I'll try to get something done afterwards though.

| MFGG Message Boards: Archives > Music Competitions > Unofficial Music Competition - SMB Theme |
| Posted by: AppleQueso Nov 24 2007, 09:07 PM |
| Yoshiman gave me the go ahead, so I'm making this now. This is the first Unofficial Music Competition the rules are essentially the same as the official competitions in the General Chat. There will be a limited time to work, followed by a vote, followed then by a final vote. The theme is: "Create a composition that is either a remix of, or resembles the same style as the overworld theme from Super Mario Bros." Examples are somewhat unnecessary, as this song is all but universally reknown. You may submit either modules, midi or mp3, however not wav, as the file size is too large. Here's some helpful programs http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ - Free Recording software http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&i=lame-mp3 - Allows Audacity to export to MP3, a must. This will also allow you to convert .Wav to .Mp3 (via Audacity) http://www.anvilstudio.com/ - Simple to use Midi sequencer (click "Download ver xxxx" at the top of the screen") http://www.modplug.com/ - A sequencer that uses wav samples. If you want more info on how to use it, check our the NCFC music workshop transcript - http://brosofcanada.sepwich.com/NCFCTrans/MusWorkTrans.txt I'm not sure how long to give, but for now, you have until Dec 8, 2007. If an extension is necessary at that time, we will make one. Enjoy the competition, and good luck! |

| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 24 2007, 10:41 PM | ||
Bravo! Pretty good for when you were first learning piano. |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey Nov 24 2007, 11:28 PM |
| Hey... it was my idea (sort of...) No but, honestly, I'm glad this worked out. |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Nov 25 2007, 09:30 AM |
| I'm not so good with the SMB1 Overworld theme, but I'll give it a try. |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Nov 25 2007, 12:34 PM |
| Allrighty. Here's my entry. It's a bit of a medley. |
| Posted by: Gadouken Nov 25 2007, 12:38 PM |
| ill enter mine, once i tell my bandmates, if not ill just do a layered guitar arrangment. |
| Posted by: Tony Trombone Nov 25 2007, 02:32 PM | ||
Gnar! Awesome job, brah |
| Posted by: Draco Icebane Nov 25 2007, 04:06 PM |
| As much as I'd like to enter, I hate this song and I can't do shit with it ... maybe one of you guys' submissions can give me an idea to steal |
| Posted by: Draco Icebane Nov 25 2007, 06:49 PM |
| ... you guys are thinkin outside the box for this one alright that's it it's time for mega awesome draco remix 2000 |
| Posted by: Draco Icebane Nov 25 2007, 07:03 PM | ||
for whatever reason winamp will not play it (and yes I installed an ogg plugin, and yes it's the one you use to play them not to make them) http://www.angrycoffee.com/tutorials/vorbis/oggwin.html ^ followed this and it won't play |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 26 2007, 12:04 AM | ||
This would sound really awesome, but only if you got your notes correct for the melody. |
| Posted by: Foshi Nov 26 2007, 11:03 AM |
| cool. i'll try to do something. |
| Posted by: Tony Trombone Nov 26 2007, 03:09 PM | ||
It might just be my tastes, but it sounds like that was intentional |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 26 2007, 03:10 PM | ||
Usually if someone intentionally makes wrong notes, he/she either makes all the notes wrong, or pitches them at the beginning of a measure, not at random intervals. |
| Posted by: Pucifur Nov 26 2007, 08:08 PM |
| I'll be entering if I can get my computer fixed. :< |
| Posted by: Simoneister Nov 27 2007, 01:53 AM | ||
That's pretty cool, even though some of the notes are a bit off. What program do you use? |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 27 2007, 02:09 AM |
| BTW, almost done my piece. I just... have to actually figure out... how to end this damn thing. And then I have to go and EQ and a bunch of other stuff. |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Nov 27 2007, 07:39 AM | ||
I use Anvil Studio. I know some of the notes are a bit off. I suck at doing the SMB-theme. |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 27 2007, 11:16 AM | ||
Did you look at the sheet music for it? |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Nov 27 2007, 12:03 PM | ||
No, I didn't... |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 27 2007, 12:05 PM | ||
Ah, by ear, then? |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Nov 27 2007, 12:21 PM | ||
Yup. I didn't think of looking for the sheet music even the slightest bit. It would have been handy. |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 27 2007, 12:24 PM | ||
Yeah, I use sheet music when I make my remixes (except when I add original touches to it). It just eliminates the chance of making a horrible note appear. |
| Posted by: Draco Icebane Nov 27 2007, 03:48 PM | ||
i learn a song by ear, first the key and then the notes; if i have the same instrument that the song uses then it's easy (of course you should have a copy of the song handy) |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 27 2007, 05:43 PM |
| Took me long enough to finish this. http://www.genericaonline.com/sites/yoshiman/MariosRightHandManDJYoshiman.mp3 Shortened the filename without spaces for URL sake. |
| Posted by: Draco Icebane Nov 27 2007, 05:45 PM | ||
Eso es asombroso. |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey Nov 27 2007, 05:47 PM |
| Well my dad pretty much admited that I'm getting a laptop for my Bday so I might try to enter this weekend. If not, hopefuly this will do well enough for official comps to start. |
| Posted by: Parakarry Nov 28 2007, 10:22 PM |
| Is there going to be a badge for this if this becomes official? If there is, I suggest the Attack FX badge. |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 28 2007, 10:29 PM | ||
We'll worry about that if we get enough entries. |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey Nov 28 2007, 10:30 PM |
| I really wish the sound worked on my computer so I could listen. |
| Posted by: Parakarry Nov 28 2007, 10:33 PM |
| I'd love to enter something but this weekend I have two huge school projects due. I'll try to get something done afterwards though. |
| Posted by: Weirdestchild Nov 29 2007, 05:11 PM | ||
It may be just my taste in music, but it took way too long to start, and to me I just don't like songs that take too long to start. When it does start, it takes another amount of time to get to the next part. And on a technicality, the other half of the song is the underground theme, and not the overworld theme... and the ending to the entire song just didn't feel like it had any kind of impact. Sounds like a good Techno song though... although I don't care for techno, but again, it's just my taste in music. Oh, and I am so entering, .mid of course. |
| Posted by: BlizzardMan Nov 29 2007, 05:47 PM | ||
haha this is pretty good |
| Posted by: Z0mbi3 Nov 29 2007, 05:52 PM | ||
That's pretty sweet. |
| Posted by: Madam Ki Nov 29 2007, 08:26 PM |
| If remixes are allowed, I may just give this a try. Dun' worry though, I'm gonna make sure to do a DAMN good job. |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Nov 29 2007, 10:07 PM | ||
I told AppleQueso to ensure we kept this first competition very open and general, which is why I let another member previously keep his entry, as he has not only a medley of the overworld and underground, but the star theme as well. And, yeah, it's usually the taste in music that gets everyone. >_< There's various amounts of variables that are difficult to achieve every single individual's gratification in every one. And it's more Electronic than Techno, but since you said you don't have a taste for that kind of music, it's expected that you could generalize it to that genre. *thumbs up* |
| Posted by: Simoneister Nov 30 2007, 12:26 AM | ||
W...o...w...That is too awesome for words! |
| Posted by: WoodMan Nov 30 2007, 11:44 PM |
| I'll be entering either when I get my laptop (with garage band) somewhere from the 3rd to 8th nvm, if my dad let's me download on his computer I'll be able to get it on with my clarinet. |
| Posted by: Spritanium Dec 1 2007, 12:39 PM |
| Very WIP |
| Posted by: Tony Trombone Dec 1 2007, 12:55 PM |
| That doesn't sound too bad. Expand on that and show us! |
| Posted by: Spritanium Dec 1 2007, 07:19 PM | ||
Anvil Studio is damn confusing though |
| Posted by: Tony Trombone Dec 1 2007, 09:25 PM |
| I'm just going to export the MIDI straight out Sibelius. I'm just doing an arrangement of the song. |
| Posted by: Bormogin Dec 2 2007, 01:09 AM |
| Here is a remix, I might use eventually... |
| Posted by: Tony Trombone Dec 2 2007, 01:23 AM |
| That sounds really familiar. Like, from a game, but I can't put my finger on it... It's really awesome, though! I did, though, hear some sour notes (that I don't think were intentional) |
| Posted by: Bormogin Dec 2 2007, 01:26 AM | ||
You mean me? Oh, yes I did. I slip in sour notes to add more texture to the song. |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Dec 2 2007, 02:06 AM |
| Bormogin, very nice song! Way to add some original elements to it! Also, this is great, we're getting more entries! |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Dec 2 2007, 06:58 AM | ||
You mean Paper Mario: The Thousand Years Door's Petal Meadow? |
| Posted by: Tony Trombone Dec 2 2007, 11:51 AM |
| Yes, that's the one |
| Posted by: Bormogin Dec 2 2007, 12:34 PM | ||
Why thank you. |
| Posted by: Pucifur Dec 2 2007, 04:47 PM |
| Uhm... WIP so you guys know I'm actually doing this. |
| Posted by: Z0mbi3 Dec 2 2007, 05:04 PM | ||
It sounds out of tune. :O |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Dec 2 2007, 05:04 PM | ||
Me likey the beach theme to this one. |
| Posted by: Pucifur Dec 2 2007, 05:09 PM | ||
Like... the notes suck or it's in a different key than the original? |
| Posted by: Tony Trombone Dec 2 2007, 08:44 PM |
| Here's my entry!~ I was going to write out music for an entire battery line, but I just did a bass part. I didn't want to clutter it up. |
| Posted by: kane]deth[ Dec 2 2007, 09:23 PM |
| I'm not going to try to match up to these. Maybe next one. @Bormogin What program do you use? Also, it ends rather abruptly. @Pucifur Nice beach thing you have going on. Reminds me of the tadpole pond in SMRPG. |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Dec 2 2007, 09:31 PM | ||
Probably Anvil Studio or some other MIDI sequencer. |
| Posted by: kane]deth[ Dec 2 2007, 09:35 PM |
| I'm only asking because when I tried anvil studios, it was strange to put music into, (Not that I had prior experience in making music, but...) so I wanted to know if he used a different program that I could try. |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Dec 2 2007, 09:37 PM | ||
All MIDI sequencers are similar in how you insert notes, chords, progressions, and how you use the piano roll or wave table to change your volumes, pitches and other effects. |
| Posted by: Z0mbi3 Dec 2 2007, 09:55 PM | ||
hmmm, Notes sound out of tune. just one. |
| Posted by: Pucifur Dec 2 2007, 09:59 PM |
| Just one note? Is it in the guitar strumming part? Since I put an out-of-key note in there. |
| Posted by: Parakarry Dec 4 2007, 01:37 AM |
| I was given the go-ahead to make these: Shiny incentives to make this an ongoing competition!    Though actually I should make that gold one a little more gold. EDIT: There we go. |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Dec 4 2007, 02:44 AM |
| Okay you know what later I'ma go download some music making program and see if I have any musical talent. |
| Posted by: Draco Icebane Dec 4 2007, 10:22 AM | ||
you need luck too |
| Posted by: Littlink Dec 4 2007, 10:55 AM |
| I killed it, brought it back as an undead and made it sing. http://files.filefront.com/wtf+mariobrosmp3/;9188555;/fileinfo.html |

| http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?showtopic=197599&view=findpost&p=2673269 Me want critique!!!!11`- |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Dec 4 2007, 07:52 PM |
| Littlink, asfdafda what have you done Tony, yours is definitely interesting. I'm pretty much amazed at the fact that you were able to make the song using only percussion instruments. |
| Posted by: Littlink Dec 4 2007, 08:03 PM | ||
It was originally supposed to be pseudo-Yoshiman Capella, but I couldn't stay on key to save my life. So I recorded samples of me going "Doo" and "Chht" and added that.  |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Dec 4 2007, 08:15 PM | ||
ha ha ha wow you and me should do a duet sometime |
| Posted by: Spritanium Dec 4 2007, 10:27 PM |
| You guys need to give me your midi making talents dsfsd Maybe I'll just record something with my guitar... |
| Posted by: Bormogin Dec 4 2007, 11:45 PM | ||
Anvil Studio, (I combine 2 instruments to make one, sometimes) |
| Posted by: Grant Dec 4 2007, 11:50 PM |
| I'm surprised hardly anyone has noticed Tony Trombone's entry. It is seriously awesome. I actually saved the file to my hard drive to listen to in leisure moments. I haven't heard some of the entries yet, but I will in time. As for me, I'm afraid I'm out of the running from the start in any music competition. I don't know crud about making music. ._. |
| Posted by: Bormogin Dec 4 2007, 11:52 PM |
| At least Tony Trombone has the right notes, but I wouldn't necessarily pick that for a game. |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Dec 5 2007, 12:38 AM |
| Jesus fucking christ Littlink That's awesome. :D |
| Posted by: Grant Dec 5 2007, 12:47 AM |
| I should have listened to Littlink's before posting, because now I must post again to say that his is very highly cool and amusing. I'll still get around to you other guys' entries. D: |
| Posted by: Hohoo Dec 5 2007, 06:52 AM |
| Could you please extend the time to Monday? Otherwise I wouldn't be able to submit my entry, because I won't be home on weekend. EDIT: Here's some WIP thingy. http://koti.mbnet.fi/hohoo/romuvarasto/muscot1.mp3 |
| Posted by: Draco Icebane Dec 5 2007, 12:49 PM |
| also i'd like to specify that most of the formats in Modplug Tracker use instruments, not just samples -- instruments can be multisampled and apply effects to them which could potentially make it sound more realistic it also supports some soundfonts but I'm not sure on the technicalities of that |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Dec 5 2007, 03:28 PM | ||
holy shit, i just lost based on this small sample alone |
| Posted by: Littlink Dec 6 2007, 09:29 AM | ||
That was like, amazing! |
| Posted by: Draco Icebane Dec 6 2007, 05:09 PM |
| hohoo is amazing so guys im still workin on this but i think i have somethin here i hope i can at least get a top 5 badge 'cause what with runnin a music workshop for ncfc you'd think i could get a top 5 badge god BEHOLD for you opera users apparently you can't save as my link so here is an attachment |
| Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Dec 7 2007, 04:01 PM |
| <3 yours, Draco. Also, DUE DATE IS TOMORROW, DUN DUN DUUUUUUN. |
| Posted by: Tony Trombone Dec 7 2007, 05:09 PM |
| Nice, Draco! It flows very nicely, but I think you could have taken it easy with the rolls |
| Posted by: hazmeister Dec 8 2007, 12:51 PM |
| DJ Yoshiman for the win! |
| Posted by: Draco Icebane Dec 8 2007, 03:31 PM | ||
what rolls oh wait piano rolls do you mean the back part that's the same thing throughout the whole song |
| Posted by: Tony Trombone Dec 8 2007, 03:45 PM |
| The main piano's rolled out chords |
| Posted by: Luigifan12 Dec 11 2007, 09:27 PM | ||
I really like this. If I had gotten temporary sound sooner, I would have voted for you. |
