Sampling games and movies

Well Im going to change my set up and Im going to buy a real small cheap TV for sampling. I will be able to sample everything from Playstation up to the newest systems via my mixer. My trouble right now is trying to figure out how to sample NES or Genesis because there is no audio or visual cords that I can run into my mixer (you know the yellow,red,white cords). Im thinking of how to get around that? Any tips or set ups to do that?

dont know if is the same word in english but the <peritel> cable who link the nes to tv..you can grab one with audio and video output on rca(yellow,red,white) for link little cameras on tv..peace

you could also just record your game sound just like you would record vocals

put the mic up near the speaker playing the game sound put it close enough to avoid getting your room sound in there .

NES has a red rca out on the right side http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/3486/b ... kjoevn.jpg

SNES you can use a Multi-Out cable http://www.amazon.com/CONNECTION-NINTEN ... B0014B1S5U

Genesis AV cable http://www.amazon.com/Sega-Genesis-V-RC ... B00002ST88

5 minutes on google..

Word dude ^^^^^

Much thanx!!!

and if you have the model 1 genesis... you got stereo sound with the headphone output. If you got the model 1 genesis with the high definition written on it then you might even have the yamaha sound chip in it which has superior sound quality.

another option is a TV with headphone output, so you can send whatever sound the TV is playing to the mixer

I have a dvd player with dedicated rca audio out plugs

Here's another option: http://www.zophar.net/music.html

These are the authentic music files of games ripped right from the cart/ disc. Not some lame midi recreation, but the real thing. I've messed with the SNES files and it's associated player and it worked well. You'll just have to sample from your computers output.

Again thanx for the pointers.

well the advantage to getting the nes music right from the machine is because it has it's own fm synth built in to it and emulators and trackers are just recreating the songs with their own synth engine.

Even better wire an audio out straight from the YM2612 chip in the genesis and get the pure signal, you can even sind signals to the chip and use it as a synthesizer. http://www.smspower.org/maxim/Documents/YM2612#overview

do you have a genesis tracker program? I would be down to try and write some genesis music code.

I think they have a 6 channel fm synth in the genesis.

Ive been wanting for ever to play the sounds of the genesis.

Also emulators are nice an all but I do what the real thing and I got some games in particular that has soundtrack plus sound efx in the options. I forgot about NES having the A/V out puts. I got the Top Loader NES.

top loader nes is nice.. no region lock chip in it so you can play japanese games without an adapter. you should check out doki doki panic... you might be surprised when you see that game. (I recommend youtube searching that if you never heard of it)
