HOMESTUCK: Rex Duodecim Angelus - 16 Bit Cover

[@malmedian8706]

I love how equius blends in with the background, really gives heir of void feels.

[@literallyn01imp0rtant]

I think it would've been clever if you used strictly SNES soundfonts for the themes of the Red Team members and strictly Genesis soundfonts for the themes of the Blue Team members. To parallel the two opposing teams to be Nintendo and SEGA. Nevertheless, great cover. Glad I subbed. :-)

[@Baleish]

Ooh that's actually a good idea, it's a shame i couldn't think of that. I might do something like that i another video if I can remember.

[@literallyn01imp0rtant]

Awesome.

I would kind of like to hear a heir of grief 16 bit cover.

[@theclowntoon]

Idk much about homestuck but this is catchy i gotta admit.

[@pikachupr0648]

I think you would like Homestuck! I noticed your Steven Universe profile pic; would it pique your interest if I mentioned how Homeworld Gem Society is based on Homestuck Troll Society? (Ruled by a female or females born for the role, different types of creatures with specific purposes chosen for them at birth, anyone with a deformity/mutation killed on sight without question, funny names for normal earth things, etc.)

[@Spaghettitron]

i can be your angle or your devil

[@sw3aterCS_]

Well, if you want to be my angle, you're going to need to figure out the measure of arc AXB first.

[@shchmntks]

You sure are a-cute angle ;)

[@xx_phedora_lvuer_xx2498]

Baleish is like Santa Claus. He is never seen. He's too good to be true. He gives you great gifts.

[@Baleish]

And I only seem to come around once a year with this upload rate...

[@xx_phedora_lvuer_xx2498]

Oh my god. Are you, are you, *SANTA CLAUS?* If so you still owe me the "Kill your best friend combusting potato" I asked for when I was 6.

[@Baleish]

shit dog, i thought you forgot about that

[@Sleepy-yp4wx]

Gun. Now. Who am I gonna shoot in this replies section? It's up to you to find out!

[@Recoherent]

do you even sleep

[@Recoherent]

ok i guess i don't, and apparently neither do at least 4 other people. but that's beside the point. how do you music so fast. it's wizardry.

[@Baleish]

What's sleep again?

[@Baleish]

I kinda had this track semi-completed, then once i realised I was heading close to 612 subs, i tried to finish as fast as possible without trying to rush it.

[@Recoherent]

Baleish makes sense.

[@kaimcconnell2137]

Aiden Morse not really... or i would be visted by horrir terrors.

[@floof5359]

replacing some of the harsher synths in karkats part with trumpets? BRILLIANT

[@meowdderall]

Ok gamzee's part was fucking awesome.

[@stardust-reverie]

i think i heard the shopkeeper from crypt of the necrodancer during karkat's bit. that was pretty cool.

[@emilym.1109]

My immediate thought as well.

[@channelremoved32]

i'm pretty sure that bit was from dancing mad

[@송나리-l1m]

fucking amazing *thats all there really is to say on the matter

[@sophiesteak]

Fuck yes! Finally! Masterfully done. Baleish, you're a gift.

[@wayverleesoulsong]

I’m so sad this wasn’t used in the actual comic, luckily there’s an amazing artist who made a flash with it :3

[@grantcarlson8387]

I'm pretty sure Hussie decided to make that animation canon. Not sure though.

[@nilkanan7565]

Correction: Amazing artistS.

[@bradleyhinton9104]

Dude This is awesome

[@omeg5473]

one of my favorite pieces of homestuck music, i love it

[@somefeatures]

i hear that FFVI Tenor great work as always

[@Baleish]

that tenor will be a part of history

[@somefeatures]

forever immortalized here, in oppa toby style, and probably some undertale song

[@Baleish]

Yep, pretty much.

[@starlightcalliope6792]

It's the FFVI soundfont that has the Tenor patch, right? Not FFIV, atleast if I'm recalling correctly.

[@somefeatures]

oh yeah, my mistake

[@starlightcalliope6792]

God damn. Again, as always, this is really fricking well done, Baleish! The instrumentation choices really help out to compliment the song itself, and definitely makes some of the best use of 16-Bit Soundfonts/Samples I've heard. The mixing is top notch as well. Overall, you did a really dang good job! :D

[@Baleish]

Unfortunately this took 4 months to realise this comment existed, lol, but hella' thanks and such. Your compliment is heavily appreciated, my dude.

[@canine8284]

ive not been a homestuck ever but man man do i love the music

[@solios3848]

My Bass Clarinet and my ears skeeted at the same time.

[@Angel_Kittichik]

That was beautifully done, and I have to say Gamzee's part was my personal favorite.

[@saturnz13]

THERE!! IT'S THE GOOD SHIT.

[@warxtron]

Oh my god! This thing is h*cking awesome! Great work as usual Baleish :)

[@warxtron]

Also i like how you replaced Irina Brochin with Tenor Choir xd

[@somefeatures]

I'm assuming Irina Brochin is a soundfont/VST used in RDA...?

[@warxtron]

Yes, it's actually used in many songs of Malcom Brown actually.

[@somefeatures]

Interesting. He seems to stick to a lot of the same samples

[@warxtron]

Yes, he recommended some things he usually uses here: dragonxvi.tumblr.com/post/36677592139/what-programsound-library-do-you-compose-with-i

You should try to do The Blind Prophet or KILLED BY BR8K SPIDER!!!!!!!! I wonder how good they would sound in 8-bit or 16-bit

[@somefeatures]

The Blind Prophet already uses the Mega Man X2 soundfont, making it somewhat 16-bit to begin with. However it would still be interesting to see it taken in a different direction and BR8K Spider would be great too

[@ft-rj]

did i hear a fucking earthbound drill as a reverse cymbal

[@Baleish]

its meant to be kanaya's chainsaw, cuzzah

[@ft-rj]

holy shit

[@volnartheunforgiving3952]

I liked how you used Giygas noises for the king's voice, and how you used that weird opera singer instrument in the Karkat's theme section, just like Toby did in Oppa Toby Style, the instrument choices here were overall quite good

[@nepnepsilly]

Sounds like a MOTHER 3 bossfight. I love this.
