I covered Gravity Falls theme song on LSDJ. Used this as an interlude last year at Boston Bitdown and decided to extend it and have a bit of fun with the theme.

I made a tutorial for how to chop drumbreaks and make them sound okay and play at the correct BPM in #LSDJ

I've never done a tutorial video so hopefully it's not too rough :P
Hopefully someone finds this useful.

Hey #chipsky
Here's a new gameboy tune. Vocals, synths, drums all playing in LSDJ because I am a crazy person lol.
Also, this is sort of a lyric video? Is this the first ever Gameboy Lyric video?

Playing Earthborne Rangers!
I've been interested in this game for quite a while and got it for Christmas. I'm only on day 2 of the campaign and still figuring out the rules but it's intriguing so far.

I wrote and recorded an album of bad Christmas music on my Tascam Portastudio 414 this week. #amiga500 was used for drums and synth sounds, plus guitars, bass, piano, etc.
These are *dumb* songs but were fun to record.

Back to working on my next gameboy release!
Now 2xLSDJ so I can get that deep bass sound at the same time as my Way Too Many Sample Kits. XD
Think it's sounding pretty cool.

I got a new #guitarpedal today. @eaezone.bsky.social Halberd.
The Longsword is my favorite pedal for distortion and I have been looking for something more midgain. I am really digging this pedal so far. It has an openness and clarity I can't coax out of the Longsword, which excels at crunch.

Jamming on some city pop-inspired #amiga sounds with a lil #chiptune thrown in and some 80s synthwave-type snare sounds. Sort of a hodge-podge lol.
I think the vibe is there at least.

I have finished an #Amiga MOD! I also completed my Amiga setup with a sweet monitor haha.
I'm really enjoying ProTracker and the whole sort of duscy Amiga sound. Like #chiptune and #vaporwave had a baby.

Saxophone sounds pretty tasty as crunchy 8-bit samples on the Amiga!

After a week and a half of not having any idea what I'm doing, I finally have something going in ProTracker 2 for the Amiga that doesn't sound like hot garbage lol.
Still don't know what half of the commands do, but I'm digging the Amiga sound.
