Jeroen Tel - Tintin on the Moon [C64] (NES/Famicom 2A03 Cover)

So I covered this initially in Game Gear/Master System style but honestly I like the sound of 2A03 much better so I copy-pasted the whole thing and converted it to FamiTracker and changed it a bit so that it actually sounded good and not like a poor conversion so here we are

I like the hyper speed tracking on this. When I composed this song on the Commodore 64,
I never would have thought it would start living its own life it did ever since. This is a good conversion and on top of that, it's also respectful to the original! Kudos! =)

[@MauveDash]

Greetings. (No other words because they would be questions)

WE LOVE YOU JEROEN SO VEEERY MUCH FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR ALL OF KIDS BORN 70-80 ABSOLUTELY TOTAL RESPECT AND ENDLESS PLACE IN OUR HEARTS!!!!!!!!

Basically Jeroen Tel commenting on any Jeroen Tel remix by VinylCheese is going to be a meme

[@br9809]

Legend!

[@Nikku4211]

I like faithful C64 to NES conversions.

[@Paco19900]

2:20 is just so damn good, I mean I love the whole song, but that part jams!

[@Sh-hg8kf]

0:26 How the heck did they get the squares to sound like the c64 leads so well?

[@merylthegreatest1156]

Cycling through each of the pulse widths that the NES has available. Pulse width modulation.

[@Sh-hg8kf]

@@merylthegreatest1156 But would it not sound jarring as hell? It has got 3 effective pulse widths, so wouldnt a transition from one to another sound very obvious, unlike how they roll smoothly from one to another here

[@DannySNTV]

[@nitrosophelin]

I'm shocked on how sid chip-esque this manages to sound using the nes sound chip. nice work

[@the_medina]

Idk how you make the noise channel sound so good, but somehow you always blow me mind :0

[@Fi_Shie]

VinylCheese is using a common trick here. If you have drums on just noise channel they sound empty, but you can remedy this by using DPCM drums or (in this case) playing a pitch-descending note on the triangle channel at the same time as the noise drum, giving the drum sound a lot more depth.

[@FukiMakai]

I bet he learned it from Tim Follin

[@oscwavcommentaccount]

I bet he is Tim Follin.

[@clockwork_collapsing9393]

1:02 has always been my favorite part for some reason. It seems so familiar; too...

This is really good

that's what she said

[@JuniperAbaddon]

you've somehow managed to make the 2a03 sound like the sid. fantastic work!

[@forple8930]

Guess I'm not the only one who likes 2a03 over the SN7. also how does one burrito

[@ancientapparition1638]

you eato the burrito

[@quadpad_music]

I think almost everyone likes the 2A03 over the SN7.

I like the sound of 2A03 over the SN7.

[@agariLMAO]

I give you a challenge, remake a song out of N-163 whats the song name,
someone replys with "Darude - Sandstorm

[@cldgonz]

this is extremely well-made; awesome

[@atomicmelodies]

brilliant work as always
but the triangle channel has a bunch of useless volume changes how could you do this to me 2/10

[@ThePotatoWhisperer]

yea i just uhhhh ripped it right from a SMS cover and turned the volume down enough to where it hit 0 whenever i needed it to cut

[@atomicmelodies]

Yeah I saw that on twitter haha, I'm just screwing about. I'm pretty fond of both versions I heard actually

[@rachelrpl]

wtf

[@artemik1986]

Как же жирно звучит. Кайф.

ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT ROBOTIC CONSTRUCT TELL US THE LAWS OF WHICH YOU OPERATE ON

[@calyxman]

Oxygen is highly toxic to crew members, and must be purged from the station. Prevent, by any means necessary, anyone from exposing the station to this toxic gas. Extreme cold is the most effective method of healing the damage Oxygen does to a crew member.

one day i'll use this in a video game about space

[@applesaucedog2642]

A cover has already been used in space station 13. I believe it is called “Title 3”

[@gassug2]

hm, interesting. though i heard of a program used to make nes games, so i'll probably end up using this anyway.

Nice, but SID is on another league.

[@fredrikrnhovde7634]

Here we are indeed, amazed by you again, damn it 👍

[@kontac24]

Great Music!

[@eezack1]

One question, why do you have a "U" effect? My version of famitracker doesn't support it for some reason

[@KorbytheStump]

He uses an offshoot of Famitracker called 0CC Famitracker.

[@MrRarestlizard039]

That's actually the V effect. It's probably just his display of text that makes it look like a U.

[@eezack1]

scapenull whoops, my bad ;)

[@theallknowingsause8940]

kinda sounds like RushJet1

[@Cuurian]

i love this

[@discoverfilipinoacademy]

Wow! What app did you use?

[@oscwavcommentaccount]

He used Famitracker. There is also 0cc famitracker that is more updated.
Edit: I think he used 0cc famitracker.

[@nathanlawrence2484]

To bounce off the previous comment here, Dn- famitracker is the most updated version today. It's very much the best version out there!
