Random This Indie Composer Faithfully Recreated A Sonic Song From Scratch
Sounds spot-on!
I recently stumbled upon a YouTuber and musician by the name of Nuclear [NUKELEDGE], who creates videos related to video game music, composition, and audio production. One of Nuclear's recent uploads goes over replicating the guitar part from the Sonic Adventure 2 song "Advertise: SA2 ...in the groove" (the story select track) from scratch. I was blown away by the accuracy and technical process of this recreation, from the ability to make a MIDI electric guitar sound real, to the subtle effects of fret mutes and vox chords. This was all made within the audio production software FL Studio. Check out the process in the video below.
