I'm having lots of trouble with this program. So far, I haven't even been able to figure out how to create a single note. So, I ask you people to help me out. I've had in mind a song that's inclusive of orchestral-sounding violins and other instruments and sound effects. So, how do I start? I have indeed checked the wiki, but it hasn't given me any instructions that I can really use. I'm pretty okay at creating music, but I just can't figure out how to use programs like these. Please help and explain it to me in the most detailed yet simple and understandable way. Picture instructions could help.
I watched/skimmed through most of the videos. However, it only shows how to make little 8bit songs. I want to know: is there any way to make an instrument that sounds like a violin or something?
If you want to make orchestral music, I don't think famitracker is the right tool for you. A midi editor and some orchestral plugins might do better. The purpose of famitracker is to make "little 8-bit song". Just sayin'
