How to Make 8-Bit Music With FamiTracker

In this tutorial, I will teach you how to create authentic 8-bit music with FamiTracker. While FamiTracker may seem overly complex, this step-by-step video will walk you through simple instrument creation to programming advanced ADSR envelopes and more. Additionally, I will teach you powerful concepts behind chiptune music composition and 8-bit sound design.

FamiTracker is well worth learning. Unlike other programs and plugins, FamiTracker emulates the NES/Famicom's native hardware to create chipset genuine sound. Your music can even be played by an actual Nintendo Entertainment System! So what are you waiting for? Let's get tracking!
