Milky is also pretty good, but as ant1 said, try many different formats/types and decide which one suits you.

With regards to your 2nd question, I've only ever used Famitracker so my opinion will obviously be biased. I guess it's a choice between whether I prefer the Gameboy or the NES; I think I'd go with the "smoother" sound of the NES.

but most of all i recommend trying to work out what works best for you without worrying about what people on a forum think you "should" do.

here some random selection of trackers to get you started

klystrack
renoise
chibitracker
protrekkr
buzz

have fun

i'm the worst at explaining this stuff

I was wondering, I know of LSDJ and Famitracker for producing chiptune, but I wanna make chiptune with drums that aren't 8bit. Are there any programs you can recommend then? Or should I simply make the song on LSDJ or Famitracker and then import it to another program to add the drums and such?

Also, which is better: LSDJ or Famitracker?
