Convert samples to 16bit 22.050kHz PCM or lower, maybe. Load them into milkytracker and set the sample quality to 8bit. tongue

Or grab some samples from this little gem: http://www.bluemoon.ee/history/scwin/ (Piano roll sample-based module sequencer). If you Insert Voice then write a note and export the song as wav the quality is better than if you export the Instrument as wav from the "View>Instruments" screen.

Boy Scout is a PC-based tracker for writing GBA songs. I have not figured it out yet, so I cannot really comment on the ease of use, etc

It only uses the DMG Legacy channels, so not what OP is looking for.

I guess the noise removal stuff works differently with Gameboys than with ukuleles and guitars and junk. Also I guess it depends on what kind of noise you are trying to get rid of and what is causing the sound. Cheers.

Noise removal adds weird artefacts that are generally worse than the noise.

There is a method for noise removal with audacity that I have found yields good results.

Don't adjust the default settings. Leave them as they are. Don't increase the noise removal level at the very least. The default setting doesn't seem to add a bunch of bad artifacts for me.

Step 1). Record noise profile track (hit record and just let it run for 3 or so seconds)
Step 2). Select the noise track as your noise profile. Hit that "Select Noise Profile" button.
Step 3). Select EVERYTHING including the noise profile track
Step 4). Effects>Remove Noise
If there is still noise:
Step 5). Select the affected noise track (which should have shrunk quite a bit) again as your noise profile
Step 6). Repeat steps 4-6 until the noise track has fallen to the desired level.

It's a very non-aggressive way of getting it down in multiple steps and cuts down on artifacts that come from more aggressive one-shot noise removal.

Edit: This is the method that I use when recording my guitar and stuff with my horrible microphone and on-board audio chip on my computer.

There seems to be a lot of not-gameboy stuff in there. Took me by surprise.

that awkward moment when i trolled better than intended.......

But it made SO MUCH sense sad 1 channel IS just one bit (small piece, NOT computational values) of music. That is why beeper music is 1 bit (one channel, essentially) GB music is 4 bit (4 channels) and Piggy can be UP TO 8 bits. Bloody hell, now I have to re-evaluate my stance on what is TRVE chip and get into discussions/arguments over how many bits is what and what is chip and what chips are my favorite flavor instead of making music without conjuring up a fucking label first. Thanks for shattering EVERYTHING!

Pro-actively fighting a battle that barely exists. smile

Also rofl at the "beeper music" reasoning.

This whole thread. *smh* what is even the point? Why do you get a kick out of this? What did it ever do to you?
I LOL'd but still...

For all intents and purposes, an "artist name" is just that. It does seem kinda messed up to just throw away relationships completely just for the sake of a new name, but w/e. Everybody has their own reasons.

It'd be kinda neat if there was simply an LSDJ version that could use the L/R buttons as start and select so you wouldn't have to mod your GBA and lose that functionality. But I guess this is not feasible.
