This Week's Cover (A New Favorite!) Free Early Download
I'm so incredibly happy with how this came out. I feel like I learned a lot more about this genre and how to mix music as a whole (especially bass levels). I hope you enjoy!

ALRIGHT. It will most likely be something Animal Crossing related. I have two ideas (both of which will likely happen, but I'm still deciding which will come first):
Attempting to Make My Own K.K Slider Song: I got the soundfonts for Animal Crossing (the Gamecube version, but still). I thought it'd be fun to try and make my own K.K song. I believe the soundfont includes his voice!
K.K Cruisin' Shady Cicada Cover: This one kind of speaks for itself, but I always wanted tot try play...

Due to some issues on my end (and due to a bit of a faulty system), I've had a few issues with drive access in terms of permissions, among other things. I'm going to remove everyone for a little bit and then add you all back tonight. Be sure to check your emails within 24 hours for an invite link!
2020-05-10 08:47:44 +0000 UTC View PostYou won't be charged for this week's video (small update)
Hey friends! So I'm uploading one of the ideas I mentioned (reacting to old songs I made) thanks to the help of a friend/editor/fellow patron (Depriety). The original plan was to add little remade riffs throughout the video, but I unfortunately didn't have the time or resources (My guitar cable broke, so I have to order a new one this weekend). Since there is technically no music being made, I wont be charging for it. I hope you enjoy the video!
2020-05-09 14:01:25 +0000 UTC View PostSECOND UPDATE drive invites coming soon!
I was not expecting so many people to join this month 😅 I've been purging inactive emails and such while keeping everyone else around. You shall get an invite within the next day or two (if you're within the tier)!

Hello, friends! I wanted to get something out of the way real quick. I really appreciate the level of patience you all have on this site. I know I can be late with these weekly updates and I thought I should provide a proper reason. Like a few other YouTubers, I am winging a lot of it. Sometimes I'll make a late weekly post because that's when I finally come up with an idea 😅 I want to improve with updates and replies though, so I'll be doing my best to do so!
So the IDEAS f...
And now....GUITAR/BASS TABS (April 2020)
This one is super fun to play on lead guitar and bass (for me at least). I hope you enjoy. Rock on!

Here are all the demo ideas I ran by the person commissioning. The previous posts contains a version mixed and mastered by Sixteen in Mono, but this version here is the one I mixed for the project. I hope you enjoy it and all these other silly ideas!

This is a special commission song! It will end up on stores at some point, but I'm not sure when (it's up to the person who commissioned) so at the moment, this is a special Patreon-only download!
2020-05-01 09:58:00 +0000 UTC View PostMaking a Boss Theme out of a Microwave (3/3)
This video somehow managed to bring the channel out of the hole youtube put it in (for me taking a break). I was not expecting to make anything too enjoyable, but the end result ended up making me super happy. I'd like to recreate this song with my usual programs to get something even more legitimate out of it. Maybe even a real theme for my game idea. I hope you guys enjoyed this one! That ends this month's paid posts! Free song downloads and tabs are coming next!
2020-05-01 06:39:54 +0000 UTC View PostLet the Battles Begin! (Metal Cover) (2/3)
This was a time and a half to record. One of my favorite covers yet (the game itself is absolutely amazing as well. Definitely does a good job of capturing that old FF7 feel while still making it feel modern). I hope you enjoyed this cover (and I guess...my quarantine hair)!
2020-05-01 06:37:01 +0000 UTC View PostMaking a Boss Battle Theme in 10 Minutes (1/3)
Despite the anxiety, this was one of my favorite challenges yet, mainly because the song turned into an idea that I'm legitimately working on now. The verse melody is surprisingly something that I can't just throw away. I hope you guys enjoyed this video!
2020-05-01 06:34:34 +0000 UTC View PostNew Song and Guitar Tabs coming in about an hour, video posts incoming
The rewards are coming in! Got a new song that's been mixed by sixteen in mono and some guitar/bass tabs to accompany it! It will be ready in about an hour. Let me just make these video posts before I forget :')

For this week, I finally finished another Rock/Metal song like "Here I Come" and "Lost in Time"! It's not related to the two as it was done for a commission, but it was an insanely fun one to make (I'm actually in the process of making ANOTHER for the same person and it's a lot heavier). I will have is mixed and mastered by sixteen in mono if all goes well and I'll have a download for you this week! There may be tabs for it as well coming.
Other than that, I still have some idea involvi...

SO I have two ideas in mind. That being said, I also need to work on commissions, so if I can't finish one of these video ideas by this week, I will delay the upload till the next (and you will not be charged). THE IDEAS ARE:
"Yoshi's New Island Soundtrack Review: Was it Really that Bad?" - So as I said, I wanted to do soundtrack reviews and do an analysis on the compositions themselves and what makes them so interesting (...or NOT interesting). I thought a controversial soundtrack woul...

First of all, thank you to all the new patrons who joined the patreon! You'll be getting an invite link to the google drive later today (and I'll be replying to your DMs as well)/
As for video plans, I am....making a boss theme out of my microwave. I waited till now to announce my plans because I wanted to see if I could do it first. Well... I did it :') I SHOULD be able to share a demo or possibly the whole thing with you all later today! I would also like to discuss possible new...

It has been done! It took awhile to get the arrangement together and make it work, but I hope you enjoy!

A small thing for now. More Song demos and full downloads coming soon! I apologize for the slow start, but things should finally be back to normal by next week!
2020-04-03 12:41:40 +0000 UTC View PostI AM BACK (Kinda) - Plans for this month! (And Song Demos Coming)
Hello, friends! The break has been a long one. I was not expecting a pandemic to happen during it, but nonetheless, I hope you've all been good and safe. These are strange times, but just like anything else, we'll get through it :) Wash those hands, lads.
Now for this month's plans - I'm opening with a "10 minute attempt" video tomorrow. Its from a stream I did back in August, but I figured editing this would be a good way to get back into the work mindset (song download coming in...
2020-04-03 12:40:13 +0000 UTC View PostIMPORTANT Update: Today's Video is delayed. Not doing well. I need a serious break
Hey, everyone. So you may or may not have noticed, but I've been pretty invisible here lately, not being able to state plans for the future or anything like that. I've been alluding to it for awhile, but I am incredibly burnt out. This whole "make a whole song and video" a week thing is ridiculous. I hate to admit it, but I had a legitimate mental breakdown tonight while trying to get the song for today to sound good. I mixed it for hours and hours (almost 8). I tried making some of kind of b...

This was something I was not expecting to come up with. I've been seriously burnt out (and I know you're all tired of hearing it. My apologies!) so it was a pleasant surprise to actually come up with something like this. Sometimes messing around with a new program or instrument is all you need! I hope you guys enjoyed this one!
2020-03-01 06:13:34 +0000 UTC View Post(2/3) Making a Funky Menacing Theme (Daemon Silvus)
One of my favorite song ideas I've made in awhile. I've been experimenting more with my growing knowledge in music theory, and this song (and scenario in my head) was the perfect excuse to try some stuff out! Definitely not the standard type of melody you'd hear from me. I hope to keep having time to practice and learn more!

A shop theme is not something I was expecting to try, but I'm glad I did. The first song was...something, but the second one is something I was genuinely happy with. I hope you all enjoyed it too!

A teaser for all patrons! I made an 8-bit retro-style song! Literally a few hours ago. Brain is seriously fried from work lmao. That being said, I'm surprised I was even able to make this. Very happy with it but hoo boy :') I hope you enjoy this sample! Full thing should be tonight
