2 x LSDJ vs 1 x LSDJ (Page 8 of 9)

I would add that a second LSDJ is much, much cheaper than an Avalon 747.

Or pretty much any outboard compressor, really. 

Don't get me wrong, I respect you and I think your music is amazing, but your suggestion completely misses the point a lot of us use a second DMG for.  I might not be able to afford a compressor or a rack-EQ, but I *can* afford a second game boy.

Just sayin'.

Yeah, but I don't even have a laptop I could use live, haha.

You can get a alesis compressor far cheaper than most of the modded dmgs you see on this forum.

I actually started out using 2xLSDJ because at first I assumed 4 channels would be too limiting; then when I started learning more I realized one DMG is enough for most everything I want to do. It is nice to be able to have triangle wave bass and drums samples going simultaneously sometimes though, especially for more straightforward pop/rock songs as opposed to dance beats. But if the Game Boy had separate DPCM and triangle channels like the NES, I don't think I'd ever bother with 2xLSDJ.

How could i get you wrong? Yeah ofcourse you have a point. But I didn't mean to be all nazi about what compressor to use. What I was trying to say was, mearly routing your kick out seperatly from the gameboy and treat it with whatever you want is a good alternative to using 2 gameboys. As an example, for a long long time I used a Alesis modFX smashup and you can get those for 20 bucks off ebay nowdays. really inexpensive, small portable compressor. Even smaller than a DMG.  Don't have sidechain though but if judging by a price to sound ratio, this is the most priceworthy compressor I have ever used. a Smashup on the samplechannels on an Atari STE is like a "go sell your SP1200 and gtfo" in the face

also, the DBX 163 is a very good small portable and inexpensive alternative. but seriously, just some EQing from any dj-mixer could make that squarewave kick just as good as any wave channel kick.
