Cold Static (LSDJ chiptune on Gameboy Light)

A quick preview of a post-rock-ish track I've been working on the past three days. LSDJ running on a Gameboy Light. The audio was recorded in Ableton and then layered over the video.

Hey, are you using a delay effect? If so, did you get it through Ableton or LSDJ itself? Either way, it sounds great.

@DreamTK I have some delay programmed into some of the instruments (its more of an echo type effect than a delay - just retriggering the envelope) but I also added a bit of delay and compression in Ableton.

didnt know about the sound difference, but i would probably prefer the sound in the original gameboy, its louder and clearer in games generally.

Well, for games the sound differences are not altogether important or noticable, but for making music, it's nice to have a variety of "instruments" with different tonal qualities at your disposable. The classic DMG is generally considered to have the best all around sound, but for an edgy post-rock song like this, I think the Game Boy Light seems to have lent a really cool quality that works well with the genre and the song.
