I spent some time going through the entirety of the music page today.. and I'm slightly worried, because most of the MIDIs are... not very good. So, what do we do? If we delete all the MIDIs we have about 15 original songs... but I can't do MIDIs, not very well at least (not more than 30 bars because I'm on a trial on my sequencer). Matt, I'll need you to help me, because we're going to have to replace the majority, or at least edit them... I want Clubby back too ..well... Okay, If you can sequence MIDI or MP3 music, apply to me or Matt. We need help with this. This post brought to you by lack of coffee and boredom - a winning combination! ~1-in-the-morning-dementia~

Basically, however good KARR was with remixing, he absolutely BLEW at original music. What we need are GOOD tunes to base on, and I can probably remix from there, or even better, Cosmic Falcon can *evilgrin*
It would be better if not ALL music was MP3, so 56k people can actually get it (Cuz music is an optional download when you get a game)

I don’t know who’s done what so I’m going through it all objectively. And SWEARWORDS! I got down to RocketBoss or whatever and FireFox crashed! AAAARGH!
SWWCS = See What We Can Salvage
MIDI REVIEW APlaceUnknown - Aaargh arpeggios. useful in moderation, relying a tune on tehm doesn’t work. Also, the tune is too thump-thump-thump. Rhythms people! AlbinosEncounterorTeamApolloEncounter - again, not enough rhythms. No key signature either, stick to a chord pattern. BattleorTenseAtmosphere - Starts off good but goes all clashy and dissonanty after a while. SWWCS BikeRouteorMachBike - fine apart from the horrible echo. Make the echo quieter and change the instrument to something that doesn’t have that vibrato dissonance.
•Subdir Buildings ArenaMusic - TR theme. Perfectly fine. Church has been remixed GoldenrodStore - AAARGH-rgh ECHOES-choes KILL!-ill! Observatory - it’s a scale. That’s pretty much it.
CaveOrWhat - scale again, but has a pentatonic underneath which clashes until it takes over the tune and goes ultrasonic. ForALargeCity - sounds like a hummingbird on a sugar rush attacking a piano, crashing, then getting high and starting again multiple times. Seems pretty random, has all sorts of dischords. HideoutUltraRemix! - nice. IceORGemstone - I remixed both of these without seeing this, but it’s random notes from an scale with no rhythm Imakuni_Freaky - This is cool. MaybeStartingTown - same pattern repeated OVER and OVER until it suddenly goes lightspeed at the end. SWWCS
•Subdir NPCrelated ADMINencounterandTHEMEETING - the bass is too loud and the instrument needs changing. Other than that, fine AdminEncounter - fine ArenaAdminBattle - Get rid of the ultrasonic bits and that instrument with clipping/falloff issues (the one that goes down a semitone or so at the end of the note) BikerEncounter - A bit random and dissonant, again no rhythms. BossBattle.mid - fine apart from the brass instruments sound a bit off.
More to come on Saturday.

It's funny, all the "good" ones are his remixes.
The boss battle is the Route 1 remix, right?

Since I can sequence MIDI now properly, albeit with buggered tempos, I'll carry on with this.
•Subdir NPCrelated DSDCencounter - Odd tempo glitches but that might be my computer. Otherwise fine, if you like MIDI overdrive guitar. DoubleTrouble.mid - fine, perhaps a change of instrument for the lead to bring it out a bit more. DoubleTrouble2.mid - Fine, fixed above problems before I mentioned them FrontierOutsideandMainandBoss - Meh, it's not original apart from one note change, and that was the rhythm, not the pitch. GMencounter - Too scary perhaps? GMs are people too... We could reuse it elsewhere. GSCRocketRocketFrontier - Just instrument changes to a Ninty original... the woodblock sounds a bit odd, and it's the only significant addition. JuniorEncounterNW - Funky, needs something I like to call a 'bassline'. MistyTheme - Nice theme, but could use work. I'll see what I can do. Also needs to go faster.
I'll edit this post later on I suppose.

Just a note, I gave a guy named Reason (or EJNorris) Access to the site, and he's currently looking over the GSC music, replacing some with his own music (Which totally rocks)
Bonzai..could you possbily record the FRLG version of the Azalea town theme (Isl 4,6), Violet (Isl 5,7) and Lake of Rage (Island routes)? The MIDI's just wont work out.

rapidshare.de/files/5760074/GSCMIDIs.zip.htmlMost of them are already at your music page, but I'll post them anyways. I don't know if he submitted the staff encounter/battle themes, though. (probably would have to put them under Platinum)

Yeah, after Clubbys abrupt depart, you've been head music person altogether for a while now.

I should be doing exam revision, but I've had too much coffee.
Now, anything in a subdir has disappeared (404ified). So unless FMy saved it all first, we've just lost most of the music. Arguably this isn't a bad thing.
Oriental.mid -good start, needs more everything. SWWCS PTtheme.mid - this- oh wait, I did this one ^^; It's the slow version though. Pagoda.mid - ode to joy on acid. It's horrible. Route 56.mid - AAARGH! Did someone let a 3 year old sequence this? RouteArrangement.mid is mine SomeCaveScarierthanMtMoon.mid - Mt Moon, but demented. Don't think we need it. Tererere.mid - where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, EVERY SINGLE OTHER MIDI BY WHOEVER DID THIS. Kill. Town.mid - Tune is ok, but there's nothing else to it, and it's not very exciting anyway. SWWCS Town1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are remixes and are all worse. dark_cave.mp3 forestlord's_theme.mp3 - both by me (forestlord being a remix of Panty's theme) morescary.mid - Again with the 3-year-old. ss-palm.mid - slightly dissonant mix of SS Anne or somnething. Not needed. tete_tete.mid - random. Not needed. theme.mp3 is now elite battle whatever.mid is mine, could be credits or something. Doesn't need to be used. zunknown.mid - scales again. Wow. Not needed, kill.
