Mic audio in this video is quite low, didn't realize while I was recording. 1. Mic was facing the wrong way (omegalul) 2. Recorded this at 3am so I could sleep in
Hey, thanks so much for taking the time to do this! I appreciate the kind words and I'm really glad to hear that you like it. I'm gonna address some things you mentioned: 1. Favorites - This would be a great feature! Unfortunately I'm bound by the limits of the program I used to make this, so that might not be possible just yet. :( 2. The ADSR controls are a little touchy - I do plan to make them a little less so. 3. In a recent update, I made some of the knob fills a little thicker so that it's easier to see. 4. The reverb is not *technically* 1:1 with the PS1. It is however a similar algorithm and so it's very reminiscent of the PS1 and the Sega Saturn without directly copying either. Leaving the damp turned all the way down gives you the most authentic sound. 5. Evil Pig Guy shipped broken, and I am so sorry about that. It's fixed now! The add-on is free if you've paid for GuyEngine, but there is an expanded version that includes more instruments if you want to spend a couple bucks. 6. Full disclosure, I am a musician/sound designer and not a programmer! All of the samples in this are meticulously hand-crafted and intended to act as a unique alternative to video game soundfonts. Most of the sounds in those soundfonts are owned either by the game's publisher, or by major synth/DSP companies like Roland, and Korg. So GuyEngine is a safe alternative for folks who want to make 32bit game music without fear of being copyright smacked. I feel like people use soundfonts specifically because they capture a specific vibe, and because they are free and accessible. I made GuyEngine $15 because I wanted to maintain that accessibility. Yes, a ton of work did go into this, but the overwhelming positive reception and kindness that I've received as a result of this work more than makes up for what I might have gotten from a $30 price tag. Thanks again for doing this, and I can't wait to hear what you make! - side note, I am going to be doing a community showcase where I play a bunch of tracks made by folks with GuyEngine. If you're interested in that, please submit one and I'll share your name and socials while your track plays!
