[PRC426 - Mega Man Finds His Way to PRC Again (Mega Man X5)]

My bonus entry's finished. Y'all got like 3 days to finish yours!

[Ftm File to Midi process: Need technical help]

I found it when I started looking into NSF after seeing that I could export a ftm into an nsf.

[Tips for EQing loud/epic tracks?]

I'm still learning principles for good EQ and the like. One tip I've studied is to consider starting with subtractive EQ, lowering the volume and levels of instruments to help the ones you're after to stand out without increasing their volume at first. This can help your composition have more "room" in its sound levels. I balance this by increasing the limiter's ceiling on my track and increasing the over all gain some to compensate for the decreased volume.

Hope more skilled artists respond here, I could use more pointers myself.

I really look forward to finding ways to expand on the song, and seeing what everyone else comes up with.
Also, I found that the midi file was a little wonky, so I created a new midi file to make things a little easier on everyone, included below.

Nice work, ninja robots! Great music, helpful feedback, a fun time. Now I gotta go pick something for the next round... HMMMM....

[PRC425 - The Great Track 8 (Zork 1)]

Great round, congrats, Souperion! Looking forward to seeing what you pick for us next time!

[MnP 123: Double Dose: Shinobii III - Inner Darkside & Rise of the Robots - BHFO3 Builder]

I voted a couple days ago and forgot to mention it XD

[PRC425 - The Great Track 8 (Zork 1)]

I've casted my vote. Glory to the Underground Empire!

[PRC426 - Mega Man Finds His Way to PRC Again (Mega Man X5)]

I check, yeh you're right on both points! MMX5 is on playstation.

[Hard Wired Island]

Impressive tracks, a real eclectic collection with delightful retro charm. Nice work. I've not heard of a Tabletop RPG getting a soundtrack, now my interest is piqued.

[Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time (RESUB)]

I don't think I hear the sync issue either. Taking time away from a project can be beneficial, so don't be afraid to try that. Listening to the progression of the song, I believe another slow part may be a nice effect after the last movement, like you're thinking. I'm certain you'll find the groove you're after!

[MnP 123: Double Dose: Shinobii III - Inner Darkside & Rise of the Robots - BHFO3 Builder]

I'd like to point out how much I loved this round's theme of robots and ninjas. Just saying.

[PRC425 - The Great Track 8 (Zork 1)]

Finished my entry. Power to the Zork!

[PRC425 - The Great Track 8 (Zork 1)]

I was gonna say you worked fast, but then I realized there's only 3 days left in the round! I gotta pick up the pace on my own entry!

[PRC425 - The Great Track 8 (Zork 1)]

I think it's in Z flat minor.... Zork jokes.

[Ftm File to Midi process: Need technical help]

I found a solution that I could use, so this post can be considered resolved! I found a work around and got the midi I was after. I used Famitracker to export the file as a NSF, then used a converter to turn that into a (pretty rough, but still useful) Midi. The converter is here: http://vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php/NSF_to_MIDI in case this helps anyone else in the future.

[PRC424 - Freedom Adventure (Turrican II)]

Great round, everyone, loved listening to everything. I appreciate the win almost as much as I appreciate the feedback. Very helpful critiques all around. Man, I should really study some orchestral compositions...

And @TheVodouQueen, the Six Million Dollar Man was my second guess! 

[PRC425 - The Great Track 8 (Zork 1)]

This gives me all sorts of ideas. Short, evocative, and full of room for variations! And all I got to go off for names is "Track 8"... Time to Zork.

[PRC424 - Freedom Adventure (Turrican II)]

Made my vote. Looking forward to seeing the results!

[Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time (RESUB)]

The vocal bits immediately captured my attention, the airy sweeping notes make an excellent atmosphere. I love the percussion assortment of sticks and gentle strikes. And what sounds like some sorta metallic toms? Almost aquatic percussion things, I dunno what they are but it creates a lovely, rippling rhythm. The plucked strings give graceful emphasis to the chords and melody. And a great cherry on top, the distant reverberating electric guitar for some variation. Man, I can never hear too many versions of this song! I'd love to see how this continues to develop. You're doing great work.

I really love your vocal samples, where do you get them? I could sure use some human elements in my arrangements.

[PRC424 - Freedom Adventure (Turrican II)]

Woot, four entries! Gonna enjoy listening to these!

[MnP 123: Double Dose: Shinobii III - Inner Darkside & Rise of the Robots - BHFO3 Builder]

That rearrangement is pretty slick. I dig it. 

[PRC424 - Freedom Adventure (Turrican II)]

Only 40 minutes left in the round!!! Anyone got something to upload!?

[MnP 123: Double Dose: Shinobii III - Inner Darkside & Rise of the Robots - BHFO3 Builder]

I finished and submitted my entry. I had a LOT of fun with these songs!

[PRC424 - Freedom Adventure (Turrican II)]

I finished my entry. FOR FREEDOM.
