The title of the original song(s)
DELTARUNE Chapter 2 - BIG SHOT

Is this a cover, tribute, or medley?

Cover

Description
This cover was done in the style of the Nintendo DS-era Pokémon games. I used FL Studio, transcribed the original song by ear, and then arranged it using various soundfonts.

I chose BIG SHOT since I feel like, of all the characters in DELTARUNE, Spamton's character really captures the desperation of trying to search for a new beginning after everything goes wrong in your life and there's nowhere else to turn. It's a sadder take on the theme but, I mean, hey, it gave me a good reason to cover BIG SHOT.

I really love how chaotic it ended up being, and it was a great chance to practice my transcription!

I think the intro and middle sections work best here with the instruments used, particularly the brass. Good job overall!

Nice cover! Don't know if the two consoles have the same audio system, but a lot of the sounds reminds me of what can make a SNES ^^

Sky Deepness - Shadow of the Colossus Cover

Thanks! The SNES was actually very similar to the GBA and DS in a lot of ways - though obviously by the time the DS came out about a decade and a half had passed so even a relatively cheap handheld could have a bit more audio fidelity and working memory. The DS actually had two CPUs - one of those is basically just the one CPU the GBA used except even faster, and usually dedicated entirely to playing music and SFX! But yeah to get back on topic, the way sound was stored and played back was very very similar, so really good observation!

Chaotic indeed. However, the 2 styles are, as one would say, "perfectly balanced, as all things should be".

Chaos, chaos! Thanks!!

Reminds me so much of the Veilstone Game Corner theme, which I love. I think the best part about your arrangement is how sonically dense it is, it perfectly captures the energy of the original!

Slumbering Weald Electronic Remix

Thank you so much! That song is seared into my brain from being an impressionable 5 year old, and I made sure to throw in the grind synth lead from it towards the end of the cover. I'm glad I could properly translate BIG SHOT to the style, too!

Nicely done! This translates so well to the tone of the DS Pokemon games.

Thanks so much! I haven't been using headphones and finally got a pair earlier in the week, so I was really happy to actually be able to do weird panning.
