Back to good old "tracker" format for Nintendo DS music
Right now I'm working on the music for a video game that will come out later this year on Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. I don't think I'm allowed to say just yet, which game it is, but it's going to be cool. 
I'm making the same music tracks for the Sony PSP and the Nintendo DS platform, but I have to do the work twice over, because I have to create the music in two completely different formats. The Sony PSP can "stream" the music from disc, and that means that I can record the music using normal instruments and all my studio equipment etc. But the Nintendo DS doesn't have anything to stream from, so I have to create the music in good old "tracker" format (in this particular case, ImpulseTracker format or FastTracker format).
I'm using a program called MadTracker, which allows the composer to "program" the music using a complex grid of letters and numbers. It's how it all started for me, on the Amiga computer back in 1988, I used this kind of system to make my very first fumbling musical steps. And here I am, 17 years later, back to using a music tracker for the music on the latest Nintendo handheld. Who would have thought it?!
