Decentered: An endless sporadic series from Sigrev2

Welcome to the world of Decentered.
What's Decentered?
You know how some sounds are in "mono"? In that they're played in a single channel, regardless of setup? Even in stereo transmissions, there will be a mono channel present. It's usually what forms the base of practically any song. Vocals, drums, bass, these things are usually mixed in the center "mono" channel.
The concept here: what happens when you remove that mono channel and leave a mono output of what's being played on the Left and Right channel only?
Needless to say, it can provide quite amusing and intriguing results. Some sounds drop out entirely, others become more pronounced, some you might not have even noticed the first time might take their time to shine. Goes to show just how much mixing matters in the final product.
This project focuses exclusive on BEMANI material (mostly material from DDR for now), which explains why it's in the BEMANI Games subforum.

Here are some examples of Decentered material:




More will be uploaded eventually. Feel free to make requests, but I don't promise anything unfortunately.

UPDATE:

Into the world / QUADRA uploaded

DOUBLE EDIT:

TRIP MACHINE's in on the fun now too~

---

I can't speak for Into the World because I've never heard the original, but it seems like all but PARANOiA are enhanced.

Request for GENOM SCREAMS by L.E.D. LIGHT

---

You ask, and you shall receive!

---

Dang, Into the World sounds like a whole new song.

Do Macho Gang.

Deep in you and Salamander please

---

Midnite Blaze/ or in my eyes

---

Macho Gang and Don't Stop! ~AMD 2nd MIX~ uploaded!

---

gonna step that version of Macho Gang brb

Can you do patsenner and PERFECT FREE too?

patsenner was actually the song that sparked the idea for this project, so it'll definitely be uploaded after the next batch of material.

Just a note for requests; just because/IF I don't do it, it's not because I didn't notice or don't care. It has to be an interesting or amusing listen when I do the reduction, and if I don't get a decent listen out of the material, I won't keep it. If it sounds too close to the original or is just a mess, I'm not gonna keep it. My apologies in advance.

---

Hmmm can you do either Holic or HAELEQUIN?

I suppose I might as well ask the obvious one and ask if you could do MAX 300?

Or if that makes me sound boring, MAX 300 (Super Max-me-Mix)?

---

Interesting. Can you do HYSTERIA (from DDR Solo) or HYSTERIA 2001 (from Beatmania) or both?

---

I would ask you to make a Decentered Edit of 宛城、炎上！！ from CHUNITHM, but you said BEMANI only.

So instead, can you do a Decentered Edit of Anisakis?

Decenter Daikenkai.
Lets all laugh when that gets posted please.

---

I wonder what GRADUISIC CYBER ~AMD G5 MIX~ Decentered would sound like.

---

Private Eye or bust.

SP-TRIP MACHINE (JUNGLE MIX) and HYPNØTIC CRISIS uploaded. Next up, a request and patsenner and two other tunes!

---

I'm loving this project! May I please request PARANOiA MAX ~Dirty Mix~ and LET THEM MOVE?

Also, are licenses for BEMANI games out of the question for the decenter series?

---

Those two songs are already in the pipeline, funny enough. Those were actually among the first I did for the project lol
EDIT: the first tracks converted, but not uploaded. Wanted to upload a decent spread first (not too bad to practically empty) before diving into the backlog.

Licenses are a bit of an iffy situation, and I don't wanna risk running the gamut of copyright hell on my channel. But, if something comes out good, I just might have to upload it. I promise 0%, however.

UPDATE (NOT ACTUALLY AN UPDATE): I remember there being a large graphics pack at one point consisting of bgs and variations up until SN. If any of you kind souls could send that my way (or at least a pack similar to that) so I don't have to comb through ZIv for each and every bg, it would be much appreciated.

---

Valkyrie Dimension and Straight Oath, plox? Unless the latter's a license, then Seasons?

Indeed, some neat, once hidden sounds sort of pop out when you do this. :0 Not sure I can deduct which songs will be cool, but looking forward to more stuff, whatever you pick.
