2022

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)

Another one down!

Really enjoyed making this one! Honestly, one of the best songs in the whole game. 

Happy 4th by the way!

Mother 3- Alec's Log House On Famitracker (2A03 + VRC6 Chip)

I debated uploading this because I didn't like how it sounded. 
I finally settled on using some mild effects in Audacity to make the VRC6 sound a bit more like it has the SNES decay effect. 

I fell in love with this track a few years ago during the Quarantine, and it helped lift my spirits a bit. The game isn't my type of game to play, but man this game has no business having awesome music in it. 
Enjoy!
Also, if you want to hear a specific track from a game, or not a game, feel free to request it! I have a bit more free time these days and am always looking for fun and challenging tracks to do in my style.

Prophecy- The Secret of Mana on Famitracker (2A03+VRC6 Chip)

This has been a hard song to recreate! I really wanted to learn how the N163 chip works. It's taken me since before 2018 when I originally found Famitracker to figure out how the darn thing actually works! I'll link some Youtube videos I found that really help in explaining how the chip works because it shouldn't have taken this long for me to learn to use it. 

I also couldn't figure out how to get Famitracker mods to work on my machine, so I literally had to use 2 separate projects so I didn't have to use all 8 channels for the N163 chip in addition to the VRC7 (Long story). I mastered this in Audacity due to how pitchy the VRC7 chip tends to be unaltered, as well as to allow all the channels to sound decent together to get it close to the original!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5k3WhOQVYw explains how the chip works, and its flaws
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAOPFqC2PMA a programmer made a custom program that allows samples to be inserted into the n163 chip easier, as it does take a while to do it without any help. 

Again, if you have a video game ost or non-video game song you'd like to hear on Famitracker sometime, throw a comment below and I'll see what I can do!

Secret Of The Forest- Chrono Trigger On Famitracker (2A03 + N163 + VRC7 Chips)

Hey again. Still practicing the N163 chip. I'm getting the hang of using instruments and channels in Famitracker while using the chip, but I have yet to figure out how to make my own instruments. Mostly, I get my instruments either from my attempts or the inactive Famitracker Forums. The N163 chip uses an ENTIRELY different method of instrument making. So. Expect a few more N163 chip stuff until I figure it out. 

I almost didn't remember to put in that really quiet violin in the background of this, but I think I managed.

If you want to request a video game song or a non-vg song to be covered at some point, feel free to leave a comment!

Great Fairy Fountain- Legend Of Zelda Majora's Mask on Famitracker (2A03+N163 Chip)

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.
