[OCR01528 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Scrambled Eggman"]

You guys really know how to thrash. Any OCR ReMix as heavy as that has my regard.

[Pokémon: The Missingno Tracks - History]

I can submit my rendition of Lavender Town within a week for this project. Basically anything goes?

[Some writing help]

It's a good start. A cool way to start off with a song is composing on a piano (analog or electronic). Writing melodies on that is easier than the guitar, as you have easier access to all the notes, but you can always add upon it when you take it to the guitar itself. Striking up inspiration is as simple as listening to other songs, usually paying attention to nothing but the guitar. Above all else, when it's like a chore and it's too hard to write anything, take a break and try later. Writing music should flow easily without any problems, so it's a natural kind of thing. It should never be taken like a chore or if you're frustrated with it.

Okay okay. I know I overreact to these kind of things.

I realize FamiTracker is using a very old interface, but that's pretty close to how people made NES music in the first place or at least, that's how it was made on computers.

I also realize some of you aren't really aiming for authenticity and that's FINE, I just don't want to hear it when you're done ( ¯_>¯)

The outcome can easily be compared to some NES chiptunes and then adjusted with an EQ if authenticity is a goal.

[Composing NES music]

It's easier and more convenient then learning a program that looks like it's from the early 90s. I merely gave another option, as there's plenty of different methods for getting NES sounds.

The NES soundfont replicates the square waves near flawlessly without having to learn FamiTracker's ridiculous layout and functions. Trust me on this.

You can substitute regular MIDI soundfonts for it, or you can use it in FruityLoops via Fruity Soundfont Player.
