Well, if we havent been blown to smithereens or turned into meta-humans where we can compose music with our minds, i guess so.
im actually going to rewrite a song, the first LSDJ song i ever made.

Topic: That dark box on Week 51 (18 replies, posted in General Discussion)
You all realize its coming by real soon right? I wonder what it holds? Apart from a certain calendar destroying us all (good on you calendar, you jerk) OR taking to a new level of consciousness where we can talk to starfish or fly or walk on rainbows or something.
Im going to take a guess and say that maybe there will be a WB compilation and that everybody who stuck it out will get an opportunity to submit their favorite track for the rest of the world to hear. Could be wrong but guess we wont know till then.
p.s Unless of course someone has already pointed out the significance of that box already, then disregard this message.

I had a track like that once. BPM was at max and lot of stuff going on at the same time (with tables for example). On a DMG-01, it would slow down a lot and then catch up to the tempo accelerating like hell. Playing the same track on a GBA SP? No issue! (Now if someone knows how to get a good sound on a GBA SP, please reach out to me!).
Maybe it has something to do with the tempo, most of the songs im writing are around the 210BPM and those are the songs that are being affected. Although i had one song at about 245BPM and i had no problem, but after that any other song i have written at a high BPM would act funny.
I tried putting my Game Boy Color through this Mini Kaoss Pad that i own and pushed it through the Hard Limiter, that kinda work.

Have you tried the same song on any other Game Boys? On a Color or an Advance?
I've made some songs that have a shit ton going on and make it hard to move the cursor while playing, but never that or crashing or anything.
Yeah my GBC and GBA are fine. Just the GBB (Game Boy Brick)

Topic: LSDJ Problem (7 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I dont know where to ask about this so i'll ask here.
Lately when i've been playing my LSDJ tracks on my original Game Boy in Song mode, it seems to have a habit of slowing down and freezing up the interface and when it unfreezes it speeds up real quick. I only use the original Game Boy to record so this is a bit of an issue. Would it be because i have too many compositions on my LSDJ cartridge or is it just too much stuff happening for the Game Boy to handle? Is it just a unique problem with my particular Game Boy? I dont have this problem on any other of my Game Boys, just the brick one.
Thanks.

Thanks CTrix. I'll try out changing synths live. That should be fun. And rearranging blocks too.
My parents found a Commodore when i was 10, but they got rid of it. If i had known it was a Commodore and that it was capable of making sweet music, i would have kept it. *sigh*

I suppose a small console mixer is a start, maybe some effect units like the Kassiolator or a loop pedal, and eventually a 2nd gameboy to spice some of my compositions up, but besides that im at a loss. Any help would be cool. Danke.
Nah man, you really just have to work on your scowl and head bobbing technique.. that's all there is to it.
hmmm, just like i already do in my grindcore band.

Yes, LSDJ. i should of made that clear.
MIDI sync would be interesting, its something i havent explored yet.
And i considered playing guitar with my game with that surfchip song i did earlier, so maybe i'll just expand on that. But it may need some vocals too which isn't my strong point..geting offtrack.
Cheers homie.

Spooked and I did that last week and we each uploaded a different version of the song
it would be cool to be able to upload a single track as two different peoples weekly beat but im not sure if that goes against the intentions of weekly beats
Thats given me a good idea. We'll just make two alternate compositions instead of one and we'll both put up the one that features either me and the one that features my mate more.
Danke

Topic: Collaborations (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)
So....how does one put up a collaboration up here with another fellow Weeklybeater? I suppose we just put up the same song on our own profiles and thats that, but if there is a super secret and awesome way to do it that I am yet to be aware of, please inform me.
On the monday after the next one, i'll be doing a power electronics funtime jam with Orinoco while he has fun with guitar feedback.
