The guitar sound is sampled from the original track and just mapped to the C-4 key as the base; a note which probably has nothing to do with the real guitar chord played; but it's just sample mapping so it doesn't really matter. Is the C-4 note misleading or you think the sound is completely off? Thanks for the feedback 🏁

@@RetroMusicRetracked its completely off. you could drag the original into an analyzer and see the chord values to replicate it with a new alingend sample.

Strange. Have the original still which is sampled with Audacity from the C64. I'll check it out again, thanks for noticing.

@@RetroMusicRetrackedfixed PAL-version ? 😉

❤️

Vielen Dank fürs Feedback. Kann sein das das ADSR da nicht 100% präzise war 😇; von den Timing her, sollte es aber passen.

Thank you very much. You can find the full track here -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vQYq1ZPdeNE.html 🎶

For me it's stage 2 in the tunnels. The music spices up the atmosphere to the maximum.

@@RetroMusicRetracked very good track as well 🙂

What cover should I do next to bring it to 64738? 🤣

@@RetroMusicRetracked Here's a few ideas: - Martin Galway's "Times of Lore" (this would be pretty epic) - Rob Hubbards "Knuclebusters" - Ben Daglish's "Biggles" - David Hanlon's Enlightenment Druid II" (Fairlight's intro) - "Task III" - Martin Walker's "Citadel" - Martin Galway's "Comic Bakery" - The Galactic Stranger's "I Want More Diamonds" - Thomas Detert's "Magnetic" - Jeroen Soede's "Funky Stuff" - Tim Follin's "Ghouls'n Ghosts (song 9(sid player))" - Adam Gilmore's "The Corporation" - Rob Hubbard's "The Master of Magic" - Johannes Bjerregaard's "Rockbuster" - Kim Christensen (Future Freak)'s "Great Tune" I have so many more, but that's a good bit to consider! XD

No, currently only on RU-vid.

@@RetroMusicRetracked ☹️

Memories indeed! I also always liked Williams. Greetings to Argentina 👋 🇦🇷

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you LukHash! I'm glad you like it. Excited to hear what SID magic you'll create next. 😇 💪 🎶

Thanks a lot!

I hope you're enjoying the final version 😇

Thanks! I appreciate it.

The instrument on voice 2 is, like in the original, transposed a bit, which gives the lead melody a small touch of harmony 🙂

Thank you! Check out also the full version of the track -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VImlGP2hca0.html Regarding raides, they were much easier in the Amiga version, specially with Geoffrey Longsword 🤣 ... about the music data, you can get it with SIDDump, but I prefer the C64Debugger more, where you have a tracker like view with a complete SID state for each frame and you can also pause and rewind the song (frames) any time.

Thanks! More covers coming up soon 🎶

Thanks! 🛡️ 🎶

Thanks! ❤️

Thanks! I'm glad you like it 🎶

I've definitely thought about that, and I will create one. To explain everything properly, I'd need to dive into how the SID chip works. There are also some effects that can't be achieved in Renoise without using a SID-like VST, so there are plenty of tricks and hacks happening behind the scenes. I have a good idea of how I would structure the tutorial, but it would be a lot of work and might not be possible in the near future.

@@RetroMusicRetracked Here's to hoping you can make it happen, even as if you don't go in too deep into the SID chip if it will harm the timeline to make the tutorial, it can be a bonus vid for it maybe. Just a thought if it didn't come to mind already. But I really appreciate the consideration for it, thanks!

@@l0g1cb0mb It will definitely happen and will likely get higher priority as the channel subscriptions grow.

Actually the Renoise covers are done by me (Vlad) 😇 It started as an experiment because I wanted to learn how the SID chip actually works and how, with combination of simple waveforms, you can produce cool sounding instruments. With first very good and accurate results, it escalated very quickly into this RU-vid project 🤩 🎶 Check out LukHash's Twitter and RU-vid channels to see some "behind the scenes" snippets, he is very active there.

@@RetroMusicRetracked XD

Probably I will... "Other Side" is planed as one of the next LukHash covers, but I really don't know when exactly.

I has a iPhone 14 Pro max

Original song (SID) data can be viewed using SIDDump or C64Debugger (now called RetroDebugger); everything is put together using Renoise, a modern DAW / tracker. It's also described in comments of my other covers.

@@RetroMusicRetracked do more lukhash please 🥺

Thanks! I'm glad you like it 👍 Any suggestions what to cover next?

@@RetroMusicRetracked I have a few favorites on C-63, one is Advanced tactical fighter ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NI1goOON0yg.html and my real favorite, of which I wish a 3 minute version existed, but I'm not good enough in a tracker to do it is Last Mission. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UvVZA4WFSTY.html I know the second pattern has nothing more than an extra bass under it, but I feel this song could be so much more

@@neliz2k Never heard "ATF" before. The author is also unknown according to HVSC. "Last Mission" on the other hand is well known; recognisable David Whittaker style 🎶

@@RetroMusicRetracked the tune should be by Kevin Bezant, the 3rd person working on the game as the other two did coding and graphics: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_(video_game)

Thank you very much for your support 😇 I'm glad you like the covers and that they bring some nice memories 🎶 And greetings again to the Finland demoscene 🙏 👋

Thanks man, I'm glad you've enjoyed it. Would love to hear your stuff too.

Thanks! But, credits actually go to the original composer: Jeroen Kimmel 💪 I've rearranged it a little bit, it was really fun working on the ring-mod arps 🎶

Thank you! ❤️ You know what they say: Legends never die!

Thanks! Check out also other covers 🎶

Thanks! Please like, share, subscribe 😇 🎹 🎶

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Haven't heard anything from PPOT for a while; are they still active?

Fully agree. I can't remember if the Amiga version also had this useless filter on, which makes the tunes even worse.

Thank you very much! 😇

Thanks for the feedback 👍

That would be a easy one 🤣

Like I've mentioned in one of the previous comments, all notes, including the part at 0:25, are copied one by one from the source (SID state in C64Debugger). And since there is no vibrato in that part of the song, there is no chance to make a mistake; unless C64Debugger is showing them off too, like by 1/3 or 1/2 of a semitone. And what do you think by off, should the notes be lower, higher, or something else? Regarding reverb, all the songs on all voices (tracks) have already a reverb processor. Some more, some less. If you look at the scopes in the video (specially when playing rectangle waveforms) you can clearly see that reverb is applied, so there are no reverb simulations using extra tracks or whatever.

@@RetroMusicRetracked they're half a note higher. How can you not hear it? Listen to the original again. The SID music doesn't strictly follow standard note frequencies, in fact when Jeroen composed it, he was punching in discrete frequencies directly as one byte values. I don't care what the debugger says, when I listen to the original and this, this is off, annoyingly so. If all the tracks already have reverb (they shouldn't by the way, since only the beginning in the original has reverb), then why are you doing double-reverb with two channels in the beginning?

Agree. Can be also said for many other tracks from Martin Galway; specially: Green Beret, Hyper Sports, Miami Vice, Parallax, Rambo, Wizball, Yie-Ar Kung Fu... some of them are covers but still they sound great.

Thanks for listening. I'm glad you like it 😇

Can be. I was trying to sync to the PAL version.

OMG! I've never connected this part with Visage, although I was listening to Fade to Grey like crazy back in the days 🎶

I don't know anyone who really played the game. Everyone had it just because of the music 🤣

I was also surprised when I've heard about the conversion. First I was a bit disappointed since the background outside is mainly black, compared to the bluish environment on Amiga. Then I've somehow got used to it and, at the end, enjoyed playing it on the C64 as well as on the Amiga.

That's because in most C64 trackers or in Goattracker you would define instruments (e.g. bass-drums or arps) which can consist of more than one note or waveform. So the patterns look slower, but when you hit a note the actual output in the background is much faster. I always get the song data from C64Debugger (a brilliant tool btw) and what you are seeing in every video is raw SID output of notes, waveforms, pulse-width, envelopes, modulation and filter for every of the three channels.

C64Debugger looks interesting. So you can directly import data?

Not really. Most of the things are manually done in Renoise. But once you start porting a song, after a while, there is plenty of copy-pasting going on.
