The youtube algorithm goated when it comes to blessing me with the greatest self-published indie electronic albums you've never heard of it. Beautiful.
Here because someone mentioned your channel and this project in a comment under newest ThorHighHeels video about Electroplantkon :) I love the idea behind this!
bro hit us wit the bread swings intro to talk his shit i like that excellent work dear sir may the internet provide an abundance of rewards in your favor
This appeared in my recommended so the youtube algorithm is doing a fine job. Also someone left a comment about this album on the new Thorhighheels' Electroplankton video. This is really impressive! I thought youd use the Microkorg apps/game but this feels more limiting and creative. Good job on all this! Very impressive!
The 3DS is just so versatile, and there's so much software variety other than games in both its own library and the DS and DSi ones. Hope this gets more views
You'd be surprised how well this is doing actually. I can see the actual total view count through video analytics, and according to that we're actually at 450 views, getting roughly 15 to 40 per hour throughout the day, and it is still actually hitting those numbers. It just got 30 more between 11pm and 12pm tonight, and it seems to be doing even better than that as I write this out. For context that is, by a huge amount, the best performance I've gotten out of a video on this channel period. Compared to The Wolf spider videos, which are my previous best videos since they're kind of decent shit posts, and have banger thumbnails, in two days, the album has amassed the same amount of views that those only managed to get after more than 45 days. It's actually pretty crazy how well it's doing. All I can hope is for it to continue to do well and hopefully in time it'll actually surpass those shit posts. I also do hope to get some feedback from people, stuff like what track was their favorite is nice, but stuff like which track they think could benefit best from remastering/reworking is the kind of feedback that I could work off to make better music from. I do want to make my next 3DS album even more special but I'll leave talking about that to the fallow up video I'm gonna be making. Anyways thanks for the comment, it'll definitely help the algorithm.
Alright I'd say your comment worked wonders lol, after posting my first reply, within 10 hours the view count quadrupled, and now it's doing over 200 views an hour, which is nuts for a channel like mine.
And this is why I still have my original 3DS since 2014. The memories and programs (albeit some old) was worth keeping this whole time and more, despite some button replacements overtime and the circle pad melting on my finger decade later
Super neat stuff seeing the improvenment difference between Father and Tear. I'll be back to listen to the rest through properly when I've got the chance for a binge!
Your compositional skills are awesome! You ever thought about putting you music on someplace like bandcamp or soundcloud, or something? Next challenge: songs produced on the music editor of the gameboy camera, on the original gameboy.
I will end up putting it up on Bandcamp most likely. I never really considered it tbh, but seeing how much of a reaction it's gotten, I think I'm gonna have to do something.
Yep, 100%. Also your comment is the closest comment so far to the phrase "Sounds like video game music", which is what I get IRL from people literally every single time that I share my music. It actually happens so often I just laugh, I can watch the thought form in people's heads I swear. Anyways that's great, it also fallows the trend of the game they then compare it with always being a video game I haven't played, and only vaguely have heard of. If I was to go through and pick one game ost that inspired me the most, it's Mario Kart 7's ost, without question. That was one of the first game's I played to completion, fully 100%-ing it, and the music is forever stuck with me as a result. Pair that with my orchestra background, as well as a ton of other games and bands that I love, and you can definitely see the resemblance in many tracks. Another game that comes to mind is Ace Combat 6 on the Xbox 360, Minecraft of course, and then a hand full of additional 3DS games, including the Mii games as well as a bunch of really niche 3DS E-Shop specials that just happen to have stellar music, Pop island's ost probably tops that list.
Brilliantly done. Would you consider putting a download up somewhere for the full album? Additionally, are you alright with people using the music in YT videos?
Yeah I'm considering making a band camp, and as for using it on RUclips I'm alright with it, I just want nice clear credit and for people to of course ask me first.
Dude this is sick! Do you have a license on these for use in projects if credit is provided? I do some indie game development and some of these tracks would go extremely hard
This is where my knowledge and understanding when it comes to producing music runs out, like this is the exact kind of thing I'd totally love to do with this music, but I don't even know where to start.
I don't really know where would be best, but I will say, if you can find one that's broken, they're not actually that hard to pull apart and simply replace parts on and fix. So long as there's no top screen or camera problems, it's actually super easy to replace buttons or the lower screen. There are of course more serious issues you'd want to avoid, like water damage stuff, but for the most part even if a bottom screen's dead, it's not that daunting to carefully unplug the ribbon cables and just swap it out.
lmao. i played around this app for like 2 hours before determining it has the worst interface i've ever seen, the sound selection is trash, and trying to do anything with it would be an immense waste of time and energy
Ha, that's such a wildly different take from what I would say about it. First off I'm okay with a lot of the samples, but I 100% agree there are definitely unusable ones, though that being said I do actually like quite a few lead samples, all the key samples, and many clean samples. I thought they kind of had this charm to them that almost feels nostalgic, especially when you filter out the high end distortion that makes them so harsh. Then regarding the interface, idk, I love it, once you learn all the buttons and how to move through it with the key binds, I found it seriously grows on you. I also really like how there's just no load time for anything, it just instantly does stuff, and this makes it feel oddly game like to go through and make music with it, at least to me. Although it is super simple, I think the limitations just kept me focused, idk. I found creative ways around many limitations, had fun, and just didn't take it super seriously. Then later on, with Ableton, I was able to polish these up a lot and make this. It's far from perfect, but in the end, who cares you know? Definitely learned a lot from using it, that's for sure.
Yeah it's rough, if you go and play this through studio monitors you'll hear all the mixing issues in the earlier tracks, and there's also just problems with the samples themselves, some clip when they retrigger and it's just baked into those samples. There's also a high end distortion issue that seems to be a more fundamental problem with it being a DSI Ware port. The album also starts out with tracks that are back from before I really knew much of anything regarding composition, as well as audio processing. A lot of those tracks just don't use the samples very well and they are a mess as a result, but I included them to show my progress. By the end of the album I was also running into pretty much every limitation of the software at that point, so a lot of stuff in those tracks is still very rough too. Ultimately it is what it is, these tracks could be refined a lot more if the software could export stems, or if it had audio processing tools like compressors, filters, EQ, or even just a frequency spectrum built in, but it was still a fun introduction to making music, and I think it was still worth sharing as a result.
Bro woke up one day and decided to make an absolutely banging double album on a 3DS. i commend you soldier

That's awesome.
"Bread Swings" has no right going as hard as it does
bro hit us wit the bread swings intro to talk his shit
i like that
excellent work dear sir

i love seeing projects like this. i love the 3ds and i love music.
thanks for this beautiful project.
it seems like this is blowing up already, happy for ya 😊
dropping a comment to try and trick the algorithm.
seriously this deserves more views.

the algorithm has blessed me once again, this is somehow only at 2.6k views
this slaps, great job!!
It’s an ambitious and impressive effort that bears out. Sounds like some of the best tunes on the SNES.
Nice work! I think the 3DS has a KORG synthesizer on it, and the PSP has a pretty cool DAW
3ds makes me nostalgic
wait I have one I can play it right now
New3 is banger
Your dedication to this is inspiring and I really hope that traction picks up on this. Absolutely stellar stuff!!
This is unbelievably cool
And this is why I still have my original 3DS since 2014. The memories and programs (albeit some old) was worth keeping this whole time and more, despite some button replacements overtime and the circle pad melting on my finger decade later
this is incredible, dropping comment for algo boost
Banger video, banger album, by a banger guy. You're incredible Max.
Super neat stuff seeing the improvenment difference between Father and Tear.
I'll be back to listen to the rest through properly when I've got the chance for a binge!
Tear is phenomenal, thanks for sharing this project
For real, its really nice Continue this man
Got give you props to you for this tremendous creativity
Sick as hell
This is awesome James!! Keep up the great work!
Okay but who's James?
Incredible
seriously trying to make music with it is downright silly...
and I...
I am very silly...
inspiring, nicely done 👏✨
so so cool
Banger stuff
Crazy
Nintendo, you know what to do...
Hire this man!
Algorithmed !
neat project
oh god
3ds awesome
Dope
I remember I used this software for a random university art project once. However, I'm no musician, so I didn't really label my work as such lol
Absolute banger of an album! Please please upload it on Bandcamp or something!
the first song i can actually picture in an animal crossing and KK covering it
bread swings
You are incredible and magnificent
i miss streetpass and miiverse...
Your compositional skills are awesome! You ever thought about putting you music on someplace like bandcamp or soundcloud, or something?

I will end up putting it up on Bandcamp most likely. I never really considered it tbh, but seeing how much of a reaction it's gotten, I think I'm gonna have to do something.
Probably just the soundfonts more than anything compositional, but I'm getting hints of Advance Wars and occasionally StarCraft.

that rocks, check out fluid on the ps1
Nice
This is seriously so cool. I love it. Is there somewhere people are able to download this?
Brilliantly done.
Would you consider putting a download up somewhere for the full album?

YOOOO
gosh, I remember seeing this reviewed on DSi e-Shop iirc lol. This makes it essentially a tracker, right?
you really should rename this to 'Nothing but a DS' since a ds is less powerful and this is a ds application and not a 3DS one
I acknowledge that in the intro, ultimately it was made on my 3DS and that is why the title is the way it is.
Any recommendation on where to get a new 3ds nowadays that won't break the bank?
I don't really know where would be best, but I will say, if you can find one that's broken, they're not actually that hard to pull apart and simply replace parts on and fix. So long as there's no top screen or camera problems, it's actually super easy to replace buttons or the lower screen.

There are two korg softwares for the 3ds you could have used with much better sound quality
Yeah I know they exist but I don't have them.

Go ahead, retire, you deserve it
This is pretty rough.

incredibly impressive work and so creative. keep it up!
