Portal: Still Alive (8-bit FDS Cover)

[JDCmining]

out of beta and releasing on time does not sound like valve

[redwallfan123]

Nice notes you made for GLaDOS's voice.

[LoneKiltedNinja]

Okay. This I can respect. I do what I can without formal tracking tools, but that makes DMC a real pain, and limits arpeggiation to special occasions. Awesome work :D

2 people aren't GlaD

[daltonspr]

This was a triumph.

[PhoenixRage07]

I have to say that this is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen with Famitracker. Not because the music was spot on, but I'm more bewildered at how you managed to emulate SINGING. That must've taken quite a bit to work out, so I have to say... Kudos.

[flashygoodness]

@PhoenixRage07 Thanks a lot, hahah. It did take quite a while to figure it all out. This was inspired by a FDS remix of Daisuke from Beatmania IIDX 10th Style that I heard long ago, which used emulated vocals in the same way.

[NewAgeRetroGamer]

holy crap, I always wanted to know how to make custom waveforms that sounded like voice, could you help me how to do it?

[flashygoodness]

@NewAgeRetroGamer Sure thing! If you want to know precisely how I did it, I actually just kept drawing the waveforms over and over until they sounded like what I wanted.

[flashygoodness]

@NewAgeRetroGamer Also, I limited myself to recreating the sounds of the Japanese vowels: A I U E O... and N as well.

[NewAgeRetroGamer]

@flashygoodness I've been tinkering with the waveforms, but I can't manage to make speech-sounding instruments.

Could you send me the FDS instruments to me, please? I'd appreciate a lot if you did c:

[flashygoodness]

@NewAgeRetroGamer  Gotcha. I'll get those to you when I have some time, just remind me later! And credit would be nice if you used those waveforms.

[NewAgeRetroGamer]

@flashygoodness thanks! I'll be waiting for them eagerly!

[machriderx]

reminds me of SKATE. OR. DIE. SKATE OR D-D-IE

[MrChezco1995]

dude... plz reply... what's the NSF file for? can i open it with FamiTracker?

[ModSe7en]

@MrChezco1995 Oops, double comment, but no, it will not open in FamiTracker.

[MacWii]

@MrChezco1995 FT opens other kind of files, you can tho use NESTOPIA on the mac or ChipAmp on Windows to open it

[herty140]

I love you. ^_^

[Kwpolska]

I were listening to the 666-bit version while I saw this thing. This time getting a mp3 of your awesome Portal creations will not be a pain in the ass, though.

[HoneycombAgent]

It was using the "FDS" channel to generate the extra voice.

[coms758]

Just right for the message that we are still alive.

[DollarTaco]

gotta love those lyrics

GNIP MOP MA NAIUMMM~

[Forbidden5]

[LainaLain]

8-bit is still hot.

[Jurianug]

Nice! does this mean "Want You Gone" is next?

[m4binogiman]

@Jurianug He kinda already did that in a collab with someone else.

[Jurianug]

@m4binogiman How could've I miss that? thanks
