    Almost forgot something important!

    Also, are these done with the Genesis/megadrive sound chip?  Been wanting to get the tools to do that for a minute so I can play sounds from the actual console for my live sets.

    Thank you very much for the replies.

    Actually, it's as close to the sound chip as one can possibly get in any DAW. If you're interested in doing this, RYM2612 is what I use for the FM sounds. Plogue's chipsounds plugin serves for the SN76489 (PSG) channels, so long as you set it to the 3.58MHz mode. Both are paid plugins, but imo both worth it. Especially RYM2612. AlyJamesLab's SN76489 plugin may be a viable alternative, as it costs much less.

    Here are the links to that stuff:

    Edit: wait, if you do get RYM2612, there's an excellent free tool on Inphonik's website called RYMCast. It's a VGM player that also serves as an instrument ripper. If you look up games here on OC ReMix, you can also find VGM/VGZ packs (those are midi-like files that store the sound chip info as well). I've downloaded several, and I load them (individual .vgm or .vgz files) into RYMCast to rip instruments into RYM2612. That's how I made a track using only the sounds from the Death Egg Zone music from Sonic & Knuckles. It can also be used to rip instruments for Deflemask, but if you're not at all familiar with tracker software, don't bother with Deflemask.

    Also, one last note on RYM2612: your DAW software must support sidechaining/audio routing if you want to use RYM2612 to crush drum samples.

    I'm gonna have to make a tutorial for this, aren't I?

    Hello, my name is Billy, my artist name is Terra Genesis and I am a producer/composer/performer trying to put my modern day spin in 16 bit era video game music(specifically Sega Genesis but I do have a lot of PS1 era influence strewn about since I love RPGs).  Glad to be a part of this community now and I just submitted my first remix to OC today(fingers crossed it gets accepted).  What is everyone’s favorite JRPG of all time?    Mine is a tie between FF9 and Chrono Trigger.  
     

    Cheers!

    Welcome. Don't eat any food anyone here offers to you.

    I be on that SEGA Genesis time as well, but on a different level.

    Hear, here:

    Damn...I'm almost tempted to actually participate this round.  Maybe I will if Argle and/or nobody else beyond us 3 submit something.  I'm probably gonna throw in an extension anyways.  Compo scene ain't what it used to be.  Especially true for MnP lol. 

    I wish people on Newgrounds weren't so scared of OCR lmao

    Even a MIDI ripper could do this contest!

    I enjoyed it mostly.  I think you mentioned a while back that there was some pitch bending issues with the software you're using.  I noticed that manifest at what, the 6 minute mark or so??  Could be wrong.  It didn't take away from my enjoyment too much though.  Nitpickers anonymous.  

    I'm pretty sure there are no pitch bends in this composition. There are some rapid series of notes in some places to somewhat emulate a pitch bend.

    However, there is some dissonance at some parts. I'm pretty sure that was Bertn1991's intention, though.

    As for the pitch bend issues I've had in the past, they're somewhat irrelevant, as the plugins I currently use have adjustable pitch bend range (1-12 in RYM2612, 1-12, 24, 36 and 48 in Plogue Chipsounds). I've used automation to change the pitch bend range of RYM2612 during the song to make editing the pitch wheel controller less of a chore.

    I want to hear something from AVGN Adventures.

    I did this a few years ago. Hopefully you enjoy it! :)

     

    A few years ago? I take it you never remastered or did it again.

    I dunno if it's just me, but it sounds to me like you did this in a different key. Do you have your original takes on the guitar? If you used a virtual amp, I'd love to have those stems (without the amp) and throw it into B Major (the original key). I'd also do some other things, like reverb on the lead guitar (it actually sounds like a synth tbh). It's pretty good as is, but I really would love to take this to the OCR level with some rearrangement and such. I have Melodyne, so the above mentioned pitch shift won't be obvious/aliased.

    More notes on the piece itself. I do like the synthesizer in the background with that "choral" effect. It lends the piece more of a polish than just being a rock/metal piece.

    I'm putting this here because I don't think it really belongs in Poast Your Original Music. Not long ago, I purchased RYM2612 (developed by Inphonik), and I had a lot of fun with it. This is one of the things I did with it.

    For the PSG (square waves), I used Plogue's chipsounds plugin. It is the best you're ever going to find if you want sick pitch bending capability.

    The toms, kick and snare drums are from TMKD, crushed with RYM2612. The crash cymbal is from Trisamples 808 Trapstep Sample Pack Vol. 2. Any other "percussion" you hear is the PSG noise channel.

    And yes, it has the ladder effect going on, if you couldn't tell.
