Battle! Area Zero【FRLG Arranged】 

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the difference between the FRLG and RSE soundfonts?

@@leovl1697 It's the same soundfont, it's just the chosen instruments for both games are a little different. Go Ichinose (who Arranged Area Zero and Battle! Area Zero) handled all of the Arrangements in FRLG. RSE was arranged with Junichi Masuda, Go Ichinose, Morikazu Aoki, and others. Specifically the percussion used is the biggest difference, namely the kick drum and snare, which is much more intense and hard hitting in FRLG (That is what makes me greatly prefer FRLG).

@@leovl1697 Ichinose went and grabbed more samples from the rolandSC-88 and edirolSD-90 for FRLG. And thank god he did, the samples, sound design for R/S’s battle themes are really boring comparatively. Also, none of the distortion guitar samples are in R/S. Emerald is different - technically, since it has Deoxys, Mew, and Frontier Brain themes which all use FRLG samples, and a few more new ones for the battle facilities in postgame, it’s its a slightly larger FRLG.

@@godd1291 wait so if Ichinose used sd-90 samples, does that mean that the Hoenn Trumpet really *is* the same trumpet used in Touhou?

@@elipticalecliptic481 ah… as far as i’m aware the french horn and trumpet ensemble patches that normally are called “hoenn trumpets” are from the sc88 (maybe it was used for touhou, i know only vague things about it and that it uses these instruments as well) - and they’re really probably from the GBA SDK tools. You can find them in a large amount of GBA games, and it makes me think that it’s not exclusive to game freak.

warbly is an okay word for it. personally, i'd say it's screaming so loud it can barely get the sound out right, in an extremely good and emotional way.

Warbly but positive, like seeing something so immensely emotional and beautiful that you yourself, a spectator of the reaction of warbliness in the song, become warbly as well

Desperate and emotional is the best way to describe it in my opinion. The FRLG sound font is definitely nostalgic too so it makes it more melancholy.

​@@wesleywalker7491Mm, yes, thinking about literally anything is bad and nerd emojiable

that's what they call a vibrato i think

I think the issue is that most folks don't know how to make proper use of the sound channels that render 8-bit sounds, let alone other hardware restrictions, so they often over-engineer it to sound inaccurate. This is most evident in the percussion here, which actually uses the noise channel for the (impression of) high-hats unless absolutely necessary not to - exactly how the actual GBA pokemon tracks would've done it. Not sure if the chords actually fit within the system's limits on polyphony, but if I found out it wasn't I'd still forgive that for all the little things it's doing right like using the other chiptune channels really well.

@@grimms-vi1874 I was talking about official music not hitting the mark for me, but I do agree fan-made soundfont covers can be easy to screw up

I was gonna say, despite how cool this song is, your gba would erupt upon playing this

Unfortunately that name is too long.

hi andr, whats your april fools plans this year

@@lurkathon an unexpected question to ask in here but... you shall soon see. 🎩🏌🏾‍♀️
