The making of one of my best chiptunes!

Post by Commie_User »

Some people find it interesting to see a few studio shots with their music. I certainly do and ithelps me appreciate the sounds somehow.

Recording this latest music was very enjoyable. Though Youtube mangles a lovingly-crafted master, it still comes across roughly as I mixed it. Photographs of the recording session and computer screenshots accompany the music.

The track starts off quite nicely and builds to this spooky and sinister-style cruscendo which build up.

I think it's alright anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TZ640jCmzo

YOUTUBE TEXT:


Commodore 64-composed track comprising of drums, Commodore 64, plus hard and soft-synths.

The photo slideshow displays all the instruments used as well as the hard and software to compile the finished track.

Very interesting tune. from 00:00 to 00:52 i had a hard time with the High-End of things, but interesting concept with what
you've done with the sounds.

From 0:54-1:25 is an interesting sound as well.. I like it.

Youtube's 'daisycutter' does have a tendency to shred your top end if it's as delicate as cut glass. Compared to the master (hell, even the Div-X!), the top end bits of the Youtube version are just crushed shards now!

Glad you liked it anyway. I like the magic of two complimentary synths, like the C64 and many of the Rolands.

I like my bits and bobs to come out all 'symphonic' if I can help it.
