Slunks - Loop Hero Medley/Cover (ft. Victor Jones)
Blinch released one of my favorite Halloween-synth/rock/metal soundtracks of the year with Loop Hero. Much like the game, the soundtrack dips into different genres and I knew I had to some something with it once I heard it. Blinch does an outstanding job stylizing the OST towards the game’s atmosphere. My goal was to take the main old-school Loop Hero sound, surround it by full instrumentation, and mix it with live guitar/drums for a fun time.
If you’ve never heard of Loop Hero, check it out here:
This was a huge multi-month project which I started way back in late March. 3 months later, here we are with a completed version. Huge thanks to the amazing Victor “Tbone“ Jones (and his stache) for his wonderful assistance on this one. We worked hard on it. So hard, that we have a full breakdown of the production timeline below for anyone wanting to nerd out on how much time/effort goes into making an almost solid 9 minutes of material.
We hope you enjoy!
March:
-OST surveyed, tracks picked, general flow/song selection edited together
April:
-Instrument/sound design has been mostly completed. Good mix of chiptune-ish “Loop Hero“ style lead and fuller surrounding synths
-Song selection and flow finalized
-Transcription (90% by ear) begins - had to use software to help with CosTemp/WheelFaith
-Guitar parts are decided; transcribed into notation/tablature and sent to Victor for practice (required hours of learning tab software)
May:
-Slunks - Overall song generally completed (audio); awaiting guitar recording
-Video production begins: Drums are completed during this time; keyboard Akai parts are 75% done
June:
-Guitar audio meet n’ record #1 (early June) and #2 (mid-June) are done. All guitar recordings captured. A few parts were cut due to time.
-Inserting the guitar audio, editing, and overall mixing/mastering
-Slunks’ video shooting is fully complete and all parts recorded and video editing begins (and completed; leaving gaps for Victor’s cut-ins)
-Victor’s video shooting complete and sent to me for further editing (on 6/30)
-Editing 100% complete, including several “polish“ runs on the video and audio to ensure things are synced up proper and such
-Uploaded to YouTube
