  1. A. I've written entire songs in one pattern. Nothing wrong with that, though it does defeat the purpose of pattern-based workflow. I just find it easier sometimes for large orchestral pieces where I need to see how everything flows together.

    Yeah, I do a similar thing for more live pieces; each section of the song is one pattern, thus having a diagonal string of patterns going downwards. Whilst people might think that's completely pointless, it does end up being easier to see where different sections are (with less clutter than Logic or Cubase) and also to copy and change them individually.

    I'm glad the option of blocks is still included, Neblix needlessly worried me. ;D

  2. And the transition between the parts is definitely awkward because for one the timbre of piano soundfont I'm using varies greatly according to velocity and sounds totally different loud and soft.

    That sounds like a brilliant soundfont, why not try using that timbre difference to make a much more human sound? The sequencing is crazy stiff and you've obviously got the velocity (notice I didn't say volume) way up because each note sounds like the keyboard is being slammed down. Perhaps reign in some of your note starting times, vary the note velocities and generally try to trick us into believing this wasn't sequenced.

    It takes practice, best thing to do is have a play about on a piano yourself and see what it does/how it sounds.

    Some good chord sequences in there, some questionable chords in places however.

  3. his name is actually a shortened version of the word 'halcyon' which is pronounced hal-see-on

    so yeah there you have it

    I'm so fucking sick of this story. I'm so sick of the OMG ITS HALK NOT WAT UR HALSEA LOL WAT, fad. It's not cool guys, now I'm tired of it. Look what you've driven me to. Look!!! I'm a shell of my former self, and I blame you all for it.

    lol halk.

    EDIT-

    A little off-topic, but I had always assumed the "c" in "halc" was a hard "k" sound...it's nice to have the kana to set me straight (though I don't quite see why, based on its romanized counterpart, the vowel is elongated).

    Haha, that was my doing. Ignore cththththththulu, it's hal-sea. And yeah, the kana is harushiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- pahaha, I dunno, I thought it sounded better with the long vowel sound. Please correct me if I'm wrong, my Japanese is bloody awful DOMOARIGATODOZOYOROSHIKUDESUNE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  4. Does anyone else agree or is it just me? The text does genuinely stand out as dated to me.

    As a graphic designer, yeah, I agree. I dislike the whole corporate branding, however it's one of those things you've just gotta man-up and deal with. Pretzel obviously digs it and the whole thing is his brain child, so his word kinda goes. It's functional and works. Couple that with the fact the logo/font/name has existed for so long, it becomes awkward to change. People hate change, it confuses and scares them.

    If anyone ever wants my advice I'd be happy to give it, but really, it is fine the way it is right now.

    Also, Mirby, your game looks the lame. Yeah, I said it. Prove me wrong.

  5. Um... it's Canvas Curse...

    But isn't it Kirby: Power Paintbrush?

    But isn't it Touch! Kirby?

    But isn't it CURSED CANVAS?!?

    BUT ISN'T IT KIRBY AND THE AMAZING MIRROR?!?!

    WHO IS RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!

  6. Hahaha, yep. This is much much better. Personally, I'd like a little more on the high end EQ-wise, but it's all down to taste. I really love this arrangement you know (apart from the abrupt ending, but meh, you're not planning on changing it), you Subbing this? Pretty sure it would pass.

    Damn, I've gotta cover the Moon theme now, I'm all inspired. ;D

  7. As for volume, just crank up your speakers guys. Problem solved.

    No, problem not solved. That's not good practice man. You want your track to be hitting at least 0 dB, in other words, normalising. I guess you could just go ahead and ignore the noise and low volume, but I would've thought you'd like to polish off your tracks with industry-standard production rather than leaving it sounding ameturish.

    Also Nase had a good point there, some stereo between the two extremities of the keyboard would be nice.
