Ya I tried to throw a little dubstep in there too because dubstep seems very ROB like to me. But ya this is very specific as the part I need some parts for drops for hit points and what not these examples will help. I will try to get an actual song to you guys with drops and everything using the advice I have been given. If you guys like it then maybe we can go from there.[COLLAPSE="hide"]Anthon that clip is amazing O_O Is that you? I'd love to include it. What tag should I use to credit?
Bees I'm listening to this now and it's awesome for a rough concept. The build-up from 0:47 - 1:05 sounds like professional work, it's interesting, it sounds great and it changes. Now I don't know all of the music-related terminology but I'll try giving some suggestions on what can be improved upon (and I hope you love getting suggestions xD)
First, If you intend on creating music a lot in the future, I suggest you watch this AMAZINGLY insightful video:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/extra-credits/2019-Videogame-Music
They bring up a good point when they say the melody is the most important part of the song, and it's the most difficult part of song-creation imo, but you nailed it a few times in your sample. The rest of my advice will be mostly about the technical aspects and whatnot.
You can use loops but just make sure the part that you loop is interesting so it doesn't get old. Also do more of what you did at 1:25, you looped the jingle twice, then a short build-up followed with the same jingle plus the drums and bass. Basically try and build upon the melodies you come up with, like "you thought it was good now, wait till you hear it with a sick beat."
The tune at 0:00 sounds really good but then it goes into that generic "DOO DOO, doo doo, DOO DOO, doo doo." and it flows really well on the first segment... but then it keeps going. To keep it interesting, I see you added a hum after it looped four times, which is the idea. But it needs a tad more than that. Maybe you were already planning to improve it in the final version so I don't have to tell you.
Back to the tune that started at 1:25, I noticed you brought it back at 2:35. For a combo video, it might be better if you keep changing the melody and not reuse ones from earlier in the song. You may have seen this CV before but they made their own music for the video as well and it kept evolving throughout, so it never got stale.

If you can, try to add lots of drops throughout the song, this is something they did in the video I linked above. All the parts where there is heavy editing (shaking camera, glowing, etc) are drops. These parts of the song would allow me as an editor to emphasize the really good combos and make the viewer say "WOW!"
Speaking of drops, I REALLY like the formula for starting a song which is: intro -> build-up -> drop. The intro would consist of a repetitive, but good tune. The build-up is when the song starts building intensity very gradually, and the drop is the climax when the song enters full swing.
Some examples:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfFnU0FUGno
intro at 0:00, build-up at 0:56, and drop at 1:07
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6K8-MYq4Z0
intro at 0:00, build-up at 0:29, "drop" at 0:45
As you can see both of these songs are very fast-paced, which makes for great CV music.
(hold your color has been used more times than I can count ._.) Personally, I'm using the second one for my next cv so I'd appreciate if everyone leaves it alone. >,>
Ok I can't think of anything else. Just remember this is all my opinion and I could be completely wrong about everything. The best thing you can do is just experiment and see what sounds good and what doesn't. I'm sure when you fully flesh it out, it'll sound 10x better.
Also, +1 for the idea of having the song transition into different genres. [/COLLAPSE]
Oh, very well. My Friend Code and Wii Number is in my profile, so that won't be a problem. You can PM me your FC/Wii#. :3I think he said he was going to Mars for the weekend, IDK.
I will get all of my Wii Info later, from then and now, we have a new Wii.
Sowwy. So I am going to need all of your info as well.
The world may never know. loland maybe send it to 8Bit... I guess? (what would you do with the footage anyway? o,0)
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^ I actually want to be one as well.Thanks ^^ Hopefully someday I can actually be a game musician for a living. Tis my dream.
Nope I got my name from a long time running joke on The Colbert Report.
For that one, just make it last until 3:32, because in a piece of footage there shouldn't be battling going on, it should just be us ****** our opponent. lolAlso some more footage from me. Will get more for you guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7asdfJngu0#t=3m22s until 3:55
I could try. The key change is intentional and since it lasts for the rest of the song it may be hard to change it all back. I could just change the part before the strings but then I will need a good bridge to transition into the epic strings part of the song. I will see what I can do. I may just use a transition with a drumroll and some climbing or falling bass sounds to get there. Hopefully I can make the changes this weekend.So what I'm asking is, (If it's not too much trouble) could you normalize the pitch (or whatever) for that part of the song and re-release it? It's up to you since you're the artist but that's just my suggestion.
Yeah, VLC opens them just fine, I just have no way of editing the clips, I'll PM you the links though.^That's fine, VLC can probably open them no problem. Do send your clips asap guys, although I'm trying to finish one project I've been working on before I start this video so it's not THAT big of a deal atm.
RAWR!!!!!lucky plz gtfo
