I'm also sticking to ogg at the moment which of course limits the amount of music i can pack into my games. For production is use some tools from drpetters, namely sfxr for 8-bit sound effects as well as audacity and cubase for heavy lifting. Another way i plan on lifting the application size problem is via downloading the tracks to sd-card after the game was installed.
I'd also be very interested in an Android port of libmod :) On 19 Apr., 22:25, Robert Green <[email protected]> wrote: > I really like Cubase 5.
