Duke Nukem 3D - Gotham [Cover By DAR] - E3L6 Rabid Transit

--
Shoutout to ReneMC for nominating this particular track a while back! Also, many thanks goes out to all of you whom voted Duke to the top of COVER BATTLEGROUNDS V!

Upon the first few times listening to this track, I immediately knew I wanted to have clean guitar parts added into it! First came handling the synths and slapping reverbs and whatnot onto my string sections though. Speaking of synths, that synth was a preset I came up with completely from scratch! I had thrown together this "Low Hum Pad" while experimenting with the Helm synthesizer while I was working on my original "Get Gored". Pretty happy that I got to use a new sound in something so quickly!

Anyhow, after getting all the other instruments set into their places for the cover, it was time to noodle around on the guitar! In order to get that brighter and bell-like tone, I chose to go full Stratocaster for this one (something that has really been a rarity over the last few years!). I really enjoyed recording the guitars on this. I just felt so relaxed, and I actually sat back a few times to close my eyes and just keep playing the new guitar bits over a loop. It really is nice being able to work on slower, soothing songs like this!

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the cover! Also, my apologies that this took me a while to get out. I actually wound up getting myself caught up in a long nostalgia-driven trip down memory lane while going through the Dragon Ball Z soundtrack. I'm feeling really confident about the upcoming Dragon Ball Z cover, so I also hope that you all look forward to hearing it! ~DAR

Not many people do covers of Duke3D outside of Grabbag but I can’t imagine any being better than this. Well done!

[pod_body]

Very great. Its unfortunate this doesn’t have more views, your music is very good!

[SuperStagosaurus]

You really capture the spirit of the original tracks in all your covers, great job DAR!

[NTAD]

Ah yes. Rabid Transit. Nothing said 🖕 better than leaving a pipe bomb in the tram for the next guy to jump in it on vs mode.

[usfsdadsfe]

Sweet, more Duke 3d. This along with your other duke 3D covers are phenomenal. Your "Aliens, say your prayers" cover just shuffled in on my way back from work today too... what a coincidence.

[GreatFox]

This is my favorite song from the game and you did it justice, my man.

[renemc]

Whoooaaa! Thank you sir!! this was beyond by expectations! I thought I'd never have the pleasure to listen a remake of one of my favourite Duke Nukem Tracks made by you. This made my day.

[DexiazFantom]

One of my favorite tracks from DN3D, yay! Nice work! \m/

[avalonjustin]

I like the sound you put on this dark track. Very cool.

[Gaia]

this cover keep the essence !, great job DAR!

[JuneGloomD]

I actually prefer to swap this song with Subway (so that Subway plays on Rabid Transit and Gotham plays on L.A. Rumble. I think the songs fit the levels much better that way.)

[LugubrisAgency]

Ya know the feeling when u just Plan to listen to the first like 40 secs but then end up listening to the end

[sega-re-trop-vieux]
