    Pokemon... again... Hopefully it sucks less than last time..

    I finally decided to open the flp up and edit it some. I think I got an excellent instrument set on it now. Let me know what would make it better.

    Big ups to mp3unsigned for hosting all my mp3s.

    PS in case you guys don't realize, this is a remix of the battle theme from the original pokemon games on gameboy.

      1. stereo spectrum filling problem: you need a bassline and more highs. Open up fruity spectroman and try to fill every frequency, with a moderate emphasis on the lower frequenceys.
      2. Add in a few countermelodies of your own. As it is now, it is basically the original on worse synths and with quiet drums.
      3. Your lead synth needs some work, Id suggest less of that "wah" sound (I think its resonance, could be something else) and perhaps put some subtle filter sweeps on it.
      4. Everything is very staccato, add some pads and tweak your envelopes.
      5. Add octaves and chords to stuff, to give this a bit more of a looming feel, as it is now we have a pretty suspenseful melody with no real support.

          Yea too much 'wah'- that's definetely a reso problem.
          Pretty bland though, needs better synths and stuff. I'll work on the flp if you want =).

              I liked that wah type of sound, but if you all don't I'll remove it. Also, I know I still need to fiddle with the levels on some things.

              And about the making original counter melodies: I don't really want it to be too original. I want it to be more like a better version of the original, not an original in itself. Do you know what I mean?

                  Some of that jargon I didn't understand, so I KNOW Afrobean doesn't completely know what you're saying. We're both such newbs XD
                  So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

                  In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

                  So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
                  And I write the blog for their website.

                  Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

                      fill up that spectrum, as the lower end is definitely lacking. probably a level problem on your bass. and if you dont want to add a counter melody i would suggest adding some form of long tone is the background, to help fill in the empty spaces that the melody is leaving with the "wah" noise. or you could try to create a leading synth that doesnt sound so much like, um, a gameboy? that might help it sound more original.

                          Didn't like the "wah" sound much. Need to change some stuff around.

                                      have you tried using vst or dxi synth plugins? try rgcaudio.com and try the free triangle 2
                                      ull like the results
                                      I say what I mean and i mean what i say.
