If you are used to working in a DAW, working with LSDJ may be a little strange for you to transition into.  I've only recently started learning how to compose with trackers myself (I came from a DAW background) and what really helped me make the transition was FamiTracker.  The interface with trackers all seem to be similar, but having the ability to work out the kinks and learn the ropes on a computer that emulates the hardware before venturing outside the comfort of using my PC has made it a lot easier to transition into.

I think I'll go hide in a corner now.

No.........
Aaaaand now I feel like a dum-dum.

Thanks for that smile

So my first DMG mod has taken longer than I thought it might, but I ironed out all the major kinks.  However, one strange occurrence remains:
When the unit is powered on, if the backlight is switched on (I wired in a mini-rocker), the power indicator LED switches off--and vice-versa.  Without having the ability to take any pictures (or at least ones that would be of value), are there any veterans familiar with these circumstances?  If so, shed some light on the noob, pleeeeease. smile

Good lord this is beautiful!

How are you planning on creating these panels?  In the extreme close-ups, I'm lead to believe you're using foamcore, but what are you going to be using for the finished product?

Oooooh!  Yes please!  Muchas gracias.
I'm quite new to tracker composition so I'll have a rocky start, but it'll be worthwhile.

My electronic/chip project, Automatic Chance, is from the Seattle area, but we haven't been active in a while for financial reasons.  I still make chip music (and a whole slew of other things) under the name One Winged Angel.

This marks my first Fami Tracker composition (so no egg-throwing, please).
Trackers are really different than what I'm used to, but I think I've still preserved my own style while cooking up some fresh sounds.

Hope you all enjoy!

Waaaaah...
Want all three so bad...
Once again, why must I be so broke?

Any photos of your install? If it's in the "normal" place, and you used a socket with a plug switch, I imagine imagine your switch ponds are touching the cap legs. That'd heat it up pretty good!

Ooooooohhhhh...  That might just be the problem.  I was actually having trouble getting everything to fit.  I bent them (the capacitors) back around as I've noticed lots of people have done in the past, but it's a strong possibility that they're butting heads with the jack.

Unfortunately, I don't have a way to take pics right now, but when I can, I shall.

I swear I remember seeing a similar post a while back, but can't find it for the life of me (nor do I remember what conclusions were drawn).

I just installed an 1/8" prosound jack and noticed that after having the unit powered on for 5 or so minutes, the entire area surrounding the jack becomes quite warm.  Has anyone else had this happen?  Should I be concerned?  Is this normal?

It would also help to have studio monitors or studio headphones, so you get a clearer sound rather than the sound of consumer headphones.

Just going to play the devil's advocate here and point out that some producers insist on using consumer-grade headphones for all their mastering because they intend for the work to be heard by those type of headphones.  Just catering to their audience.

I personally use studio headphones and monitors and try to test the quality of my work on various systems (i.e. through my crappy car stereo) so that I know my work translates well across various audio setups.

You sure it's not the wires that are bad?

No, actually!  I don't have any spare wires on hand.  Are there any other alternatives to testing them besides swapping out ones which are guaranteed to work?  I tried a multimeter already.  That would be good news if it's only faulty wires.

I did try to swap the wires at first now that you mention it.  The wires were orange and black with the black wired to positive and orange to negative.  I didn't want to get confused since I'm used to black representing negative so I de-soldered them, swapped them, and re-soldered them.

On another note (one which doesn't necessarily have to get addressed in this thread), I installed the other backlight and a 1/8" pro sound mod tonight, got the backlight working fine (with a switch) and the pro sound jack produces sound.  However...  Everything is really quiet and the speaker emits no noise now.  Is that common?
