### Adventures of the 2A03

- Quote

Post by RushJet1 » Thu Nov 05, 2015 10:26 am

New album with some older 2A03 music, some new, and the Mario Maker songs I've been working on. All of these are originals except Sea of Terror, which is a gloomy remake of the SMB1 underwater theme.
Get it on bandcamp: (hardware recordings) https://rushjet1.bandcamp.com/album/adv ... f-the-2a03
Getting this to work in FamiTracker was a huge pain - it was originally several songs that were in different .ftm files, and if I just imported them with their instruments, there would be 80 instruments in the main file. FT limits it to 64, so I had to split the songs up again, redo all their instruments and import them so they would all share the same blank instrument and share some DPCM instruments. I also found out that if the .ftm has too many DPCM notes assigned, the exported NSF will break in random parts when samples are played depending on which sample assignment is played (freezes NES hardware and NSF players).
Aside from those issues, this album has a few older songs like Invasion and Far Sight that have much cleaner DPCM triangle samples. Thanks to rainwarrior for helping with triangle-DPCM loops in track 14.

All of this is good. You seriously need to make a career out of this; you'll be extremely successful; at least, I think you will.
Have you had any kind of musical education at all?

Thanks! I already have, as Deathro pointed out; I wrote the soundtrack for the PewDiePie game a couple months ago (and 1001 Spikes a year ago), and probably will work with Outerminds a few more times, and that's what'll be paying the bills for the foreseeable future. My goal was to make music for games and make my own games for a living, and that might work out after all.

I took piano lessons for about 6 years growing up, so had some minor "theory" like "this is what chords are" etc, but nothing very involved. Every time people mention chord names I have to wiki them to know what they're talking about, so most of this is just making what sounds good to me.

Ah... please excuse my ignorance... I don't keep up with Outerminds... sorry. That sounds super awesome though. Good luck on making your own games!
As for making music, I'm taking piano lessons, and I also follow the "do-what-sounds-good" type of mindset.

Everything sounds great! I'd really like "Invasion" and "War".
But... I have a question.... Track 15 has no DCPM sound... Is the instrument missplaced or is just some kind of noise/triangle volume control technique?

*jaw drops*
Really fantastic songs btw. That triangle DPCM in song 14 is impressive.

...track 15 does have DPCM sound? Is there something wrong with your module?

Point taken, I'll reword this, since it seems I didn't make myself understand. Track 15 ("The Last Sunrise") seems to have designated notes on the DPCM channel , but, there are no samples on the instrument mapped to said notes. So, I'm just asking if this is either a misplacing of instrument, or an intentional blank-DPCM to make notes on the triangle/noise to sound a bit softer than it should (or, at least that's what I've heard in other modules, which also engage in said manipulation, because, correct me if I'm wrong, all aforementioned channles share the same DAW).
Is that a little bit more clear? o3o
EDIT: Further inspection shows that the samples show a "(n/a)" sign and look like said samples were vanished.
EDIT 2: After even MORE further inspection shows that a little piece of the file never downloaded (626Kb, contrary to the 662kb that the file has), and re-downloading the file fixed the problem. So, never mind. I took for granted that the file was OK, since it played all the other songs without a problem.
