Hey, I'm the author of xmodits, really cool to see my program out in the wild being used for stuff like this! In fact, the sole reason I created it was to remaster a track from Deus Ex (2000). So seeing it being used to achieve a similar goal definitely made me smile :) Fantastic remaster btw!

[@MarcRenton]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate guys like you, doing such specialized but great tools like yours. We live in such a great time where so many things we can do with our computers. Compare this to the towers we used to have under our desks back then :-D Cheers!

And with this fantastic gem, I subscribed in a heartbeat.

[@ChrisSmout]

Respectful work indeed, really opened up the track with more space and stereo effects while maintaining the original feel. UT '99 forever!

[@PaulFurber]

Very nice remix!

[@lunanescence]

great video as always.

[@chongleebnw]

Was looking for music to listen while doing some mapping and found this! Foregone is one of the best and great for space maps.

This is the only song I have playing in the menu’s of Fortnite today lol. I enjoyed seeing you organize the memory limited tracker stems neatly into a modern daw =D

[@d.c.1204]

Good job mr. Renton! Is there any chance you could send me your remaster/remix? Would love to have it on my laptop, possibly drop it in a dj mix :)

[@husnushepherd]

Thx, if you will continue videogame ost series, would you check out Need for Speed 2 soundtrack? I love the track "Romulus 3"

irgendwie geht der Subbass etwas unter und die Synth line, durch das panning. Aber kennste eigentlich Renoise? Das ist ein moderner Tracker der eigentlich auch das kann was Ableton kann!

[@MarcRenton]

Danke für dein Kommentar!
Aber: ~2005 spielte ich sehr oft das Original in meiner damaligen Karre mit Cadence Subwoofer, dessen Eigenresonanzfrequenz EXAKT der Foregone Destruction Bassline entsprach. Ich weiß nicht, wieviele Leute ich damals damit eine ordentliche Bassdusche verpasst habe. Genau wegen der Erfahrung habe ich den Sub unangetastet gelassen. Panning kommt von dem Original-Track. Ich überlege schwer hin und her, ob ich einen "richtigen" Remix angehe. Was meinst du?

[@TheCasparFry]

Did you use schismtracker for this?

[@MarcRenton]

Schismtracker looks great but I was using xmodits and openmpt

[@heh1914]

[@MarcRenton]
