Crashing into a Wall

Manmademusic · 10-29-2007, 08:15 PM

Can anyone guess why this won't make it into FFR?

Title: Crashing into a Wall
BPM: 140
Genre: Techno
Length: 4:30

Because its too long?

Really cool song, I'm gonna try to step it next time I have time.

Manmademusic · 10-29-2007, 08:20 PM

20 points to Xander. What those points are, I have NO idea.

Mitchtyler · 10-29-2007, 08:21 PM

BPM's too slow for my liking.

Manmademusic · 10-29-2007, 08:29 PM

Well, it's perfect for me.

**rshadow8888** · 10-29-2007, 09:21 PM

Decent song, it could be a decent stepfile even for the length if the song was faster and had more to it.

**stargroup100** · 10-29-2007, 09:33 PM

The song doesn't need to be faster. It's fine the way it is.

Also, the song is okay. It has a video game feel to it, which I really like.

If you just want it for the song, it's great the way it is. However, the majority of the FFR population seems to complain about long and easy stepfiles, which this song would probably end up being.

If you want to try to make it into a long yet challenging file go right ahead.

>< shall I just cut the song in half in Audacity and call it good?

No, don't do that, it would ruin the song. I would say yes if this was just the same beat repeating over and over, but there are a bunch of beat changes to keep the song original and interesting.

I mean, after listening to it a couple more times, I guess it is possible to make a decent file out of this... it just is going to be hard to do it without overstepping it.

Manmademusic · 10-29-2007, 10:02 PM

True, true... Maybe try stepping different parts of the song at different times? Like doing the synth at one point, and then doing the drum riffs at another (lots of drum riffs in this one, hopefully that might make a difference)?

That actually sounds reasonable.

Doing that would avoid this from being another Song for the Nihojins (or h/o you spell it)
Using the drum riffs could put this into the challenging range.

**stargroup100** · 10-29-2007, 10:15 PM

Just use/layer different voices. There are like a million things going on in the music at the same time, so it's really not too hard to do something with it.

If you guys think the song is too long cut it. Duh.

EDIT: Cut implies cut it in the right place.

Manmademusic · 10-30-2007, 05:21 PM

But again, that could ruin the songs completely if it isn't cut at the right time, and I'm not seeing any point in the songs aside from the end where it could be cut and still sound good. (finally, 300 posts. Another 2 years before I make 1000 XD)

Just keep the song as is, and we can get someone experienced to step it. Sulfer seems to enjoy stepping your stuff, if I remember right.

**gnr61** · 10-30-2007, 09:52 PM

If you cut it at 2:17 and find me that gap with audacity or CEP or something (since there's practically no mac software and i hate doing it by ear) I will make a damn good SM file out of this song. The layering would make it perfect. lots of hands, lots of jumps, lots of fun

unfortunately on FFR it could be nothing much more than 8th jumps and occasional bursts

Me too

I just need more time to step... and maybe more of a desire to step...

That, and you need to make some super-fast, hardcore songs Manmademusic... I like the style of all of your regular music, but only a bit will be decent for stepping (this perhaps, Ancient's Death [which Sulfer and I both stepped :-/], Orcha... and maybe shockvolt)..

**stargroup100** · 10-31-2007, 12:03 AM

Not all music has to be for stepping. Manmademusic, you don't have to listen to their advice. Make music the way you want to make it.

QFE.

This is a really good song! It's fun to listen to, even without hitting arrows.

5/5. :P

I won't go into the debate if this would be nice on FFR or not, but besides that great song man!

I opened the newgrounds page and started surfing on internet, I kinda forgot it looping there but it didn't annoy me once

Sort of Sonic the Hedgehog feeling to it, not sure what sonic level it reminds me of but it just has that vibe for me.
