DAR - RISEN [FULL ALBUM]
https://davester2296.bandcamp.com/album/risen
TRACKLIST / TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 Leaving Shore
3:39 Man Against The Machine
6:28 A Storm At Sea
8:56 Joyride
12:43 Winter Reminisce
16:23 Sky
22:16 Retrospect
At last, the RISEN remake is complete! I remember back in 2014, I had written and recorded the whole thing in only two weeks. This time around however, I've given it a lot more tender love and care. Took a little bit to get this all re-recorded and up to my modern standards here. Well worth it I say!
Also, as a headsup, the tracks in here are slightly different from the individual ones that I've previously released here on the channel (aside from Retrospect). I mainly tweaked the bass guitar mix and made small adjustments to the lead guitar mix. There's always that last-minute/final-FINAL mix check before stuff gets sent out for distribution!
Its really wild going and listening to where I was back in November of 2014, when I first released the original, and comparing it to this release here in November of 2023!
I remember being so excited back then, after recently creating the "Solitude Of Mind" EP. As soon as that was done, I immediately went straight to cranking out what would become the RISEN album. I've always kinda considered the two of them to be one whole part, since they were completed so close to one another.
Of course, they're different thematically, but SoM and RISEN both really captured my old "classic" style/era of songwriting. New Genesis also being part of that "classic" era as well, then HORIZONS and the RED PLANET saga leading into what I consider my newer/modern style. I also consider SoM, RISEN, and NG to be the classic era because I did those three before I even launched the covers channel! I wound up learning and picking up a lot of things once I started doing allll those covers.
On the topic of themes and story, SoM and New Genesis had an apocalyptic and dystopian sort of story going on, whereas RISEN's is sweet and simple.
If I remember correctly, I never really intended for there to be this loose story going on for RISEN. I just kind of did all the songs and put them in the order that I liked. It was only afterward that I realized it told a little story. A nice little story of a journey through life.
Anyhow, I hope you all enjoyed this remake of a "classic" DAR album! I also hope you all look forward to the "New Genesis" album remake up next! ~DAR

DOOM
doom-plutonia-midi-pack-death's-toll
This one really makes me think of some kind of old-school RPG.
Since I did "Jade Empire" earlier in the marathon (and really enjoyed doing the whole retro/synthwave thing), I've been really looking forward to covering another stewboy track!
I kept the song structure the same, but I did wind up adding another synth part and a new string-section bit all in the 2nd half (when everything finally hits, and gets all pretty-sounding).
This was a nice and relaxing one to put together. Also, as a heads-up, we'll be jumping to MAP22 up next. Was doing some thinking and had decided to save MAP21 for towards the end of the marathon.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR

So, here we are, you guys. Today is a joyous, yet somewhat sad kind of day, bittersweet I guess you could say. The end of my third DOOM Marathon. Let us all take a fond look back at the "journey" up to this point, from the announcement to this cover =).
This one is definitely one of my absolute favorites in the soundtrack! After beating map01 and upon entering the intermission screen, I was just in awe right from the first beat of the song. I absolutely knew I needed to save this one for the grand finale.
I was also quite nervous working on this one, since I know I'm not the only one that really loves this track! Throughout the whole marathon I kept thinking about this one, and wasn't sure how I would handle covering it. Though, after completing all the tracks that came before it, I was finally in the right sort of mindset to work on this one.
As I worked on this, I really wanted to focus on that bittersweet feeling I had mentioned earlier. I wanted to capture the melancholic sound the original had, yet I also wanted to add this powerful, hopeful emotion to it.
Originally, I was thinking of using some guitars, and having a "heavy" finish, but using guitars for this one just didn't quite sound right to me. I guess once you go full orchestral, there's no going back, huh?
I really, really enjoyed playing the piano for this one. I followed along with the original for the first minute, then when things started to kick in, I just sort of went with the flow and improvised the melody from thereon out.
I'm also quite proud of the way this one sounds. I think this is probably my most "movie-soundtrack-sounding" work I've ever done yet!
I also enjoyed putting the video together. I decided to do what I had done for the DOOM 2 Marathon finale, editing together all the previous covers from the marathon. Except this time, I decided to do something a bit different, since this channel has more than doubled in size since those days. I included a lot of your lovely comments posted throughout this marathon! There's a lot of new faces to go alongside with the old now. My apologies if your comment didn't make it into the video, I tried fitting as many as I could.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this finale! I'll be focusing mainly on some non-Doom stuff for the rest of this month, before I take on the very large, "Plutonia MIDI Pack"!
So, until next time! ~DAR
P.S: Happy 4th of July to my fellow American viewers/subscribers! Hope y'all have a good BBQ and good day today =).

DAR -
dar-a-storm-at-sea
Perilous waters ahead, the only way out is through!
Ah yes, back when I was in my tapping-phase as a guitarist. A phase that I think all guitarists inevitably will go through, and as they should; because double-tapping will always sound cool \m/! With that context in mind, all the leads (except for the harmony part) were double-tapped.
I think the only other time I've gone tap-only for leads was on "The Shores of Destiny" from the "On Impulse" album. There may've been a couple of covers where I did it, but I think those were with a cleaner/less-distorted tone (like the Metroid Prime cover).
I really enjoyed tinkering with the leads on this one. I made small changes here and there, and even made up a harmony bit towards the middle of the song. Something that I was worried about when sitting down to re-record this was the intro tapping. You see, back when I did the original, I just sort of winged it and didn't play to a metronome. I just tapped, hoping that it would work with the 114bpm tempo. Thankfully I didn't wind up having any timing/tempo issues. I even managed to map out the MIDI notes for the MIDI version without too much hassle. However, double-tapped parts just don't sound as "magical" when done as MIDI. But I'm sure I'll tweak the MIDI later for when I release the MIDI version of the album.
As for the rhythm guitars, I kept them nice and simple, just as they were in the original. What I did do though was spice up the bass guitar a little. Nothing too fancy, just throwing in some octaves and fifths. It always amazes me how such a simple change/addition can do a lot for the bass. I quite enjoyed recording the bass bit during the harmonized lead part.
Also, just like the previous two remakes, the new strings and synth/piano parts are definitely here to stay! I even decided to throw in a choir for the final stretch.
I've got to also give a shoutout to QuietMusic for their free "Rain Maker" VST-plugin. I was almost going to goof around with pink-noise in a synth, trying to fake my own rain. I also have no idea where my original rain sample went, and for that matter, I'm not sure where I even got it from back then either. So it was probably for the best that I found a proper replacement. Compared to a decade ago, the amount of free, high-quality plugins/samples nowadays is stunning! Definitely burning/backing-up this one to disk and keeping it in my toolkit of goodies.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this remake of "A Storm At Sea"! Up next, we finally leave the ocean behind and make landfall in, "Joyride"! ~DAR

Shoutout and thanks goes out to longtime subscriber, Raees Kamaar, for requesting this rockin' tune for the Subscriber Appreciation Event!
So, this one was a bit tricky at first, as the original was only a 30 second loop. In the beginning, I wasn't sure where I was going to go with this one. However, I knew that I definitely wanted to have it open up with some epic orchestral rendition of the song. Shortly after that, I chugged and noodled around to my heart's content!
I tried to stay true to the direction and spirit of the original. The original had this very heroic and triumphant-sounding air about it. I wanted to amplify that feeling a bit more, and I also wanted to impart a heavenly tone to this cover as well. I think that the additions of the choir and the clean-guitar/synth combo achieved this fairly well!
As I worked on this cover, I really got a sort of Ace Combat vibe from it all, so I certainly enjoyed myself while working on this one! Anyways, as always, I hope you all enjoy the cover and hope you all look forward to more covers! ~DAR

Ah yes, this song and level. The first time we all encountered the Cyberdemon, greeted by a loud "BRRUGH" after shooting at one of the lost souls. As I mentioned in the previous video, I had been pretty pre-occupied this past week. I was pretty sure that I would have to push this one back to next week! However, to my surprise, I managed to power through and completed this one in time! Since we're nearing the end of the Doom 1 marathon, I figured I would change/spice things up a little bit for E2M8 and E3M8. Thanks to skimming the ZDoom wiki, I found the commands I needed for flying, NoTarget, and hiding the weapon sprite! I also decided to use Brutal Doom as well, since it just felt right for the occasion! Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR

NEED
need-for-speed-2-opening-theme-cover-by
Hey all, I'm finally back! To get back into the swing of things, I decided to cover my favorite Need For Speed opening/intro. I remember back then, my dad and I would always watch the opening every time we started the game. I thought this would take me a few days to finish, but to my surprise, I managed to get everything all done in one day! I also used clips of the synth parts from the original, since I just couldn't bring myself to change them (and I felt that they flowed nicely between the parts I made). Anyways, I had a lot of fun finally getting to cover one of my favorite jams from back in the day! Hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR

Vocal Version: https://odysee.com/staind-for-you-cover-by-dar:4059b76a662d2f75217090499a52dc4965cdc677
And here be the instrumental version for all of you to jam along to! This time though, with the actual video, instead of a still-shot or audio-visualizer thing!
So I kept the structure the same, but I decided to mess with a few things in the chorus. Mainly with making full chords for the rhythm guitar, as opposed to just normal power chords. I also wound up busting out the Strat and recording a bit that sits over on the left side. Its based on the original lead part, but I made those into chords and strummed them out. Then over on the right, we've got the normal leads (with a DAR twist of course!). Made the leads a bit dissonant at times, since I really love that sound, when used in moderation. Also had to throw in those slow whammy detunes at the ends of the choruses. Just felt really good to close the chorus with those detuning leads! I also threw in some harmonics right before the start of each chorus.
Really loved how this turned out! Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the instrumental too! ~DAR

DOOM
doom-plutonia-midi-pack-plugged-in-cover
Been really looking forward to this song, always really dug the vibe of this track!
I was in a more noodly mood this time around and decided to make a few changes and additions to the song.
Structure is mostly the same, aside from shortening the beginning by 2 measures, and the "DAR-style" extended outro/final-chorus.
I also slightly changed up the power-chord arpeggio part when the guitars first come in. I also decided to keep the guitars going, this time without palm muting. Initially, I hadn't planned on making up a lead part during this section. I wound up adding it after I had made the leads for the outro.
Speaking of which, I absolutely loved noodling around for the outro! Those last two measures from the original MIDI were awesome and I was vibing along with it!... but then it was only just 2 measures, and thus the MIDI restarts! So for this rendition, I knew I definitely had to find a way to extend that part.
Also, I'm glad that I decided to throw in a little white-noise riser effect to lead into the solo. I usually reach for one of my cymbal samples and reverse them, but I was feeling a bit "adventurous" and ran some filtered white-noise through one of my flangers. I don't typically use risers like this since I usually associate them with EDM-type stuff, or [insert any movie-trailer from the past like 10 years]. But it worked out quite nicely here, if I do say so myself!
On the topic of feeling a little adventurous and experimental, I decided to roll back the gain on my amp quite a bit. Now, while I will do this for my rhythms at times, I usually always keep my leads nice and saturated/distorted. However, doing my leads with lower gain/drive just wound up really having the right kind of "texture" for the track. I definitely need to not shy away from rolling back the gain dial in the future.
However, I did bring the gain back up to my usual amount for one of the rhythm guitar recordings during the outro. I still had the lower-gain tracks playing, panned hard-left and hard-right. However, the 3rd rhythm recording was panned over about 25% to the left and really added a little extra oomph to the outro's rhythm section!
Of course, even more oomph was added through the use of a synth and a simple choir part. The synth wound up playing the same thing as the string section. Then the choir part is just simply sustaining an F, and then quickly going up to a G every couple of measures. Subtle, simple, but definitely effective!
In the section leading up to the solo, I decided to throw in some french horns to add to the dramatic and hopeful tone of the song.
Lastly, I just added some tom drums during the outro for a little more impact. That, and I added a few more subtle ride cymbal parts in the sections preceding the solo.
At first, when I sat down to work on this one, I was pretty nervous that I'd have a creative block. Most of the time when I'm in "work-mode" I can hear the cover in my head when just listening to the original. Though, every once in a while, I'm unable to "hear" the idea for the rendition in my head. Thankfully, everything just kinda fell into place through the course of recording and messing around!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my take on this lovely track! ~DAR
