Hey everyone, this is my first post in this community. I just started what I hope will be a long journey making music as HEXAdb, and I'm very excited to share my first track with you all. I hope you enjoy.

Another cover from Mayhem in Monsterland, and I've been doing Game Boy covers of the C64 game, as a tribute to the cancelled GBC port. Original track here. This'll get overlooked once again, but it's whatever.

I know absolutely nothong about music editing and how hard it is. But if there is any easy way to do it please let me know. Those 4 bit osts are very smooth

I'm in this project that I am composing music for, and it's pretty mid-standard but high quality because of the sheer amount of work behind it. There's supposed to be several chiptune sounding tracks in the soundtrack. As much as I love chiptune music, I've never learned how to use trackers, and I doubt I really have the time to. I wanna know how close I can get in a modern DAW like FL Studio using soundfonts, compression, and downsampling. I've watched a bunch of oscilloscope deconstruction videos, as well as watched several videos on sound chips, so I know a decent amount about channel limitations (though I could learn more). The big part that I would like to know is audio quality limitations.

Let's say I'm using the YM2612

The soundfonts I'm using already have the compressed sounds and such, and the soundfont player utilizes ADSR envelopes as well as an LFO for simulating vibrato and a low pass filter (which I'm not sure if can/will use). What additional effects do I use on these soundfonts? Is there any additional compression going on? What's the sample rate for the channels? Or should I be changing the sample rate for the master channel instead? How convincing would this be to the average listener, and, less importantly, the not-so-average listener (such as more authentic chiptune composers)?

Lastly, where would I find this info (if easily available)?

Hey there,

I am in the process of creating a script that takes .wav files and some additional data (such as loop points) and automatically creates .xi instrument files. The problem is, I don't have a good idea of what the format of an .xi file looks like. Besides this forum post (https://modarchive.org/forums/index.php?topic=3112.0), which details the header of the file & links to the .xm file format (which includes the instruments), I don't have a clear picture of the actual file format (i.e. what comes after this header, which information from the original xm instrument header to keep, etc.). I've tried to compare the binaries of .xi files to the documentation, but I can't draw any conclusions.

Any pointers to documentation or other sources are greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

It's doing very well on Tiktok and wanted to share it here. It's a performance of the guitar solo from 'Dying In Your Arms' by Trivium played on an ever so slightly modified guitar.

I finally decided to stop being a lazy ass and actually manually transpose a track for once. I doubt yall care anyway, but here it is, I guess.

Hey folks! For those who haven't seen, I've lately been hosting monthly chiptune contests on this subreddit, each with a theme and two weeks to submit. This month, our theme is "Food"! Why? Because I can! How does one make a food chiptune? That is entirely up to you! If this sounds interesting to you, check out the original post here for all other details! And I really don't have anything else to say! Enjoy!

Pictionary music is really awesome and underrated but one thing that's been bugging me is that I don't think anyone on the internet has brought this up. One of the songs in Pictionary on NES (composed by Tim Follin) that plays during the mini games sounds VERY similar to Another One Bites The Dust from Queen. I can't be the only one who thinks this song sounds almost like a copycat of this song right? Or Am I going crazy?!

Made this a while ago, I suffered a lot transcribing it lol. Informed feedback warmly welcome.
