[DXZX - Forgive Me]

You really should be selling these tunes as packages rather than giving em away as downloads.

DXZX responds:

Music to me is like a gift for everyone. Music understands people like no one ever could. A certain tune can turn someone's mood around and I feel like if I could help with that, I'd make it free. Btw thank you for the feedbackk 💙💙💙

[Cloud Nine And One Ninth]

This song needs to be featured in an An0nymooose video haha. This is epic!

[Everybody Was Yie Ar Fighting]

Nice chipwork.

[Threat]

Little short, but I really dig this one. Dat bass is funky.

RealMrSnuggles responds:

Thank you!

[Medieval Battle]

Man you are loaded for bear/bare/beer? Servants! More mead for this stalwart 32-bit knight!

[Within the Sadness (Liquid DnB Remix)]

Well that sounds rough. Depression is a unique disease to everyone. I deal with it too. Maybe most of us do on some level. Time to open up the discussion of it and to stand firm against the bullies who try to shut us down.

Anyways, the song is solid. Nice work you two. This'd work in a lot of mediums.

[Professor Explozerous]

Is that Portamento or hand-crafted automation on them pitches etc? These chips sound very alive.

flaminglog responds:

Hand-crafted! I use famitracker, so bends have to be done manually. You put in a direction, speed, and amount of semitones. Vibrato is done by setting amplitude and wavelength at each line. The real necessary part was putting a very slight (like talking percents of a tone) shift on the secondary rhythm melody channels, along with a very slight long-period vibrato, to prevent any pitch intersections. If you don't adjust for that, you end up with sour notes.

I've been using famitracker for ten years, it takes a while to pick the stuff up but it can be done.

[Barge of the Dead]

Now this reminds me of Worms Armageddon at parts. Nice work.

[Julie Character Reel]

Mass Effect Andromeda!! My face...my face is tired.

Just kidding. Nice inflections. Great variety in characters. Very little stiffness. Well not from your voice anyways. Right, I'll see myself out the door now. Keep at 'er.

[Spoopy Spacey Skeletons]

Getting some 90's point and click adventure vibes here. Hah.
Nice work.
