this is very fitting, always got a capcom vibe from this track

Dude, this goes hard as hell, i can see this music being on a mega man X stage

which part of the sound system is responsible for the reverb?

Xander Martin requested a WL4 cover of this from me. Unlike some of his past requests this one seemed easy enough to warrant actually following up on. So I took a stab at it. 

At first I was using WarioWare, inc. as my standard for which sounds I could use. Actual Flute and Pan Flute sounds would be open to me this way, and the choir as well. 
[30,2] was an absolute shoe-in for the chorused plucked string, so that was obviously the first thing I did. I also went to the trouble of making this with Sappy playback in mind, unlike some of my other recent WL4 covers. 

Because of these 2 things I'd been flip-flopping on the idea of going full Arabian Nights with this waarangement. Finding ways of limiting the # of sound channels and # of voices while keeping audio seamless put the idea of also limiting myself to base WL4 instruments (justl ike good old day) in mind. 

So, after the initial arrangement was finished, I basically halted production for a while. I finally took a drug holiday this week, and I may resume it tomorrow (not sure just yet).
But anyway, today I came back to work on it a little more, since I remembered not being satisfied with it where it was. I did a bunch of patch event changes, and spruced up the choir part (which is now strings). 
For a while I had the 1st Flute set to be the Soft Electric Piano, but ended up changing it to [113,2], the Arabian Nights shanai. I ended up leaving the echo as [5,2] though, because it sounded like an echo for just the flutier portion of [113,2]'s sound. This gives the illusion that the lead is a doubling.

Shovel Knight - An Underlying Problem (Cover)

Based off of Grassinio's original piece: https://soundcloud.com/grassinio/super-mario-maker-2-smw-airship-night-concept

The original had been floating in the back of my mind for a while, and I needed a good excuse to practice my orchestral arrangement/mixing anyway.

i lied once again (happy new year to those of you where it is 2022 already)
had an urge, uses mostly stuff from xmen - children of the atom (i threw in an extra cymbal sound from my own library)

KNOCK YOU DOWN !! (CPS2 QSOUND)

This is another of those songs I've wanted to post a cover of for a long time, and specifically using this soundfont. Even on paper you can see why.

Getting the chords to mesh with the rest of the sound was the biggest hurdle, I think, because unlike the previous couple of times I tried this, I'm a lot better at transcribing than I used to be.

I'm kind of glad I never finished covering this until now, though, because I don't know that I could've gotten the 2nd Lead to sound as good otherwise.

This was meant to be posted as some sort of shitpost but I guess it's now not.

A song that plays in the mario's mystery meat rom hack but originally composed by RednGreen i believe. Just a little vgm cover i suppose.
