  • Listen to the instrumental version here! - • It's Going Down Now - ...
    This is a cover of It's Going Down Now by Atsushi Kitajoh, Lotus Juice and Azumi Takahashi from Persona 3 Reload. I have recreated the track as if it was originally composed by Shoji Meguro and released on the PS2 around the time of the original Persona 3's release.
    Persona 3 Reload has been out for almost a week now, and I happen to really enjoy this song, so why not be trendy and cover it while it's hot? Just like my previous Shoji Meguro covers, I've tracked down his guitar tone that he used from Nocturne to Catherine and recreated it to use in these covers to make it sound authentic. The multi effects processor that he used was the Line 6 POD 2.0 and with some fiddling and EQ, you can achieve his tone from that era.
    The vocals have been isolated from the original track using AI which I've never done before, so there are a few artefacts but overall it came out better than I expected. I've also uploaded an instrumental version juuuuust in case Atlus doesn't like them though.
    The trouble with this track is that it was already composed in Shoji Meguro's style to begin with, using plenty of trumpets, piano, clean and distorted guitar, the "baby" sample etc. So just doing a straight cover would be kind of redundant, but I didn't want to change things too drastically. So I changed a few elements and added a guitar solo and changed the bridge to sound a little more like Battle for Everyone's Souls.
    I'm not as confident about this cover but I hope you still enjoy it anyway!

    Considering this has been stuck in my head all day, here my thoughts:
    Negatives: It's not longer
    Positives: That guitar, bro. The original is good, but the Meguro guitar strings make this song feel like it's an actual Persona song. The drums also help too. And to the original's credit, the strings at 1:37 are probably my favorite bit from the song as a whole. The fact that you added an entire solo that wasn't there in the actual song as well is just 🤌.
    Great remix, my guy. You should be very proud of yourself.

    This cover is absolutely sick, & I just love the concept of trying to see what this song could've sounded like with Meguro, instead of Kitajoh, in the original Persona 3. Let me just say, you absolutely nailed the Meguro guitar tone at 2:18, it sounds super similar! I read your description, and its great to gain some insight into how this was achieved. Also, man that guitar solo was flames. Overall, you did a great job with this cover, it sounds great!
    If you would like some more insight into some of the virtual instruments used in the original Persona 3, a plugin called "Kick Ass Brass!" was used for the trumpets everywhere, even up until P5R in Take Over. Unfortunately, not much else is known about P3, apart from a lot of the vocal samples being from "Best Service." Trilian, Stylus RMX, & Scarbee Mark I are used for the bass, breakbeats, and rhodes, respectively, in Persona 5, though! I hope that helps you out, & good luck with your music!

    Your guitar cover is great. But what it makes really feel shouji meguro persona 3 is the drums. The drums kick if i am not wrong at this section (2:21) were sick, this drum kick almost in any persona 3 ost that shouji meguro did. And i love it.
    Eventhough the original is good on it's own. I feel missing some part that it feels this is persona 3 then i realize it was the drums kick all along that i missed.
    Anyway still great cover tho.
