If I wanted to use a classic music in a game I'm developing. Such as for example: Something Beethoven composed. Does anyone know how to buy the license to use such music? Because I'm aware I would have to buy it from those who played and recorded the music. I just don't know how. Where and the price.

Can someone help?

Yeah, go to http://imslp.org/. All of their recordings are public domain, so for example if you want Beethoven just go to Browse Recordings > Composers, find Beethoven and then select a work. If there is a recording of it you're free to use it. Many of them are also quite high quality, but of course not all of them will be.

EDIT: But if you're dead set on using some particular recording that's copyrighted you have to contact the musicians themselves or their agents and work something out.

work in progress but oh well, I finally decided to try making a chiptune, or atleast something in that chiptune/8bit style, so I decided to do what they loved doing in the 90's but never do today - make Electronical Blues

That's not bad. A little monotonous but definitely a good start. What did you use to make this?

Thanks, just FL Studio with the 3osc and then an external Magical8Bit plugin.

Here's a new one I've made, this one I've actually finished, my first finished one.

This one has much more variation, and a completely different feel to it. I must have been thinking about Pokemon when I wrote it, cause a lot of parts are very similar to the music in Pokemon.

That's cool. I think the themes could have been much stronger and the modulations a little more tactfully handled but I like a lot of the ideas.

Are you implying that I should sit down by a piano, write sheet music and then transfer it over to my chiptunes? I'm not making classical music here.

I want to get a midi keyboard most of all, only sucks I'm 17 and the only income I have is 80 euros a month from mom - and I use those to buy weed or alcohol because it's fucking expensive here in Sweden.
