Topic: Attn Wii Music Fans!

Dang it, the guy I ordered from just refunded me and said he couldn't find the game, haha. Way to go, guy. Oh well, I just spend the money on another game instead, so you guys better keep posting videos and working on that site. If I can't play it, I at least want to watch.

OK, I'll keep at it. I'll defo send you videos when I do make something I like. Please keep sending me stuff because I love listening to them.

@Sean Aaron: Cheers for sending me a heap load of vids! Just about to watch 'em now.

Adam keep on watching our, ehm, performances!!!

Super, I didn't realise how many I've actually made until I used up my messaging allocation! One of them is the video embedded above, but I expect watching it on telly is better than a tiny YouTube window.

Metroid Italia, I haven't forgotten your drums, but getting Tenchu and The Conduit close together plus starting to review WiiWare titles for NL have meant less time for Wii Music lately...

Finished watching them all today. Got side-tracked last night. Very good sir. They've inspired me to get stuck in again.
Also, the balance board is great for drumming. I didn't expect it to be so much fun.

I haven't played the game in like a week because my cousins have spent the week at my house and, unfortunatly, the don't like Wii Music. I suspect they also dislike candy, sunshine, and all other wonderful things. Anyway, I'll have to get back on the ball with creating videos and stuff. And metroid, I'll send you my Mii. I forget, have I sent you any vids?

Sean: don't worry, take all the time you need

later, i'll send some videos to all. don't be scared eh eh

I've made a couple videos yesterday and today and sent them to all. I don't think any of them are my best work, but they're solid, and certainly not bad (at least I don't think they're bad)
The Material Girl one is probably the best of my most recent bunch, and I like the concept of my Wii Music Theme video; just not sure I nailed the execution.

Oh and interesting stuff Metroid It's all good, but I think with a little more polish they could be even better.

yes, i know, but i like so. I wanted to create music with dirt sound.

That Wii Music theme had some great piano work, Kid_A -- and Carmen works surprisingly well in that style of arrangement you sent, Metroid.

I made and sent out one today that is... uncharacteristically mellow, I guess. Maybe inspired more by Chicken's super laid back jams. I had actually started up Turkey in the Straw hoping to use that drum part from Metroid, and ended up just making something completely different, but I still plan to give those drums another shot later sometime.

Oh, well then keep it up
Hope that didn't sound insulting. If you want that kind of sound, then you really are doing a good job

Alright, I listened to Wariowoods new song. Brilliant as always. I made a pretty cool song today...I THINK it's I'll Be There, but it might not be. Anyways, it turned out pretty good. Better than my last few, I'd say.

I'll Be There was quite nice. Two things in particular that I liked: You're always very effective at using the single-notes / arpeggios in the chord slot, something that isn't as easy as it seems, since each song has its own standard pattern built-in that it repeats. I often try it out and can't make it sound the way I want, but you always seem to find so many alternate patterns in there (usually on piano, but banjo this time!) by choosing just the right beats, and it works out very well. I also loved the cello playing, nice control of volume and touch, which is what the string instruments in this game are all about.

Kid a, don't worry it's ok, it's something i know.

Thanks! I've found that using the single notes while playing the chord part is a good way to create an original-sounding song. I used the banjo because I've actually been listening to some banjo music. Bukowski from Modest Mouse, specifically. Plus, I had never played I'll be There before, so I'd thought I'd try something new.

Oh, and did I send you "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"? That one turned out pretty good. Really jazzy.

Ok I've sent the finished version of my September video to some of you. Ignore my deleted post if you saw it, I'm feeling better about this tune now.
@Kid_A: That Swan Lake video was class! Loved it!

I don't think I have your Wake Me Up video, Kid A, so you should correct that sometime. I reached 100 videos again recently and didn't realize it at first, as it doesn't warn you--I'd recommend checking anyone thinks they might be close. I had to just run through and delete a lot of the older videos I'd received from others, even though I like keeping some of the best of those when possible. The thing is, when you get another video past 100, it will just delete your currently lowest rated video without telling you; since I only rate my own (I don't see the point in rating videos by others, who won't see the score anyway), it meant that one or two of mine went missing before I noticed; thankfully they were just terrible videos that friends made while visiting, and that I'd probably rated 0. I've made some decent ones with friends, mind you, but as Chicken once noted, the first run through with new players is usually pretty awful.

Outrunner -- I liked that one, and in particular I thought that the use of the clarinet was perfect. Sometimes one instrument will bring together the whole sound like that, filling in a space left by the others (in this case, all those higher pitched and plucky instruments; nice to have that mellow reed come in underneath).

100 videos at the beginning seemed to be a reasonable number, but now, i have proceded eliminating some videos and it's always a terrible choice!

I've been out of town for a few days so I haven't made any new videos. I'll get back on it. (I've been a bit busy game-wise because I just unlocked the super secret last character on Punch-Out and I've been trying to beat him).
