I've decided to not keep making a new thread every time I post new SEGA Genesis music. Instead, I'll throw it all in this thread from this point going forward. I'll throw this up first. It's a collab: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/925068

This is really more of a shitpoast than a serious remix https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/925412 Enjoy!

Entry Submitted! I told you I was going in on this joint!

Hey, just a quick note, if you use Reason, you can get RYM2612 as actual hardware. I suppose you would need a MIDI keyboard to use it, though. Inphonik (the developer) is very attentive to user feedback and questions, if you have any. They're based in France, keep that in mind as far as time zones go.

Oh, snap, I'm going IN on this joint!

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: https://www.inphonik.com/products/rym2612-iconic-fm-synthesizer/ https://www.plogue.com/products/chipsounds.html https://www.alyjameslab.com/alyjameslabsuperpsg.html 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?

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: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/923416 https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/923901 Both SEGA Genesis music.

Eh, screw it. My vote won't change where anyone placed. Dex's mix really did kick ass...

Ah, shit, I forgot about this. I got recruited for a VGM project. Oh, well, next time... @HoboKa you said that the vote is extended but it says it ended over 20 hours ago.

Made this for MnP111 https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/920748 I'm thinking of doing more, since it's 100% source material with added 808 bass and percussion. So, just barely not a MIDI rip.

Please do jump in. I want to hear a better version than mine.

Entry submitted! IT'S ON MUTHAFUCKAS!

I wish people on Newgrounds weren't so scared of OCR lmao Even a MIDI ripper could do this contest!

Working on my entry now. Because I'm bored

The source material sounds a bit like this song at the beginning

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/917723 I used RYM2612, RYMCast and Plogue's chipsounds in Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio.

My most recent addition to this project, Sand Trap. https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/916203 It's a work in progress at the moment, but I'm throwing it in this thread for documentation of my progress.

This is not something I plan on submitting or anything, but it does qualify for this forum section, being a game remix. Newgrounds Listen Page I have no issue with someone taking this concept and running it through with real guitar work. But please let me know if you do!

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/916203 It's just over 2 minutes long at this point. Any input at all is welcome. What's good, what's bad, let me know.

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/906509 This was put on the front page of the site for Pixel Day, a Newgrounds event about retro video games.

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.

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/904965 Composed by Brent Bunn and "Genesized" by me. It's 8 minutes long and I don't expect anyone to listen to the whole thing.

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/904968 Not as good as the original, but it's a nice retro spin.

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/903526 Drop the bassssssssss...

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.
