you should do more famitracker work!  why is this not a reality?

here's an ftm file when I had a go at learning Famitracker a couple of years back.  tbh if you've used other trackers it seems really easy to switch over.  The effects list is practically the same as Pro/Fast/Milky/Goattracker and the volume channel commands are straight out of FastTracker. (being one of the few chips where volumes can be directly changed without having to have an envelope set up)   If you've done any GB music the instrument setup should be pretty familiar, after all the GB chip is just a cutdown 2a03 anyway.  I used the add-on VCR6 on this, but working with that is just like doing chipmods.

my bad dogg thanks for correcting me.

OHC has been deprecated.  We say OHB.  I guess it's because we're not #mod_shrine.  ONE HOUR BATTLE.

Yeah, lurk the BOTB IRC channel and you'll be in line for the One Hour Compo, or OHC as they are called.

Hey, no, there is nothing wrong on don't undestand the manual. I personally dont undestand few things in the manual. That's why IRC is always welcome for that kind of stuff...

Anyway, let us know how is your progress and if you have the IRC on, show your progress there or in the famitracker forum, you will probably recieve more feedback there than in this forum.

Btw, in case you wanna practice/learn more and more, another good way of learning is by doing OHCs. These are the best way to practice in my opinion.

yeah i understand that you're not trying to be mean.  you are giving good advice.  but asking questions is part of the learning process in addition to reading the manual and experimenting.

that's true.  but i guess i don't see that as such a bad thing.  sometimes people prefer to have a conversation to figure stuff out.  i personally don't mind answering people's questions because i enjoy talking about certain things. 

i did follow the manual.  the pitch settings weren't turning off/were staying stuck detuned.  besides, why would it be wrong to not understand the manual?

I know that sound like an ass, but been honest with you, i have done the same youre doing right now. Asking things that can be easly awnsering by reading the manual or just in case of extremely lame/lazzy, joining the IRC channel and ask to anyone around.

What im saying is, practice more, ask less XD... that's all.... and please... i'm the kind of n00bs... just don't take it like that, if you cant find the anwser in the manual or just dont undestand what the manual says... go to the IRC channel

Of course, another good advice as my men B00daw said. Open a FTM and check how ppl do music and instruments, because that help a lot. Hopes that clarify what im trying to say, even with my bad english

the problem is you're asking questions that could easily be answered by, again, reading the manual / effects list, or just practicing and experimenting.

asking questions to a group of people that should know about programming this tracker is not looking for a magic solution.  this community is a very logical place to be asking these questions.  i'm really not liking the attitude.  i've been doing music for a long time and i started on tracker programs so i think this "ur a noob" stuff is really uncalled for.

maybe you should give me the benefit of the doubt here.  i'm not a stupid person.  and even if i had made a mistake there's no reason to act like that.

i suspect that it wasn't resetting to default.

i have the best advice..... READ THE MANUAL
If after that, you have questions, join the irc famitracker channel.
THERE'S NOT a magic way of learning, it requier time, dedication and practice. The more you practice, the more you know.

Conceptually, you can think of an "instrument" like a macro of a ton of commands you only have to enter the one time, because they are default every time you use that instrument setting in the tracker.

Also, if you are all up on that IRC, you can check out #FamiTracker on EsperNet.
