Cover

Description
This was my very first game jam, and I am glad to have participated. For both covers, I first tried to find the most accurate instrument that fit both the original song and the style I was going for. I limited myself to mostly one VST for each song in order to more proficient in them. For Beginning, I primarily used BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover; for By Your Side, I primarily used Vital. Once I found an instrument I liked, I would listen carefully to the original song to try to recreate the same notes in my DAW. Sometimes I had to turn to publicly available arrangements to identify specific notes, but for the most part i was able to find everything without external help. The DAW I used for this project was Reaper, because I finally decided to shill out the $60 for the full license. I've only been composing for six months, so it was very helpful to have a reason analyze the music of experience composers, as it has allowed me to note techniques used throughout their music. I would say my favorite part was trying to find songs that fit with the theme of the jam, as this allowed me to revisit many soundtracks from games I played as a kid. Just a bit of a nostalgia blast.

This makes me smile, it's really lovely. I'm super impressed by how something this brief can make me feel so full. I don't know, it makes me happy.
I haven't played both of these games and yet the way this sounds speaks a lot to me (well, I played undertale so I recognized that motif, but still)

At least in me, you achived what I think it's the most important thing in music, keep going :D

The moment were the voicing of the piano in By Your Side changed halfway through the song felt very satisfying. Great job!
