thank you thank you!!
For this one I was working in Ableton, but I just used the NES VST plugin for everything. I was trying to get a feel for the sounds before getting used to the tracker interface.
I just started using a tracker called DefleMask and yah I totally was cheating on how many channels I was using so gotta practice that a bit.
I saw yours was in Cubase (?). Are you also interested in getting into tracker stuff?
