[has been updated again]

(N64) - Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon - ''Zazen Town'' - Arekushisu11 has been updated again but, only by a small formating modification. Thanks Shadoninja!

Arekushisu11

Okay. Bar 16 has been edited. You did meant the left hand, right? I know it's obvious but, just want to make sure.

As for the copyright symbol... which one is the right one? Is it from the compagny who: developed, published or produced the game? Or... in some cases, is it the one of the compagny who made the music for the game? Because I'm not sure if: Konami Computer Entertainment (Osaka) (NOT ACTUALLY BEING KONAMI ITSELF) has a copyright symbol... . I DO know Konami does, without a doubt. So... which one is the right one? Or... perhaps is it simply.... © and not the symbol for Registered, Incorporated, Corporation or something like that? ...Yeah. Don't know much about those symbols, sorry. I'll try the © one.

Anyways, thanks for the information!

Alright! (N64) - Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon - ''Zazen Town'' - Arekushisu11 has been updated. Check it out if ya want! ^O^

Arekushisu11

...So, only by writing a new message or reply in my own topic, it's gonna be ''bumped'' to the front page? ...I don't think I understand. Call me a slowpoke but, really, I don't. Beside, I think I tried it that way before, without it ever working. Or perhaps was it some other way...

Arekushisu11

Really? ...Then how will other users know if I have an update if they don't search beyong the first page? When I simply update my Topic it doesn't go on the frontpage like the others. I do want other users to know if I did made an update. If there's another way, I would gladly like to hear it.

As for the link to the MUS. file, it should work now. It's not really worth downloading for now since it's unfinished but, do as you please.

Arekushisu11

Really?! I didn't know. I composed it Hiragana by Hiragana and Katanata by Katanata the best I could without actually knowing how my full name was actually spelled like. Thanks for making me notice. I admire the Japenese language very much and I wouldn't want to misspell my own name.

Furthermore, glad you like the Dark Cloud arrangement. I was planing of working on it a bit more, seeing if I could improve it in any ways because, I wanted to make sure it was as correctly formated and arranged as possible before submitting it. Can you give me any suggestions? It would be gladly appreciated.

Arekushisu11 (Gotta make sure it's spelled right this time).

Feel entirely free to comment / criticize on what should be: improved / change / re-arranged / redone / modify / or even, be put in a garbage bag, burned, then danced around while being dressed like a GIANT CHICKEN NUGGET, then be put in the trash with a shovel and finaly be re-done all over again, if it might be so. I'll gladly accept it and will try to make it suitable to all. ^_^

NEW ONE! WOOHOO!

Might be complete for now. I dunno. Don't want to work too much on it if it's to become something different than the closest arrangement from the game's original composition I can do.

[at bar 8]

Wild Guns Theme is complete! I've updated the final version. Check it out if you want and tell me if you think it's ready for submission.

Thanks for your help and for the link to the tapping website Shadoninja! It really helped me figuring out the right tempo for Carson City, which turned out to be about 171 rather than 150 O_O!. Gees.. I was pretty far from it.

Unfortunately, even though the tempo for my arrangement is the now about the same as the original, it feels kinda rushed through... and that's kinda weird. Does that mean I'll have to redo the entire left hand to make it fit the new tempo? (If you're not sure yourself, about this tempo, just try it. Start the original then, start the arrangement at bar 8 when the original gets there. If you start it at the correct moment, the two of them should play at exactly the same beat... well... for the right hand anyway.)

-Grace notes: If I can't find anybody to do it, couldn't I simply do it myself with another Music Sheet Editor program? I don't want to trouble other arrangers only for this.

-Bar 4: I took out the right hand A and it does sound better. As for the 8vb... well... I checked out tutorials and explainations about it but, I still have no clue how to use it or even make it work. So... couldn't I simply write 8vb with the text tool for the left hand? Would that be okay? Or... couldn't I do manually by just lowering each note one octave?

-Bar 20: Same as Bar 4 here.
-System: Okay. Then... is there another way you could explain what should be done? If the formatting is something very important for this particular arrangement, is there another way I could do it the way it should be done? I tried Ctrl+up/down but, it doesn't work.

Alright. So... I still need help with: Lowering the octave for the left hand with the 8vb, re-arranging the left hand if necessary, edit some of the 32nd notes into grace notes and reformatting page 2 and 3 with 4 measures per system even if I have no idea what it means.

Further advices are welcome for those who wish to help me out! I would greatly appreciate it!

Have an awesome day!

As the site's (kind of)official Dark Cloud series enthusiast, your Shipwreck arrangement has my:
SEAL OF APPROVAL!

Thanks! Although, I would still like to have others advices before submitting it. Only to make sure that if something could be modified, improved or re-arranged about it, that I would do so before I can estimate it being an accomplished arrangement.

Arekushisu11

Okay! I've removed my post in the 5 songs update thread because I don't want to submit
un-accomplished arrangements. I'll wait for your response to try and make them the best they can.

Furthermore, if you didn't say anything on (PS2) - Dark Cloud - ''Dark Cloud - Shipwreck'', does that mean this one's okay and ready to be submitted? I'm not confident in my arranger's skills enough to judge if it should be worked on more.

Anyways, thanks again for your help!

Arekushisu11

Now, for (SNES) - Wild Guns - ''Wild Guns - Carson City'', here's what's been done:

-Bar 2: Corrected, I think...
-Bar 4: So... shall I change them both for the same note? Both being A or even... the same A? That's what I did and it sounds... like the exact same note. Otherwise, would you suggest something else?

-Optional suggestion: You do this with the 8av tool right? Or something like that? How do you use it?

-Bar 20: Corrected. Yes... indeed but, I though it was okay since I've seen similar chords in other partition but, if you don't have extremely long fingers well... yeah, that's pretty impossible I guess. ^w^'
As for the E in the left hand being played by the right, if I lower them by one octave, will I be able to keep them?
-Bar 21-23: Corrected, even though I feel like it has less punch than before.

-Bar 33: I know what the glissando tool is.. I just have no clue how to make it work or even how to use it correctly! That's why I choose 32nd notes to kinda replace it. Do you think you could help me out with it? As for the doted quarter and 16th, I bet I can't replace them with an half until the two 32nd haven't been change into a glissando, right? 

-Bar 36-39: Corrected.

-As for the formatting, well... my version doesn't have this page layout menu. I have Finale Notepad 2008 and I can't find it anywhere. Although, I think I can do it with the Mass Selection Tool. So... I must have 4 measures per system... what's a system in Finale Notepad? Is it the page? 4 measures per page and not more? Tell me if I understand what you're saying.

Alright. So, to sum it up, I still have trouble with:
-Bar 4
-Optional suggestion
-Bar 33
-Formatting

Thanks again for your help! Can't wait until your next response to maybe finish it once an for all.

Have an awesome day, or morning, or night, or whatever!

Arekushisu11

Alright, so... For (SNES) - Wild Guns - ''Wild Guns Theme'' here's what's been done:

-Bar 3: Corrected
-Bar 8: Corrected

-Bottom note 8th and 2 16ths: I don't quite get what you mean but, I have re-updated it here, in my topic, so you can tell me if I understood what you said correctly. I'm not too familiar with partition language. I know some of the basics and that's about it. -_-'

-Tempo: I does sounds better and more precise even if I feel it being a little bit rushed but, that's just because I'm used to the old tempo. Me to, I re-checked the original and it does sounds around 146. Thanks! Could you please write a link to that tempo tapping website in your next response? I think that it would greatly help me out figuring out the correct tempo for futur arrangements.

-Optional suggestion: ...I'm very sorry. I have quite a bit of trouble understanding you. Could you perhaps post an image example of what you mean in your next response. Like I said... I don't know much about partition language and I learn far better with visual examples. That's the kind of mind I have.

-Final impression: I'm glad it sounds good even though I'm far from being an experienced arranger! ^O^ Thanks a whole lot for your advices and opinion on this arrangement!    

@Arekushisu11,

I posted a few recommendations for your arrangements in your submissions thread.

Thanks a whole lot! ^O^

Hi! Arekushisu11 here. Nice to meet ya!

Say, have you ever considered writing a link to the original piece in your post, for those who are not familiar with your arranged composition, or even a link to the Midi file for those who do not have a program like Finale Notepad or have an earlier version and can't open some of the .MUS files?

It could save them some time searching for the original composition and the ones who are unable to open the .MUS files would at least be able to ear it in Midi format. Just a thought.

Here's a link to the original, I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZBbhw81dbg

As for criticism... well. I dunno. I dunno the piece all that well and I'm really not the best to tell you about what you might improve or modify, better leave that to more experienced arrangers cuz I'm still quite a beginner but, I can tell your piece sounds respectful to the original and is well constructed. That's pretty much all I can really say, to the best of my knowledge and experience.

I hope you'll get constructive advices from others to become an even greater arranger than you are now.

Have an awesome rest of day!
