September - The Living Tombstone (Bronyance 8-Bit Cover)

Ooh, a September cover. Haven't seen one of those in a while...

 

Anyways, the song sounds alright and faithful to the original, though there are a couple of clashing notes in the beginning that don't sound too pleasant to the ears. The drums don't really fit too good either, as they seem a little too simple. Also, at some points, such as when the song picks up at 1 minute and the very last few seconds, it sounds very muddy.

 

Overall, a nice effort. This cover, while not the most perfect, could be even better with a few tweaks here and there. Then again, maybe most of what I've listed is just a limitation with whatever it is you used to write this song (I'm guessing a DAW plugin like Plogue Chipsounds or the Magical 8bit Plug, neither of which I've used and have no knowledge in.) And even then, it's mostly just nitpicky stuff. Good work.

I would like to see you write more authentic chiptune, btw. FamiTracker is free and welcoming in open arms whenever you choose to accept it. I also hope that if you do see this (which I am betting on, and is why this is not completely transparent), you don't take that last bit the wrong way. I'm not trying to be pushy, but I really like when chiptune artists make stuff that could run on an actual console. And also because FT is my DAW of choice, and there aren't enough pony musicians around that use FT. Kind feels lonely, heh. : p

Thanks for the tips! I don't go for more authentic chiptune not because I don't like the sound of it, but because I find there's already so much of that all over YouTube and I wanted to bring something new to the table, something of what could be done with 8-bit sounds rather than what has been done with 8-bit. I appreciate the fact that some people don't like the sound of this type of music, but that's just what I'm sticking with.

 

Thank you anyway ^^
