TheBitterRoost

Writer/player/recorder of metal. And not the little flute-thing recorder. Think more like tape machine recorder, except not an actual tape machine, because those things are ungodly expensive and tough to maintain. But generally, I prefer to keep the spirit of tape alive by being so exasperated by the process of pocketing/tuning/sound-replacing that I barely ever do it.

I also build my own e-drums out of junky acoustic drums. I’ve had some great success with my kit so far, but, both fortunately and unfortunately, I live in a situation where I’m good to play my acoustic kit regularly, which really saps my motivation to keep working on and improving the e-kit. Based on my KZread views, that’s probably why you’re even reading this right now, so I really ought to re-prioritize. Expect some new stuff soon. Well, soon-ish.

I also might try my luck with making some let’s play videos of retro/retro-styled games. I waste enough time playing them as is, I may as well..

DIY e-drums.

As ambitious as the original NES soundtrack was, this just takes it to a whole other level. And I especially appreciate "WISE BIRB." Thank you for all you do! -signed, a new fan EDIT - And Jesus God, man, your CRT filter is beautiful!

    Yeah man, the game really does a lot with a little, visually. That’s why I called it “6-bit” for the DoD title, feels almost like peak pre-NES graphics, like a really well made C64 game or something. A lot of depth to it, too

  • @thebitterrooster
    @thebitterrooster4 жыл бұрын

    Not too much. Compared to its original sound, this now likely has a slightly higher pitch (less mass) and less ring/sustain. Its sound as a ride (it’s an 18” crash-ride) has probably suffered more, but I never actually use it for that, save for the ride bits in this demo.
