Pretty much.

Maybe try Piggy Tracker- if you know LSDJ already it's not too hard and you can always sample your LSDJ stuff and import it as samples into Piggy.

Looks pretty cool. I may do just that.

Sorry I didn't respond right away. I thought it'd be best to give the form time to develop.

no i meant its funny that we turned your thread into mild drama before you'd even had a chance to check back. i would suggest using ablteon live over lgpt. for the simple reason, you could record your full song parts or loops direct from the gameboy instead of sampling your LSDJ sounds as one shots and making the stuff on LGPT...... that way in ableton you have tonnes of possibilitys to add drums, extra synths, vst's or whatever. it all depends how much you want to balance the chip sounds and other electronic sounds..... thats just my preference. but i also use lgpt when im out and about because i prefer it to lsdj thesedays. I can add any samples I want, easy to have all the sine's tri's pules's and shit that your heart desires as well as lots of nice drum sounds....and eight channels. hmmm - i guess in conclusion id say both options are pretty fucking awesome.

If you don't mind using a DAW like ableton, go for it right now. I love piggy, but it depends if you want to make music on the go.

im still trying to turn people onto sunvox, its currently the only "real" tracker that has an ios and android port for your on the go needs. i personally love it, you can go straight samples or use its awesome synths to generate any chippy sounds you need.

I agree that Ableton looks great, I'm just concerned with the cost. I'm willing to pay up to $150. Live intro on the Ableton site is $74 but to get the standard Live 8 it's $337. Would you recommend intro? How many limitations would I have? Is there another site I could go to in order to get a better deal?

SoundCloud have away a version of ableton lite some time ago, that's how I know I'll be using Renoise for some time to come.

I'd love to get it for my Android tablet. It's cool that they made Sunvox an app.

definitely try sunvox before shelling out the cash for live. I find live terribly uncomfortable.

also renoise is fun and you can get comfortable with it in the free version.
