Mega Man X3 - Blizzard Buffalo but it's in tune

Still SPC2IT but this took a bit more work- more than one sample was detuned, lessened or removed other pitch changes in the track. This track is probably the most obviously detuned one.

one of my favorite songs of X3,unironically...

[@cristiancamilocuta61]

....Fascinante, nostálgico e invaluable....

[@SonicDestroyer12]

Thank you for this. As nostalgic as the old version is, this one just sounds so much better and more coherent, it's amazing what a little change in tune can do for a piece.

I remember vividly, playing mega man X3 for the first time and thinking that this tune was very strange. I never thought it was out of tune all this time. Great video as always. Thank you!!!

[@ClexYoshi]

funnily enough, the slight dissonance in the original track makes the melody stand out a bit.

[@notaducc]

I know it’s in tune cause it no longer tickles my ears

[@mrNobody100]

the out of tune-ness apparently adds something to the vibe of the stage (aka i didn't even realize it was out of tune until this here thing, and it sounds off now, even though it's technically on... lolz.) but hey, still cool. i feel like x3 didnt have as many stand out tracks to me... this is one of the better ones in that game, i must say...

[@TheAntlionGuard]

Nice! The original always sounded weird but I could never figure out why

[@Firguy]

This song was out of tune this whole time and I never realized it?

[@cakeisamadeupdrug6134]

It's a shame the SNES version of the soundtack is so horribly out of tune, because cleaned up like this it actually sounds nice

[@DETahaX]

This song so underrated.

[@VeneoTheVGMMusician]

wait the original is out of tune?

[@metallicwarrior]

Very fitting for my cloudy and cold-ass day i had today

[@AndrixGamer]

Wow! I never knew this would sound so much better like this! Just nice to see something new from ya too

[@DjKlzonez]

Technically right, but wrong

[@N3Selina]

quite a difference. while i love the original detuned version, this one is a great addition! also props to you tuning this with SCP2IT. This thing exports well enough SCPs but it's not flawless.

[@delphoxlatias1821]

I thought this song was so cool sounding but it was ruined by the out of tune samples, this is awesome

[@subwaymanYT]

This sounds much better and more ambient

[@JLunaarS]

This is so cool that you'd do this.

[@M613M]

Well at least this is constructive. I feel like the latest trend is all of a sudden going OMG X3 GUITAR BAD WORST SOUNDTRACK! I think the X series fans are finally starting to lose their minds waiting for X9 that we're picking apart the good games too now 😅

[@DoctorNovakaine]

Maybe I was just early to the party. I absolutely loathed the SNES versions of MMX3's music from the start. The out-of-tuneness was a big reason why, the soundfont was another big reason (I'm not sure why they really needed to depart so far from X1's sound design, honestly). I'm not in love with the other version's music either but it's at least less offensive to my ears. That said, Blizzard Buffalo's was already among the best of a bad bunch, and the retuned version is actually relatively palatable. I'd stop short of saying I love it, but I'd be willing to say I like it.

[@M613M]

@@DoctorNovakaine Thats so interesting. I remember hearing it for the first time as a kid when I rented it when it had just come out. I loved Blizzard Buffalo and Gravity Beetle's themes the most (and still do). I was more focused on the dark and melodic feel of BB's theme and how much of a departure it was from the series usual heavier tracks. Also, I randomly always heard my dad listening to House of The Rising Sun and appreciated the organs in that song which once again as a kid I always found Blizzard Buffalo's theme reminded me of in some parts. Now that I'm sure I'm the minority if not totally alone in.

[@zanegandini5350]

My only real complaints with X3's music was that it was too short before looping, and it didn't help that the stages themselves were longer than the first two X games, or at least felt like they were. But instrument-wise, I dare say it was my favorite of the original trilogy. I overall still prefer the compositions from the original MMX, but I much prefer X3's music to X2's.

[@M613M]

@@zanegandini5350 Despite loving the majority of the soundtrack, I will say that I'd rather walk in glass then listen to Neon Tiger's theme for more then 2 consecutive minutes. Yeah I feel like X1 is hair metal, X3 is heavy metal, and X2 is kinda slow alternative. Its alright but it seems out of place.

[@zanegandini5350]

@@M613M It doesn't help that X2 has really low quality samples, otherwise I might have appreciated it more. And yeah, Neon Tiger's theme is extremely repetitive.
