Song of the week - Genesis One

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Song of the week - Genesis One

This song uses waaaay too many FL default stuff. The background drum loop is one I've heard before. (Like, Elements or something.) And I SWEAR the arp-ish thing that comes in a bit after the song starts, I've heard the EXACT SAME THING in a different song..maybe even in one of the FLS "Cool Songs" folder. But who knows.

Great steps, though. 5 goods first try.

This sounds A LOT like Toby Emerson's "Striker" which is found in the Cool Stuff folder of FL 4 and above. Funny how the author is the same name.

EDIT: I seriously hope that adding a minor synth line, changing bass and tempo is not considered an original remix. Even the same transitional effects are in there.

Haha sleeplessdragn, I was just about to say the EXACT same thing, cuz I have been messing around in Fruity Loops and found that same song, but u beat me too it :P .

I really liked the original song.. the new stuff just makes it sound really cluttered... but it's a good stepfile...

[Draigun]

That's it..I knew I had heard it somewhere in the FL Cool Stuff folder..

This was brought to my attention a day after it was released and I didn't have time to deal with it until now, but hopefully it will get all cleared up. Poor Toby, people keep ripping off his stuff. :\

[blargherness]

i bought it...now its gone. not in shop and not in purchased section. explanation?

[sleeplessdragn]

Explanation: someone stole a song from FL4 and submitted it as their own. It is true that a minor synth line, bass, and a tempo changed were added, but it was clear that the piece was not original. Copyright issues ensued, and now the song is no longer playable.

In other words, 1,000 credits gone byebye. :<

[c117]

...Poop. Are those credits ever gonna be reimbursed? I mean, to me 1000 credits isn't the end of the world, but it is inconvenient :/

[User6773]

Okay. Better explanation time.

The song hasn't been removed entirely, it's now just invisible and unplayable to everyone except game admins while Spook gets this cleared out with Toby. If he (Toby) is cool with letting us use the song, it gets made visible again and you won't have to repurchase it if you already did. Chances are we'll give the proper credit where credit is due, though - which means the song probably won't be called "Genesis One" anymore.

If Toby doesn't let us use the song (or waits too long to respond), we'll remove it permanently. I'll bug LD to do a batch database operation to refund your credits if that happens.

I'm curious as to who tried to get away with submitting this song as their own?

Wait, so he even kept the same title, Striker, instead of Genesis One as you guys have put down?
