This video deconstructs the Title Screen track from Mario Kart DS in the form of oscilloscopes, notes, and separated sounds to get a better understanding of what is included in this song.
Original track is composed by Shinobu Nagata.
I decided to do some more research into the process and came out with a much easier and less time consuming alternative to making these videos. I think it's a lot cleaner now, and translates the oscilloscopes very nicely. I also chose to do another MKDS video because why not.
If you have feedback don't hesitate to leave a comment. Thank you for watching the video.
I have original tracks too! Most of them are chiptune:

I don't know if you're still here or not, but I really want to know how you made these since I have some music i want deconstructed, and it would be easier to do it on my own.

@deconstructionproductions9348 2 года назад

On a really simplified level: 1. I used vgmtrans to extract each song from the rom 2. Exported the songs into the highly compatible midi format with sf2 3. Deconstructed the channels to my liking in a generic music software and exported each one into a streamed sort of file (mp3, wav, etc.) 4. Put each file into SidWizPlus which does all the oscilloscope work. If SidWizPlus doesn't work that well I've heard of Corrscope but haven't given it a try. It may take some time to render. Hope this helps, if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them

@slumburger1145 2 года назад

@@deconstructionproductions9348 thanks for answering! I was worried that I might not get a response! How do you get the instruments to sound right in the midi, exactly?

@deconstructionproductions9348 2 года назад

@@slumburger1145 if I remember correctly, when you export a midi in vgmtrans you are also able to export a soundfont file (sf2). This essentially applies the instruments to the corresponding channel. Just make sure in your music software that you have a feature to overlay the soundfont on the channels. Hope this helps!

You’ve found a better way to deconstruct DS music, while also making it sound cleaner? Nice.

@deconstructionproductions9348 2 года назад

I wouldn't necessarily say the audio itself is cleaner, but the picture that was output is a lot better.

@runningat50hz 2 года назад

@@deconstructionproductions9348 No, no, he's right. The audio sounds cleaner, specially compared to the original hardware. I'm guessing the samples are actually higher quality and is the DS hardware itself that downsamples them?

@matthewtaylor445 2 года назад

@@runningat50hz That honestly wouldn't suprise me as the ds not only had to work with dogwater speakers but had to save memory bandwidth on its CPU to actually stream the game to you as well. Those clean files are all there but the ds couldn't play them without cutting a few corners I think? I may be wrong so please correct me if I am but I think thats why :)

@MirrorHall_Clay 2 года назад

@@runningat50hz I wouldn't be surprised - this game specifically even had much higher quality samples in earlier builds (I'd kinda like to hear this with those samples tbh)

@somethingAccurate 2 года назад

The DS outputs everything at 32768 Hz (It's mentioned in the official hardware docs). So yeah it is downsampling the result. "The sampling frequency of the mixer is 1.04876 MHz with an amplitude resolution of 24 bits, but the sampling frequency after mixing with PWM modulation is 32.768 kHz with an amplitude resolution of 10 bits."

@TheNesboy 2 года назад

1:53 i really love the work that the piano does in this section (channel 5), i dunno it sounds really nice!

@lwillythewatherzon 2 года назад

So that explains everything huh? The DS still has that thing of older consoles, when there's no room for sound effects, some channels stop playing to give priority to the sound effects. This is very noticiable on MKDS... Great video! I've always seen videos about Genesis deconstructions but never DS ones!

@deconstructionproductions9348 2 года назад

Funny you mention, the Genesis deconstructions of carpathia808 were in fact what got me interested in this sort of thing. Definitely recommend. But yes, the DS does do it like the old consoles.

@@LuisDGamer it's fairly hard to notice, because the DS isn't as limited in channels as older consoles, but it's definitely there.

If you're still here, could you potentially look into how Tick Tock Clock's music is constructed? I'm only wondering how little channels have been used (it always sounded a bit too empty to me, especially the intro and the loop ending)

@jpsalis 2 года назад

I don't fully understand the audio chip's capabilities on the DS but it's clear that some work was put into making the real instrument samples sound right, or working around limitations where that wasn't possible. The bass and piano are really clear sounding (the attack varies nicely based on the "force" or volume of the sound). Strings and horn have always been complicated to sample, seems they really went all-in on the electronic vibe instead of hyper-realistic with those, I like it honestly.
