+1 on the Sony MDR-V6s - Great headphones without the silly price tag.

arlen: Wow, that was quick! I'm looking forward to hearing your entry.
I started messing around with something last night. I didn't realize the Milkytracker GUI was quite so terrible. I also tried good ol' FT2 in DosBox but the audio seemed a bit glitchy. And I've never used IT... XD

Cool! I only just found out about this - I might give it a go. :]
But, man, 32kb is tiny!

Re: Recording with good sound quality (15 replies, posted in Audio Production)
Hmm... Is there really much of a whine sound from a pro-sound DMG? I don't remember it being a big problem and usually when your track is playing it can't be heard at all. A Gameboy Color on the other hand... :S I also agree with Victory Road, noise removal tools can remove bits of the actual waveform that give your music it's specific sound, so I'd avoid those.

Well, it might not be authentic but at least it will be "pro"!

Hey Monkeymook, old thread, I know, but I've been taking a hiatus from chipmusic.org. I'm flattered that you're going to the effort of ripping the tfc files from the binary, but you could have just asked me to send them to you.

Looks like an amazing tracker! I can't believe I'm so late to the party! Just a question, does anyone know what the minimum system requirements are? Would this be usable on a Win98 Pentium II for example?

@akira: I know this is old now, but did you manage to improve the sound of your sinewave sample? If not, perhaps you could ask cTrix. He has done heaps of sampling and tracking on the A500 and A1200.

Re: Best Audio mod for the Genesis (16 replies, posted in Sega)
First of all, I think your complaint about the sound being more or less "computery" is a bit odd. What are you expecting exactly? This is a digital synth chip in a video game console, not a state-of-the-art professional analogue synthesizer.
Secondly, I'm not positive about this, but I was under the impression that some of the noise comes from the poor quality DACs inside the YM2612, which you can't change. Actually, it seems this is the case. Have a look on wiki.
I think CCAM actually bypasses the amp and filter section as a better sounding equivalent.
For me, the inherent noise, though it's really a design flaw, is part of the sound character of the synth.
Finally, TFM does supported panning. I've used it for every track I made in it.

Re: What happen to VGM Music Maker? (70 replies, posted in Sega)
I consider TFM Module Maker and the VGM version the best FM trackers for music for the Sega Megadrive / Genesis. I don't mind at all about the cessation of development. In terms of simplicity, user interface and usable features there is nothing as good. It is very quick and easy to learn to use and allows a lot of experimentation with parameters to create new sounds. It even allows export of the data so you can play your music on the real hardware, without a computer; this is something that GenMDM can't do as it relies on computer control via MIDI. GenMDM is for realtime whereas with TFMMM you can make tunes that you can share with others who can then play them on their hardware.
So thank you for your work Shiru, very much appreciated! You have my respect.

Re: Renoise thread (34 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
Agreed! Renoise is ace and as far as making chipmusic with it, VSTs are definitely not neccesary, plus it's a lot more fun if you don't use them.
