Tracking / Questions about chiptune samples
« on: July 20, 2009, 22:16:17 »
*Apologies if I'm in the wrong section; this seemed the most relevant board*
I've written chiptune music using DAW software for a while now, but I'm still fairly new to trackers. I'm going away for a few days, and I've got Nitrotracker loaded on my DS, but I'm at a loss with regards to finding chiptune samples. For starters, is it easiest to export my own samples as WAV, or is it best to find them online? (although I have no idea where to look) Second, if I'm sampling a chiptune waveform, is it best to sample and loop a single wave, or, say, a 3-second snippet?
Thanks for any help, sorry if I could phrase my question better.
