### [VRC6] Jean-Michel Jarre - Les Chants Magnétiques Part 2

Well, let's say this would be my first "serious" cover using Famitracker, one of Jean-Michel Jarre's most known works: Les Chants Magnétiques Part 2 (or "Magnetic Fields Part 2"). For comparision, here's the original
I started this a while ago, posted this short loop based on the song, and I was like "...yeah... Let's finish this...!"
There are a couple of things I might say about what should be improved (and little by little as I gain experience, I'll fix them), but, for the time being, I think it's quite listenable and I'll leave it as it is. Those details are:
• 2A03 squares in Frame 09, even now, I still think they are not quite right, yet, I've detuned sightly those in some parts to try to achieve that particular sound.
• The "Creepy Arpeggio" part/instrument (Frame 11, 2A03's Square 1) isn't quite precise, yet, has a similar effect. Same thing happens on ahead, in Frame 12 with the note slides.
• The ending has a fade out that carries out to what it sounds to be a Train Station background ambient, but, in lack of experience of making proper SFX (or cropping a WAV and convert it into DCMs) I've opted for a simple fade out of all instruments.
I hope you enjoy it, and, as always, all comments and feedback are appreciated. Thanks for your time!
PS: No, I don't hate the Triangle channel... I just... Err... It's complicated... (???)

Why not cover "Les Chants Magnetiques Part 1" (Magnetic Fields Part 1)? It precedes Part 2 actually.

I respect too much that 3 movements piece to actually do a cover of it... (???)
Being serious, I thought that I could in other moment do the 3rd Movement of that. I think MovieMovies1 did a cover of that once, if I recall.
Thanks for the feedback. n_n
