I really like Classical piano works, and like to try to "demake" them in Famitracker.

Demaking, is when you go as simple as possible to maintain the original sound of a song in this case! It's challenging but fun!

A little late for Women's Day, but hey, better now than never. 

Been SUPER BUSY with personal stuff, so sorry for not posting like usual! Now that I'm in my senior year of college, I'm more focused on school. I had a break, so I came back to this classic that I started working on during New Years!
In case you didn't know; the first Castlevania OST was composed by a woman! She went under the Pseudonym of James Banana during production.

Castlevania NES (1986) Vampire Killer on Famitracker (MMC5 + 2A03)

I've been working on a small side-project of late, and got inspired to make my first original work on Famitracker. I'm experimenting on how to create scary ambience on famitracker while not relying on (many) expansion chips.

OTHER: Her Loving Embrace - Dearest Solastra (Cover)

Just a Doodad from a project with a friend. 
We haven't launched our Podcast yet, but I wanted to share my second OG work.

Our Ramblings Podcast Theme

I made a beat a few days ago, realized that it could work well with a slightly faster Lavender Town, and attempted to make this a bop. 
I think I've succeeded in that regard :)
Potentially will post a second version on here in the future :)

Lavender Town AngerEginger Remix Version 1 on Famitracker (2A03 + VRC6 Chip)

Hey all! First real project of 2022!
I know I'm uber late to the FNF party, but hey I think I did well on this. 
I sampled 3 parts of Ugh from Kawai Sprite (Ugh, and metal slams)
I also borrowed Rushjet1's FDS thing from his work "FDX", since it matched the quieter guitar part pretty well. 
This took me 2.5 days to complete. Oof now I can work on other stuff lol

Friday Night Funkin' Week 7- Ugh on Famitracker (2A03+Nintendo FDS chip)

Edit: Previous version had a skip in it due to improper stitching of the two project wavs together. 
This took me 4 days to complete, and 2 different Famitracker projects to get this done. This is the first time I've used a TON of the Q and R effects. I needed the practice, since it's more accurate than the 1 and 2 effects.
I love this song; my history teacher played this for our Halloween party in 2015, and I loved it. Figured I'd try to recreate it here.
Please check out the original; it's a trip, but worth the 4 minute-long song: youtu.be/vTIIMJ9tUc8
Also, I had to do those trumpet chords at the end by ear, so they might be a touch off from the original. I don't know chords that well!

Tunak Tunak Tun by Daler Mehndi on Famitracker (2A03+MMC5 chip)

Yes. It is time. 
Actually, this was for a talent show at my school that may end up getting canceled because only 6 people including me signed up for it. That sucks. Oh well, might as well share this treasure with you all!

I learned recently how to use the triangle channel as a kick instead of just bass. Works well! Will use the triangle kick in the future. DPCM is cool and all, but it works only for certain sounds.
Anyway, enjoy a song that I kinda went all out on.

All Star by Smash Mouth on Famitracker (2A03 + VRC6 chip)

This took me a while to figure out. I rarely play with the VCR7 chip and realized that it's actually uber underrated after finding some NES games that actually USED the chip. I know right! Who'd have thought that the US was missing out on some awesome OSTs? I learned a lot about channel juggling to allow for that authentic piano sound. Unfortunately due to how Famitracker renders the VRC7 instruments, I had to lower the volume to prevent that "crackling" sound that is often created due to spiking. I think, though, this sounds close to the original and sounds actually pretty good.

Classical Music On Famitracker (VRC7 chip) - Sonata No 14., Moonlight- Beethoven 1st Movement

I am surprised I didn't think to make this earlier. I love Mother 3, as I'm sure most of you do too. I hope in a time that is rather stressful, you remember that there's always someone out there who loves you!
I used an altered "vibraphone" that came with the VRC7 chip expansion for the GBA sound that I wanted. Might have to redo this, since I didn't realize how many string instruments are in that last part, but still. Enjoy!

Love Theme From Mother 3 On Famitracker (2A03 +VRC7 Chip)

Happened across this simplistic but beautiful-sounding piece. Had to recreate it. This time around, I wanted to try to see how simple I could go with this project; this piece only uses 4 fingers at any one time, so I figured I could use the MMC5. The MMC5 expansion allows 2 extra Pulse channels similar to the 2A03's default Pulse channels. I fiddled around with an instrument file I've used before to make it sound a bit more like a piano or at least a stringed instrument. Hope you enjoy it!

Classical Music on Famitracker: Passacaglia arrangement by Hendel Halvorsen (2A03 + MMC5 chip)

Under Fire

Hero's Resolve

I meant to post this last month, but I finished another project prior to this one. 
I wanted to test out how good the DN-Famitracker's N163 emulation was: long story short it's really good. No more hissing and pitch higher tones that make most n163 chip covers hard to listen to. 
So of course to test it out I use a Bach song! Everything you hear is rendered from DN-Famitracker. Even the reverb, which took me forever to figure out.

Honestly, I feel really iffy about how this one turned out. I prefer my Dealing With A Devil cover by a long shot, especially since that one took only a day to start and finish while this one was a bit of a challenge. I feel like that one was also a bit more inspired creativity-wise.
Oh well, at least I've finally started to figure out how to use sidechaining as a mixing tool

Super Mario RPG - Fight Against A Somewhat Stronger Monster [2A03]

A remix of the rather...minimalistic theme of W.D. Gaster, turned into a hypothetical battle theme for the guy.  Had lots of fun with this one, and hopefully I managed to capture this guy's spooky, freaky essence with the theme.

Rockman Stage 1

I started this tune on December 1st 2015 and I worked on it until january 13th, when I got stuck!
I wrote the beginning of what should have been the 2nd part, but I couldn't go on... When Antonio decided to publish a preview of the game (Semptember 2016) I decided to use a short version of the tune containing just the first part. I just had to make some little changes to make the lead instrument audible for the 6581 SID models, but wait: the version you're listening to now (the same that is on the CD) is the original one, with the filters working correctly!

Towards the end of the production of the game we needed another tune. Since there wasn't much time, we decided to keep this tune as it was on the preview.
When I listen to this tune it seems too short and incomplete... If I had more time (and maybe more ideas) I would try harder to develop the second part and maybe add a third one, as I had initially planned to do...

P.S.: As for the other Planet Golf tunes, the title was decided by Antonio, whom I thank!

Well, it's still snowing in Minnesota- so much, in fact, that we had school off today! In light of this unexpected break, I started working on a Famitracker cover of this excellent 90s bop that I've been listening to a lot lately for some reason. So far I've only fully worked out the chorus, but I'm in the process of making the verse, so expect a complete version to come along sometime soon. 
In the meantime, tell me what you think of this in the comments. And be sure to follow me to hear more of my music, including other 8-bit covers-- I make a lot of them!

All the best

She has such a uniquely fun battle theme, and it's honestly cool to see that Hitomi Sato returned to Pokemon music to compose for the DLC! Makes me wonder where Go Ichinose ran off to... anyway please enjoy!

Battle! Klara [8-bit; VRC6] - Pokemon Sword and Shield

I'm pretty sure I made this for Father's Day last year, uploaded it on Sept. 20th, and showed off the original EarthBound version of it at Christmastime. Since his birthday was two days ago, I might as well post it.

This is a wide song. Nearly took up all the channels on in the project.

W I D E P U T I N W A L K I N G but it's on Famitracker

I am a huge Castlevania fan... of the music that is. Since I've never owned a game from the franchise, I can and have played the music. When I stumbled on this beauty, I had had HAD to recreate it.

This was on the VRC6 Chip.

Cross Your Heart- Haunted Castle (Castlevania Arcade) Stage 1 Theme

This is oddly enough one of my favorite songs. 
The thumbnail is just something I found, so I have no idea who did it.
Apologies for posting this a day late; I spent the day yesterday with my folks.

Dorime Meme on Famitracker (VRC6 Chip)

Late posting because family was much more interesting than formatting a Wav file. 
Anyway, expect some new stuff this year! Merry Christmas!

Pentatonix First Noel on Famitracker

I've been swamped with work and school. Finally converted this to WAV for you all. This is the best I've heard from VRC7 so far. The guitar is surprisingly well balanced.

LOZ:OOT Gerudo Valley on Famitracker (VRC7 Chip + 2A03 Noise)

Hey! I'm Waluchadji, and I work with Famitracker!

If you find a cover you like and want to use it in your project, just ask and we'll work out the details :) Most of what I work on is either creative commons or just good music that I like. 
Yes, I make music for FUN.
No, I do not want to buy listeners. Please stop spamming me about it.
