• Looking for information about nes music.....

  Broadly speaking, most would compose on actual instruments, notate on staff paper, and then program the audio chip instructions manually, in Music Macro Language, or using a custom utility developed by the musician or studio. Tracker programs became available starting with the Amiga platform in the late 1980s, but most trackers were still written specifically for the hardware the program ran on. Today, NES...

• any tips for nes style chiptunes?

  You can use a program like FamiTracker (tracker-style interface) or FamiStudio (midi/piano-roll-style interface) which reproduce the NES's limitations and can export .nsf files which you can play back on an actual NES or emulator. Source: about 1 year ago

• lsdj and m8 chiptune synthesis resources

• Any good chiptune tutorials for modern software?

  If you really want to replicate the sound of chiptune then your easiest route is using software designed specifically for the job.

• I wanna compose video game music...where do I start?

  I'm aiming for a specifc and (hopefully) easier type of music: retro video game music: the bleeps and bloops of old games or even games inspired by old games like the soundtrack to Undertale for example. Not only is it fitting with the 2D games I make, but no lyrics and having such a controlled envioment seems like a good place to start. I have Famitracker which is free software for making NES styled (8 BIT)... Source: over 2 years ago
