Okay so mattgcn has asked me to do some remixes of Pokémon music, so I obliged. I've done some work on Burned Tower... there's more to do I'd say, I just thought I should post this as its my first work... just to show what I'm doing. www.freewebs.com/crystal-skies/PT_musics/CF_burnedtower.midIts surprisingly hard to make things sound un-GameBoyish when using Midi. I'll still work on it. But not right now, its late  |

Just now I've done more work on Burned Tower, and saved as Midi. I'll upload it in a second, and you can see which you prefer. Although, all I've done is made it longer... I'll have a go at Dragon's Den. You mean SS Aqua, right? (Its what you said to me before...) The new Burned Tower: www.freewebs.com/crystal-skies/PT_musics/CF_burnedtower_v2.mid |

Yeah, that's what I meant. SS Aqua. The SS Anne tune is remade in FRLG anyways!
EDIT: Wow! I love the new glocky bit during the new second half of Burned tower! This is definetely part of my midi collection! You should submit it at vgmusic!

Heh, thanks. Y'know, I started Midi work at school to begin with... part of my GCSE course... but then I used it to make tunes for a project I'm working on (slowly) in RM2K. Never thought of submitting to VGMusic... I've started work on Dragon's Den. The original is just painful. But with this I think I'm gonna mess around with some more panning... to boggle your mind  I figure Dragon's Den would be the place to have mind boggling music. EDIT: And here is Dragon's Den: www.freewebs.com/crystal-skies/PT_musics/CF_dragonsden.midI also renamed the topic to "GameBoy Remixes" as it seems that its not just about Burned Tower any more. I'm doing these quicker than I expected... it helps that GameBoy music apparently only uses four channels. But I really should do some revision or coursework so the next won't be until tomorrow I'm afraid. EDIT(again): Also, if you use these midis, be sure to loop it (er... the program that you're implementing this with does allow looping options, right?) from the end to 0:00:8.00 on both of them. |

Hate to steal your thunder but if I can be a bit of an arse, can you do me a favour and remix them a bit more? Like I threw this together in a few minutes so it's not that great but it gives you an idea about how much you can screw around with the files, don't be afraid to go beyond 4 tracks, the more the better quality usually. Btw I'm not involved in music much asides from collection right now, I used to remix but I've got too much other stuff to do now. ~DS |

Sure can, not a problem.
I've gone beyond four channels on both of those, but only for panning purposes. I'll mix them up some more... tomorrow though.

Someone do me a favour and fix the Tin Tower theme as well, one of my fav tunes and the only tune out there is the crap midi. Personal plea ^^;
Original tunes are welcome if you people are up to the challenge as well, RDSC and CF.

Oh, and I got an idea for SS Aqua if you can. For the frontal tune..Er the melody of it, try making it into a jazz piano or a trumpet, and the bass tune into a trombone. Is that possible?

Another personal plea: the Team Rocket theme... It sounds not bad (the tune itself), but it's quality is just horrid. It can be used somewhere else (like a town or what) though.

Post by CosmicFalcon on Jun 6, 2004 19:41:05 GMT
I sure can get some jazziness into the SS Aqua theme... once you send me the original Tin Tower I can do, yes. And Team Rocket theme... although, I have to prioritize. Game tunes come before personal pleas I know I said I'd do more mixing on them today, but some stuff came up... I'll get to it. Don't worry. I'll be more than happy to work on original tunes also |

Wow, the Burned Tower sounds awesome. The SS Aqua doesn't sound too bad as it is, IMO TR needs WAY more work.

Yeah, it's so GB-ish.

I dont think those are the finished tunes for TR and SS Aqua, Matt is just giving the GB version to Cosmic falcon so he can work on them |

Okay, here's my game plan over the next days or weeks or however long this takes me...
Burned Tower: More drum work, and more deviation from the melody... maybe a couple more instruments, possibly synth pads.
Dragon's Den: More panning and phasing, definitely. Maybe a wider range of instruments...
Cherrygrove: Hmm... not sure. The tune sounds like something a Steel Band would play, but Midi only has one steel pan instrument... which I think I'll use. Have some woodwind for the other parts.
Tin Tower: I'm thinking strings and ensemble, lots of mystical feel so probably some more use of panning and maybe phasing.
SS Aqua: Jazz band... trumpets, saxes, trombone... the lot ;D Possibly swing time, possibly some sort of 'impro' soloing somewhere.
Team Rocket: Brass instruments... maybe some synth, elec. piano or something... lead Trumpet or Trombone.
I'll be working on those but... I've got a few exams coming up. A music one this Saturday actually...
