the biggest downfall that place has I think is not having "8bit" in the name because otherwise, it's freaking great

although it DOES lack a Top 10 of last week which honestly is the entire reason people used 8bc in the first place

It has a top three though. If anything that's a really bad way of doing things, because music by already popular artists gets listened to more than stuff by new artists.

that seems like a lot of work for 18gb when probably 17gb of it was garbage

it was 18gb of songs that all had 10 or more favorites. If it wasn't, then there'd be way more shit in there, also some of it would be mine, which would be an indicator of poor quality.

Anyway, garbage is in the eye of the beholder, yadayada

I shall re-download it after I've cleared out all of the shows that I haven't deleted yet that are taking up lots of space (mostly 200 odd eps of gintama)

phones without touch screens are even worse for making music. the composer on the old nokias was fuckin great though, it'd be hilarious if someone wrote a beeper for the 3315.
using a smartphone/tablet as a control surface is pretty cool, except holding your control surface all the time would be a drag i think

+ current australian political climate and political journalism. it's all kinda puerile, really.

Phones without touchscreens could be alright at making music, if there was any software for them (none for my nokia6680 that I can find)

Also seconding that the old nokia composer thing was amazing, it's still on a few low-end nokias even now. Both my Dad's newish nokia, and my Mum's ancient one have it.

More dumb first world stuff that gets me mad, that someone beat my highscore in audosurf on Solarbear's track "How to properly use a semicolon"

I thought you meant all phones.

Seeing as you don't, no, I completely agree with you, doing anything that requires any kind of precision on a touchscreen phone is a bad idea.

It doesn't matter what platform you use, a phone is a dumb, shitty way to make music.

not really, it's convenience isn't it? I mean I carry my phone with me most of the time, and if it had the capacity to note down music, in whatever form, that would be really handy. Almost like a musical sketchbook.

Are you looking to make your way into the GB-modder's crowd? I am looking for way out; or "up and out" to be more honest. I see gameboy modding to be more of a mechanic's job whereas I am the engineering type. I will not be leaving the chip community, but I am much more interested in "creation" rather than "supplementing."

I have long considered selling off my massive collection of gameboys, screws, drivers, backlights, etc.

And this is the second time in the past 12 hours that I've kicked myself for spending all of my money.

Sorry for the contentless bump, but does anyone have a link for those telephone signals/ announcements? The link in the OP is dead, and when I saw them, I thought they might be pretty interesting.

Also if anyone cares, I could do a sample pack of my old Yamaha PSS-680 keyboard, or either of the shitt, kiddy keyboards I've got.

why not? ios has the most/best music applications and is the only mobile os to properly support midi.

When I had an iPhone, I didn't really use it for music, so I couldn't really comment on how good they are for making it. And, as I've never owned an android, or even used one for longer than it takes for me to change a friends background to a picture of a penis, I haven't had very much interaction with music software on android therefore, it would be stupid of me to put one higher than the other.

now now now, don't take my statement the wrong way. i have nothing against apple products or iPhones (I work at an Apple store). Simply, I come in contact with so many users who are in so far over their heads and expect me to be able to solve all their problems in 1 minute. And of course, it's always the phone's fault. Granted I DO see a lot of issues with the product itself. However, that's basically a risk you assume when buying anything.

So in summary, the general iPhone user population grinds my gears. Someone who knows what they're doing and doing something cool with it? Inspiring.

Nah man, I didn't think you where making an attack against iPhones or their users, I just wanted to know whet your reasons where dude.

I don't own a smart phone, so those times at parties or clubs or general social gatherings where there is a second of lull and everybody pulls out their smart phone to check on something/look busy and I'm left sitting there staring at everyone like a dickhead.

This gets on my nerves, I have this one friend who has an iPhone 5, and all he's on it anytime we hang out. e.g. me, him, and another friend are in town, we're walking around, looking in shops and shit, and he's dawdling behind with his face glued to the thing, checking Facebook or twitter or something
