EarthBound - Pokey Means Business [Restored]

Pokey Means Business from EarthBound, restored to uncompressed glory, using the original samples the game used.
STOP ASKING ABOUT THE FUCKING GUITAR SAMPLE I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM

[@willshipman4569]

Litterly the coolest sounding guitar I've ever hurd hands down

[@captaincommando9839]

i would agree with you if i hadnt heard the megaman x guitar

Probably because megalovania

[@willshipman4569]

@@nutty_rickrolled_mikey no just in general I already knew Megalovanias guitar was a edited version of its guitar sample but I think the og just sounds so much cooler

[@lunastifaliamusic]

@@willshipman4569 It genuinely does. Probably why the original version's guitar sounds better than the 2015 version. It used the actual sound, not an edited version

You really feel like Ness and co listening to this without fuzz Reminds me of how I used psi shield-O like an idiot and how I stocked up on bottle rockets for giygas unaware he's immune to it + a whole lot of other mistakes I made (even though I beat it on my first go)

This is good work, but it certainly sounds like the in-game version was the intended outcome. You might want to add the stero effects back in too

[@sparkeee3]

Nice

[@dejiko]

I prefer the crunchyness of the compressed version on this track, to be honest.

[@dorememe8548]

I love listening to this, but in this case, I might agree with you. Some tracks in some games really do sound better uncompressed. But I'm not sure.

[@Fieldess]

I'll be the odd person here and say that this sounds much better compressed. Earthbound's music was made with the compression in mind, so to hear it like this actually sounds worse.

[@FanofGuardianTales]

The first time I listened to this, I too preferred the compressed version. I listened to this more times and I think that both are good in their own ways.

[@alicevitoriano]

you can make the uncompressed sound closer to the original while keeping clarity, but it takes some work

[@SonicMaster519]

I agree, though I will say this is still pretty cool, especially when you hear this restored version first time around. The guitars sound a lot cooler!

[@TeamGalactic-Cyrus]

I love the guitars here, and with headphones this one is just yes

[@YuuyaKZMI]

I think the reason it sounds so off is because the samples were brought in first and then they did with what they were given afterwards. I don't know if that's what happened, but that's the only way I can understand the compressed version being better. Both sound good in their own way though in my opinion.
