  1. What do you even want to do live? Just a piano and some singing? That can be a good act if your songs are good, or you wow people with crazy shit [PIANO DRAGONFORCE].

    If you can tell us the extent of what you want to do onstage, some of us can probably help you with the equipment you'll need to use.

    EDIT: wait a second, fuck all that shit, you say you need to practice first. Hahaha

  2. just have the game boy sounds available to me like a synth or something.

    Well if you want to use a gameboy as a hardware synth via midi, that'll take some work.

    I realize this all may be frustrating at first, for something that seems so simple! The gameboy trackers are not exactly the best thing to learn tracking on.

    Everyone who stands out in the chiptune scene knows how to track incredibly well, but if you just want the sounds to use in your normal songs, that's fine too, and you can probably get away with using a normal synthesizer and basic waveforms in any modern sequencer.

  3. Any analog synth can make Gameboy sounds.

    Kind of. I doubt most synths handle vibrato, arpeggiation, pitch shifting, noise, or whatever else the gameboy synth has the same way, all in one package. I'm sure it's possible but it's probably a bitch. Same with the NES, only you add DPCM onto that :3

    p.s. Aleksi Eeben has demo tracks for the Carillon tracker :D

  4. There are some gameboy ROM trackers available.

    Fun stuff.

    And actually, you can just emulate these... No reason to even use a gameboy. lol

    I'm sure it's possible to mod a gameboy and turn it into something like a Portable midines. That'll take a lot of electrical knowledge and patience, but when you finish you can sell the mod for monies :D

  5. Condenser mics need to be powered. They'll either have to be powered by phantom power, or will have internal batteries. With these, I hope you have a good mixer with phantom power :)

    They aren't stereo, but of course you'll have two of them, so you can record with 2 channels at the same time [at a really really low latency] and get stereo sound :D

    I'm unsure of their quality, but usually condenser mics are pretty expensive.

  6. We need to get rid of the sticky and start a new one. I'd suggest a forum for specific software, HOWEVER most music software/DAWs have their own official newsgroups or messageboards to post on, with people who actually know what they're doing. Sections for all the software here would be unnecessary.

    I would recommend using the official FL Studio forum or reading the manual.

  7. HEY YOU GUYS

    Anyone check this topic anymore? I updated my song, it's available in a password-protected .rar on doulifee's forum.

    PLEASE, PLEASE give me feedback, for the love of fucking christ shoe-polish tunafish, help me out here.

    Post your songs, too. All this inactivity is making me fearful and irritated, it looks to me as if nobody is working on this at all.

  8. I actually noticed an increase in efficiency when I turned hyperthreading off and back on again one day. It could have been that turning it off halved it into a 1.6 GHz though but on screen it didn't say that... Hell if I know anything about processors. Anyway, the whole computer basically ran like ass with HT off. The most noticeable difference was that the wav/mp3 rendering time was ridiculously faster, ALSO there were skipping and pops in the audio where previously there had been none, so the audio latency was likely affected. These are things which are independent of DAWs yet the software depends on it.

    The thing is, when you turn the HT/whatever off, the system as a whole suffers from a lowered efficiency, so I think that makes any program [whether it's optimized for dual-core or not] run slower.

    I may be "wrong" or whatever, but I experienced this so I'm either right or delusional.

    Another guess: Dual CPUs with HT turned off perform worse than a single-core at the same speed operating normally?

    I'M SMRT

  9. yousendit.com is the best if you only need your file up for a week. You can put in a bullshit email address because it's not important.

    I would stay away from any temporary hosting like ysi or rapidshare if you want reliable hosting. Rapidshare is a pain in the ass to use and yousendit only lasts a week.

    Here are some good, free, long term options:

    www.googlepages.com - 100 MB

    www.home.no - 20 MB the last I checked, but you can set up as many FTP accounts as you want :P

    www.myspace.com - 4 song limit.
