I have to go with andy moos list, and add 'thank f*** it's not an x86' as one of my chosen terms :)

Hope, nothing prevents you from adding some nice modulations and filter effects to suite the tune ...


Nothing except the fact I was hastily doing this during the half hour I had free during lunch, so was a bit short of time. This is probably the 'getting the notes in the right place' phase. The bassline doesn't have the same feel as the original so it needs a fair bit of work yet

Sorry about the thread necro - I got bored and had a spare half hour earlier and I started fiddling with the music from this. I reckon the pokey could do a nice job of it. If anyone feels like doing the game at some point I'll have a go at finishing it, but to be honest the game itself doesn't interest me that much...

I think that needs this music - I'd swear this was *written* for pokey

i know its lausy, but it was not the point of this video
i've gone though all possible video editing software i could find (open source), and yet returned to virtual dub altirra and audiacity for audio synchronisation
it came out quite good, and i'm happy with it

The problem is with all the skill, cunning and fine-tuning in the world you still have to pray that the gods of youtube don't frown upon you and flatten your audio and video into a blurred and muddy mess once you've uploaded it.

I think the trick is rather than compressing it in the most faithful and best way possible you need to find the combination of settings that convinces youtube to not reencode the file after upload. you take a bit of a hit upfront in terms of quality but you stop them taking your 'perfect' file and destroying it so you end up with a better video overall.
