I enjoy making music, especially covers of old Commodore 64 tunes. I knew (and still know) the melodies of a lot of C64 tunes, but remembering the bass and drum parts are a lot harder, so I usually listen to small parts of the tunes repeatedly while trying to play them on my keyboard, in order to make the covers as accurate as possible.
Here are some C64 covers that I made as MIDI files from around 1997 to 1999. I had a Sound Blaster AWE32 back then, and the music sounded pretty good on that. Unfortunately, MIDI sounds very different depending on the sound card and/or sound font. To overcome this, I recently opened the files in GarageBand, tweaked the instruments and then exported mp3 files to SoundCloud.
