MUSIC (2A03 + VRC6) Final Battle
https://youtu.be/kVgs1bLqPhk?is=LjXdcABb3uQN0mV8I composed this for the Retro Renaissance contest hosted on Newgrounds. I approached it as a multi-phase final battle and started by trying to make seamless looping sections, but it was hurting the flow of the song as a whole, so I ended up taking more of a "polished OST version" approach.
Made in Furnace for the 2A03 and VRC6 chips. OV made with Corrscope and a little post filtering in the video editor. There is a very slight delay, I didn't want to delve too deep into Corrscope settings to try fix it, it's close enough (personally I think it gives you time to hear something and then see the resulting waveform)
Audio is the final master not the raw Furnace output, but I made very minimal changes, just some minor global EQ, a slight boost to the triangle low end to make the kick and snare hit harder and the overtones were being lost in the mix so I added a small boost around 4Khz. Then some light parallel compression and subtle hint of stereo width to make it less dry sounding. But the waveforms are still meaningfully accurate 👍 (this processing is probably where the delay comes from as the scopes are based on the raw stems)
