but ;_; i need help to arrange music and i stink at it
We've got the help part covered, you can cover the stink part by practicing. There's only one way to arrange music, and that's to arrange it. xP
^This. So much. also love the way you worded it.
fine then, you guys help me arrange this song
Sure, what do you need help with?
...everything? I'm still new to arranging. I don't know how to identify key signatures or notes or anything. Really.
Well, this song is probably a bit hard to start off with.
Anyways, I think I've figured out the first 5 seconds or so, so I'll go through with what I did:
I listened to the song and played a random note on the piano. I then asked myself "is this note higher or lower than the first note of the song (the top note of the chord.)" I adjusted the note in the right direction then kept asking that question until I found the first note. From there, I just kinda listened to whats it was doing, was it stepping, skipping, or jumping? (Exact intervals don't matter unless you have a really good ear.) Once I decided which, I just did trial and error with the different intervals it could be based on those categories (the more you arrange music, the more accurate your first guess is till you can just walk up to a piano and play the melody.)
I wouldn't worry about chords yet, but I just tried out different consonant chord qualities with the first note as the top note until one sounds right. If you can judge whether it's major or minor (pretty easy, but sometimes it can surprise you) it really narrows down your options.
For the time signature, just tap your foot to the song, and try to hear where the measures start and end. I kinda suck in this area, so I'm afraid to give too much advice.
Also, never give up! If you get completely stuck on something, go to any means necessary (even if it's a midi) to figure it out. Once you learn what's actually going on, you'll usually go "Oh, I never considered that" and then you'll consider it next time.
Fire beat me to it. Yeah, Nebbles, if you need any more help, feel free to pm me today and I'll do what I can.
What TZP said, PM me if you want. I'd even be willing to help you on skype if you think it'll help any.
I personally believe everyone has the ability to learn to arrange music, and I'm gonna make it my personal goal to make sure you learn.
Helping over skype would be nice...
I'll PM you my skype, but actually finding time where I can do it without my parents noticing is gonna be difficult.
^lolwut? Why can't they see?
In their minds, talking to people on the internet = losing your social security number and getting raped. :P
pretty much

I'm not sure how useful it'd be in finland anyways. ::)

They do, but they think it's all forum based (I have to get permission to do anything else, which I don't bother with because even if they do say yes, it takes them a month to "think about it.")
^xD
Well, since I might be awhile, in the meantime, did you figure anything out yet nebbles?
Uh... no... ._. This is kinda why I requested it, I had another song in mind I wanted to arrange so I was hoping someone would do this...

Oh, well, I already figured some of it out becuase I thought you wanted to learn to do this yourself. XD I guess since I'm already started, I'll put it on my to-do list.
yay! thank you~

Yes, but it's also two and a half years old. It wasn't really clogging up the Request board by being in the wrong place.
I like things to be organized...It's a curse...

Same lol that's why I'm the janitor here. Most of the time I don't know when requests are finished with the way things are currently set up unless someone posts specifically in its thread (mostly the arranger notifying the requester they've completed it)
wow 2013 nebbles sounds a lot like blook
That's not weird at all....maybe a little...
