One of my favorite 90s hits, now as an NES-styled jam! I started working on this a couple of days ago and actually already uploaded it as an unfinished project, so here's the finished version, now with verses and a few little tweaks to make it sound more spot on.

Tell me what you think in the comments, and feel free to suggest any other songs you'd like to hear 8-bit versions of. Also be sure to follow me if you want to hear more of my music, including other chiptune covers like this one!

Here's a link to the original song on YouTube if you haven't heard it (it's a ding-dang bop!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZBSG...

Made using a Winebottled version of FamiTracker on a MacBook Pro. I had a lot of fun making this, as 50s doo-wop is one of my favorite genres of music- and this is one of my favorite songs in that genre! I'm really proud of it as well, as the backing chord harmonies are a lot more rhythmically complex than a lot of my previous 8-bit covers. I created the thumbnail image using a crappy online image editor, and the custom Mario sprites were also made by me. If you enjoyed this, then consider checking out some of my other music– for instance, this is only one of several other chiptune covers I've created, the likes of which you can here in the playlists linked above. Or don't. This is just a hobby at the moment so I don't really give a crap tbh.

Cheers!

More like "Heart of BITS"... eh? ehhh??

Made through Famitracker using the VRC6 module in probably less than 12 hours. I actually started working on this a month or so ago, but I just sort of gave up on it after like 5 minutes. Today I ran into it again on my laptop and decided "eh... why not?" so I cranked the rest of it out throughout the course of today. Blondie has to be one of my favorite early new wave bands alongside The Police, so this was a fun one to work on. Hope you all enjoy it! Let me know what you think in the comments, and if you liked this one then feel free to check out my other 8-bit covers and compositions in the above playlists.

Hehe... more like BITTIE Eilish... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Created this in FamiTracker via the VCR6 module, and within the span of around 4-6 hours during school and at home instead of doing homework. Most of my other covers I've published have been of older pop songs from the 50s-90s, so it was interesting to take a shot at a more contemporary- no less really fun doing one of my favorite songs from the past year. I decided to try some new stuff with this one– particularly using custom-made DPCM samples for the "I'm the baaaaad guy... Duh!" part. I also made a bit of a bold move and decided to use the triangle section for the main melody in the chorus instead of the bass part like it's usually used for, which I think paid off surprisingly in the end. This was a fun cover to work on, and I'm proud of how clean-sounding it ultimately turned out. I know I probably think this about every latest chiptune remix I make, but I'd have to consider this my best, or at least one of my best covers I've made in the past 2 or so years. Hope you enjoy it!!

If you like this, then feel free to check out some of my other songs, including more of my 8-bit song covers, some lyrical songs I've written, and my non-chiptune compositions which I make in GarageBand and Logic Pro. You can also go to my YouTube channel (linked above) where you can check out more of my music as well as some other, crappier content.

Here's an NES-styled rendition of one of my favorite songs ever! Seriously, love Whitney Houston... but anyways, this one's been a a bit of a long time coming. I started it back at the beginning of the year (before the pandemic happened of course), and posted a few infrequent updates to r/chiptunes on Reddit. I actually finished it a couple of months ago, but I've just procrastinated a ton in terms of actually uploading it. Either way, here it finally is– let me know what you think of it! I put a ton of effort into making it one of my best FT covers yet, and I have to say I'm super proud of how it turned out in the end.
If you enjoyed this one then please feel free to check out some of my other 8-bit covers of songs I've done. They're all in the playlist I linked above, and if you liked this then you'll surely enjoy them as well. Also, f you're here from r/chiptunes, then thanks so much for taking the time to listen, and HUGE shoutouts to all the Redditors that gave me feedback when I was still working on this, as you really helped me in fleshing this one out and making it sound as solid as possible.
Alright, that's about it. It's been a while since I last posted, so I really hope you enjoy this one. Cheers! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been meaning to collab with other FamiTracker artists.

Big thanks to all who contributed:

Thank you 8 Gigue-Bits for resurrecting this project after 6 months of hiatus to give me the inspiration to finish it up. Thank you Cass Cuttlefish for some guidance from the start with your chiptune collab experience. Thank you Lumena-tan, Megan, Adelyn, Dinaari, and Livvy94 for the company along the way. Of course thank you everyone else with your work and support, and especially for bearing with me in spending a full year to finish this project. x) The experience was worth it, both for what we've created as well as for just the experience itself. 💜
