8-Bit Music

[Duora Super Gyro]

I need some help with my music for my stages, just a few questions.

Where do u get ur music?
How do u get it to reapeat perfectly?
Do you guys use anything to edit the music?

Can you please answer these questions so i can have 8-bit music.
And please let me know if the stuff is free or not.

.... If you want to know if the music is free, then search in google...
About looping, there are million of programs there, like audacity. To get the music.... download it from internet.... and hear it to verify it's 8 bit

I don't see the point of making a topic just for this, worst if this is in maps forum.

The easiest way to download it off the internet is to find a download link somewhere- usually it'll be in .mp3 or .midi format. To make it loop and convert it into the .ogg format (which is what the official maps are) use Audacity (or some other sound editing program iirc). If you can't find the music online, you can find it on youtube and find a site that downloads youtube videos then just rip the audio. You can also rip the audio from an NES game(which are in 8-bit) using an NES emulator to get the .nsf files (these have to be converted to something else, preferable .ogg to be used in skulltag- also I don't really know how to do this). Anything made in *Famitracker* will be in 8-bit(.nsf files), so look for those. If the music sounds like garbage, it's probably GSXCC (and not 8-bit. usually youtube comments will give it away)- and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use GSXCC music in your maps. You'll receive scorn of the earth for a very long time. (actually, you'll just have to replace it with something else that doesn't have horrible sound quality)

But yeah, this could go in skins/bots instead.

edit: I *think* I hit what you were covering. In case I didn't,

If he's talking about actually creating 8-Bit Music, there's a program called Famitracker. It creates 8-Bit styled music for Famicom and NES games. There are also tutorials and song requests on youtube to help you.
