i wriet it in notepad, ones and zeros. that's binary you know, so it's actually one bit but if you group it right you can get eight bit

Download a DAW, and download magical 8 bit:

Open in daw, only use magical 8bit. Dunno if its technically 8-bit, but it sounds like it.

Use some tweakbench VSTi's they have some good ones. But, if you use FL, I say use Wasp.

Say again?

I said you fail at 8-bit... There is a difference between 16-bit and 8-bit... if you're going to do 8-bit do it right by rendering an 8-bit audio file...

Been meaning to try that out-

I have some experience in TFM Music Maker (the Genesis tracker), as my recent output can attest to; however, I've always wondered what this true-blue program would make my fake-bits sound like.

And I usually don't care about the whole authenticity thing of chip-tunes, but I in general prefer it if things are done closer to the source as opposed to just a filter of convenience or something. I dunno, if it sounds good I really don't care all THAT much.

Because with Tweakbench, Magic8bit, and Woolys, there's absolutely no reason to use Wasp?

Not having a reason to use it doesn't make it "bad for everything".

Using the setting in the picture, It's great for video game sounds.

Well you might as well use 3xOsc with those settings... gotta save processing power where you can if you're making music! :D

Hey, I've been fiddling with Wasp for an hour and I can't get that little red smiley at the bottom to appear. Can you help me? Thanks
