when this is all finished and ready, send it my way so i can upload to the datathrash bandcamp (preferably with the audio as wav files, mastered please - i really don't want to master it myself but i can if needed)

or buy 2 so you have a spare, the first one i had died after using it in a venue with unstable power (that same night, ccdm's amiga gave him trouble and common dominator's laptop power supply got fried)

i have the one herr_prof posted, mine came with Ulead video studio for the software end of things and it does a pretty good job (though some of the video codec options don't seem to work properly)

I've started noticing this with some chip gigs as well though; there tends to be less emphasis on experimental/dark stuff and more happy hardcore/EDM, which is fun and all, but maaan I want to go to a chip doom gig or something, ha!
i'd be all for this. always hoped they'd do something like this for a halloween pulsewave instead of cover song sets...

oh, that wasn't directed at anyone in particular. just a lot of names i've never seen posting that theyll do a track so i have no way of knowing if theyve actually even listened to anything datathrash has put out in the last two years... if you heard some of the demos we got in the past, you'd know why i felt it bears mentioning

i'm not sure, i only have used it for remixing other people's songs ( ipersonally almost never use lsdj, not my cup of tea), so whichever version they wrote their songs in

though also keep in mind tracks we put out also included noise, industrial & breakcore stuff.. just keep it (legitimately) evil sounding... minor chords and power chords are your friends

Re: What do you think of these renoise based breakcore chiptune (1 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
i like breakcore a lot so i had to give a listen.
personally, the synths didn't sit with me too well and were a bit too repetitive for my taste, the drums could use more variation too. perhaps less bitcrushing and distortion overall would help as it's a bit lacking in dynamic range which tends to be important for breakcore... the way the tracks sound now, i can't really tell if you even used more than three drum hit samples per song as the snares and cymbal hits (if there are any) are distorted so much that they sound more like a distorted kick

try not to disappoint me... keep in mind that thrash doesn't just mean faster dance music, please 
this song is a fine example of thrash (i'm surprised someone put it in a tony hawk game about 30 years after the song was written)

EDIT: Or, if you already have a MIDI-based arduinoboy, grab a raspi and a cheap USB-MIDI adaptor and plug both the piggy-midi and arduinoboy into that, for way less that $200.
no arduinoboy or usb midi adapter needed, he HAS the nanoloop usb midi adapter which should do the trick

Yea that's true. Although I do feel a bit intimidated by the arduinoboy's cause all of this diy hardware stuff is new to me, but that would definitely cut down on costs. I'm guessing though most of it is all fairly simple to setup and use?
and like i said, rasberry pi and the adapter you have, -plus a game boy link cable should be all you'd need if you're comfortable getting a pi set up (its not too hard)
jefftheworld: if you read word for word what i wrote, it should make sense what i'm talking about.. also, the $20 kit includes on the pcb and cable (which needs re-pinning), no actual components, din jack or PIC.. i'd imagine someone just getting into this isn't going to want to build his own arduinoboy and piggy midi box

I believe he's referring to this along with with the arduinoboy
actually this plus piggy->midi.. an assembled one runs about $60-75 and the kenton box is around $140.. yes an arduinoboy is cheaper, but i was stating what he'd need to use the nanoloop usb midi as he was asking

ohhh ok. I was hoping that I would have been able to somewhat use it as a drum machine with LSDJ but ohhh well xD
e.s.c. wrote:though you can use the nanoloop usb midi adapter directly in the usb port of either a raspberry pi or windows machine running piggy tracker
So just to make sure I read this right, I can't sync with the GP2X, but I can with a PC or Raspberry PI when using the nanoloop usb midi adapter right? Sorry the whole syncing process confuses me a bit.
you can, just you would need two devices in between them if using the gp2x version of piggy tracker (that cost about $200). no other devices needed if you use either the pi or windows version of piggy tracker instead (though with windows some people have slight issues with latency)
was unaware of the lsdj issues reported here, i've used it with both nanoloop (versions 1.3, 1.7 & 2.3) and mGB without issues though..
the nice thing about using the windows version (at least for final recordings) is that you can run it with the -FILESPLITRT option, which gives you a wav file of each channel of piggy tracker so you can mix them in a DAW and make adjustments to each separately as needed (i usually do eq adjustments on each channel then also on the master mix)
