Consider using the real signals to compare if there is demand or not. Not the replacement signals (ghosts, lines).
You can multiply the demand by -1 and wire inventory + negated demand to the inserters, then activate the inserter if its item < 0.

I think I'm unsure exactly what kind of advantage ...

Still mostly a noob at this game...but I've finally worked through a design on my own without any direct help from the forums or youtube. That is to say, I didn't look at any other designs...only at the fundamentals like : "How does a combinator work?" and "What is an SR latch?".

It's one of my ...

Ok, normalized the 3 tracks and evened them out. They should all fall near the same dynamic range. Some difference between pieces due to their nature. but they're close! Haluzsqua no longer noticeably louder.

Can grab the zipped file with all 3 rendered in 320 kbps .ogg here - https://www ...

Nope, don't mind at all.

Also, if you want the tracks processed into .ogg it'd be better to do it from my sequencer, and it's not much effort. Could provide the .ogg pack as a .rar and provide the link to my mediafire. I can also do more of an official master on the 3 tracks as a group so they're ...

The original trilogy is now complete!

This one was the hardest of the 3 by far. (Which I knew it would be...and it's why I saved it for last)

The list of toughness : Custom white noise effects, had to make my own *grumble ...

I don't know what you used, but I used parallel compression mixing techniques and leveled the different effects (also some compressions) matching to the sound. :) Keyword is "New York Style". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_compression

I usually just use a normal, high quality multi-band ...

Bit of a double post (Maybe we should make a new thread for playing around with the pre-existing music) but I thought I'd comment now that I have all of the material to compare with. I actually feel the mixing and reverb on the new tracks are professionally done, but they simply lack that post ...

The three main tunes (that weren't wind or vague ambience) from the old soundtrack are on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9j4twfnAFzEQ3oYdsLU-HFUefa-9_e93

Yep, those are the one's I used as reference material for my remakes. Was the 2 that ssilk had posted that I wasn't sure ...

Thanks to ruhroh for the midi. I didn't try to make it similar, I added my own sound.

Pretty neat. More of a down tempo sorta thing, though it strays away from the sci-fi soundscape, i still like it. Good work

First one sounds good. Second one you'll need to eq the mids down a little to compensate for all of that reverb because it's causing alot of bad resonance.

For me personally, I'd just need to hear the original vs. 100% effect chain. I'd hear the difference, I have pretty good studio monitors :)

I ...

Nice. It's as good restructured as it can be heard. Midi would be good enough. For me it worked with Haluzsqua quite well.
With Haluzsqua I currently experiment to add again the MP3-artefacts, cause someone mentioned, that these artefacts adds white noise. An interesting experience. :D

I also ...

Thanks much! Glad you guys like it

And if the devs were ever interested in working these tunes back in (though I doubt it, as they don't fit with the new soundtrack) HQ .ogg file format is definitely doable.

Decided to take a crack at the old intro for fun. Everything started from scratch / done by ear. Tried to keep it close, but wasn't as easy with this one...

This one was a little more difficult...had to make a few more custom instruments as I did not have any close presets in my library for a few ...

That is great. Crystal clear sound. Nice. :) That piece is also something like an evergreen. It's really so nice.

Sadly these tracks are currently not longer in the game. But because they are free there is nothing against (re-)making a mod out of it. :)

PS: I know what to hear tomorrow at work ...

Huh, bummer that they'd get rid of it...It fit nicely into the factorio theme. I actually don't really like a few of the newer songs as much...so...yeah.

Also thinking about re-doing the other 2 "original" songs as well. Can have an HD nostalgia pack at least .

Hi, I'm new to Factorio and have definitely taken a liking to it!

One of my hobbies is electronic music and audio mastering, and a side of that is re-working video game music.
