Shadowrun - Seattle 2050

[MystWalker]

Hey all! Someone on my YT said it would be cool to make some Shadowrun remixing. I'm working on just that and I just finished this one. I had forgotten all about this game TBH, a shame since I always loved it.

 

Posting here before YT! Hope someone enjoys.

Ya got a very interesting style as a composer.
I really dig the immersive soundscape. ))

Great stuff!

Is this your latest remix you were working on?

...

The only thing I would keep in mind in the future is that the first sound signal in the music project probably should not start right on the first bar, but rather you should leave a full bar or so empty before the first note starts with the second bar, so to speak.

This can also help to avoid processing errors in the DAW or even the swallowing of the first transients and sound impressions.
I think there was a discussion about this in a thread of the forum many years ago, explaining why this is done  - maybe someone still has a link to it.

I can also hear a slight crackling noise at the end of the song in the last moments of the fade-out around minute 4:25 - maybe check this again.

Haha, I know what you mean. But no the finished one fades in, does not start abruptly like that.

I'm working a good amount at the moment, just thought I would upload Shadowrun to YT next. I'm working on Ninja Gaiden II, Double Dragon III (NES), Finishing Shadowrun at the moment. Also have a good amount of other I had finished a while ago I had not uploaded yet; like Parasite Eve, Ducktales 2, Final Fight 3, Final Fantasy I (NES).

I'm not sure what that is, but good catch. I'll check it out! Thanks for the feedback! c:

Nope, I wasn't talking about  fade-ins at this point.

But even fade-ins should not start at the first bar.
They should also start at the second bar (or later).

I think that it was really about improving the processing of the music project so that no transients or sound events would be swallowed up or poorly processed by the DAW and no unwanted sound artifacts would occur at the very beginning of the soundtrack.
Guess it could have to do with the little time the DAW needs for loading/buffering the project.

Incidentally, the short lead-in of a whole bar is also quite good for counting in (when playing live/recording, for grooving, or for better synchronized interaction in bands).

...

After you have fixed these little issues, you should really give it a try and submit this track.

It's absolutely fire! 🔥
