So hey, I figured why not make a thread for this, if we're going to continue making songs at our current rate in Famitracker. For those of you who don't know, Famitracker is an app that allows you to build NES-style songs from scratch. It's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. So far, I've only done covers, and random bits of silly effects and percussion loops and stuff.
I have two full covers done thus far.
The first one was pretty much just practice, so in retrospect it wasn't done all that well, but here it is. "Kraid's Lair," from Metroid.

The second is much, MUCH better: a full cover of the Elec Man stage theme from the first Mega Man game.

the videos are unfortunately rather quiet, i'll fix that later though. for now, just turn your volume up.
anyone got an idea for a song to cover next? any good nes songs, really. i might try some game boy stuff in the near future too, using the vrc6 or whatever mod to add extra channels (the game boy actually had better sound capabilities than the nes, with more channels).
i'm hoping to get a larger original piece done sometime soon, too. can't wait. hocuspocus;
First one, unfinished:

Just got this protip:
Go into file->coniguration and then sound, and set it to 8-bit, which sounds more authentic. Also 48kHz sample rate just for better quality sound.

There really isn't much more to say unless you want me to explain how it works.
