On the contrary, we totally grasped it ... before promptly tossing the wet slimy thing into the nearest garbage can, because what you're asking is basically a taboo in the chiptune community. Creating a piece of 8-bit music is an art form, it's the process, the experience itself that matters, and using an automated tool gives you none of that experience. This goes double if you're trying to cover or remix ("convert") an existing song to fit in the 8-bit limitations.

I received flak (or complaints) when I posted unauthorized remixes of four songs. That led to those threads containing those attachments being locked by Dr. Merio. (Thanks Dr. Merio for doing that! Your avatar looks cute!)

I suggest you try learning the software and making your own stuff- it's a lot more gratifying when you can say you arranged or composed it yourself. Trust me on that.

Well yes, I had already made my own music both with and without FamiTracker.

Creating original music is different from converting already existing music. One of them requires you to think creatively and create something new from the ground up putting hours and days, if not weeks and months of hard work into it. And the other just requires a midi and a converter.
Yeah, I mean, converting different songs into different programs and seeing the end result is quite fun, and I've done it myself a couple of times (even though I've never posted it or showed it to anyone else for obvious reasons). But stating it's original music is like taking a drawing you found on the internet, adding a color filter and then calling it original art.

And we all know that never happens....

True true. It's fun, but ultimately inferior to doing the work yourself because an automated conversion tool can't make any of the creative decisions required to do a proper cover.

Who said I was creating original music, all I asked for is a way to convert certain music into an 8-bit version. No one is trying to put hard work and create anything original when you CONVERT music.
Again, you guy's have failed to grasp the entire point of the thread.

So do you sign up at the FamiTracker forum upon the presumption that FamiTracker users should stop putting hard work and use conversion tools instead? Go to Ubiktune or cm.o instead. Of course people who come to put their effort into producing 8-bit music files ought not to grasp the point of "creating" said files with no effort. I doubt that people actually using FamiTracker will welcome anyone whose intent is to use nothing in the creation process, much less in a sub-board relating to FamiTracker itself.

I'm stupid. I thought you said "is" instead of "and" where I've marked with orange... Sorry about that.

This is also why I don't even contribute to the forums anymore.
I don't think you'd waste around 200 - 600€ buying FL Studio Full, just to enjoy some Midi's you imported there and the Demo not satisfying you because the plugins keep silcencing everything.
I don't think you just came to FamiTracker, in hopes to convert your Midi's into enjoyable 8-Bit tunes, which sound unique and all that, if you really hope for that, you're completely wrong here friendo.
I also don't think you'd buy any DAW just to "modify" a few Midi's with funky stuff and upload it as your cover (if you do, why?)
I think you're at the completely wrong place Friend, and I'd recommend you to not post anything "stupid" about conversions and us not putting any effort into OUR covers/originals.
