Your only limited to the overall sound…imagine you only have an 8bit sound card. Would the sounds your using sound like that coming out of it?
Use a square, saw or sine wave, and edit them how you like. REVERB ISNT ALLOWED…Although delay is.
Run drum samples through the lofi mat…
Good luck!
Naw, you can use as many FX as necessary, as long as it retains a low bit rate sound.
As for the amount of channels, feel free to use as many as you like. Do an orchestral score if you will.
Yo, kudos to you Moss for instigating this compo! I don’t know if anyone else is entering or not, but here’s my entry. I went and did a lo-fi glitched-out version of the Grange Hill theme.
SPODNIK This is a wicked song to do. When you mentioned grange hill, i thought you were going to use the theme they used from about 1990 onward…This One.
But i like this one too for it’s cheeky charm, and crunching it up has made it even more so.
Your glitchy spins are well cool, although they felt, at points, a little too seperated from the melodies. I can imagine a little more time would have sorted this out though.
You covered the melodies and harmonies perfectly, nice one.
SOLION aaAAA WOwz.
This is absolutely brilliant…
It’s a tough tune too, but you’ve kept it’s musical essence whilst giving it the loveable, childlike, playful 8bit quality…You’ve used the vibrato/pitch bends/arpeggiator effects effectively too.
Expertly done, this should definitely feature on any of your portfolios as it shows you have a real knowledge of harmony, and a good ear… Well done!
I love the solo at 1:45…
This is a win for me…
Message me your address details, and i’ll send you Starcraft in the post.
P.S It doesn’t have the serial code!
SHOOT ME, i’m sorry, i only just noticed this…I’m sure there is a keygen for it though or something.
