Chiptunes!

[MintChip]

I was wondering if anyone on SWF made 8-bit music. I love the stuff. I actually make some of my own, a sample of which can be found here to give you the idea:

I do occasoionally, nothing that I'd consider releasing to the public quite yet though. (tweaking things here and there, etc.)

BTW, what VST did you use for the drums and some of the instruments that come in later on in that piece? They sound pretty good (as does the song).

The whole song is done on famitracker, the bass kick is an imported DPCM, though.

I never knew about that program, I guess I should try it out, it sounds great from what I've heard though.

it's pretty great, especially if you have an MIDI keyboard to hook into your computer. Makes things much easier.

If it's good enough for Anamanaguchi, it's good enough for me.

I use LSDJ, which is a gameboy sequencer. I don't know a whole lot about it and I've mostly learned how to work it myself so I'm not nearly on the level of most chiptune people. Sometimes I incorporate fake chiptune sounds and videogame noises into my other music projects (I can make an almost exact mimic of one of the jumping sounds in Super Mario World on my guitar :D )

I haven't used famitracker in at least a billion years. I do some things which I like to call chiptunes but they're not in classic 8-bit style.
