Re: CC: Using 2xLSDJ to Make Atmospheric Music (2 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)

I liked it! It feels very open and atmospheric, the noise channel work and arpeggios do well for that. Compositionally, it feels a little stagnant. It would've been cool to see those long, drawn out chords repurpose themselves in some way during the 2nd half. All things considered, nice work dude ^_^

IMHO just listen to everything, regardless of genre, because it will open you up to new sounds and at this stage that's really important
edit: VVV oh yeah that reminds me, Abandoned On Fire!

Definitely agree w/ urbster about listening to everything regardless of genre (also ayyy thanks for the s/o ), which you'll notice the list I came up with has exactly that: a little bit of everything.

Finally, you know what... fuck it, shameless plug

Why no Game Gear trackers out there? Seems with GG overdrive and GG backlight kits this handheld would be a prime candidate for some cool music software.

there is MOD2PSG, Deflemask, and the SN76489 mod of 0CC-Famitracker that Hertzdevil made. But even so, (echoing what catskill stated) the chip is extremely limited in its capabilities tho, so ehh.

Re: 3/4 Timing with just Groove? (16 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

Yeah, I'm also confused. Messing with groove affects swing, but you're talking about time signatures? Just use the H command and make life easy.

This. Also you can use Groove like you would the F cmnd in Famitracker, to control the speed, which is generally what I do. but yeah just use H in your phrase for 3/4 time, so much easier.
