I wonder if I can convince my friends to play this.

[@luisferrusco5539]

I bet thats fault of the editor.

[@natekite7532]

The solos were recorded individually; nobody's playing in the studio at that moment. iirc originally they were going to swap out which instruments soloed every time you repeated the fight but it got scrapped. That's also why there are different solos on the in-game version and OST versions of the track

[@AlbertJoeElectronicKid]

This game should get an award just for the finishing and releasing, itself.

iNecroGaming IF

[@TOKAGERO1]

Some things are down voted because people don't like them, but not because they want to be asses about it, its because that way youtube doesn't recommend you similar content. For example when I'm watching a show and stumble across a video of said show, I give him a thumbs down so youtube doesn't recommend me a video that spoils shit with the name ''YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER JUST DIED!!!! Last scene from the show that you are watching!''

Keep at it, and someday, you'll get it and you won't Sound like a dying cat anymore. 2) Learn the note names. I never did, and wow, did it come back to bite me in the ass later For trumpets specifically 3) PRACTICE THAT INTONATION. With ever group of trumpets I played with, hardly any of them had good intonation, and when you put that all together with the other off tune trumpets, it's sounds like hot garbage.

[@pauloeu5]

PLEASE, MDHR, we NEED more "live recording cuphead ost" videos! Please! I want to see this big band in action!

[@IceSlushi]

I really enjoy these production promo's that blend into the game. The music (especially Botanic Panic), gameplay and pure effort put into Cuphead demonstrates why its a Master Piece. Also finding out that MDHR is Canadian also brings me great pride that this indie studio is willing to go above and beyond expectation to produce quality that will be spoken about for decades. I work in advertising and it would be a dream job to be able to assist this studio with their future projects so the world can experience the quality for themselves. I also appreciate the cost of the game for the quality you receive, I sincerely look forward to future projects your studio has to offer in the future.

[@erikaguzman567]

i love big brass band music, and Cuphead definitely delivered!

[@berniethecat8839]

I love this music! I'm glad that you guys decided to go old fashioned when doing the music cause that shows that you guys really care about keeping the game close to a 1930s cartoon style and that includes using old fashioned music and old fashioned music techniques like back In the olden days. This just goes to show that there are people out there who care for nostalgia and the olden days.

[@thatonedude5526]

The drummer and bass players are absolutely killing it and I love it❤❤

[@nessacabl2454]

WTF, I tough all the music was made digitally, this is awesome

[@lifelesshawk5725]

Ness Labakstor it's thought and also rarely does a game studio make sounds digitally it takes way to long for a little payout

[@jadeliu1462]

no way sound quality like this is digital. really hard to capture the feel of real instruments playing jazz digitally.

[@NicolasdeFerran]

SampleModeling libraries with a breath controler do an incredible job for brass instruments... But nothing like the real thing of course ;)

[@hirokokueh3541]

some well played synth can make great brass tutti since 1970s (check out EWF and Stevie Wonder), but making a barely acceptable brass solo is impossible nowadays, except making a poorly played brass (such as Meatball Parade by Kevin MacLeod)

[@JahnDavis2734]

As a jazz trombonist as well as a composer and remixer, digital music production is great for certain things. But there's a level of humanity and just style and swing that you don't get with digital music that you only get from live playing. This whole soundtrack is such a love letter to big band jazz, and I love it so damn much. The live music is what takes this game to a whole new level. Another great OST is the soundtrack to Mario Kart 8, because that's got live musicians as well. There's just something inherently magical and smooth about live jazz being played.

[@juliogonzalez4519]

So sad this game can't be on Nintendo Switch I pre ordered on Steam

[@chezchezchezchez]

Why PRE ordered? Can they sell out?

[@klbssm]

Why not?

[@magicemperor2420]

Mario Santa Maria Some people have a serious aversion to preordering. I was called a tool for preordering Cuphead on Steam. *shrug*

[@b3at2]

Julio why do you need it on a switch? Portability? True

[@b3at2]

MagicEmperor i bet you feel like a hero.

[@Grapeplayz123]

you guys need a raise!! your game and music is incredible!!!

[@Taverens_Pull]

Thanks to cuphead we're now going to start seeing cosplayers swing dancing at conventions

[@PiousWulf]

[@jakesu8264]

They have recorded what is now one of my all time favorite boss music in this beautiful game!

0:54 Never in any of my playthroughs have I thought to parry the laser.

[@codemonkeys3914]

First game I've pre-ordered in years. And it's digital too! But I want this the second I can play it.

[@lifelesshawk5725]

Code Monkeys did you get it on steam because if not I hope there is a good refund policy not for this game but in general because you can't be too safe

[@codemonkeys3914]

Nah, it was Xbox. But it's fine, like I said, first pre-order in years. I generally don't, for common reasons.

[@whatlad1125]

2016-2017 have been probably the best years for video game soundtracks! The tf2 soundtrack was finally fully released and that was stunning, Overwatches soundtrack was really experimental and tried really cool mixtures like a symphonic orchestra and an electronica musician, then cuphead comes along with a stunning hand drawn animation and a full big-band jazz orchestra and these 3 games are my absolute favorite and they for me personally have the greatest soundtracks in gaming!

[@Woomling]

That transition from playing to after the editing is exactly why I love music

[@Usulcardo]

Three days left !!!

[@QuarterLizzy]

It’s nice to see that a game has given so much time, to give it a amazing feeling while going trough the game, the music is just amazing and really goes into the gameplay making it so amazing to listen to, the characters are just amazing, also they have got a lot of they attention, because the characters are well animated and also goes into to game, giving you that feeling that makes the whole game complete, the lvls are a bit harder at some points but you’ll always have a great time while going trough the game even while you keep failing, and the assets, just perfect, makes the game completely worth the money, 9.8 / 10

[@charliepearce1886]

As a jazz music and video game lover this just combined both of my favorite things this was one of my favorite games of the year it was released and I still come back to the soundtrack it’s so goddamn good

[@chocolatematter]
