MrKathooloo's Chiptune Contest entries

A race type tune.

Edit 20/11/2021:
-Added some melodies to the end 
-Little acceleration of the initial tempos

Rax - Original Mix

This is a chiptune cover of "The Detail" by Delta Sleep that I threw together for MrKathooloo's Chiptune Contest 4. I wanted to cover this song since the full album comes out next Friday and I can't wait!

I ran out of time to really polish it up, especially the end sections but I'm reasonably happy with most of it. Some sections are definitely pretty busy sounding but I love that kind of sound. (Could use some better mixing though).

Obviously this doesn't adhere to the limitations of a NES at all due to the massive number of simultaneous voices and reverb. Every synth is an instance of Famisynth-II and the drums are all from Game Boy Drum Kit. The reverb is NI Raum and I used Reaper for my DAW. The only other thing applied to the tracks is EQ. (ReaEQ, sometimes used as a sweep filter but mostly shaping the sounds of instruments a little).

The Detail - Chiptune Cover

Here's my entry for MrKathooloo's Chiptune Contest 5. Tried to make something festive sounding but it was a struggle without adding some sleigh bells. (So I added sleigh bells.) A bit rushed again unfortunately, but worth getting the practise.

Things I used:
Famisynth-II
Game Boy Drum Kit
NI Raum
Reaper
ReaEQ

Festive Jingle

Another entry for a MrKathooloo Chiptune Contest, this time number 6. The theme of the contest was remaking an old track so I chose one I did a long time ago: https://soundcloud.com/joolsreid/c64/s-XUYmHge13dx?si=a59127d4b2364caebbcd2296c47fc762&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing (Warning: It's loud and terrible)

I'll admit, I don't think this new track ended up sounding much like the original at all. (I had to change a lot to make it remotely listenable). I did base almost every melody from the new one a part of the old track though. I tried to keep the general tone of the song similar too with build ups into large sounding sections.

Things I used:
Famisynth-II
Game Boy Drum Kit
NI Raum
Reaper
ReaEQ
NI Bite (A little distortion on the bass)
