I have awesome sound fonts for bass instruments, and for a few other instruments as well, such as guitars. :3 I also managed to find some sound fonts of the instruments they used in the first three Mega Man X games. I'd show you an example, but this is your music thread, not mine. xD; Aaanyway, do you have a MIDI version of the Zero Tribute? ^^ If so, that would assist me a lot in making a bass track. Ooh, sounds cool. Are the fonts, like, copyrighted, though, or are they pretty generic? XD I don't, but I could probably make one no problem. Well... little problem. Can MIDIs change tempo mid-song? >_>

Not to mention, the guitar and brass instruments are gorgeous. <3 "FluidR3 GM" is another good choice as far as full MIDI replacements go. As for bass... if you don't mind having artifical bass, "PV_SynBass1" has some nice BOOM to it. The Mega Man X soundfonts are a little trickier to find, but they're pretty neat to play around with. x3

Well, it took like three and a half hours, (urgh, Garageband needs an export to MIDI function,) but HERE IT IS. MIDI version of Tribute to Zero! amysgames.sytes.net/misc/music/TributeToZero.midI'm not sure if the tempo works right, 'cause I had to do some trickery to get it to work at all. I think it depends on the program it's being played in. >_> ...But it's supposed to be set to 160 and change to 110 at the end.

I anticipate it with great eagerness, Strife. <3 ANYWAY one of those other things I learned to make a habit of thanks to the PW Musical was storyboarding things. Since the basic idea for the Niji intro's been kicking around in my head for about a year now, I figured I'd go ahead and do that. What do you mean this is technically visuals? It has music in it, too! >_> ...Music I stole from my old CofC karaoke. But still music!Some of those things I doodled might make sense to no one else but me and I realize that. Also, I can't decide what to do for the beginning and end for some reason. <_<; ...Everything plays through my head super-vividly except those two parts. Go fig. (You may suggest things if you want, but I dunno why you would.) Really need to get into the habit of drawing those villains more often hurr hurr.

I haven't forgotten about the Zero remix. xD;
Anyway, I think you're right - it does sound better in Japanese. If I may make a suggestion, though, I'd recommend lowering the volume of your voice, since it currently overpowers all of the instruments.
Also, I think it would be worth it to experiment a little with an echo track. ^^ What you'd do, basically, is create a duplicate of your voice in the song, but offset it by an eighth/quarter/whatever note and cut the volume down by at least half while panning it to either the left or right speaker. Sometimes it adds to the atmosphere of a song, especially with softer melodies, if it's done correctly.

XD; But then I guess hearing the instrumentals is important, too... hm. I don't think I have the raw vocals for those ones anymore, but I'll keep that in mind next time. And yeah, I've been thinking of experimenting with echoes for a while now, but I've been too lazy to try it, especially since those were prettymuch just thrown together for fun. I should try and experiment, though, since I'll likely be messing with effects whenever I get recordings from the actual singers. EDIT: o wait I figured out a way to make them better! Try 'em now. EDIT2: Hmm, now that I listen to it again, that may have caused a slight echo in the accompaniments. Ah well, at least it sounds kinda cool.

I repost this song so much but here it is again amysgames.sytes.net/misc/music/CofC_demo.mp3My old one was annoying me with its complete lack of energy. XD Namely the lines that were supposed to be shouted that I was too nervous to do the first time. Also, I decided to mess around with the vocal effects a bit. Tell me if you like it or if it just sounds weird?

So in a fit of "I'VE GOT TO HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE IN THERE SOMEWHERE" a while back, I ended up recording a bunch of random things. Like, a bunch of random things. Think Like a Dream in an opera voice type random. (Which unfortunately I didn't save, sorry. XD) But anyway, one of the things I ended up doing—since it was Sunday and all—was an a cappella recording of one of my more favorite hymns. Considering it was a cappella and I hadn't pitch-corrected it at all, I decided it sounded pretty good. So uh, here it is if you guys want to hear more of my singing voice. It's a hymn, of course, so sorry to you non-religious types out there. amysgames.sytes.net/misc/music/IKnowThatMyRedeemerLives.mp3I'm pretty sure the singing voice I use in choir is even better than this but I'm still working on getting it out in front of a microphone so.

I can tell that you feel a lot more comfortable in that one, compared to your previous vocal recordings. Keep going with it! ^_^

Probably because I knew I had a bunch of time home alone rather than worrying about someone walking in. XD Hurr hurr self-conscious me.

Hey look, I made a song! amysgames.sytes.net/misc/music/ThisIsWhoIAm.mp3...or the chorus of one, anyway. XD I dunno, I kinda felt like recording that. I kinda had Turnabout Inn in mind when writing it, and I kinda think it could work as sort of a theme song for it, since it can fit a lot of people if tweaked properly. aaand speaking of T. Inn I kinda just threw this together just now and I don't know how but here it is If you want lyrics for either of these, just ask.
