Music Competiton #6, Blustery Blooming Barycenter

Yeah. I know. I'm working on that now.

Here's my entry so far. It's still a major WIP, but I still think it's an alright remix. I'm going to fix a few messed-up moments in the song and hopefully add more instruments (and perhaps a piano solo), but this is it so far. Hope you enjoy it.

Okay, I changed mine to a wintery remix of it. It's only because IT'S APRIL AND THERE IS STILL 6 INCHES OF SNOW AT MY HOUSE!!!!!!

When you got to that part where it starts playing the gusty garden theme exactly, it sort of seemed like the other piano which wasn't playing the theme was a bit off.
And at the end it seemed a bit off as well. Not sure if this one was intentional though.

Edit: And Black Boo, your entry seems much better this time, but it still screws up at places for me.

A definite WIP right now, I need some suggestions.

Near the end of this audio file, the flute suddenly hits a note. I love these high notes in the bar, they fit, unfortunately, they just suddenly jump to them. Any idea where the hell I can place them in the bar measure, or how to get to them, so they don't just suddenly hit? No way am I taking those puppies out.

For your note issue, I'd suggest carrying out the bottom note through the upper two notes.

As for the rest of the song... the beginning really reminded me of Stone Tower Temple, especially when the percussion kicked in. It's a neat remix!

Man, I'm pretty well screwed. AGAIN. I was hoping to win this one to make a broader SMG Music Competition.

i feel like such a dumbass for not even thinking of doing that, i'll have to the next time i open the song

Thanks for the suggestion! And thanks for the comment, though I'm obviously not done (ugh there is no equalizing in this song, raw music data is so lousy).



Black Boo: No you're not. Like I said, the quality of the instruments and such don't matter, you agreed with what I said about judging music based on arrangement and creative ideas. You could always take creative artistic liberty to do something different with your music that could impress other people and myself!

Also, please don't do the general SMG idea, especially right after this competition. We don't want to remix a song from the same game after we just finished remixing one, it mentally tires out the musicians from ideas. As well, it's been proven with the 2nd and 5th competitions that these competitions need a specific song to remix, we can't do general themes. It's the same deal with the drawing and sprite competitions.

;-;...I am actually pretty bad at this. Could you give me a hand then? I have a really crappy sequencing program...Warning to everyone, DO NOT GET MIDI MAKER!

I'd try Anvil Studio; but if you're looking for help, make a topic in the arts board asking for critique or ask for aide in the Help forum. Do you really think your competition is going to help you that much? :P

Anvil Studio won't play Gusty Gardens, it gives you an error after a few notes...
Unless you're in mixer, then it will.

That really really really rocks, especially the high notes thingies. Good job!

In the meantime, here's my WEEP entry (you need Winamp or ModPlug Tracker to play it):

Thanks, and also thanks to Pucifur for the suggestion, it works fine now. *thumbs up*


Also, Tri, I love this. Do more with the harp, it really added to the song!

Bada-bing. Got everything equalized and all.

Whoa, awesome. Love the title!

So does anyone have any more suggestions? If not, I'm dead...

Did you check your Help topic?

Totally forgot about that. I'll check.

I checked. I have modplug, but how do you sequence with it?

By the way, what's a barycenter?

There's a helpful tutorial from Draco and my music workshop from the NCFC.

Here's the transcript:

Also, it means a balance between two points.

Oh wow, that's really nice Yoshiman 8)

It's so great to hear all these renditions of this song...

I doubt I'm going to enter, because as much as I like it, it's lightyears beyond my skill level right now.
