Do people even use DOS on a regular basis anymore?

Oh god... the ZX spectrum pallette. So bright!

Daaaamn! That IS really cheap.

4mat, I couldn't really get that SID sound out of the saw-tooth waveform trick. All I really got was what seemed like just a 2 note chord tongue.

Care to link to a good example?

I can make anything sound like the devil ate it and spat it back out.

Maybe it's because there are stupid kids trying to be "cool" and "hip" in this scene.

I dunno. That sometimes pisses me off but usually I'm too lazy to write a spiteful post.

My number 1 suggestion to you is to learn how to make your own waveforms. It's really handy, especially with drums.

Milkytracker has a waveform generator. Set the sample size to like 64 (that's the size I usually stick with.) then right click, go to Generators (I think?) and you can select Saw, Sine, Square, and Noise. For square is only gives you a 50% wave. If you want something else just make it less of a square and more of a rectangle.

Also, you don't need cool samples, you just gotta know how to make the simple ones sound cool. i.e. combining waveforms and junk.

Just mess around with things. Oh, and MilkyTracker and Famitracker are COMPLETELY different. Famitracker is for making NES music. Just sayin.

I say we all go to his house and just stand there and wait until he hands us all MIDINES'.

I was thinking about ordering one a year ago but jeez, this guy is such a bad businessman. It's just not worth the hassle.

I remember B00daW telling me about Theta before. I could never get an emulator running right haha. I have no experience with old ataris!

RMT seems pretty neat though! Totally forgot about it.

I'm down as long as MilkyTracker is fine to use.

It seems like a nice idea, but how do you pick out the "best tunes"?

TFM Maker was made for the Turbo FM mod for ZX Spectrum.

It can only do FM. Having just FM is pretty lame considering the Genesis could also do PSG and PCM.
