basically this is pretty self explanatory because all my remixes are very straightforward with their names, but I wanted to go into a bit more detail with the workflow and progress on each one, and what makes each song what it is
so! megalovania, that's original...
good song, so why not make another remix.megalovania for a while has been kind of a song I keep returning to every once in a while and the quality each time sort of captures my progress from one to the next. this, unsurprisingly being my best regalovania remix, is a dubstep-y complextro genre but it was easier to classify it as dubstep so i went with that. the start is pretty straight forward using simple sound design and some reverb & vibrato to build the distant, grand yet funky-ish feeling. drop is just me fucking around with Serum and making a bunch of growls and bass fills to make an overall interesting, but not immediately noticeable texture of bass for the song. given complaints i have received about some of my megalovanias not being Homestuck, or not being undertale, i just kinda chose a key and crammed them both in, as you can hear at the sections where the versions differ - one version on the left, the other on the right. this game the melody a cool split and created some chaos in the vibe so i went with it uwu
towards the end of the song is my bro just doin a solo on my keys and i just went with it,,, i really like how it sounds together with the Homestuck megalovania in the background that joins the second time it plays (of course i added vibrato on the original soundfont as well because that sounds fucking awesome)
ending is a pretty standard ending, just added some delay and reverb to close it off with a cute melody change at the very end
unlike the other remixes, i had no intention of what i was gonna do when i came into making this remix, so using sound design to make the bass texture was a really cool experiment for me, to just try to make something without worrying what it ends up in the end
