I was messing with FM Synthesis at one point and made this.
FM sounds so cool, but can be so weird to fiddle with.

Hot Hipopolis Zone (Sights To Behold)

i caved in and bought renoise

for a tracker with daw features like track mixers, vst support, automation, filters etc., it's pretty impressive what you can do with it. finally i get to do hq music without having to wrap my head around more conventional daws; i like the inconvenience of modern tracker interfaces myself, actually.

the first time i had to arrange for something hq like this, the biggest obstacle and wake-up call i had to face was the fact that uh, my mixing skills weren't up to snuff. fixing it was a nightmare. biggest thing i didn't know at the time of arranging was that sidechaining the bass was really important, otherwise the bass drum (kick) wouldn't be heard and be overpowered by the bass. this was pointed out to me by a server member of ours, lolwe. they've been mixing for about 7-8 years and counting so they understand it pretty well... and actually the final mix was made just this morning to actually fix the entire mix lol.

other more minor mixing issues were ironed out with eq-ing, which i have a bit of experience of, though it was pointed out by dinebon_, yet another (new!) server member, who was primarily a bassist. they also pointed out some unwanted dissonance i had put in for the arrangement.

i understand that mixing is pretty much subjective and everyone does it differently, but it should be worth pointing out that there are some rookie mistakes that someone like me _can_ make. i may be a good arranger but this mix wouldn't have sounded better if it weren't for people giving me advice and pointers on how to fix things. i definitely think that getting input from a variety of artists who have different strengths helps to put a mix together and give listeners a more comfortable listening experience, so from now on, i'll be at the very least, sidechaining my basslines with the kick for better mixing. sorry if this doesn't sound great for everyone lol

I wasn't expecting the S3 & Tenna mod to be released so soon after I made the other video, but I'm not complaining (except about the final boss that got on my nerves a little).

Sonic X Deltarune: Screen Burn (Ghost Mix)

my first mml song! mml (music macro language) is a way to make music using text commands as opposed to a piano roll or tracker (the song image is part of the text used to make the song!). i used https://sakuramml.com/picosakura/index.php to make it : )

got silver in the mml category in battle of the bits's Oops! All New Formats battle!

either you're helplessly swept away by it,
or let it take you places you've never imagined before

Made with tildearrow's Furnace tracker

disclaimer: this specific song uses puNES emulation for the fds' wavetable synth, so it doesn't sound muffled (and thus not hardware accurate)
