Geeky Stoner

i meant to post this last night but i was tired after i made it last night. Though that did give me a couple chances to listen to it before I posted it. well the drumloop slicing idea was scrapped.i tried arranging all the percussions myself. so any opinions on how this sounds what works,what sucks? please post

About that two round thing with seth flare you can also set the rounds to 1(and also an easier setting capcom is a little better with their difficulty gauge than in the past with street fighter)he still goes crazy on the first round but hes easier to beat because its one round. This is something a friend of mine online told me while i was in a party with him while I was complaining about the same thing. It does take the challenge with the last boss down I even did it on hardest and got him(yea i feel kinda dirty about that achievement) this is also good if your trying to unlock all the characters and can't because your not too good with everyone in the game. up for a game online with anyone later(my E.Honda's beastly I've been told)

oh wow thank Roz thats F'ing awesome thanks for the link man. ill look into this in a couple days,looks pretty cool. the full version(the deluxe one with all the synths and functions i like so much costs $300) so i'm stuck with free stuff right now. (oh and don't think your being all that negative Roz your being more realistic than anything).

Nah i haven't submitted anything to ocr yet i don't think i've made anything submittable yet personally.but i hope to get there one day. Also the reason im choose such a short source is because i'm using the demo of fl studio so i have to make the song in one sitting. id love to make a song with more source(i have midis that i haven't even used)but i want to wait until i have the full version so i can make something to go back and edit.

Alright i kinda dig what i did with this one. I think my skills are improving alot been a while since i tried this theme. gave it another try again tonight i think this turned out ok. (the drums are not too good after a couple listens) overall I like what i did with the main theme with this, did several variations on the main theme. So tell me what you all think out there. Forgot to post the source(still a newb )

ok did another version today. been having a lot of ideas in my head about this song over the past couple days. The build upon the original score is pretty minimal but i think the different effects make up for that.anyway had fun with this. kinda went for a simpler sound than the last few versions at least when is comes to the main synths. i toned down the drums and various percussions too they were far to spastic and fast before. ok so tell me what you think out there.

Personally I'm more of a Ryu fan myself. I really like goukens charge hadoukens (reminds of the Denjin super from third strike). still like fei long (though he is a little toned down) hate cpu zangief,abel,and SETH with a passion. anyway love this game (cep't for the ultra cheap boss) play me online if anyone feels like it. (if you send me a friend request just say something like i saw you on ocr or something I generally ignore random friend requests from gamercards i don't know)

alright made another one I'm not really sure what to think about this one. I did some cool things with effects i think. 2:46 to 3:31 i tried to put some more depth into i tried some pads and drums. but nothing sounded right and it was getting late and i had to wrap it up and go to bed. so i went with a simple ending. Oh well ill try again some other time.

Heh thats a good idea ill look into a midi sequencer. i was planning on buying the $50 version of flstudio but its actually kinda of a downgrade from the demo (you lose alot of the synths and the piano roll function is big for me) so i'm savin up for the $300 deluxe version.my dad did mention somethin about my bday though

thanks again.yeah i just learned that beat slicing thing yesterday. i've been thinking about making a slowed down(maybe trance like) part for this in the middle and then going into a big finale. maybe ill try again tonight. I'm using the demo of flstudio so i cant save my data of of a song(only render it to mp3) so i cant recreate anything i made 100%. It is frustrating having to do everything in one sitting and not being able to save but oh well. in the meatime until i can afford the full version ill try to get better and just have fun attempting to remix.

alright did another version just now.after watching tutorial earlier today.so I tried my own sliced drums on this mix.learning new stuff everyday.

oh thanks for the youtube suggestion ill check that out sometime. i did just give zircons tutorial a read a couple days ago that really taught me a lot especially about what a lot of different effects actually do. there is another song i'm working on (sort of) using the mario underground theme here in the wip forums as well check it out and pick all the different versions apart if you feel so inclined. thanks again.

thinks for this input ive been hoping to get some more opinions of my music anyway im still learning and still have a long way to go obviously. i just took a listen to it this morning and i like the first version better, i got too random on the second one i think.Oh well live and learn. either way im having fun tinkering with the flstudio demo. i'm probably getting the full version soon. thanks sorry for putting you through such a repetitive song. thanks for the opinion hewho.

ok made a new version i hope this doesn't come off too loud i tried to tone it down a little

I made this over the afternoon today Just felt like making something easy i dunno it is a little loud i guess opinions, critiques? please post Oh yeah here is the original theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTFHhpZl3Uk

alright just recently gave zircons tutorials a read yesterday.so I'm reading up like you said pander. Can't believe i was using blatant delay drums in the last one. Well i still am technically on this but its a lot more subtle and its just a electronic kick not a full drum loop sample. Oh yeah speaking of drum loop samples there out i made all the drums myself' in fact most of this was me.The bass synth from 1:23 to 2:03 wasn't my own creation though but i did tinker with it though (some distortion and tone changes.)Its get kinda more industrial sounding around 2:11 tell me if you think I went to far with the distortion, as my last ear raping venture didn't turn out so well Caution this it is a little LOUD so maybe adjust the volume accordingly. So pick it apart,say what sucks,what works, what ya love, what ya hate. Oh yeah I'm not really good with titles if anyone out there has any title suggestions i appreciate it and you'd get the credit for coming up with a title.

alright i broke the mold a little with this one.kinda going for a trance sound on this one i think.Its a little simple but i like what i did with the theme in this one even built on it a little.(no new notes but i little extension here and there)

OK just finished this.I like it, but I'm a little uncertain about it. alright so tell me if you think its up to snuff? (Edit) oh yeah I was never really able to expand on the original theme i tried a few things but they never worked out

Thanks for the input everyone.I would've posted sooner but my monitor crashed and i had to get a new one.However that did give me a chance to really listen to my latest version deeply and i think i can recreate this version fairly easily,I remember the drum loops the synths the effects everything and i think it just needs a little fine tuning.I'm going to adjust the filtered cymbals,they tend to drown out everything sometimes and I'm going to try to build on the core theme a little bit more because i really didn't on the last one i just rearranged the loops here and there.Once again thank you all so much for your critiques and opinions you all really helped me refine this song.

Alright i think this version is pretty good. I like how i arranged the main theme loop in this. I think the different percussions really keeps things together in this. Tell me what you think?

Thanks for the opinion.the last version i posted i did right when i got up today and i don't think i was in the right state of mind.and i kinda of hit a creative wall at the end which probably why that weird slowed down riff at the end its actually really hard to slow that ending riff down manually and i don't think i got it quite right.The first one was just really kinda of toying with the melody a lot and just making random stuff.As i stated before I'm using the demo version of fruity loops so i kinda have to rush the whole piece in a couple hours.It is fun though doing this over and over even if is frustrating at times.I listen to every other version of the theme on this site for inspiration i liked the drums in injurys version.I guess my goal originally was to make a really warped out sort techno version of the underground theme. I might try this again tonight if i find the time.

Do you see links what are you doing back here!? OK lets try this again i tried to concentrate on structure mostly this time trying to blend it all into one whole piece.The general idea is to start off basic and progressively get more complex. i changed the tempo a couple times on the core loop,I think everything blends together really well.Honestly though I don't like this version too much personally.Don't get me wrong i think is a better piece overall but it never gets loud or heavy enough for my taste. *edit I deleted this version it was ok,like what my brother said it was a crisper version but maybe a little too crisp.Anyway i was getting too many versions of the song as it is*

Well the demo version of flstudio doesn't seem to let you save the project data, the patterns,effects and whole composition of the song basically.You can however render anything you've made as an audio file.So once you've made a whole song or loop you just click render as audio file and viola you've made a song but sadly you cannot edit it once you've closed the program all of your data of the creation of the song is lost.I feel this version is good so far. I really don't feel like doing this song again for a day or two, thanks for the input nonetheless.

Alright I thought about what you said and i think this version is much better. I Learned something new about Fruity Loops too while i was making this remix too which made it much better.I Discovered the piano roll which is (for those who don't know out there is playing multiple notes simultaneously) exactly was and also actually how to use a midi file in Fruity Loops.So i actually did use the Midi file this Time and once again i Broke it up into Three Patterns to compose the whole Loop.This was much easier than the other method i was using. which was load the Midi file and study the notes and try to recreate them using the normal input for notes also i didn't know about the piano roll so it wasn't multiple notes.I guess this method might be cheating a bit, i suppose you can answer that for me. But I didn't just rip the midi and be done with it i also altered the notes a bit you'll hear the variation at 1:18 that bass riff you liked comes in at 3:00.i made the ending kinda slow I'm wondering how you'll like that.Oh also i didn't mean for this sledgehammer of panning to come out in the last version it must've been the LovePhilter effect in FruityLoops Im not really sure how to control the panning on that sorry.I also payed attention to the volume levels as well. Edit took this one down too this one had some interesting ideas but never came together as a cohesive song

thank you for the critique Pander. Brutally Honest but thats what I'm looking for. Like I said Ive only been messing with flstudio for a couple months. Pretty much my method for getting the mario loop was taking a midi file from vgmusic using it as reference on the notes NOT in the actual song itself and try to recreate the three main riffs in it with two different instuments in flstudio,blank and alarma, and since I'm using the demo i cant save project data i have to do everything in one sitting so in order to use those loops again i made them into wav files maybe thats why the loops came out bad or maybe i picked the wrong instruments.This is the third version of this song so far so pretty much the loops your hear right at the beginning would be the basic version of the loop before any effects go on it then it gets more distorted as it continues but as you said that doesnt come off sounding well.I will try to be a little more subtle with that. i did kinda like what i did when it skips fast at 0:36 what did you think about that.I kinda do a couple little variations with that.I'm glad you liked the sort of background bass at 3:40 technically theres three versions of that riff in the song. Overall I agree with what your saying though It needs more work period. .
