*Follow my Twitter!* twitter.com/Toffee_Bun F.A.Q in description has been updated! Seems like this video is gaining traction suddenly! What kind if videos would you like to see from me in the future? Please reply with your ideas. I'm also planning to make a video about Omori and Yume Nikki's atmospheric music!
Would love to see a Video about Omori Soundtrack :D I would also enjoy more Videos about digital composing and explanation. I also really liked this one because you explained some basics of the program to understand the Video
I grew up with this soundtrack and I’ve always been inspired by video game music since Undertale. When both Cuphead and DOOM: Eternal released, their soundtracks kept me listening for months, and I keep coming back to them. I’m not big on rhythm games, but recently a game called Friday Night Funkin’ has had me hooked, almost to the extent that Undertale had me. However, it makes me curious, how did Kawai Sprite manage to make a soundtrack full of literal “beeps” and “boops” sound so good? If you haven’t heard any of the songs already, I would recommend you give some of them a listen, and I think a video of some sort on the soundtrack would be interesting, whether it be covering how a strange blend of synthesized gibberish and amazing backing tracks are able to create such energetic songs, or just a review of sorts on how you feel about the music and it’s recent hype. (Also the modding community’s ability to create fantastic music gives me a lot of hope for the game’s future).
Thanks to you, I think I’m gonna try making my own video game music! I was gonna hire someone, but I might make some myself. I thought it was way more complicated.
@@thomazplays9305 I'm talking about him re-creating the music through accurately reproducing the customization of each synth used in each song-- being able to break down how each sound was created (waves, envelopes, tremolo, eq, etc) is something that was absolutely done by ear, and is incredibly impressive. I don't think you understand how textural tuning works-- nor how much time tuning the textures of tones can take even if you know what you're doing-- and to recognize and re-articulate the customized tones of others? Takes one hell of both an ear and knowledge/experience. TL'dr: "Doing all of this by ear" was referring to the successful re-creation of each song through this compositional breakdown and re-creation process. If you watch the video again, you will see exactly what I am talking about-- as well as him even talking about the fact he is working by ear/troubleshooting to create the right tones throughout the sound creation process.

I wish you well in the new year, and if you're not doing okay, that you find peace.
That's what I do. I'm not good at creating melodies unless I'm super bored and something just comes up into my head, I can rarely read music note sheets, I can't play the piano, and I'm entirley self taught by ear and don't know shit about music theory 🙃. If you give me enough inspiration I can create something decent
Now that I have now only heard Toby’s voice from this video The first thing I hear of him is “hi, I’m not a dog” This man is truly a genius And Also just that this guy in the video is doing this by ear is such a flex
As an aspiring music producer who adores undertale and has felt lost and like the only real info is buried under classical music training I never got as a kid and can’t afford now, This is genuinely an incredible video, and I really really appreciate that you made this. I’m so excited to go and make music with some of these things!! Thank you so much 💕
I would suggest you learn an instrument with a teacher that is studying music, I took up the violin last month (I'm 25), and the teacher has been filling in soooooo many gaps, and actually, there is not so much to learn! Especially when you have a teacher to point out the necessary stuff. Basically understanding scales, root notes and chords with the roman numeral notation is all you need. Once you have that, listen to A LOT of music.
@@yyunko7764 Yeah I second this. I believe there are two aspects to making music, technical ability, and artistic vision. Technical ability is knowing how to turn the musical ideas in your head into concrete pieces of music in the real world, and artistic vision is actually having unique and coherent ideas in your head. You develop technical ability by practicing instruments, studying theory, doing ear training, etc. Artistic ability is developed by listening to LOTS of music, as yyunko7764 said. And when listening to lots of music, you can't just listen to lots of the same type. If you only listen to C418 music your whole life, all you'll do is make more C418 music and never develop your own voice. You have to listen to different music, even if you literally do not enjoy listening to that music. You increase your music tastes with exposure, so if you listen to something you don't enjoy a lot, you will genuinely start enjoying it and understanding the music emotionally. Yes, that might not be "natural", but how else are you going to develop your music taste? We are born with no taste and develop our base tastes by exposure at a young age, so as long as we follow that same principle of exposure we can expand our taste at any age. As musicians, if we want to make unique music, we need to blend various musical ideas that we've heard in the world, but in order to even understand those ideas, we first must expose ourselves to their style until we understand and enjoy it.
@@yyunko7764this can be simplified far further. When you know the math that goes into making a scale, you know all scales simultaneously. If you know a single major scale, you know them all. If you know a single minor scale, you know them all, etc. Victor Wooten is a fantastic bass player and musical educator who goes over this stuff. "The basics" can seem daunting to someone with no traditional music knowledge, but it can be simplified so much further than how they would teach it. Understanding and writing music is actually very simple when boiled down and disseminated. The hard part is writing something worthwhile.
The McDonalds commercial really got me it reminds me of how in the movie industry folly artists have to do really creative and wacky shit to create some of the most iconic sound effects
2:53 Samples used in games like Earthbound are just compressed samples from actual keyboards, so using the soundfont in a commercial product is perfectly legal
I thought that'd be the case for most of em! But I figured that some sounds/sound effects would be created by Nintendo themselves, so I wasn't sure.. Nintendo do be nuking projects which use their assets, but I guess sound is different?
You know this person is good at recreating Toby Fox's music that he gets demonetized But besides that, this videos really explains how the music is made.
Still feels so wrong to say we played this game in our childhood when it feels so new and refreshing. I'm making changes in my life, I have goals now, goals that are partly inspired by Toby and I'm gonna do my best to not let anything get in my way because I'm sick of it, I let people I trust turn me from my desired path, no longer, I understand now that it isn't too late to follow my dreams, it never was and never will be, I understand now that if I want to be capable of succeeding, I need only to want it, really want, if anything, the hardships I went through to make it back to this path have only fueled a stronger passion to pursue it. Toby was one of a few who helped me discover the path I wanted to take, due to depression and judgement I initially denied it, years later, not long after overcoming my struggles, I decided to play Undertale again, it rekindled the dreams of my past and presented me with a future, a future that involves more than just wasting my life away, waiting for it to end, so here I am, now equipped with the tools I need and a burning determination inside of me, fueled by passion, ready to achieve my dreams even if I will never fulfill them because the journey is far more exciting than the destination and without the journey, the dreams are hollow. I can imagine someone reading this and thinking "it's only a game" and yes, it is. Make no mistake, I am not an Undertale fanatic, you don't need to be to still have been influenced by it. Tonnes of things and people influence you on the daily basis and some more than others, I'm just very aware of what I consume as I'm quite observational so I am only showing my appreciation. It's crazy to think about how different people can receive the same piece of information, where I can see a beautifully crafted painting which I can relate to on an emotional level, the very creator of said painting may have put no thought into it and just liked the colours... this idea represents many things in life
dude you won't regret it. Whether you end up making music for games or not, music is just something with limitless possiblities and it's something you can sink hours into and be fulfilled. I know I'm 5 months late, but if you havent already, go for it dude :)
@@ToffeeBun Bro I'm sure your video inspired a lot more people than you think, including myself, I'm developing a game with some friends and I'm responsible for the sound and music design of it, this video really hyped me up more about studying these topics :D
@@themaddenmachine not really, we're still on the concept part of the project, the idea is a pixelated story-driven RPG with a combat gameplay style of a tactical RPG mixed with an action RPG. I hope that we'll be able to finish this at least in the next years, that's the plan since we're only 3 guys with a minimum knowledge in game making :T But if in the next years we finish the game and make a trailer for it (which is the plan) I'll send you a link to it ;-;
8:28 "We're also panning them left so you'll hear them more in your left ear" *Starts playing in my right* Yeah I now know I had my earbuds in the wrong ears
As someone who's been recreating Undertale's music for years now I can say you've nailed how Toby composed these pieces. Also fun fact: Out of all the songs in the Undertale OST, most of them are not that hard to accurately recreate apart from Megalovania, which has taken me 2 years of recreating to even getting close to how the original sounds.
This is an extremely well-made video. I have 6+ years of experience in FL Studio and I actually began by creating works inspired by Undertale's soundtrack -- I am already familiar with nearly everything presented in the video, but I was still entertained by how efficiently everything was put together. Seeing thoughts from experienced musicians who had no idea about this sort of stuff was definitely interesting. One thing I wasn't aware of was Toby Fox's "How do I get good at music?" post. The last bit in particular about people being inspired by Undertale really hit close to home, as Undertale has been a huge inspiration in my projects and creative endeavors in general (despite how dissimilar they would seem at first glance). The chances that Toby Fox will interact with whatever I end up making is one in a million, but the thought of the people behind your inspirations interacting with your content is very nice.
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 Toby never minded others using his music, but the company who owned the distribution rights would still claim videos using his stuff. He however just asked others to appeal to these. My memory may not be perfect but about half a year ago when the fangame undertale yellow released, it remixed some songs from Undertale. The owner of the company that distributed Toby’s music threw an online tantrum where he started a pissy fit over the game for being a violation of copyright despite the fact it was a free fan game that Tony gave permission to make. He also went trigger happy with song claims on TH-cam videos at this time. Fox however disowned the statements said by the ceo, donated a charitable amount to the Yellow team and allowed it to remain up with all its music.
Ahhhh I've always wanted to know which soundfonts he used! Loved this video, really good insight on Toby's mindset that I could stand to takeaway myself. Keep it up!
You have no idea how helpful this video was for me as an aspiring composer! Toby Fox was the entire reason why I started writing music, and so seeing a deep dive like this helped me understand more about how he does what he does! Also, that OMORI reference at the end was beautiful.
@@orngjce223 I agree. Not to be THAT guy, but I would say don't learn theory if you don't want to learn theory. It can be overwhelming for a beginner, I would know. Only reason I know some of it is because I got interested in it a little later down the road. It REALLY helps with musical understanding but is not a necessity to make good music.
@@wasabi5134 I disagree (politely) I think you can for sure be a producer without knowing music theory, but- by the fact this is a TOBY FOX video. They’re probably more interested in deep melodies, and compelling arrangements. I urge every single producer to learn the basics, and practice practice practice. (And hopefully practice with an instrument) Not to gatekeep. Anyone can make music with some cash and creativity. But knowing the basics of music theory is like a + 200% boost in the amount of time it will take for you to make listenable music. There’s a 30 minute video that’s REALLY helpful and entertaining :) watch it. And like this video says: you don’t need anything crazy to make magic.
@@mkatkitkat Yeah, makes sense. I think a big part of composing for games is just how accurate the song is to the situation; Toby clearly excels in this, as it comes down to pure creativity in the field of composition. You can know all the theory you want, but when it comes to the CONTEXT, your song might not be as impactful if the mood, rhythm, instrumentation etc don't match what's going on at the moment
@@wasabi5134 i was just talking about regular music but- true. For OSTs tho I don’t think Context and Music Theory are mutually exclusive? I actually think they need each other to make good OSTs like Toby Fox. It also seems like you think music theory is like not creative? Or like makes you less creative. I promise you doesn’t. It’s just a groundwork for (western) music. I promise it’s not scary lol. Once you learn it it’s almost like “how could I ever music without knowing this?” Like sewing without needle.
@@mkatkitkat No, no music theory and creativity/context def need to go hand in hand (if you know it), neither one hinders the other. Just saying that only knowing theory without attention to creativity and context could make you fall flat (pun unintended) in the end. If you are willing to immerse your creativity into the world that is built in the game, even without theory, you can make something amazing. Knowing it will only help, but isn't necessary when it comes to an OST imo. Music theory itself is like a tool you can use to express musical creativity, not that it isn't creative? Like, if you don't know it or want to know it that doesn't mean you CAN'T make good music. For beginners: if theory is interesting to you, PLEASE learn it by all means, but don't give up on making magic if learning it becomes too much, maybe you won't need it at all. But I'm a noob to composing so what do I know :p
I'm genuinely crying after your video man. This is the first vid of yours I've ever seen but those ending words got to me. I'm studying to be a game designer and although I'm pretty confident in my ability to code, things like art and music are all new to me. I've been trying to learn music and drawing so I can make my own game. I really hope to be that kid who grew up with Undertale and makes a cool new game for people to enjoy, although I don't know if I'll be able to surpass it. I know you posted this a year ago but thank you, this video was just what I needed!
Same! I really want to develop the composing skills to make something as eye-watering and uplifting as Toby's songs :) Making my own undertale inspired game, hope it goes well for me, and for you as well :)
My friend, Ashley is actually working with toby for some of the tracks for the next chapters, she also uses FL studio, so even though I don’t have the application myself, I can see myself making some music after watching ash work on some of the greatest shit I’ve ever heard
this video is just perfect and for some reason i cannot stop watching it, and this video right here has inspired me to learn to make music I mean i already was a huge fan of Toby Fox's work but this is something else thank you man
That's a con of using someone's sample libraries without at least editing them. Anyone with a bit knowledge and straight hands would able to recreate it or be able to recognise what libraries you were using.
con as in downside not like confidence man (conman). Some people might want to feel more original or mysterious. You might accidentally put yourself into a category. Not inherently bad. Just something that could happen by accident. @@aykarain
I started crying knowing how possible you just made these kinds of compositions for me, in my 6 years of using FLStudio I had never heard of these sound fonts or had the idea of copying them, I always messed around with fresh synths. Thank you from the bottom of my soul for creating this video and bless you
Brother, you are a frickin’ legend! You’re the guy who rebuilt Undertale songs from scratch and you did it perfectly! You’re my source of inspiration and I aspire to be like you in the future.
Quick little addendum: YMCK Magical 8big Plug 2 (released in 2022) now supports custom envelopes for volume, pitch, and pulse duty cycle, so you can now recreate a lot more 2A03-type sounds in it.
9:50 "that recreation was so good it got me demonetized." This is literally the best case of "weird flex, but okay." I've ever seen in my life up until this point. holy fuck.
"-a part of my childhood..." Me: *ages instantly* Dear God I'd just become a legal adult when undertale came out, y'all make me feel so old! Jokes aside! Lovely video! I love seeing the inner workings of how this sort of thing is put together. I love music a lot but digital production has proven to be very difficult to even learn the basics for. I'd never have guessed he used an NES set of sounds, the alterations and additions made really bring it to life
I'll never unhear sans being Patrick and Flowey being Ronald mcDonald the flippin clown...Jeez, Toby, you're one fascinating Dog! And that quote about Undertale being an inspiration in 10 years? Man I kinda teared up. Toby's such a cool person...
Re: legality of soundfonts, in case someone else hasn't already covered this Using a soundfont is not the same as sampling bits of music from a game and using it in your own. It's more akin to sampling the *instruments* that were used to compose a game's soundtrack, and using them to compose your own soundtrack. The SNES's sound chip is basically just a digital sampler (massive oversimplification but bear with me), and the samples that you hear in SNES games actually came from hardware synthesizers. For example, there's an interview with Yasunori Mitsuda, the composer of Chrono Trigger, where he mentions using an Akai S-3200 and a E-MU EIII during the Super Nintendo days. So, if you knew what hardware synths were used to compose what game music, you could feasibly get your hands on one, or find a sample pack uploaded by someone who has one and sampled it, or find/buy a digital recreation of the synth in question, and get an almost exact recreation of that classic sound in higher quality. This is how people are making resampled versions of classic tunes. Some older consoles like the Genesis use actual synthesizer chips (the Genesis specifically uses a Yamaha YM2612 FM synthesis chip) which means you can theoretically mod a Genesis to accept MIDI inputs and turn it into a synthesizer (and people have done it, look up megadrive synth).
Just experienced Undertale few days ago and I'm super glad that I took the initiative for it. Ty Toby for this piece of art and ty Toffee for doing this video. Feel like all my life's path has changed because of everything related to this game. It inspired me so much broooooooo
I'm making a game inspired by undertale. I've been working on it for about a year now and it's coming along really well. The core concept is where every NPC is treated as an actually character/ person rather than just a computer program, they will remember your actions and will react differently depending on how you interact with them. Using this, I was also able to create a system that makes it feel like the game is writing itself which will determine the ending you get and how your character will develop. I feel that this project has potential and I hope that I can inspire others in the future
Dude last year I watched this and was puzzled, I Understood nothing, downloaded fl and nes vst, and gave up. I was overwhelmed. I somehow still got into producing and the algorithm brought me back. Not only did understand everything, I learned a lot which i can immedediately incorporate in my workflow. THANK YOU.
There’s something so satisfying and awesome seeing you recreate these songs almost exactly the way it was originally composed. This definitely inspired me to pick music back up
Wow this video is so inspiring... I've had a fascination for sampling in music for some time, but I've always discarded the idea of making my own music. I could just go and learn a bunch of stuff, the things I make don't necessarily need to be good. My motivation to learn could be based solely on my love for music, to get into the technicalities that I would otherwise never learn about..
As an aspiring composer and writer who plays video games (and is CONSTANTLY distracting me from writing my book i'm working on, or any tracks I could potentially make) I love learning about everything that goes into music (and narrative) design. This is kind of one of those little facts that is both interesting to me and can help me grow. Like a kind of grade school we never got because of standardization.
Watch as the OST Recreated community bashes him for not getting 100% accuracy on his recreations lmao In all seriousness though, this was a great video! A very insightful, yet very straight-forward look into music production. Great work!
This video was so insightful, I have always loved Undertale, but the production in it is something else. A breakdown like this that goes in depth down to the exact VSTs and sounds Toby used is so awesome. Amazing work!
the first time i heard undertales music it was so good i literally started to speedrun mastering composing its been about a year since i layed my hands on my first daw and because of this game i am already pretty decent imo, i wish i found this video sooner because i figured out all of this on my own but im sure itll help many others.
I rarely comment, but I wish I could like this video twice. Its very insigtful and reawakened so much nostalgia. Thank you for showing the way these iconic songs where made! (And if you ever make music of your own, I’ll be there listening… thank you!)
This video actually made me smile and as a creative person myself, inspired me to attempt making recreations of songs and made me listen to most of the ost myself. Glad I’m not the only person fascinated by this stuff
This was incredibly well researched, recorded, composed, and edited. I am incredibly impressed; it's also very helpful as an aspiring composer. Anyone who has a mild interest in composing game music should watch this video.
Normally with a title like that, people are talking about the process behind composition and the theory, rather than the use of software/ instruments. Very intriguing and informative pleasant surprise!
I watched this video a year ago, and I just want to thank you for getting me to take the final push into music production. Your video has changed my life fr, and I thank you for making an informative, in depth demonstration of/explanation of, as well as how to use soundfonts.
i know i'm seeing this 3 years of you uploading, but i absolutely love this! i'm trying do a cover for Undertale and want to make the instrumental have a toby fox feel to it! This has really helped me get some ideas! Thank you this was not only educational but entertaining!
I dont even play music, but this is so damn inspiring!!! It's so interesting to take a look into Toby's process when creating the sound effects and music for Undertale :) thank you for this video!!!!!
ive been trying to make a game like undertale for a month now, ive only finished one small bit, while slowly adding to the game, and i wanted to know how toby fox did his music so i could get better at making music. this video helped!
Oh man, as someone who's been trying to get into music production, this was really insightful as you were hoping. That ending though, my eyes widened as I heard Sugar Star Planetarium and thought "no way" to myself. Is this a teaser for a How Omori music was made??

This is genuinely an incredible video, and I really really appreciate that you made this. I’m so excited to go and make music with some of these things!! Thank you so much 💕
I would suggest you learn an instrument with a teacher that is studying music, I took up the violin last month (I'm 25), and the teacher has been filling in soooooo many gaps, and actually, there is not so much to learn! Especially when you have a teacher to point out the necessary stuff. Basically understanding scales, root notes and chords with the roman numeral notation is all you need. Once you have that, listen to A LOT of music.
@@yyunko7764 Yeah I second this. I believe there are two aspects to making music, technical ability, and artistic vision. Technical ability is knowing how to turn the musical ideas in your head into concrete pieces of music in the real world, and artistic vision is actually having unique and coherent ideas in your head.
You develop technical ability by practicing instruments, studying theory, doing ear training, etc.
Artistic ability is developed by listening to LOTS of music, as yyunko7764 said. And when listening to lots of music, you can't just listen to lots of the same type. If you only listen to C418 music your whole life, all you'll do is make more C418 music and never develop your own voice. You have to listen to different music, even if you literally do not enjoy listening to that music. You increase your music tastes with exposure, so if you listen to something you don't enjoy a lot, you will genuinely start enjoying it and understanding the music emotionally. Yes, that might not be "natural", but how else are you going to develop your music taste? We are born with no taste and develop our base tastes by exposure at a young age, so as long as we follow that same principle of exposure we can expand our taste at any age. As musicians, if we want to make unique music, we need to blend various musical ideas that we've heard in the world, but in order to even understand those ideas, we first must expose ourselves to their style until we understand and enjoy it.
@@yyunko7764this can be simplified far further. When you know the math that goes into making a scale, you know all scales simultaneously. If you know a single major scale, you know them all. If you know a single minor scale, you know them all, etc. Victor Wooten is a fantastic bass player and musical educator who goes over this stuff. "The basics" can seem daunting to someone with no traditional music knowledge, but it can be simplified so much further than how they would teach it. Understanding and writing music is actually very simple when boiled down and disseminated. The hard part is writing something worthwhile.

How 2 music
Jabibi among us >:D
Hi check mark
You know this person is good at recreating Toby Fox's music that he gets demonetized
But besides that, this videos really explains how the music is made.
Still feels so wrong to say we played this game in our childhood when it feels so new and refreshing. I'm making changes in my life, I have goals now, goals that are partly inspired by Toby and I'm gonna do my best to not let anything get in my way because I'm sick of it, I let people I trust turn me from my desired path, no longer, I understand now that it isn't too late to follow my dreams, it never was and never will be, I understand now that if I want to be capable of succeeding, I need only to want it, really want, if anything, the hardships I went through to make it back to this path have only fueled a stronger passion to pursue it. Toby was one of a few who helped me discover the path I wanted to take, due to depression and judgement I initially denied it, years later, not long after overcoming my struggles, I decided to play Undertale again, it rekindled the dreams of my past and presented me with a future, a future that involves more than just wasting my life away, waiting for it to end, so here I am, now equipped with the tools I need and a burning determination inside of me, fueled by passion, ready to achieve my dreams even if I will never fulfill them because the journey is far more exciting than the destination and without the journey, the dreams are hollow.
I can imagine someone reading this and thinking "it's only a game" and yes, it is. Make no mistake, I am not an Undertale fanatic, you don't need to be to still have been influenced by it. Tonnes of things and people influence you on the daily basis and some more than others, I'm just very aware of what I consume as I'm quite observational so I am only showing my appreciation. It's crazy to think about how different people can receive the same piece of information, where I can see a beautifully crafted painting which I can relate to on an emotional level, the very creator of said painting may have put no thought into it and just liked the colours... this idea represents many things in life
I thought the “Sans is Patrick” revelation was bad, but “Flowey is Ronald McDonald” is somehow worse...
ran ran ru!
Honestly this video made me want to learn how to make music for games. I’ll probably have to start with learning how to play the piano first
There are many ways to start getting into music, go for whatever interests you the most c:
I'm happy my video inspired you!
dude you won't regret it. Whether you end up making music for games or not, music is just something with limitless possiblities and it's something you can sink hours into and be fulfilled.
I know I'm 5 months late, but if you havent already, go for it dude :)
@@ToffeeBun h0i
@@ToffeeBun Bro I'm sure your video inspired a lot more people than you think, including myself, I'm developing a game with some friends and I'm responsible for the sound and music design of it, this video really hyped me up more about studying these topics :D

As someone who's been recreating Undertale's music for years now I can say you've nailed how Toby composed these pieces. Also fun fact: Out of all the songs in the Undertale OST, most of them are not that hard to accurately recreate apart from Megalovania, which has taken me 2 years of recreating to even getting close to how the original sounds.
Mate, I just listened to the very same re-creation you mentioned. It's damn near perfect! Very well done
Megalovania is not hard to recreate
@@who13837 do it then lmao
@@greensandwich. I already did it for a long time and it came out almost the same as the original hahaha
@@who13837 let's hear it then how'd you do it?
This is an extremely well-made video. I have 6+ years of experience in FL Studio and I actually began by creating works inspired by Undertale's soundtrack -- I am already familiar with nearly everything presented in the video, but I was still entertained by how efficiently everything was put together. Seeing thoughts from experienced musicians who had no idea about this sort of stuff was definitely interesting.
One thing I wasn't aware of was Toby Fox's "How do I get good at music?" post. The last bit in particular about people being inspired by Undertale really hit close to home, as Undertale has been a huge inspiration in my projects and creative endeavors in general (despite how dissimilar they would seem at first glance). The chances that Toby Fox will interact with whatever I end up making is one in a million, but the thought of the people behind your inspirations interacting with your content is very nice.
Keep that hope! I sure will :')
god hearing undertale and childhood together makes me feel so fucking old and im only 16

I wasn't aware you could get demonetized for using Toby Fox's music,
I thought it was one of those things where he didn't mind.
Yeah, but TH-cam pulls crap, anyway. They don't give a fig what creators do and don't allow.
TOBY doesn't mind. Another company does tho ::
This is some heavy forshadowing
@@thehydrationman5500 elaborate?
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 Toby never minded others using his music, but the company who owned the distribution rights would still claim videos using his stuff. He however just asked others to appeal to these.
My memory may not be perfect but about half a year ago when the fangame undertale yellow released, it remixed some songs from Undertale. The owner of the company that distributed Toby’s music threw an online tantrum where he started a pissy fit over the game for being a violation of copyright despite the fact it was a free fan game that Tony gave permission to make. He also went trigger happy with song claims on TH-cam videos at this time.
Fox however disowned the statements said by the ceo, donated a charitable amount to the Yellow team and allowed it to remain up with all its music.
Ahhhh I've always wanted to know which soundfonts he used! Loved this video, really good insight on Toby's mindset that I could stand to takeaway myself. Keep it up!
Hey, I’m subbed to you, and agreed!
Fancy seeing you here.
You have no idea how helpful this video was for me as an aspiring composer! Toby Fox was the entire reason why I started writing music, and so seeing a deep dive like this helped me understand more about how he does what he does! Also, that OMORI reference at the end was beautiful.
Bruh same here
OM💡RI is a fucking masterpiece
mE tO
I watched this video 4 months ago,played omori and watched it again so i realized now from the amazing reference
yo watching this has honestly taught me more cool intricacies of music + made me want to make music more than any other tutorial i've watched lol
This video is seriously underrated.
I agree, deserves so many more views
Memento Mori
as someone who’s not naturally musically inclined but is interested in making it, this was incredibly insightful!
@@orngjce223 I agree. Not to be THAT guy, but I would say don't learn theory if you don't want to learn theory. It can be overwhelming for a beginner, I would know. Only reason I know some of it is because I got interested in it a little later down the road. It REALLY helps with musical understanding but is not a necessity to make good music.
@@wasabi5134 I disagree (politely)
I think you can for sure be a producer without knowing music theory, but- by the fact this is a TOBY FOX video. They’re probably more interested in deep melodies, and compelling arrangements.
I urge every single producer to learn the basics, and practice practice practice. (And hopefully practice with an instrument)
Not to gatekeep. Anyone can make music with some cash and creativity. But knowing the basics of music theory is like a + 200% boost in the amount of time it will take for you to make listenable music.
There’s a 30 minute video that’s REALLY helpful and entertaining :) watch it.
And like this video says: you don’t need anything crazy to make magic.
@@mkatkitkat Yeah, makes sense.
I think a big part of composing for games is just how accurate the song is to the situation; Toby clearly excels in this, as it comes down to pure creativity in the field of composition. You can know all the theory you want, but when it comes to the CONTEXT, your song might not be as impactful if the mood, rhythm, instrumentation etc don't match what's going on at the moment
@@wasabi5134 i was just talking about regular music but- true.
For OSTs tho I don’t think Context and Music Theory are mutually exclusive? I actually think they need each other to make good OSTs like Toby Fox.
It also seems like you think music theory is like not creative? Or like makes you less creative. I promise you doesn’t. It’s just a groundwork for (western) music. I promise it’s not scary lol. Once you learn it it’s almost like “how could I ever music without knowing this?” Like sewing without needle.
@@mkatkitkat No, no music theory and creativity/context def need to go hand in hand (if you know it), neither one hinders the other. Just saying that only knowing theory without attention to creativity and context could make you fall flat (pun unintended) in the end. If you are willing to immerse your creativity into the world that is built in the game, even without theory, you can make something amazing. Knowing it will only help, but isn't necessary when it comes to an OST imo.
Music theory itself is like a tool you can use to express musical creativity, not that it isn't creative? Like, if you don't know it or want to know it that doesn't mean you CAN'T make good music. For beginners: if theory is interesting to you, PLEASE learn it by all means, but don't give up on making magic if learning it becomes too much, maybe you won't need it at all.
But I'm a noob to composing so what do I know :p
I'm genuinely crying after your video man. This is the first vid of yours I've ever seen but those ending words got to me. I'm studying to be a game designer and although I'm pretty confident in my ability to code, things like art and music are all new to me. I've been trying to learn music and drawing so I can make my own game. I really hope to be that kid who grew up with Undertale and makes a cool new game for people to enjoy, although I don't know if I'll be able to surpass it. I know you posted this a year ago but thank you, this video was just what I needed!
Oh hey, music?
Same! I really want to develop the composing skills to make something as eye-watering and uplifting as Toby's songs :) Making my own undertale inspired game, hope it goes well for me, and for you as well :)
My friend, Ashley is actually working with toby for some of the tracks for the next chapters, she also uses FL studio, so even though I don’t have the application myself, I can see myself making some music after watching ash work on some of the greatest shit I’ve ever heard

thank you man
hehe thanks!! i appreciate the comment :D
It's crazy how this person can re-create the music so accurately and make it sound even better
That's a con of using someone's sample libraries without at least editing them. Anyone with a bit knowledge and straight hands would able to recreate it or be able to recognise what libraries you were using.
if you know the soundfonts it's pretty easy
@@ivanonlyone7160 why would it be a con though
con as in downside not like confidence man (conman). Some people might want to feel more original or mysterious. You might accidentally put yourself into a category. Not inherently bad. Just something that could happen by accident. @@aykarain
@@morgue502 it's also easy to do from scratch if you have a breadth of knowledge on sound design.
I started crying knowing how possible you just made these kinds of compositions for me, in my 6 years of using FLStudio I had never heard of these sound fonts or had the idea of copying them, I always messed around with fresh synths. Thank you from the bottom of my soul for creating this video and bless you
I'm happy I could help at all :'D
ive wanted to do this for a while!
Brother, you are a frickin’ legend! You’re the guy who rebuilt Undertale songs from scratch and you did it perfectly! You’re my source of inspiration and I aspire to be like you in the future.
Wow I can’t believe undertale can now be considered of apart of someone’s childhood! The game aged perfectly it feels like and it feels so replayable.
yes!! it came out when I was 11 and was one of the things that pushed me to start drawing
holy shit; it blows my mind how incredibly close, if not identical, you got with many of these recreations. excellent work mate ❤️
If i were to see Toby one day, i will clap to him and say “Your music is amazing!”
I hate how talented you are LMAO it blows my mind, good stuff!
3:39 Okay but the simplified NES version of Tem Shop actually sounds really nice.
But it's less Tem
Quick little addendum: YMCK Magical 8big Plug 2 (released in 2022) now supports custom envelopes for volume, pitch, and pulse duty cycle, so you can now recreate a lot more 2A03-type sounds in it.
9:50 "that recreation was so good it got me demonetized." This is literally the best case of "weird flex, but okay." I've ever seen in my life up until this point. holy fuck.

I'll never unhear sans being Patrick and Flowey being Ronald mcDonald the flippin clown...Jeez, Toby, you're one fascinating Dog! And that quote about Undertale being an inspiration in 10 years? Man I kinda teared up. Toby's such a cool person...
Re: legality of soundfonts, in case someone else hasn't already covered this
Using a soundfont is not the same as sampling bits of music from a game and using it in your own. It's more akin to sampling the *instruments* that were used to compose a game's soundtrack, and using them to compose your own soundtrack. The SNES's sound chip is basically just a digital sampler (massive oversimplification but bear with me), and the samples that you hear in SNES games actually came from hardware synthesizers. For example, there's an interview with Yasunori Mitsuda, the composer of Chrono Trigger, where he mentions using an Akai S-3200 and a E-MU EIII during the Super Nintendo days.
So, if you knew what hardware synths were used to compose what game music, you could feasibly get your hands on one, or find a sample pack uploaded by someone who has one and sampled it, or find/buy a digital recreation of the synth in question, and get an almost exact recreation of that classic sound in higher quality. This is how people are making resampled versions of classic tunes.
Some older consoles like the Genesis use actual synthesizer chips (the Genesis specifically uses a Yamaha YM2612 FM synthesis chip) which means you can theoretically mod a Genesis to accept MIDI inputs and turn it into a synthesizer (and people have done it, look up megadrive synth).
Just experienced Undertale few days ago and I'm super glad that I took the initiative for it. Ty Toby for this piece of art and ty Toffee for doing this video. Feel like all my life's path has changed because of everything related to this game. It inspired me so much broooooooo
Okay holy shit THIS is how tutorials should be made. Huge respect for you my dude!
I'm making a game inspired by undertale. I've been working on it for about a year now and it's coming along really well. The core concept is where every NPC is treated as an actually character/ person rather than just a computer program, they will remember your actions and will react differently depending on how you interact with them. Using this, I was also able to create a system that makes it feel like the game is writing itself which will determine the ending you get and how your character will develop. I feel that this project has potential and I hope that I can inspire others in the future
it is cool)
I wish you success with your project! It sounds awesome!
So the concept is basically the same as Undertale but I guess with a different story? I’d like to see that
@@villager96
Undertale's NPCs arent the same as this concept
will your make a video about it?
Dude last year I watched this and was puzzled, I Understood nothing, downloaded fl and nes vst, and gave up. I was overwhelmed. I somehow still got into producing and the algorithm brought me back. Not only did understand everything, I learned a lot which i can immedediately incorporate in my workflow. THANK YOU.
There’s something so satisfying and awesome seeing you recreate these songs almost exactly the way it was originally composed. This definitely inspired me to pick music back up
Wow this video is so inspiring... I've had a fascination for sampling in music for some time, but I've always discarded the idea of making my own music. I could just go and learn a bunch of stuff, the things I make don't necessarily need to be good. My motivation to learn could be based solely on my love for music, to get into the technicalities that I would otherwise never learn about..
Honestly not surprised that the earthbound sound box is used. It’s literally where he got his inspiration for the game
His music just makes me feel good, and extremely nostalgic even though I’ve only been into the game for maybe 2 years
Less than a year for me, and it already feels nostalgic.

As an aspiring composer and writer who plays video games (and is CONSTANTLY distracting me from writing my book i'm working on, or any tracks I could potentially make) I love learning about everything that goes into music (and narrative) design. This is kind of one of those little facts that is both interesting to me and can help me grow. Like a kind of grade school we never got because of standardization.
Watch as the OST Recreated community bashes him for not getting 100% accuracy on his recreations lmao
In all seriousness though, this was a great video! A very insightful, yet very straight-forward look into music production. Great work!
shows just how musicality is way more important than "quality" tools . gives inspiration
This video was so insightful, I have always loved Undertale, but the production in it is something else. A breakdown like this that goes in depth down to the exact VSTs and sounds Toby used is so awesome. Amazing work!
