I was feeling nostalgia for Star Control 2 - The Ur-Quan Masters (1992 video game), so I made a high quality cover version of "Starbase Commander" - the theme music of Commander Hayes. The music is played whenever the player's Precursor starship docks in the starbase near Earth.
This song was originally published as a 4-track MOD track named "star contol2,tune4". "4 tracks" means that at most 4 instruments, or "samples" could have been played at once. These were 8 bit samples and therefore of lower quality, but still I used to love playing this song (and other MOD tracks) on my Sound Blaster using my MOD player (and later, s3m player).
======
The DAW I used for this MIDI remake is Reaper. I used mostly retro instruments in order to stick to the original spirit of the tune, while giving it my own personal touch.

![Transformers G1 Season1 Ending Theme [HQ] - Re-orchestrated Cover](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jDdV_b9t--A/mqdefault.jpg "Transformers G1 Season1 Ending Theme [HQ] - Re-orchestrated Cover
A re-orchestrated cover version of The Transformers (1984 animated television series) end theme song from season 1.
The theme song for Transformers Generation 1 was composed by Clifford Ford Kinder and Anne Bryant. This version was played in the outro (the intro had a slightly different version, with the More than meets the eye slogan that accompanied G1 toys). I made this cover as I couldnt find a high quality version of the ending song (there is a good stereo recording of the song used in the intro).
The images are taken from an AI upscale video of the transformers outro (see credits below).
The DAW I used for this MIDI remake is Reaper. I used instruments such as epic brass instruments (trumpets, horns), strings (violins, violas, string ensembles) and orchestral percussion instruments (Timpani drums, cymbals). And of course 80s style drums, snares, electric guitar (ish).
