How to Make Music With Your NES

Combine your love of music and retro games by sampling classic NES music into your songs. While you might not have the expertise to create "chiptune" recordings that use the actual sound chips from old Nintendo cartridges, you can capture the audio and video from your favorite Nintendo games and mix them into your own music with only a small investment. If you already record music from home, you should have all the equipment you need.
