Standupmaths Theme (8-Bit cover)
Музыка
The original by Howard Carter: standupmaths.bandcamp.com/tra...
Just 'slightly' overboard with the arpeggios, I think.
So... yeah. Not much of a story I could tell here. I figured I could just give it a go, so I did. Worked on it for two days and became frustrated when my ignorance regarding music theory was put on full display. Somehow I found a few chord progressions that sort of work. And I played around with pulse width modulation a bit. Sounds not bad.
It's by far not the best, even when compared against my own standards. But I think I made it a non-zero amount of acceptable.

Some of those square waves are trapezoidal. It’s as though they’re not true square waves, but they gave it their best shot. If only we had a name for them....

The best version. Love the almost square " parker" waves, they were a nice reference to the lore. All jokes aside, this is a great version of the song.
I find this a non zero percent amazing
i like how the square waves go crazy when they arpeggio 😂

Arpeggios make everything great!
1:41 That little quarter-semitone step down then back up.. those little details is why I love this so much
3:10 is when the nerds in the moshpit go wild.
I like the bit where it goes "Beep blip-blip blop blop beep."
Dang those trapezoidal square waves They indeed are Parker square waves.
Non-zero comment to show appreciation to you and as an offering to The Algorithm.
One thing I appreciate about your version of this theme is that the melody is no longer lost in the doof doof. I feel like this is a much more balanced version. I love it, I'm definitely providing a non-zero share of the views on this video!

Dude, those waves are like Hypnotoad to my eyes
I actually listened to the whole thing! I always kind of loved such simplistic versions, because everything is so out there and when a piece of music still works like this without any fancy sounds it shows that it's truly well composed.
LOL "non-zero amount of acceptable"! Nice job man! This is an amazing proper 8-bit rendition!
This is an almost perfect score, I’d say this is a Parker score!
I never knew what noise a square wave makes when you reduce the duty cycle now I know
How have I never realized how good this song is?!
Good job, I love this! I hope Matt uses this when he does a video on something 8-bit related.

Yep, was here by a recommendation after watching a ton of Matt's videos.
I think an improvement would be to add some pitch slides on the melody (Channel 7, non-arpeggiated) Okay, now that my evil side is out of the way this is amazing! Makes me want to get into making 8-bit music. I especially love the way the waveform display is lockes to a rise of a note and not just time based. makes it easier to see what's happening lol
I really hope Matt makes a video of Forier trasforms or something in the field of artificial sounds and includes this
The visualization is just gorgeous!
That buildup mate, so awesome!
Just brilliant :) Reminds my of the SID chip of a C64 although that only had 3 voices.
I love this! Would love to see how you made it
Man, I'm gonna buy 3 SID chips for turning this into boombox 😂

For the past one and a half years of making these kinds of remixes I've mostly been guessing these notes (intervals, really) and rhythms. To be fair, that has decreased considerably since I started, but it's still my unfortunate modus operandi. As you might be able to imagine, that's much more frustrating than doing it properly because the finished song is overshadowed by the brute forcing it took to get there.
@TheMuzykant

@@DelayRGC I also guess the intervals sometimes. I use tracker software OpenMPT to make music, so obviously some guesswork may be necessary sometimes. I can relate to you, because my first 8-bit remix of a song was just like that - guessing intervals, not knowing how to read score sheets, not knowing musical terms, brute forcing, etc. But you'll learn one way or another. Like what a C major chord is, or by Googling how to read key signatures and what notes are what. You can find plenty of videos on KZread talking about these terminologies. Trust me, it helps. What software do you use by the way to make this?

Sorry - the comment was listed as being for review and I don't check that list very often. I also use a tracker, but not OpenMPT. I'm using MilkyTracker instead, which I've gotten very used to. The main problem I have is transcribing from scratch. I've played the piano for a few years already, so sheets and terms are not a large difficulty. But I do have problems in *hearing* intervals or chords or figuring out a song's key without notes given. Basically, I know the practice and only enough theory to realize this practice, which is actually a bit embarrassing. I do follow a few music theory channels on KZread, like 8-Bit Music Theory, who specialized in explaining how video game soundtracks are written, and I look stuff up as well when I absolutely need to (I prefer to discover things myself). I'm trying my best to learn and improve.

@@DelayRGC What you are describing sounds very similar to me. I think you have relative pitch. I can never figure out what a key is on its own, so I usually press a key on my phone's keyboard and then go up or down to get the key I need to hear. Then I would probably try to play along with the song I'm trying to remix by guessing the scales. As for chords, for triads, I usually can hear the root and the 5th, but never the 3rd. For major 7ths, I can sometimes recognise that dreamy sounding sound. Intervals I tend to have a problem too, though I sometimes recognise intervals through other songs.
