    ### DEFINITELY WATCH THESE if you’re doing music!


    **PICO-8 Music Inspiration:** Pico-8 only has 4 sound channels to work with, so if your music takes up multiple channels, that means less channels available for SFX

    [https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=28414](https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=28414) - very small number of tracks per song. Different music per lvl!
    [https://twitter.com/gruber_music](https://twitter.com/gruber_music) - Very good musician that makes amazingly complex music with very little resources.
    You can find examples of his music in games by searching for him on the BBS: [https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?search=gruber&cat=7](https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?search=gruber&cat=7)

    Most of it is only available to patrons though so you’ll have to scrounge around the BBS for his stuff that has some of the techniques he uses. (you should be doing this whenever you see something interesting in a PICO-8 game. Look at how they did it!)
