I'd welcome any suggestions for the music and music routines.

Recommending a driver would depend a bit on the music itself though. Hm... but then, if you're composing the music yourself, you can use any driver you like and optimize it accordingly. I think my most complex music driver is to be found in Seawolf. There's also my most complex SFX driver, since any SFX can spawn other SFX (So explosions in Seawolf may have echoes ).

Definitely depends on the music: will you use both channels, do you want percussion sounds, etc.?

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Both channels as I only plan to have music during the title screen or "win" conditions when no other sounds would be occuring. In-game sounds are in stereo so would conflict with music then.

 

I haven't given much thought to the music as I wasn't planning to do any before the switch to 32K. Maybe something like they have before the battles at the Ren Fest would be appropriate for the title screen.

In-game music should definitely be organic-sounding, like a lyre melody maybe. No Treewave beats (and in no way is that degrading to Treewave).
