Libre Music Challenge #36: FamiStudio

Post by nyxeles »

Welcome to the Libre Music Challenge #36, for the month of November 2024.

The deadline for this month's challenge extends to the end of the weekend Sunday 1st December.

This is a friendly contest where we make music with free (libre) software exclusively. Everyone is welcome to join, at any skill level.
This is a place for learning and sharing knowledge, and an opportunity to explore creativity through limitation.
But most importantly, we just hope it inspires you to make some music!

The challenge for this month is to make a track with Famistudio.
This is the only piece of software you'll be using!
DPCM samples can be loaded, and as usual samples must be available at no cost and under free licenses (i.e. public domain, CC0, CC-BY with appropriate attribution). Remember to list each sample used.

Happy music making!

Yes! It depends on .NET 7.0. You can easily install that from your distro's repos. All major distros ship dotnet.

Alternatively, Famistudio is also provided as a flatpak: https://famistudio.org/#download

My bad, I didn't realise that had a MIT license.

Here's my submission:

https://soundcloud.com/nyxeles/the-mad-skeletons-dance

Made with Famistudio. Used just the default NES channels, no extra modules. Didn't use DPCM.

After export from Famistudio I only normalized to peak -0db with ffmpeg-normalize.
