PCM the "normal" way to store audio, where the height of the wave is sampled at x times per second and represented by an x-bit number. And DMC (DPCM) the way a NES stores audio, which is something like the gradient of the wave stored as a 1-bit number (either "up" or "down"), I think.
You'd have to have dmc files if you wanted to use them in famitracker (well I think famitracker has its own converter but this one is definitely better), ppmck, etc.
anyone who wrote a piece of software for making chip music with 
i think a massive part of the "identity" of the "scene" (difficulty wording that) comes from the This spam will soon be deleted tools, the not using FL studio, the micromusic "fuck pro-tools" sentiment (not that i have anything at all against people who do).
also all the people who run websites, labels, shows, etc... people putting a lot of effort into helping other people enjoy it
there are a couple of people who make me mad but i'm sure i make more than a couple of people mad myself... and they're probably lovely offline

This is the "Chinese Whiskers" compilation, volume one, organised at the 8bc.org forums. Inspired by the children's game "Chinese Whispers", where a message is passed through a series of whispers and ending up as something completely different, it's a series of covers - the second song is a cover of the first, the third a cover of the second, and so on.
The artists who contributed songs were (in order): Zomvor, Cartoon Bomb, Codice!, Sukie, ant1, *E, Jophish, Austin, Guardia, his8, Beverage, Mahamajama, µB, We The Sick, Je Mappelle, FearofDark, Awesome Force, Whitely, Apricorn and We_Navigate. The artwork was by *E. Thanks to everyone who participated.
Hopefully we'll see a volume two (if there's enough people), so if you're interested, get over to 8bc.org and hang about the forums until we get it together.
Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy it,
ant1
We spent a while on this at 8bc. Enjoy! 
8bc is not working right now.
there is a website linked in the first post. what are you going to follow, though? it's finished
it seems almost too good to be true, but def have my fingers crossed on this project
I think it's finished. Don't hold your breath for anything which actually resembles Cubase in any way/shape/form.
the only thing wrong with famitracker is that you don't know how to use it
sorry 
Are there any good ST emulators? That's always an option.
there's a good ST emulator but I don't know if it'd be able to do anything special it would need to do to hook up to the FB01
This isn't the first time I've seen a post like this... a while back someone said something similar about "hanny" and I was like who the hell is hanny?
Are you talking about hally? I think you might be. I should have used him as an example since he's even more well known and seems to release even less. If you were joking then good job, you made me smile. 
oh
he should have started more threads
apparently you should just wait a few years and then give new members unhelpful comments and criticize them for asking innocent questions 
i think that your music will probably market itself if it's good enough.
e.g. peeR (i think that's the right capitalization) who didn't "release" anything and just had a bunch of mp3s in a folder online, but still managed to get fairly well known anyway
tony thai who doesn't start threads here or 8bc and doesn't release EPs at 8bitpeoples, but still everyone knows who he is
so the best tactic is probably to make some special music and then hide it somewhere that you think someone might stumble across it. you could also try starting threads when you make albums, putting links to your songs around, etc, i don't think it'd hurt unless it's to an extreme where people think you're a spammer.
If you don't even know what it's for, why are you considering buying one? xD
Seems like accelerators are the prosound mod of the amiga, heheh.
