With Xenoblade Chronicles 2 coming out yesterday (at the time this'll go up), I figured it'd be nice to do another Xenoblade track just for the occasion. However, as you probably figured out, I ALSO wanted to theme most of this month's tracks after Christmas or winter-related tracks after not doing so last year in favor of Halloween-related music, so against my better judgement I ended up doing the nighttime version of Valak Mountain's music, and good GOD was it disorganized until touching it up. If you're familiar with the last few times I've tried piano-heavy tracks (or even bell-heavy tracks in the case of Rosalina's Story), you might be aware that while I don't outright hate them they are pretty annoying to cover. This time, GXX commands were spammed liberally until it resembled something similar to a piano piece, and I didn't even touch the Sawtooth, noise, or DPCM pattern arrangement until I had the song done (the main source of messiness). However, after looking it over, I actually think it turned out pretty well.
As for the elephant in the room, you may have noticed I'm posting mirrors to other video uploading sites. That is because, unfortunately, as of yesterday, Vidme is getting ready to shut down on the 15th. This means that not only do I have to go back and update every video that has a Vidme mirror in it, but I can't upload there anymore. I'm a little salty over that because part of what I wanted to do this year was set up shop in Vidme and gear up to migrate completely in case of emergency (i.e. YouTube becoming FUBAR). Thankfully, I have other options, among them being Bitchute and NicoNicoDouga. Worth noting, while Bitchute, from what I've seen of it, PROBABLY won't be an issue (unless they go full on SHUT IT DOWN as well), I may or may not stay on NND.
The first problem is that they have a premium subscription fee I have to pay if I want to upload more than 50 videos. While 50 videos sounds like a lot (for reference, I uploaded 55 Famitracker Bits videos last year, while I'm probably in position to upload no more than 45 barring laziness), I also want to reupload my stuff from 2015 and 2016, meaning I might be screwed on that front. The OTHER problem is that I am still a filthy gaijin, and I'm concerned about my covers not being up to snuff compared to their output. For now, I'll upload a couple of videos here and there to see if I can't figure that site out, and I'll try to post a formal update on the 6th next month to let you know of my decision.
