The Nintendo 64 SDK comes with two "batteries included" audio libraries, the SGI Audio Tools and the N64SoundTools. The SGI Audio Tools are a collection of command-line tools for preparing samples and MIDI sequences for playback on the Nintendo 64. The N64SoundTools was written by Acclaim Studios Manchester (formerly Software Creations) and encompasses a kind of DAW for authoring and editing songs for the Nintendo 64.
This article hopes to give a step-by-step reference for authoring sounds and music with the SGI Audio Tools and playing them in a NuSystem-based game. While not as intuitive and straightforward as the N64SoundTools, there are advantages to having a collection of command-line tools as they're entirely scriptable and can help automate compiling/editing of sound data.
