Semi-Live Transcription Time with 8-bit Music Theory!
After my failed livestream yesterday I just recorded myself transcribing a tune from Super Metroid and thought some of you might enjoy it. I'm currently in the process of thinking up new types of videos to put out that take less effort/time to make so that I can release some kind of content more frequently, and this is the first of these experiments, so please let me know if this was something you'd like to see more of or how I could make it better! Also know that I will only ever charge for the mainline analysis videos, and never for any of this extra stuff.
Anyways, enjoy!

Hey, if you're ever transcribing NES music, there is a program which can read NES music files and display the notes on a virtual keyboard, so you'd never have to worry about accuracy!
Very interesting process! I always thought you got the MIDI file from VGmusic.com and cleaned them up ;) SInce I don't have your experience and education, my way of transcribing game music was always saving the individual voices to separate WAV files so they don't overlap and have a given measure (or even note) loop in the background while placing notes on the staff until it overlapped with the source. Rinse and repeat ;)
I really enjoyed watching it as well! Even if you just record yourself transcribing and talking to yourself, it's really interesting to see you work and understand what you're thinking! Thanks for making such awesome content as always!
I love this type of video and think it's an Awesome idea, and very helpful!
This is nifty content, but if it counts as an analysis video, it would somewhat devalue the high-quality content you've been putting out and the per-unit cost for this. There's another VGM YouTuber that has a lot of low-effort content and I wouldn't want to support him because those videos are such filler. IMO, for supported content, it's better to be fewer and higher-quality. For non-supported content, this is still fun, but no substitute.
Definitely, and like I said I'll never charge for any "extra" videos like this. I also was thinking about starting a side channel for all of this kind of stuff while keeping the main channel for just my main analysis videos, but I'm not sure about that yet
