What happens when you force a modern pop track through a 1984 sound chip?
This is my C64 SID cover of "Abracadabra" by Lady Gaga and honestly… this shouldn’t work as well as it does.
Only 3 voices. No samples. No modern plugins.
Just pure SID magic pushed to its absolute limits.
Final mastering was done in FL Studio but only to preserve what gets lost through YouTube’s audio compression and give you the best listening experience!
If you grew up with the Commodore 64, this might hit you right in the nostalgia.
If not… welcome to the sound of an entire era compressed into three channels.
Fun fact: squeezing chords, bass, drums AND melody into just 3 channels is basically black magic at this point.
Headphones recommended.
If you enjoy this kind of content, consider subscribing for more C64 SID covers every second Thursday.
Let me know in the comments which track I should also cover (can't promise I will do a cover, but I'm open to new ideas),
