Additional notes that apply specifically to this part: I decided to include a lot of covers here. I did cover songs from some mainstream artists who were likely very relevant in the early 2010s, but I decided to only include my cover of Kesha's 2010 song "Take it Off" as, though there might be some inaccuracies, I did attempt to get the notes entirely by memory, and some parts were improvised due to Medly Music Maker only giving you 8 tracks to work with (plus, I didn't have access to pitch-bending and other automation features since my iPad 2 running iOS 9.3.5 didn't support them). I also did a Beatwave cover of this song before my Medly cover, but that one had too many inaccuracies for me to include it here. In any case, all rights to this song are owned by Kesha herself and RCA Records. Both Marble Madness songs were done because, one day, I thought "these songs are simple, I should cover them!" I think I wanted to do all songs, but only did the first two in-game tracks. I also did Totaka's song because of how incredibly simple it is. The song "Roads" is a demo song that comes with Beatwave (one of the apps I used to use on my iPad). I decided one day to transcribe the notes in to Auxy and record it like how I used to play it in Beatwave. "Song of Beatwave" is actually a demo song that comes with Beatwave. I believe the original name for this song is "Universal Fallacy." All I did was change the instruments and name of the song. This song went through many iterations of whatever instrument I thought sounded great with the song. In fact, one version even used my own voice as an instrument! But, I went with the version I recorded before making a version that used my voice. Smooth Criminal is the second Michael Jackson song I ever covered. I believe by the time I did that, my thoughts on the Sega Genesis were changed, and I warmed up to the covers found in the video game adaptation of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Like Marble Madness, I wanted to do all songs, but the source for Billie Jean is now lost to time, and I also had started on Beat It, which I later abandoned due to an update that made the guitars sound less like rock and distortion guitars. For the song "Until The Sun Sets," I used two tracks for the percussion, one for the "highpass percussion," and another for the normal sounding percussion. It was my workaround for not having automation features on iPad 2 (although admittedly, it is a little tacky). I had to do some volume correction on some of the songs. In their original recordings, they were going way above 1.0db (I like to have my recordings not go above this mark).
