coatlesscarlThis is another instance of someone gifting me a game and requesting a cover. It was a surprisingly frustrating track to do. Had I tried to cover this independently, I probably would have given up on it. Hopefully it sounds good enough to please my gracious benefactor.
Super Mario RPG - 8-bit Forest Maze (Beware the Forests Mushrooms) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-10-23 | This is another instance of someone gifting me a game and requesting a cover. It was a surprisingly frustrating track to do. Had I tried to cover this independently, I probably would have given up on it. Hopefully it sounds good enough to please my gracious benefactor.Pokémon Sword/Shield - Postwick Gen II Game Boy Remixcoatlesscarl2021-03-16 | Image credit to SirWhibbles at DeviantArt
This is my first try with Deflemask's Game Boy tracker. I think it turned out alright.
As you can hear, I took many liberties with this one. Parts of the original Postwick theme are missing because my goal was to make a remix that sounds like a track from one of the Gameboy games. In order to mimic their typical structure/flow, some sections were left out.
I hope you guys like it!TMNT III: The Manhattan Project - Stage 4 (City of Half Shell) Turtles in Time Remixcoatlesscarl2021-03-14 | I heard the Turtles were in the news again, so I figured I'd finish up this 8 year old cover real quick.Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana - 8-bit Crimson Fighter on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2020-10-09 | Hope my technique didn't get too rusty while I was away.
I'm trying to enhance the visual appeal of my videos for the year 2020, so I made a scene in Famicom graphics(ish) with some of the characters from Ys VIII. As you can see, I'm not an artist. If you really hate this new style and just prefer to see the pulchritudinous black and green UI of the tracker you can download the FTM below.

Before that this module hadn't been modified since 1/4/2013.Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow - 8-bit Clock Tower on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2016-01-20 | I wasn't sure about using the triangle channel for the intro, but I'm generally happy overall with how the rest turned out.Super Mario 3D World - 8-bit Sprawling Savannah on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2016-01-18 | Can you believe this cover has just been sitting on my computer waiting to be uploaded, remaining totally unchanged for over a year? I finally gave up on trying to fix the minuscule imperfections I hear in it.Final Fantasy VII - 8-bit Still More Fighting on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2015-11-17 | Hasty and imperfect, but then again all my best covers are.
MP3: mediafire.com/?xguk5idksp0uexzPhantasy Star IV - Laughter (Zio Boss Theme) Remake on DefleMask Trackercoatlesscarl2015-03-12 | I've been playing through this game again, and on a whim made this. Thought I may as well upload it. Real VRC6 covers coming in the next couple days. Pinky swear.
Module: mediafire.com/?snuxym28duih7wl (It's kind of a mess in there^^)Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 8-bit Yoshi Star Galaxy on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2014-08-13 | I gotta shake off this rust and get back to uploading more frequently.Castlevania: Bloodlines - 8-bit Reincarnated Soul Part 2 (Stage 1) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2014-05-03 | I didn't want to drop a video and then disappear for another month or so as I have been, so here's a little something. Another Castlevania 3 style remix.SMW2: Yoshis Island - Final Bowser Battle Genesis/Mega Drive Remix on DefleMask Trackercoatlesscarl2014-04-25 | A little rough around the edges, but good enough for a quick upload.Contra Force - Level 1 (Genesis/Mega Drive Remix on DefleMask Tracker)coatlesscarl2014-03-10 | About time something Genesis/Mega Drive related ended up on this channel.
This is actually my first endeavor into Genesis tracking, so please let me know what you think.Chrono Trigger - 8-bit Boss Battle 1 on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-11-28 | One of the many great tracks from one of my favorite games, covered with the N163 expansion.
Behold the mess that is this FTM for yourself! But I should warn you, only open this FTM in Famitracker 0.3.8. It'll sound like trash in all other versions.
The next video won't be N163, I promise.Star Fox 2 - 8-bit Eladard Inside on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-06-27 | Update: The transcription error has been fixed for the MP3 downloads in my channel page.
A Star Fox 2 Namco 163 cover! Just what you were all clamoring for, I'm sure. I believe this is my first serious endeavor into Namco 163 territory, so my techniques might not be so sharp. Let me know if you have any helpful suggestions!
Made in Famitracker version 0.3.8Mega Man X2 - 8-bit Crystal Snail Stage (Energen Crystal) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-06-21 | Mega Man covers are significantly easier and quicker to make than pretty much anything else.
Made in Famitracker 0.3.7, by the way. It may sound different in newer versions.8-bit My Body Is Ready on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-06-09 | Real covers to come soon. Don't give up on me just yet!
*Note that I used version 0.3.7 of Famitracker to make this cover. I can't speak as to how the DPCM will sound on other versions.Actraiser - 8-bit Fillmore on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-05-16 | Hey, a 2A03 cover! I tried to remake this track in Castlevania 3 style. It seemed to fit perfectly. Of course I had to alter a few things from the original to achieve this aim.
Now I sit back and wait for people to inform me in very specific terms how inauthentic this is to Castlevania 3's OST.
FTM: http://www.mediafire.com/?zdlc2e8q8iud992LoZ: A Link to the Past - 8-bit Dark World on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-04-21 | Sorry for the relatively uninspired choice of track. I came across an unfinished .ftm and decided to complete it quickly, and this is the result. It may be a little unpolished.Mother - And Fallin Love (Earthbound Remix) on OpenMPTcoatlesscarl2013-03-13 | Update: There's a much better version of this track available in the MP3 downloads in my channel description.
I thought I'd try a 16-bit* remix that wasn't Mega Man or TMNT. It's really just a practice. What do you think?TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist - Back In The Sewers (Turtles In Time Remix) on OpenMPTcoatlesscarl2013-03-13 | One of the Genesis/Mega Drive exclusive tracks from its version of TMNT IV, played in Turtles in Time instruments. Just playing around with 16-bit* again. It's become easier to do for me than Famitracker stuff recently.Xenoblade Chronicles - 8-bit One Who Gets In Our Way on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-03-07 | This track gave me a ton of problems, and took a very very long time to make, so that's why there was only one measly video from me last month. I wish I could have returned with a flawless cover, but I was forced to make a number of concessions in the demix to 8-bit. I know a number of you were looking forward to this track, so I made myself finish it. Hopefully you will be satisfied with what I've done.SMW2: Yoshis Island - 8-bit Flower Garden (Make Eggs, Throw Eggs) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-02-11 | This is my favorite 2D Mario game. I had considered making the stoned version of this track to place at the end, but then... I didn't.
MP3: http://www.mediafire.com/?kwewtaypygipkrtFinal Fantasy VI (III) - 8-bit Save Them! (Protect the Espers!) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-01-09 | This just might be the best game I've ever played.Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals - 8-bit Boss Battle on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2013-01-08 | Always did like this song/game.Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - 8-bit Battle 2 (Boss Battle) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-12-18 | It's been too long, everyone. I got really busy with end of semester obligations, but that's all done with now, so hopefully I can get in a few more uploads before the new year.
I didn't sample the original snare or bass drum for this one. Hope no one minds too much.
MP3: http://www.mediafire.com/?yuoecxrjbowkykdSeiken Densetsu 3 - 8-bit Swivel (Golden Road) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-11-16 | I know it's a random song from a game you've probably never played, but since I made this cover I may as well upload it.
MP3: http://www.mediafire.com/?r7ppx5wv7jorgcbTMNT III: The Manhattan Project - Cowabunga Dudes! (Scene 2) (Turtles In Time Remix) on OpenMPTcoatlesscarl2012-11-16 | These are so much fun to make. Sorry the video quality isn't any better.
MP3: http://www.mediafire.com/?ylm08d037325tamSuper Castlevania IV - 8-bit Simons Theme on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-10-31 | I wanted to be a bit festive today. I made this pretty quickly this morning, so it may not be as polished as I'd like. Hopefully, you will enjoy it!Mega Man X2 - 8-bit Bubble Crab Stage (Deep-Sea Base) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-10-04 | Sorry about the lack of uploads last month. I've actually been working on the MMX1 OST as well as another super secret project, and I must have started at least four or five covers I gave up on halfway through.
Anyway, here's something for those people who subscribed for Mega Man stuff. I haven't forgotten you!LoZ: Ocarina of Time - 8-bit Title Screen on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-09-22 | After a slew of some pretty tough covers, I wanted to do something nice and easy.Xenoblade Chronicles - 8-bit You Will Know Our Names on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-08-27 | The response to the previous Xenoblade track I did was pretty positive, so I decided to do another. Some notes may have glitched a bit in the heavy part toward the end, and I very much doubt it's 100% accurate.Paper Mario: TTYD - 8-bit File Select on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-08-20 | A gracious YouTube user sent me this game as a gift, so I offered to cover a track or two of their choice from it. Quite an interesting choice indeed. I never realized how awesome all the Paper Mario series' file select themes were.
Hardware Recording by jr lepage: http://www.mediafire.com/?7i42csiaozed8lgXenoblade Chronicles - 8-bit Mechanical Rhythm on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-07-31 | Probably the heaviest song I've covered yet. A couple of people requested some Xenoblade battle themes, and in a rare mood I decided to fulfill their wishes. I don't know how accurate it is.
Video quirks are because I'm still using a laptop and it has a version of WMM that I despise.Mega Man X - 8-bit Title Screen on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-07-18 | After taking an inventory of what I had left after my hard drive cataclysm, I find that instead of being eight tracks from the completion of the MMX OST, I now have about twenty tracks left to do. So here's a small aperitif for those of you who were looking forward to it. I apologize for the delay, and I assure you it's still happening, however slowly.Final Fantasy VII - 8-bit Opening - Bombing Mission on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-07-10 | This was by far the toughest and most time consuming track I've covered. It's hardly perfect, though. The video may be a bit weird because I had to make it on a laptop, since my desktop is still in disrepair. I hope you still enjoy it.Super Mario Galaxy - 8-bit Good Egg Galaxy on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-06-16 | Sorry to keep you all on a drip feed. My computer issues will be solved quite soon, and hopefully I'll be diligent enough to make videos more frequently.LoZ: Skyward Sword - 8-bit Koloktos/Moldarach Battle on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-05-31 | Here's another one where an extra channel would have been a great help. Also, my reckless rational tempo may have skewed a couple of notes.TMNT III: The Manhattan Project - Lets Go Turtles! (Scene 1) (Turtles In Time Remix) on OpenMPTcoatlesscarl2012-05-07 | I changed quite a few things from the original. I think it turned out pretty well. A fraction of a second of audio seems to have been cut off of the very beginning. That is frustrating. Also, there's a note with weird panning toward the beginning. Sorry for that.The Legend of Zelda (Series) - 8-bit Zeldas Lullaby on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-05-03 | I was playing around with multichip modules and made this. This is the arrangement heard in the Minish Cap and in Ocarina of Time's credits.Final Fantasy VI (III) - 8-bit The Decisive Battle on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-04-27 | Sorry to re-upload, a mistake was brought to my attention, and it has been remedied. Too bad I missed a couple of others.TMNT: Turtles In Time - 8-bit Sewer Surfin on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-04-21 | Hey everyone, sorry for the Strahan-sized gap in uploads. I've been attending to other projects I'd been neglecting, and in turn neglected this channel. Uploads should get back to their usual frequency now.
I couldn't get the orchestra hits any louder than they are without sacrificing more clarity than I wanted, and I couldn't bring the overall volume down because the Triangle channel is used at very high octaves and its volume isn't adjustable.EarthBound - 8-bit Onett Theme on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-03-26 | This one was hard to mix. Also, it's a tad slow.LoZ: The Wind Waker - 8-bit Outset Island on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-03-10 | Wind Waker is the best Zelda game, I think.
I don't do too many songs like this. I might start doing more.Mario Kart 64 - 8-bit Rainbow Road on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-03-08 | My first N163 video! But I don't use any interesting waves. This cover is slower than normal because that is how it is heard straight from the USF, and I prefer it at this speed.Mega Man X - 8-bit Chill Penguin Stage (Abandoned Missile Base) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-02-22 | I think this is the last Robot Master from X1, though I've started revisions on most of the other X tracks, which will be uploaded when I finish the OST.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Sewers (Underworld) (Turtles in Time Remix) on OpenMPTcoatlesscarl2012-02-15 | I thought I'd shake things up a little with an 8-bit to 16-bit* cover.Mega Man X - 8-bit Boomer Kuwanger (Fortress Tower) (V.2) on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-02-02 | Sorry for the re-upload, I made a small change for the better.
Anyway, all the samples should sound a lot better than before.Final Fantasy V - 8-bit Clash On The Big Bridge on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-01-28 | It's about time I redid this track.LoZ: Ocarina of Time - 8-bit Hyrule Field on Famitrackercoatlesscarl2012-01-09 | The "cover the track at a lower volume to preserve DPCM quality" trick doesn't work as well with orchestral tracks, I think, since they depend more on mixing than DPCM.
