Those who need to claim their gift:



Following in the footsteps of Musashi-AA and Epic Kirby, I decided to keep my Famitracker covers in one thread that way I can put my projects in various lists. I could do this in YouTube as well, but I like having it here so that the community knows I make this stuff for them.

A few concerns I have though:

Do not attempt to retrieve the music from the video yourself. A simple PM on either here or YouTube saying that you wish to use it will be enough information I need. I will then loop the song for you in the highest quality possible.
I may decline your offer if:
-I'm using it for something I'm doing
-It isn't a boss track
Most boss themes I will give out without too much hesitation unless I absolutely need them.

Please understand the above.

But without further ado, my current products.

If you have any criticism, I'm all ears. I want to improve as much as I physically can.

They seem pretty accurate, but something sounds off about them. I guess it's 'cause they were made in Famitracker, not pttune.

I actually had to spike Scorching Back down an octave.

Famitracker doesn't have an Octave 8, and I'm glad it doesn't.

Dunno if you've seen this, but it might be nice to have something to compare yourself to.

Like Korby said, the pitches seem fairly accurate. However I don't think it's something that's "off" as mainly something that's missing. You can compare the two covers and it seems yours is a bit "thin" texture-wise. (sorry if this doesn't help. If you want something more direct, you could try raising the percussion a bit. Or the tempo, in Eyes of Flame. That song doesn't quite have its "edge".)

I own the NSF of that.

And I realize that I will never be good at the Noise channel. That's the flavor I'm missing, though.

To be fair, that remix Ice-IX linked to uses expansion chips where you just used the usual setup.

I like the eyes of flame one
Sounds pretty good!

Makes me wanna blast another attempt at modding the game XD

So after several mishaps with system32.exe, I decided to try out an expansion chip.

I can see why people like them.

Added MMC5 Eyes of Flame to its spoiler tag.

Next time I post here it'll be for something original I swear to god

MMC5 Scorching Back uploaded, I'm very proud of this one.

This man right here




He's onto something.

You just need some practice with percussion sequencing and further instrumentation. Listen to MM3, then try covering any song in that game. Don't be afraid if it's a worn-out cover: the point here would be to gain practice on the complexity of a good percussion sequence.

There is also the usual lack of fade outs on square instruments, and the usual overusage of individual channel sound kill.
