And for a very good reason. GREAT WORK!!!

redbox · 16:18, 25 April 13

Agreed, it sounds really good!

McKlain · 18:16, 25 April 13

Thanks guys!

Gotta blame it on Devilmarkus, he asked me for the cover many months ago, but I just finished it a few days ago, thanks to my slackery

TFM · 19:04, 25 April 13

Yeah! And it sounds damn GREAT!

Great technique.

But the melody isn't quite accurate.

Where exactly? I can release a fixed version on the music disk.

I guess it's because you didn't use all 10 audio channels... (You know? For every ear = 1 channel)

Sooo nice. Even my girl is not complaining as I'm playing this!

ralferoo · 18:03, 06 May 13

Yeah, really nice tune. Just wondering what speed it runs at (as in 50Hz, 100Hz, 300Hz etc) as it sounds quite different to most other AY tunes...

McKlain · 23:14, 06 May 13

Standard 50hz, made in Arkos Tracker. I'm not even using "hard sounds" or "sync buzzer" sounds, just good old square waves.

The thing is that the source material is pretty good, a great chiptune.
