happy rant snesmod

Lovely song by Claire, I remember instantly favoriting it upon my first listen, I had to do a cover of some sort.
And this is my first REAL SNES entry! It's fun to interpret a very chippy entry and turn it into samples. I recorded or made basically all the samples myself, and I think I did a good job with how the sounds mesh together. Good job on the vibes, Claire; the joyfulness of your song is infectious.


(rant about why it took me this long to SNES)

In the past, I've done all my SNES music on furnace, which is so convenient, but has no form of hardware export.
When faced between the options of C700 and snesmod initially, at first I tried C700, it seemed super easy to use, but export is so f****d, I could never reliably get a song to export, even when I set the loop points or regardless of how much stuff there was in the song. Lots of annoyance. Fast forward to today, I tried snesmod, and I'm a fan. There's capability in this tool, I think of it as a less convenient furnace, but with .spc export yayyy!! Not that hard to use in hindsight. With all that being said, I'm pretty frustrated that there aren't convenient options for making snes music with .spc export. There's always got to be a caveat or two, snesmod being an .it converter, snesgss having lack of some features, notably echo and pitchmod, snestracker being abandoned in development, and other tools being very programm-y and generally obtuse. I'm absolutely YEARNING for the day we get some kind of hardware export in Furnace for SNES, o a tool for SNES music that can compete with the level of features you get in Furnace and C700.
