1.) Does anyone know the name of this song?
2.) What parts are real video game music (able to be recreated in famitracker)? Drums throughout, flute part in middle.
3.) Has anyone covered this?
I don't know if the lead sound itself can really be captured... to me it sounds like a 12.5% duty pulse wave modulated slightly by a noise signal. (Modulating the width or the pitch, doesn't matter which.)
I could do it in Impulse Tracker maybe, but not in FamiTracker.
Dude awesome and you are the man. Sounds very close to me. I am going to cover this song, unless you want to. Or we could collaborate.
By the way the song is called Shrine Bros. and I absolutely LOVE it.
It sounds like LSDJ playing some crazy filter in the wave channel... to me.
EDIT: After fiddling around on my game boy, this is about as close as I can get. Hope it helps. The lead is actually a 12.5% square with just a very high vibrato setting (V84 on Hi). The bass is a distorted saw tooth of some kind, I think. Didn't actually mess with the other default waves, but this sounded close enough. Also, the kick is deeper in the original probably because it's playing in the wave channel along with the bass, but I can't be bothered to mess with that right now...
Can I be sued if I make a remix of this song? Or do I have to try to profit from it first? I know what you are thinking - no he will not be sued, his remix will never be popular enough for him to be sued.
Realistically, if you aren't selling it, the worst that would happen is you'd get told to take it down. In most cases they probably won't even notice. A lot of artists will even encourage covers.
Legally speaking though, in the U.S. there is a 9c royalty rate per download of a cover song. Similar in other countries. Whomever distributes it could technically be sued for this. If you're not selling it, though, I strongly doubt anyone would sue.
Anyhow, yeah, a fast vibrato is a better approximation to the lead sound than my duty cycle macro. Maybe like "| 3 -3" in pitch instead of the duty macro. I don't think it's actually a regular vibrato in the original though; it really sounds to me like it's noise doing the modulation.
Also, the kick is deeper in the original probably because it's playing in the wave channel along with the bass, but I can't be bothered to mess with that right now...
