GameBoy Memories

By -
So if you peep my previous post I blogged about a hip hop medley that was put through an 8Bit NES sound effect and was inspired to make a mix of my own.

Thanks to Francesca for directing me to a VST plugin that allowed me to have a little fun in Ableton... I still have 8 days left on the trial so I figured why not spend my Saturday night making some remixes.

I used MIDI files of 3 popular songs with the effect on the tracks.

See if you can name that tune! (Check the comments to see if you got them right.)

Happy listening and reminiscing! (Doesn't it make you wanna go find your gameboy? Or blow on a few cartridges and shove them in your Nintendo 64?) =)

    Very cool!!

    Although I dont ever remember blowing on N64 cartridges, that was mostly NES.

    What was the VST?

Presentation Discussion

By Matt -
I figured we'd want to start a discussion for when to do our presentations. I figured we could start Friday during normal class hours and then finish up around 2. I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.
