Title: CV3 no Densetsu or whatever (CVIII OST JP+US)
Post by: Chernabogue on January 25, 2015, 09:52:38 PM: A member of TheShizz (a VGM/remix community) took both NA and JP versions of CV3 and created a new version of the soundtrack. It sounds really nice.

It's almost as if they were made for each other... Yes, this sounds cheesy and romantic so don't judge me! lol, I kid.

But I don't think he shared it the way this guy shared it so, big props for a more complete and shareable project.

Is his work essentially the same? I'd like to hear some :)

On another note.

I would like to download the music this guy had mixed together, however you have to buy it. Is he allowed to do that? This is music that is copy-written and owned by Konami. Does he have some sort of contract with the company that would allow him to do this?

As AF said, you can put "0" and DL it for free. As for the copyright issue, I don't know if he contacted Konami or not.

https://www.youtube.com/user/Homie0static (https://www.youtube.com/user/Homie0static)

I have to say the Shizz did a much better job than I did smoothing out the sounds when I tried a similar project.
The ones on the second channel do not have the extra sounds that the Famicom produces via the VRC6 chip.
I wanted to try a different approach and see how the US version would sound with the import's harder, heavier drums.
Mine were done using only NES hardware friendly sound channels but I did not use the CVII drum or noise samples only the
Japanese port. Hope you like them as well.

Please excuse the crudity of my channel.

Your savage man, you.

Post by: Abnormal Freak on February 02, 2015, 11:04:29 PM: I like how some of the lower end sounds are brought to the forefront of Kirby Pufocia's mix. Love me some bass.

I haven't been able to delve too deeply into it yet, but there are some moments where I almost wish the Japanese drums were used. I always thought thems was goods soundinz.
