Extended version -    • Mind in a PROGRAM (Light MetaS Remix ...  

I beat the True Arena today. Holy crap the last boss was damn awesome. And no joke.

This hit 24k and is thus, my most supported upload. Even the ratings and comments have been crazy supportive. I did NOT expect this, man. I can't thank you all enough, I'm really being spoiled.

I had also planned to do some of the other battle themes from Robobot in this video, but I ended up making an extended remix of Mind in a Program instead. It'll take me a while to figure out the rest of them too, they have quite the unusual structure! This remix was one of the most difficult, confusing, fun, and exhilarating adventures I’ve taken up. First of all, I broke it up into four different sections listed below.

-Introduction
-Main body
-16-bit Revamp of “main body”
-16-bit + “Kirby’s Adventure” Custom closure (References some tracks relevant in Robobot)

I had initially created the “main body” first. This was oddly the only part of the song that was finalized and ultimately created in Garageband using “Kontakt 5” instruments. This was also by far, the most difficult section of the song, because I had implemented a new technique in the creative process. This was a dumb idea. Many times when I design a track, I have the lead melody, bass melody, and a couple supporting melodies all layered on top of one another. In this scenario, I thought I could implement a “one size fits all supporting melody” throughout the entire body. Essentially, instead of creating more than one supporting melody, I’d just make a HUGE FILL THE WHOLE SCREEN WITH NOTES supporting melody, and assign a couple instruments to it, rather than making different supporting melodies for each instrument. This didn’t create an unprofessional sound (I don’t think so…?) it just made it WAY harder for it to sound good at all. I did reach a point when I was satisfied, but it was VERY unrewarding for this particular section of the song. I DO NOT recommend this method, it took way too long, and while it does make managing multiple supporting melodies simpler, it won’t matter in the long run because you’re gonna be editing the one that’s there so damn much that it’ll take even longer.

The introduction was also an odd process, I actually made this section twice! Two totally different melodies. I ended up making the piano too loud on the first version, and believe it or not, since I was using the FL Studio demo to make it…. I couldn’t save my project mid-work. So, I started over. Fortunately, the old one was actually much too shitty by comparison as a whole, so I’m glad it happened the way it did! I wanted also, to create some kind of instant dramatic startup that kind of grabs the viewer by the throat with the WAYAWA of Kirby, but… I might’ve scared people off.

- I had to cut the other two section descriptions because of a description word limit, but these went smoothly and I had a ton of fun with. Visual effects were very fun for me to make, but the illustration of Susie was done by Halgalaz.

Now let’s talk technical. I have never in my life had a project crash my damn computer as many times as this. The main body especially. There came a point when I couldn’t even WORK on certain parts of the main body because my WHOLE computer would slow down to an absolute crawl. When it normally takes me seven seconds at max to open up my options for an instrument, it would now take 3-10 minutes! And that’s EVERY DAMN TIME I want to edit an instrument! Even after I finally rendered it, nine times out of ten, HALF THE INSTRUMENTS WERE MISSING IN THE RENDERED FILE. So, I had to render ‘em separately and put ‘em together.

(Another deleted section talking about how things were fairly easy for the last sections of the song in the creative process)

Thank you all for reaching out to me, I’m really glad I had a chance to connect more on a personal level on my “Behind the Scenes Video.” I’ve been surprised that my channel has actually grown a decent bit ever since I put up that video. I thank you for your patience with me too, I wouldn’t be as comfortable working on large projects had it not been for that! If I go at my own pace, I only upload when I think I’ve reached a good point. I am so grateful I can share my projects and passions with you guys. God bless.
