Don't you understand? I was trying to recreate the instruments as accurate as possible on the VRC7, it can't be 100% accuracy, but i highly doubt it is 0%. And I am also talking about the notation.

The instrumentation doesn't quite sound right to me...

I'm not trying to sound like an a**-hole but I think the instruments in the version I made a while ago where a bit closer to the original (still not quite there though... the VRC7 chip has quite a few limitations when trying to replicate Genesis music...). I'll attach it below.

Did you use a program where you could mute individual channels though? If you don't do that, it's going to be really hard to try and get the instrumentation accurate. I just noticed a couple of the instruments sound very different compared to my version (such as bells being strings or vice-versa).

Also, the original uses some unusual volume fade-in and fade-outs mostly in the strings. It isn't really something you can really replicate without using effects.

I hope that didn't sound harsh, I'm just trying to help o_o...

I did this by memory, so I could not mute channels.

Ah, so you don't have the brain-chip emulator installed?

Double-trolled.

moviemovies1; you should start using sound files for the games at some point because nobody can do anything close to 70% accuracy straight from memory. The tune's alright, but not exactly as good as it can be since it was all done from memory instead of from a sound file.

I don't care about accuracy, this sounds badass imo even if it isn't truly accurate. Btw, doing this by memory is more impressive no doubt.

o u

That's a great job you did there, moviemovies1. The mixing is quite good, unlike some VRC7 modules I've heard before. I suppose versions of Famitracker from 0.3.6 on make things much easier on that regard, though...

I'm not familiar with the original, but I couldn't find any major musical flaw, so I'm going to assume that you did a good job.

Tech, while I agree that one ought to use a reference recording if the aim is for perfect reproduction, sometimes a cover strives to do something new and unique. The more you force yourself to rely solely on memory, the more likely it is that you'll fill in the gaps with something good that you created. It's a matter of preference, I think.

I suppose it is a matter of preference...

Mind you, I feel that there should be more different themes done because most of moviemovies1's covers are from the old Sonic games (as much as I like the games & their music, I feel that he should make a new cover of something else, if not an OST of his own).

My preference, if you're gonna cover from memory, then accuracy% should be a non-issue, including trying to get the closest VRC7 patches.

I can... And a few other people too, although I agree it's definitely not the majority of people who can. An excellent auditive memory and perfect pitch combined together, both of which I happen to have, are a good combination for this. That's probably the main reason why I make so many covers too, heh.

Sounds pretty accurate to me. Actually, it's a bit more easier on the ears than the original. Good job!
