    About Chiptune / 8 Bits music

    Well, if anyone is interested (I think I'm alone) HERE is a good link I've found that explains some things, like they basically needed to learn to program.

    Still I have the question, if you want to replicate the same sounds..? You need to fake them probably using a synthesizer and I think is like "cheating" some way :neutral:

    Wow, that's a really cool post & information (Alberto Gonzales writing his own tracker-style tool.. on ZX Spectrum.. for 8-bit Nintendo music..)

    If you want to make NES-sounding music, you know that FamiTracker is built on NES emulation so that's fairly authentic. :) The music can be run on actual NES or Famicom hardware (see some renders here).

    Thanks for this! Diskotanssi der Doden & Shovel's Lament don't use the boss battle tracks (The Apparition & The Bounty Hunter), but the stage themes (A Thousand Leagues Below, Lich Yard). I added the stage themes on MusicBrainz, but I seem unable to remove the incorrect relationships..?

    (also funnily enough I seem to have registered an unused MusicBrainz account in 2006, but unfortunately I cannot recall what e-mail address I might have used.. not one that I have access to anymore, alas..)

    OCR music authorization for videos

    Sounds like you're covered by OCR's content policy? Though I think we're still in the grey area, since technically you don't have the permission from the copyright holders of the original compositions? I'm putting question marks here because ... you're the one studying this matter and can tell us :D (to me OCR sounds like a good case for internet copyright student project..)

    Anyway, you have my explicit permission to use my VGM arrangements that have been released through OCR. :)

    Music theory/ear training help

    Well, I've always enjoyed your PRC entries, your SF2 Drive track and others, and always thought you have a recognizable sound to your music, so I'd definitely say keep going, keep going. =)

    But yeah, I've too felt for a long time getting more into music theory would be immensely helpful for me, so I can relate to that I guess. Ear-training, I can heartily recommend just trying to transcribe compo stuff by ear. When it comes to VGM arranging (especially in this community), since you don't need to get everything down how it was in the original, I've figured just getting a part of the source figured out and expanding & differentiating from there is enough. I think I've gotten a lot more accurate and faster the more I've done it. Transcribing something that plays in my head has become easier too.

    What was the first video game song you learned to play?

    from Final Fantasy 4 on the piano. Not the fast arpeggio though. I found a tracker module of the piece and was inspired to pick out the notes from there (this was maybe around 1998 ).

    I believe that module was my first encounter with VGM arrangements, along with a detailed FastTracker II treatment of the airship theme from FF6. I didn't yet get an inspiration to do my own VGM arrangements back then though.

    I can't really play any VGM musics, even my own arrangements I record a few bars of the time so I couldn't play through them. :tomatoface:
