice test run since people didnt know what they video was supposed to do and came out feeling the effects anyway, at which point i explained to them that it was syncing their brain waves to the different stages of sleep (#1 triggers alpha waves, probably the most interesting to experience fully awake)

sound quality of game boys can vary from unit pretty heavily, and also deciding which sounds "better" is awfully subjective
personally, i have nothing against the sound of SPs, just hate those headphone adapters (more the fact that a lot of them suck and it can be tough finding a good one that will stay in place well, so i usually use electrical tape to help hold it when i use one live)

got it, love it. i think it's way more of an experience when you couple it with the visual aspect. (chip visualists, anyone want to try and recreate this in a live setting? please? )  smile

ive already made video pieces that do this, 10 years ago..they arent chip, but ive been known to use them in visuals

they are the dream machine pieces, one of which is here: http://www.soundcollapse.org/video/drea … ne%201.wmv
apologies for it being wmv, hope to get to a full overhaul of my website in the next few months at which point, ill have the video stuff on vimeo as well as downloadable versions of some pieces

During the mastering I'll add a shitload of distortion and bad EQing to make this release the most "grim and frostbitten" chip release ever. Deal with it.

i mean, i love distortion, you know i do...but how is this not a deal breaker for everyone? distortion used wrong/excessivley can ruin any track

i always find the "what should i download" threads a little silly as they never take into account the poster's personal tastes...so what kind of stuff do you already like? we can maybe see how it goes if people then suggest things based on your other musical tastes, since id say totally different things to people who listen to black flag vs people who listen to radiohead

both would have to use the USB, from what i understand

This is SO going at the top of my CV.

Low-gain, were you involved in the discussion on the LGPT mailing list around Christmas about PSP MIDI? I seem to remember M-.-n was happy to do a build for PSP with serial output enabled for anyone making an interface...? Would be happy to stump up some pre-order cash once development of an interface got underway!

and if youd need use of a psp for dev, i could lend you one of mine
