UPDATE: I think I'm ready to submit this Million Dollar Death Trap v6.mp3

DAW is Mixcraft 10 Pro Studio. Synth-wise, half of this is RYM2612 (a paid SEGA Genesis VST), the other half is prepackaged stuff like Messiah, ME-80 and MinivogueVA. Percussion samples from Trisamples Trapstep and Datadrive 80s Futuristic Retro.

UPDATE: Death Trap 2025 DEMO 4.mp3

Source Tune: Death Egg Zone Act 1 Also, main inspiration source: Looking for critique before submitting. Death Trap 2025 DEMO 3.mp3

Here's the original: And here's what I got so far. Using the SEGA Genesis until I get it structured the way I want it. Unless a completely SEGA Genesis submission is permissible.... Insane Carnival Zone [DEMO].mp3

Right now, it's just a demo. Definitely wanna finish this one, it's fire. Here's the original song: Million Dollar Baby [DEMO].wav

If anyone wants to slap the original vocals on this and post it, go for it. Just credit me for this remake. Already Dead (Instrumental).mp3

Now finished

In Crystal Clear mode Original: Cover:

Original: Cover: This is an old cover, I intend to redo this in Crystal Clear with improved sound design.

You already know I'm in!

Original: Remix: Chaoz Fantasy 2.mp3

An update: Chaoz Fantasy.mp3

-SEGA Genesis music -sounds like a game OST, but the game doesn't exist -sidescroller vibes, heavy and somewhat dark at times -album title tbd

I got a bit ahead with act 2 over act 1. Act 1 is metal, and whatever this is, is act 2. You'll see more of this stuff in the near future; I am working on an album to basically be a game soundtrack without the actual game existing. Please let me know what you think of this concept. Chaos Fortress Zone Act 2.mp3

A little change of pace from my usual covers with a slow and sad song. Here's the original: There Is No Arizona.mp3

Thank you! I wasn't looking for feedback in particular, as I consider this finished (hence the extensive visual work in the video). I just wanted to showcase some of my work here.

Some new old stuff

This is much newer than the one I currently have on my YouTube channel. I haven't released this yet because I haven't had time to make the video for it, plus I did something a bit experimental in this one. Before I just dump the file, I'll drop a couple of links: Original song: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/85046 Current cover on YouTube: https://youtu.be/B9N5L5y5Rog New version attached below Chaoz Fantasy.mp3

Original: SEGA Genesis:

Oh ffs, what happened to the file? Editing the reply doesn't seem to work on my end. >:( Here's the most recent update of this remix (still in progress): Sand Trap (Revival).mp3

Original: SEGA Genesis:

Original: Mine:

Oh, trust me, I'm not diminishing your feedback, but I know the limits of the console, which this stays within, but it clips, causing the sound space issues. I actually use the DAC channel for samples, keeping my PSG channels available instead. I chose Crystal Clear mode for this (as I do for most mixes), as the hardware emulations released in recent years (I forget what they're called) allow this option. I know that in a real game, there will likely be more compression. I just like it to sound good for my younger audience. And yeah, that crackling is annoying as hell, but it might just be a phase click, could be something else. Definitely investigating that when I return to this.

Thank you for the feedback, definitely will develop this better in the future. Technically fits on the SEGA Genesis as is (assuming zero compression for game assets), but that being said, I'm still not satisfied with it right now.
