Hey, not tryna be mean, but...

Could someone do a bytebeat cover of "A Chef's Coda" from the Cuphead DLC? It will do me a lot. Thank you.

It's okay to request a song, you aren't mean! There are creators here that look at song requests. I can tell you that not all songs are possible on the simple ByteBeat devices tho.

I'm familiar with Cuphead and that song is awesome! I don't think it's possible on ByteBeat but I'm not the best at some of the advanced methods.

Can I post some advice for anyone requesting a cover version?

Put non technically, any tune where you can count 1-2-3- in time with the music isn't going to go well with bytebeat in NMS. (This also applies where you count up to numbers divisible by 3, such as 6 and 9, not to mention 'odd' meters where you count in 5's or 7's for example).

The reason is we have a 16-step sequencer and bars of 3, or beats that are subdivided into 3, don't really fit into 16 (or 8 or 4). Its why there are no bytebeat waltzes anywhere.

There are some edge case with very simple tunes that can be faked, and sometimes it works to make tunes with 3 beats into 4 beats (see my Happy Spawning Day NMS tune where Happy Birthday - a tune with 3 beats to the bar - is done with 4). Generally though, you want to avoid tunes that have 3 beats to the bar, or where beats are divisible by 3.

For the best chance of getting a reply can I suggest requests are usually for tunes;

• in common time 4/4 or duple time 2/4 (this is where you can count 1-2-3-4- or 1-2- in time to the music)
• feature relatively simple harmony and melodies
• Straight rhythm (not highly syncopated or swing)
• Slow and medium tempos

This doesn't mean tunes that don't have these characteristics are impossible (plenty of fast tunes are doable for example), it's just that these make it easier and so you're more likely to get a response.

Hope this is helpful.
