LSDJ Tutorial

Before the Pandemic, I once saw Chipzel play Bit Bash and it was phenomenal. Since I don’t really know much about writing chiptune music, I did some research and found out she uses Little Sound Dj (LSDJ) for some of her more recent stuff. And also a longgggg time ago I messed around MilkyTracker. So I don’t really know what the point of this post is other than to post some resources and reflect openly about how I want to write video game music. Should I compose it like I’d compose for a music theory class? Should I record some instrumental licks and go from there? I have no idea what I’m doing haha

  • Download Little Sound Dj https://www.littlesounddj.com
    • Currently messing with BGB as my emulator
  • Milky Tracker https://milkytracker.org
    • I didn’t need a Gameboy emulator when I used it but the interface is similar to other Chiptune programs
  • Flat https://flat.io
    • I used to use Sibelius and Finale way back in the day but this is basically the modern version of that
