He created sculptris? Respect

Thanks guys.
Yea, I know it takes a lot of practice. I did try to do things myself. I didn't make good music, but now all those music programs make more sense to me than before.
My time is limited, and it will take me quiet some time to reach the level of composing I would want, so I think I will go with hiring someone.
I will start with checking out the samples of some of the guys who posted here. And then maybe post a "help wanted" thread.

Fuck, man. Dr. Petter is so amazing. He's built sfxr AND sculptris! Not only that, he's released them for FREE.

And Musagi, don't forget Musagi.
Speaking of which, while we're on the topic: Can I really get that much more out of using a 'professional' program like LSDJ rather than Musagi? What are the benefits?

I take it you want to make chipmusic only? The only real upside with LSDJ is that you get the real hardware sound (if you have the real hardware). I personally find it user-friendly but I know for a fact it really isn't.

If you want to make anything other than chiptunes (heck, even chiptunes) try learning a Digital Audio Workstation, a DAW. Reaper ( http://www.reaper.fm/ ) is free for non-commercial use and both good and deep if you want it to be. Using plug-ins and samples you can achieve pretty much any sound, no need to limit yourself to a closed platform that might require more effort than it's worth to achieve a "realistic" chiptune sound.

Then again, you can always contact any of the gazillions of musicians looking for work or even free collaboration.

if you'd want to play live-sets with original (gameboy) hardware then: yes.
if your goal is a mp3 file to embed in your game i'd look into more desktoppish applications.
