For song 1 + 3 it shows up as something else but it should save as NSM theme song, etc. MP3 file
for song 2 for some reason it loads really slowly
and for song 2 if you want to keep it ur going to have to open it by right clicking and clicking save target as... and click save b/c if you press start download it would pop up as quicktime
thanks
if you have technical difficulties tell me!
Whoops. Not supposed to say what we voted for.
its ok
you can say after i lock the poll on April 26
You should have it as a requirement to listen to the whole song or people will just listen to the first 5 seconds and stop it.
By the way, the reason Song 2 is slow is because someone made it a wav file.
Its just my opinion, but all these songs are pretty boring and bland. They don't seem very exciting for the most part, and the sound quality is meh.
I have to agree with gamer. One of them was ok, but it's not what I expected. It's not even worth transcribing to be played on the piano. You just don't feel "liven" up. Although it was worth a try I guess. Needs more complexity.
Go get a life, like you guys ever composed something that is orchestrated.
Akiro, stop being a moron. It's my personal opinion, and apparently some other guys think so as well. You're only saying this because you've decided that you hate me and will insult everything I say. Also, I actually HAVE composed a few songs with Garageband at school, so boo sucks to you.
Song two doesn't work on my comp. I can hear three tones and that's it.
Well they are pretty good and if I composed them I would be pretty proud of myself (since I've never composed anything) but I can't really see how anything would fit as a theme song.
I don't really see how a site can have a theme song..

Exactly my thoughts Harvest.
Akiro it's called constructive criticism. Trust me, they'll be saying the exact samething at Ichigos.com so your argument fails. Ok I'll explain it constructively ichigo style.
Anyways, looks like #1 is losing. We all know why, no need to explain. Tips from ichigos for you (http://forums.ichigos.com/showpost.php?p=367514&postcount=2)
#2 and 3 are on par. I like #2 but the ending is incomplete (it's the harp), but you get a point for keeping it happy sounding as it represents NSM.
#3 does NOT fit in with the theme of NSM at all. The intro is what people will be first hearing and will be judging. I don't like it because it sounds melancholy. After that I'm like ok it's making some progress... but all of a sudden it plays loud and depressing around 00:42. Sirus said it could be anything. I disagree, NSM is suppose to be upbeat and active. Take a look at vgmusic's theme song jingle. It's perfect for their theme. It starts out happy and brilliant and people will guess vgmusic IS happy and brilliant.
The WORST mistake for #1. The Mario Theme. I see controversies and disputes down the road. *This theme song is property of NSM" Huh!? what's Mario doing in there then? You should say property of NSM and Nintendo instead! However it doesn't feel right to incorporate another company's brand into your own theme song. You want it to be unique and be the property of your site, not some other companies with it. Plus you need permission to use it in your theme song as well.
The music tells a scene, it does not tell you so you cannot compose whatever you like. If it's a battle theme, then make it a battle theme. If it's an NSM theme, then make it an NSM theme, by now you should know what NSM is like. If NSM were to be jazzy, then make it jazzy, but it isn't jazzy so jazz isn't a good idea. You are not writing for yourself, you are writing for NSM. NSM is not depressed or full of haters which #3 is conveying. You do not want the public to think that way as their first guess when they hear it.
Please think wisely before voting. Do not vote because it sounds great. Vote for the one that SHOULD match with NSM's theme. It has to be memorable also.
QFT!
Enough said.

Garageband rules! yay Apple!
Where's the Mario Theme in #3? :P
I meant #1 XD *fixed*
honestly, i just chose the best one...not the one that best suits NSM because none of them do!

i never said anything
it can be minor but not too sad
also
the sound quality is horrible b/c mediafire is messing up on its uploads for me for some reason
garageband = orchestration?
You must have some strange kind of logic
I don't need a whole giant post telling me why I fail vgmfreak
Quote from: Akiro on April 23, 2008, 06:25:56 AMGo get a life, like you guys ever composed something that is orchestrated.
That whole post was not directed at you unless you were one of the composer. I'm only giving constructive criticism towards the people who composed it. As for the quote above, that is a weak argument. If I cannot give constructive criticism (as I did with that long post) then I shouldn't be judging them in the first place. Gamer says they don't have any excitement in them. Does that mean he has bad taste? No. I even went far to elaborate my points with what needs to be improved (and that is a good thing) since my previous post before that was weak. Telling others to get a life and assuming they can't compose makes you look stupid. Ichigos.com has the best reviewers imo. Lots of constructive criticism and no one argues. If they tell you it's lacking what're you gonna do? tell them to get a life?
Instead of saying that, tell us what's good about them as counter-arguments and I'll be happy to accept it. Be truthful about it. Don't give everything a 10/10 because of peer pressure forcing you to.
Akiro: You obviously didn't read the post, he only mentioned you in the first sentence or 2. And apparently you've never used Garageband, as it CAN make an orchestrated theme, unless you mean something else.

Just reread the rules. sorry about that. You stated it in rule #3. Good, though doesn't seem like some of them are complying with that rule. It just doesn't sound NSM-ish to me. #2 sounds good enough though.
It's actually difficult for a piece to be not sad when it's in minor :D Stick with major to save yourselves the trouble ;)
I don't know if that is either the truth or an excuse. Do file hosting services really strip files down? That can't be right or else they'd go bankrupt and have to close down because of competition (always go with the best hosting site). If it's streamed however, that can be a little different than saving the files itself. Mediafire must hate you then :D or your computer. Try other sites if it helps.

Well minor also can mean dark, and it is much of the time.
@vgmfreak
not always
media is actually pretty good most of the times especially MUS files
however for some reason lately, the sound quality is getting worse
i think its b/c it is uploading as a quick time MP3
why? im not so sure..
also i think ur right
i should have said major so it would "fit" NSM :D
but who cares now its up XD
none of them really sound like a theme song anyway. when i think theme song, i think something catchy or something that gets stuck in your head. like "du-na du-na du-na du-na BATMAN!"
Can I still enter? Please!
They all remind me of either elevator or hold music ::)

yeah, kinda.
okay ill post a separate poll then for late comers
send them to me by May 2
but these will be judged separate from these three
I'll be entering too. But my theme sounds...realy :o & ::) and also ;D but That's my opinion (and it sounds DANG AWSOME!) so heck lets just make the poll right now!
CRAP
i forgot to lock voting!
ALSO
the last minute, dont want to be voted on "entries" will be posted
the winner is Blah54 by the way people...
CONGRATULATIONS!
GO BLAH! YAY! I DON'T THINK THAT I VOTED FOR YOU, BUT WHO CARES? YEAH!!!! :P
YAY FOR REVIVALS!
We still don't have a theme song. Blah54's composition won, so we should use it. As soon as we get the site back up and running, we should install this.
What the hell is the use in a theme song?
There's really no use, but as we already have one written, I'd be cool and would require minimal effort.
Is it really necessary for NSM to have a theme song?
No, and I suggest we stop it.
But that's me ::)
it isn't necessary... i suggest we leave this subject alone until the site is back until normal, then if enough people want it, consider the possibility of a "theme song" again... but for now, just leave it.
Agreed.
Agreed.
(AND MY 400th POST. YEAAAAAH :D :D)
Fine...
