I emjoying the lsdj backlash, it allows me to best identify morons who thinks its software's fault for being so easy to use that it encourages a proliferation of bad music.

How far can you blame something like Pro tools for bands like nickelback?

Or, more in keeping with the original post, anyone should be discouraged from ever making another guitar because Nickleback used them.

As I said, I'm perfectly willing to provide a special version of Pulsar with no audio. That way you can be safe in the knowledge that you'll never use it to contribute to the tsunami of mediocrity that programs like LSDJ have been the catalyst for.

Apart from a NES cover of John Cale's 4'33" perhaps....

I can't wait for Pulsar to be released.
I'm real excited.

Can I try out what you have done so far Neil?

Or should I just wait?

Patience, patience.

It's close.... smile

Skeptic? Negative impact on the NES?

*shrugs*

I'll make you a special version of Pulsar with the audio disabled.

Please forgive me if this has been addressed before. I am woefully behind on the last couple of months of bad ass indie NES development but is pulsar going to open up synthesis options which were not available to MML users?

Have a listen to the demos. If you're an MML user (I've dabbled) you're probably in a better position to judge what can/can't be done compared to what is going on in Pulsar.

Interesting concept. I don't know anything about Nanoloop (no, seriously, apart from knowing it has a grid smile) so I'm not sure what advantage/difference a layout like that would give you?

Reviving thread for greatness... learning a lot about NTRQ... I'm running Nestopia on OSX. Had to terminal some of the files to get where the sav's are located, but I've got it figured out now. Don't know how far I'll take my tracking as all my songs sound like shit... but we'll see what happens.
Great job IMO Neil.

Why thank you!

There are several tutorials over on my website too;

Fuck, I'm glad I didn't read anyone's list before writing mine.  There were so many "oh fuck, I should have put THAT one"'s that it totally would have drastically affected my stream of thought.  Real nice shit there. 

@neilbaldwin: seeds of love is my second LEAST fave TFF album.  You so crazy.

Yeah, it's not everyone's cup of tea but the song-crafting and production on that album is just so good.

The way I approached this was, these are albums that changed my opinions about music in some way. Some of them I've only heard a couple times, but from the first time I heard them, I never forgot them.

Interesting. I'd probably end up with a different list if I did that. Well, actually, 50% would remain.... smile

Jeff Buckley - Grace
Stevie Wonder - Innvervisions
Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas
The Jam - All Mod Cons
The Dickies - The Incredible Shrinking Dickies
Botch - We Are The Romans
Jimi Hendrix - Blues
Paul Curreri - From Long Gones To Hawkmoths
New Order - Low-life
Tears For Fears - Seeds Of Love
Alvin Youngblood Hart - Big Momma's Door
Crowded House - Together Alone
Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet
Nick Cave - Murder Ballads
Dillinger Escape Plan - Dillinger Escape Plan

It's actually quite difficult to do it as a stream of consciousness. I started typing, one album would be the catalyst for remembering another, then I ended up with about 35 before I stopped and realised. I had to then do a quick edit. Could literally go on all day...

Strange mixture of stuff which while being a list of albums I really rate and love to listen to, most of them I haven't listened to for some time. I buy old blues records these days. A lot of them. smile

2. nerdtracker is the only real nes tool anyway.

3. mr snugg, look at it that way: what's better, a pack of kleenex or a slice of bread? depends on whether you're hungry or your nose is dripping, doesn't it?

Yeah, right on brother!

Hang on, which one is NTRQ?

Fuckin' A!

I shall expect a PM from you forthwith.

No, NTRQ is better.

It's the only one that is guaranteed to help you pick up impressionable Mario-tune-loving scene girls if you use it in your live set.

I think NTRQ is better.
