Thanks again for your replies.  More interesting options to consider.

Yes, the recordings I've done so far aren't necessarily pure chiptune as I used lofi bitcrushed drum samples on a couple and reverbs etc.  It's hard to let go of those aural sweeteners!  ha

One thing that will probably be decisive is how easy/intuitive it is to tweak sounds.  The workflow in the Minibit plugin is very intuitive and it's easy to tweak to taste pretty quickly.  I have some time off work over Christmas to dive in to the unknown!

Thank you both for your replies.  I will definitely be looking deeper into this over the Christmas period.  It looks like an interesting/challenging set of advantages and disadvantages.  If it proves not to my taste, then I'll carry on with Minibit.  Out of all the chipsets I've heard, the SID excites my taste buds the most!  Maybe it has something to do with my young childhood playing on my Commodore 64!

Hi all

This is my first post, so apologies if it's on the wrong topic of the forum.

I've been recording live rock music for most of my life and now getting into producing chipmusic renditions of baroque music.  I'm quite well-versed in using DAW software so played with Audiothing Minibit to produce the following recordings...

Vivaldi - Winter (Largo) - YOUTUBE
Bach - Violin Concerto in E Major (Allegro) - YOUTUBE


I had fun making them and now interested in going for a more authentic approach.  What are the main advantages/disadvantages I would expect from approaching usage of a tracker given my background?

Many thanks
Chipbacher
