I wrote a short little tune. I'd like you all to recreate it, but using a bad sound engine and still make it sound good.
Let's Go!

What do you mean by "bad sound engine"? Do you mean with very strict limits? Because I tried to make it with only 2 5B channels.
Also, this track you've made is really cool!
Edit: Made some tiny, barely noticable enhancements, just because I'm a perfectionist like that.

Hi! I'm not really active here anymore but I still make music. Nowadays I mostly make dubstep with emphasis on good melodies and chord progressions.

Here's my recreation.
This track is actually quite cool, given the limits.

Thank you! By "bad sound engine," I mean bad instruments like from Action 52 and Tagin' Dragon.

Okay, then I did a rong. Well, it was fun to make, at least!

Yours sounds like a C64 song. Also, thank you for your note transcription (I know you have absolute pitch). I'm absolutely, completely, utter garbage at transcribing notes without the notes right in front of me.
Funny that I don't even know the notes of my own song.
My particular sound engine is modeled after the one from Drac's Night Out for the NES.

I like how you memorized all that stuff from the "Introduce yourself" thread, hehe. First you call me by my actual name and then you remember that I have an absolute pitch. Pretty impressive, I gotta say!
Okay, back on topic! It was kinda difficult to trancribe it to actual notes in a few places, but with a bit of help from the "Display register state" setting (I only used it for 3 or 4 notes), it worked out anyway. Also, it's worth noting that I did use the "Global tuning" setting so I wouldn't have to fiddle around with a bunch of Pxx effects. I put it to +30 cents, because that sounded pretty close to the original.

The thing is, you put "Olle Axelsson" in the author field of some of your work.
And also, I'm very jealous of all the people here that have absolute pitch.
