  1. I first started this project in 2016, lost it due to a computer crash, recovered it years later, rediscovered it, worked on it recently. And this is what I've got so far. Sonic 2 - Hidden Palace Zone [WIPv1].mp3
  2. I'm using Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio's native sidechain to control the mix amount on the built-in filter (set on high pass at about 400Hz).
  3. I have an issue with clicks/crackling when I feed audio to the mix amount on the built-in filter VST in my DAW. Basically, I'm trying to filter the low end from other instruments when an 808 bass hits in order to create space without sacrificing volume levels, but I can't do with the clicks/crackling from the value changes. What are some good ones?
  4. This is gonna be part of an album of SEGA Genesis music, all in Crystal Clear mode. Criticism welcome.
  5. My approach is ridiculously technical. I'll split an audio file into dynamic parts to get some sound separation (usually bass, mids, treble, more if necessary). Next, I send each file through an online "audio to MIDI" converter, which gives me some (really) rough translation of the music, but at least it's not one big, hot mess. The resulting MIDI files go into my DAW. Bit by bit, I'll start knocking off the notes with the lowest velocity to get rid of translated harmonics in each track. Once it starts to more cleanly represent the original composition, I'll start new tracks and rewrite what sounds like it's correct; albeit with some trial and error. I use my ears to fill in the parts missing from the above mentioned note deletion. Yes, it's a pain in the ass, but it gets the job done for me when either no one else did it or someone did and wants to charge money for it. Some of my SEGA Genesis covers have been done this way, such as Rumors by Timex Social Club.
  6. Heyo! I'm not dead! And yuh, I'm gonna be making at least one track for this. Going gangsta this year!
  7. Okay, I fixed it. https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1093989 Sounds alright to me, but I definitely wanna hear from someone else. Also, here's the first mix ever submitted, if anyone's interested in hearing the changes. https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/880226
  8. I'm satisfied with this, but I wanna make sure I didn't screw up and not catch it, so I'm poasting it here (never mind my spelling, I like toast!). https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1093989 I'll be editing this poast for a YouTube embed when the video publishes tomorrow evening... Edit: Jesus Christ. Okay, I just listened to it sober. Well, my writing is good (always is when I'm drunk), but I screwed up so bad on the mixing and transitions. Wow, I need to fix this. Edit 2: this and the next poast are the same link. I replaced the audio file in the page.
  9. For real, I just searched Google for "Christmas midi" and downloaded a bunch of MIDI sequences that I found lol Then I went through them until I found something that I thought was worth a mix. @Argle maybe try this before you give up?
  10. I hope you can get those two tracks polished and ready in uh... *checks calendar* about 5 weeks. Holy crap, it's that close, wow...
  11. Not intending to double poast, but I am dropping in to say that I have submitted my second Christmas track. Both are radically different from my 2019 tracks, btw
  12. I got one finished so far. Sending it by PM, as I'm not uploading it anywhere public until late next month. Also, sorry about last year. A certain individual in my life really dragged me down without me even realizing it until it was too late.
  13. Looking for this soundtrack on vgz to rip the instruments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haunting_(video_game)
