Boost Mix Step by Step Demonstration / SMB1 Overworld (Running Around)
6I want to make a video showing this done in realtime but for now let me demonstrate step by step the sort of things I am doing when "mastering" retro game music, so you can hear the differences directly. I am using SMB1 here as something anyone would recognize but it isn't the easiest example to work with because of the wild waveforms the NES hardware produces.
00:00 No effects applied starting point
0:10 Slight EQ cut/boost
0:25 Clip transients to boost loudness later
0:40 Multi-band compression mild bass boost/treble cut
0:55 Subharmonic bass for weak earbuds
1:10 Mid-low range bass boost
1:25 Mastering plugin all-in-one glue
1:40 Very short reverb and tail management
1:55 Fancy tape saturation plugin
2:10 Loudness maximizer
2:25 Back to vanilla to compare
2:40 Back to full boost mix
