Which NES soundtrack do you find very relaxing?
-
There's something profoundly relaxing and sound-bathic about it, spesh with a low pass filter or filtering out all the treble.
The House song from Mother 1 is amazing and so is the rest of the album in this light
Try it; I double-dare you

The title track from Shadowgate is awesome.
If you're into nixing the treble, Super Glove Ball's whole soundtrack goes bass only when you pause the game.
SNES recommendation: Super R type has a killer soundtrack.

I'm guessing that this is paused.

This is so cheeky. He starts off with the most generic NES music imaginable then proceeds to simply obliterate its soundchip.
Spot on.

Composer put out straight fire on this one

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I'll do a MIDI render for the heck of it as well to illustrate for anyone else who might have an interest in doing MIDI renders of NES audio tracks.
:::spoiler MIDI render walkthrough
Starting from the
eb0_mother_livehousesong.midMIDI-sequenced version here:https://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/
Use MIDI soundfont Musyng Kite (a more-realistic, not-very-synthy soundfont; there will be ones that'll be closer to the NES, but this will have the non-synth instruments sound more-realistic) converted to .sf2.
Use TiMidity++ to render to a WAVE file (could just play it directly, too, but I want to upload it):
$ timidity --volume-compensation --anti-alias -in -D10 -S20M -OsS -c ~/.timidity/timidity.cfg -EFresamp=L -EFreverb -EFvlpf -EFchorus=s -EFdelay -EFns -Ow -o eb0_mother_livehousesong.wav $ cat ~/.timidity/timidity.cfg soundfont "/home/tal/m/sw/sf2/Musyng_Kite.sf2" $Convert to Opus-encoded WebM, as Lemmy will accept inline WebM:
$ ffmpeg -i eb0_mother_livehousesong.wav -vcodec vnull -acodec libopus eb0_mother_livehousesong.webmAnd then uploading to catbox.moe.
Referencing the video in a spoiler tag, because I don't know of an audio-only format that Lemmy is okay with, and the Lemmy Web UI tries making a large video player for WebM:

wrote on last edited by [email protected]This might be a weird, obscure game, I think, but I LOVE the Act 1 Part 1 song from Totally Rad and Act 1 Part 2 is my second favorite NES tune. The whole OST is just fire.
https://youtu.be/vLbR-vm-Ry8 - Part 1
https://youtu.be/l-IZG44nfvk - Part 2
The game started as a sort of jrpg sidescroller, but it got... butchered from "Americanizing". Still gnarly, though (heh).
Also, honorable mention, all the music from The Guardian Legend. All of it. I love that game so much.
The Guardian Legend OST - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEOQ0YA_1DWlqKUJkOJaJL0YB2brVTCFd
One of the best songs - https://youtu.be/W2q0aIql0Qw
Oh shit, and this one (sorry, I'm like a kid in a candy shop trying to pick my favorite when it comes to NES) - https://youtu.be/o_VzSKgTye0

Gonma be honest, I love the Pictionary theme
Lmao wth. Was not expecting a bump from Pictionary. This is so good.

Nice! Wandering and Awakening in particular

Oh hell yeah. I'll take Solstice any day. What a legendary game. One of the best platform-puzzle titles for it's time. You just can't understand it until you play it.
I never had the manual, so it was confusing as hell for a while. Most stories for NES games came from the manual. NES manuals were half guides, half prologue novels.
You play this song and I will instantly know where its from - https://youtu.be/N3YrrUtQ7-g

SNESdrunk
Given that we're talking about "relaxing music", my first hit on Kagi for "SNESdrunk ost" is this and it looks apropos:
https://archive.org/details/3-hours-of-relaxing-super-nintendo-music-snesdrunk
Is that it? If it is, I suspect that from the sound quality on the first song, what they're doing is taking someone's MIDI file representing the SNES soundtrack and then rendering it using a newer soundfont.
I don't much like music rendered with FM synthesis myself, the way the original NES sound hardware worked --- not a chiptunes fan --- but I do keep around some old game MIDI files and listen to them with synthesis using newer soundfonts.
I skimmed through the long compilation videos cause there are a few.
I'm pretty sure it was a game list video or a one of his normal videos... I feel like I remember him raving about the music and saying something like "Just listen to this", and then an entirely too sick metal-ish riff goes off.
It could very well be a false memory though lol

Love that tune. So calming.
