Title: New MIDI, so REPLY this TIME.
Post by: Flippy_D on Fri 11/02/2005 18:50:38
Here it is. (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/POTION.MID)

I personally like the guitar alot. I have no idea what I could use it for, mind.

My last MIDI post went practically unnoticed. Sure, I don't have the rep that m0ds does (thoroughly well-earned, too, don't get me wrong), but having people listen to something 5 damn kilobytes large and making a comment on it is surely not asking the world.

I like it a lot. It sounds a lot like Gabriel Knight music. What's this music for? It would be appropriate as background music in an ethnic setting.

I like the music, but since i don't know anything about music making i didn't replied to that other topic, but i heard that one aswell and i liked that one aswell. Keep up the good work!

I REALLY agree sluggo, definite ethnic setting. I dont know why but it reminds me of some "age of empires" music. wonderful sound. a slightly tense piece. use it maybe in some kind of unknown danger, suspishion. scene

Nice midi, here are some suggestions:
-tone down the drum volume a bit,
-I'm not sure what software you used, but if there is some sort of drum kit selection i suggest you to use drum kit 16, at least try different drumkits to see which one fits you best,
-add some more variation to the percussions, instead of creating one beat, and then adding things to it.

I must admit that's one helluva good piece. I try to compose MIDIs myself, but they are based on random note combinations, and they rarely get longer than 0:30 and 2 instruments.

Thanks, Dreban :)

Damien: Ehh... cakewalk v.3, 1992. No drum kit selection for Flippeh :3

I totally agree to the others. Really nice.

There is just one thing I would change: this "woo"- sound drum beat thingy (hope you'll get what I mean) gets kind of nerve-wracking very quickly imo. Maybe don't use it this often.

Other than that, great piece of music.

Jesus Christ, I just did the most retarded thing ever. I spent ten minutes trying to figure out why I couldn't hear the MIDI playing, I checked my MIDI settings, turned up the volume, restarted the PC, checked the cables going in and out of my sound system...

...And then realized the reason I heard nothing was because I was listening to my MP3 Player on full blast with earphones on.

Nice midi. Definitely worth the hassle. Seems to suit a kind of map or something... city overview perhaps?

You remain a beacon of hope in the darkness, Yufster.

I thank you.

yeah, that honking-sound is just annoying. Apart from that, it's quite good; a bit bland but still good.

And please don't go demanding that people answer to your threads...if they find it good enough to reply to, they will

'Tis true. However, my last one was simply... ignored. I think it got something like 50 views  :-\

However, lots of feedback this time, so yay :)

You got one reply to your last midi and this reply expressed exactly what was to say about your music piece, that's why I didn't post...

EDIT: And it got 250 views not 50... No reason to feel unimportant...
