Here's another tune from the Ironsword soundtrack, the cloud theme (which is later reused in the Forest area and a few of the caves)! This tune is rather epic for an old obscure 8 bit soundtrack, featuring a prominent pedal tone bass ostinato, and several memorable melodies, just a classic song all around!
For my recording, since most people don't make it to the 2nd half of my songs, I decided to put the inappropriate drumming up front starting with a re-imagining of the the bass ostinato with a dense linear tom and kick groove. After the intro sections, I locked the kick drum in with the bass ostinato, and then doubled up on the kick drum Fear Factory style when the track loops around. The guitar parts are all double tracked per usual, run through a Fender Cybertwin mic'd up with an sm57. I added a third guitar part that locks in with the bass ostinato, and by using less distortion than the lead guitars, I think I got it pretty heavy sounding. Finally, I added some very modest doubling of the main melodies with vocals and a keyboard. The keyboard sounds are a mix of the built in string sound and a lead tone from the Surge XT plugin.
Hopefully you got a kick out of this cover! Unlike my last Ironsword cover, I tracked this one at the song tempo of the game, so the videogame tempo weirdos should enjoy that!
