For whom the chip beeps
Got
Nanoloop a few months ago, it is without a doubt the best software out there for gameboy musicians. I haven't devoted the time I should to get the best results out of it. Just playing around with the synths, filters and sequencers I can see how much powerful fun I'm holding in my hands.
When I confirmed that Nanoloop would work on the
Nintendo DS, I traded in my
GBA SP and upgraded to a DS. The most interesting title I've got for that is called "
Electroplankton" from Japan. It's a really intuitive piece of software for making sounds and atmospheres, it's not a game as there are no goals as such, just to create abstract sounds and beats.
I've had a lot of success with
Reason 3.0 recently. The new
mastering equipment is great. Produced a remix of a (maybe) well-known 80's track that I was getting increasingly pleased with and a few other snips of possible tracks. An "oops" meant I lost them all, add to that the
other recent major data-loss I'm still in the middle of dealing with means I'm not a happy puppy.
