Post the most epic and beautiful chiptunes.
I start with some gems from Alberto Gonzalez (Mc Alby), famous video game music composer.
these are very nice, wish i could contribute something
what's the best way to convert a big amount of mp3/wav/ogg/flacs into a webm with a picture?

Grounseed has a great soundtrack.
>>1474835
Anamanaguchi has very good music.
That Album is pure gold.
>>1472580

>>1472577
Gonzalez is the best, but I don't see the point in music webms. Especially if the music is readily available.

And to a further extent there is actually no such thing as "8-bit music" so don't be autistic this is a thread for PSG music, FM synthesis, etc.
>>1475497
I agree with you, OP is full of shit.
Very noice stuff here. Imma post some of my little home made creations and bump this thread.

Sound a lot like some Astérix & Obélix tracks. Did Infogrames compose the soundtracks?
>>1475497
Hey, don't blame me. OP insisted on calling it "8-bit" music and I am just trying to keep people in line.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaIoW1aL9GE
>>1475807
Asterix & Obelix on the GB/C/A, DOS and SNES was indeed scored by the one and only Alberto Jose Gonzalez. It was his only SNES soundtrack, as his company, Bit Managers, only handled the 8-bit versions for Infogrames, since they had their own in house team for 16-bit.
Though I don't get that they did not realise that Gonzalez was a much better musician than their own artists.

>>1472577
He is about the only one who produced something worthwhile on the Game Gear.
>>1485419
This is fucking excellent.
Amazing what some of these guys could squeeze out of the Master System / Game Gear soundchip, considering it was quite hard to make it even sound halfway decent
>>1481602
What the fuck is this? I've played that game and the real track does NOT sound like that. This sounds like it was deliberately distorted. It's fucking painful to listen to.
>>1485419
Jason Page also figured out how to do it.
>>1486316

>>1522089
None of these are shitty, quite decent actually.
>>1481591
this shit is rad as fuck damn
>>1476013
This game's music was a riot because every track was a different mix or musical style of the same melody. I like the Halloween land one.
>>1482954
Beautiful! I played this game once, but never let the menu music play.
The Willow intro is not to be missed! I got chills as a young boy.
>>1523841
That tune isn't the menu music. It's actually from the last level called "The Moon"
>>1497672
Yes it is. Just because it uses samples for the instruments doesn't mean it's not chiptune.
>>1485583
i've noticed some youtube uploaders have been adding echo effects to nes music to make them sound more "epic" but really it's just annoying.
>>1486253
Great music, it is a shame the game is trash.
>>1480051

warioland 3 had the best soundtrack
Someone spoonfeed me what the most convenient and fastest way is to convert a an audio file and an image into a webm.
rendering a video and then using webm for retards sounds like a handful.
Is there another solution outside of ffmpeg?
>>1526439
found this on stackoverflow
ffmpeg -r 1 -loop 1 -i image.jpg -i audio.mp3 -tune stillimage -r 1 -shortest webm.webm
haven't had any problems yet, just takes as long as the audio track
>>1490641
Any kind souls gonna turn this into webm's??
>>1526439
>rendering a video and then using webm for retards sounds like a handful.
It's not. Just turn the FPS all the way down. You don't need 30 frames a second of the same picture over 3 minutes. Rendering the video and the webm should take no more than 2 minutes.
i got a couple

Went through every remix of that song from every CV game one day and was pretty disappointed that CV1 had the only good version of it. It's almost impressive how bad most of the remixes of that song are considering how well many songs were remixed in other games. If only they had included it in CV4, I'm sure they would have gotten it right in that at least

bumpers. This is probably the best music thread on this board in at least 14 months. I really wish I had examples to post, but I'm still deep in the discovery thread of chiptune music.

>>1473223
I wonder if the composer knew what game they were making music for. That shit is too action packed for pictionary
>>1542445
Tim Follin, for most parts, didn't.
>>1543022
It's not that he didn't know, he just didn't care apparently
He credits his lack of success because the music he composed barely had anything to do with the tone of the games

https://desuarchive.org/wsg/thread/1472577/
Use the archives.
Why are you saving from here by the way, these are just rips from youtube videos with a shitload of audio compression on already heavily compressed audio.
There is software that you can use to listen to game music that actually emulates the sound chips. You can download entire game OSTs that are only a couple of KB and they'll always be pristine quality because they're being synthesized in real time instead of listening to a recording.
Go to https://vgmrips.net/packs/ for some examples, you can even listen in the browser.
