I have many questions: My main question is, what are the best/latest tools for composing a piece for a game? In particular, are there any software''s out there that do not use impracticle sheet note format, which have a good interface for entering the music via keyboard(in real time or otherwise), mouse, and optionally external MIDI keyboard? Is it more common now to use huge sound files for digital music or would it be better to go with the old MOD(8channel) format or something like that? I''ve been composing manually with the keyboard, but it sure would be nice if I could figure out how to get my general midi synth to ouput music to one of my trackers. I don''t know if there''s something I have to do on the keyboard(no instructions) or if I''m doing something wrong in receiving from external in the softwares. Help me please! (O_o)*
