I've been making chip since 2007 and to this day I usually just use two game boys and a mixer when I play shows. Focus on making music and when your music gets to a certain level you will start to see what kinds of sound you want to add and get appropriate gear to be able to accomplish the sound you're going for.

Yea, I just really like building stuff. tongue but you're right,  I should focus on the music not the hardware.

i had just a game boy for years, you dont really need anything else and hardware tends to cost ££$$££$$

if you have a PC there are tons of free options like Goattracker, Famitracker and tons of others.

do you know of any trackers that run on ubuntu?

i don't know if it's able to run on ubuntu natively, but famitracker is pretty user-friendly.

Not natively, but it does run under Wine.  LGPT and Milkytracker will also both run natively.

Mixer itself is the best synth:

Make LSDJx1 songs until you save up enough cash for a 2-channel/4-channel mixer.

So my current plan is lsdj on a gameboy, famitracker on my little linux netbook, and then transferring those over to nes file possibly using famislayer synced with the gameboy. I just ordered the nes on ebay and it said it won't power on. I have my theories what the problem is but I won't know for sure till it arrives tongue
