Request / Re: [NES] Circus Charlie - "Stage 1"

« on: April 15, 2021, 03:39:56 PM »

It's been a hot minute since I arranged on request. Sorry this took so long, I had to go to a class shortly after I accepted this.

Some notes about it:

- to my understanding, this song is exclusive to the NES port—it's nowhere to be found in the arcade original. So I have explicitly marked it as "Circus Charlie (NES)" under the sheet's title
- I tried my best to keep the articulations consistent between hands, so the bouncy staccatos heard in the bass were given staccato'd melody notes to match
- as you can see, this stage theme is based on "American Patrol" by F. W. Meacham, but I couldn't find who arranged it for the game. If this information is important to you, I'll continue looking, but documentation for titles this obscure is sparse

So here ya go, I hope you enjoy playing this sheet! (Maybe make a recording so we can add it to an NSM Performance Videos playlist? )

I'll take this on. It's a simple piece that should yield a pretty simple sheet.

Since I'm a filthy casual, I only have one main: Mega Man. But I went ahead and added Kirby and Mr. Game & Watch to my ballot, since I've spent some time using them, too.

Thread bump time

I updated Koopa Troopa Beach to bring it up to a decent standard.

Ooh, that's a good sheet right there. I gotta say, I like the left hand pattern better than what we've got on the site at the moment.

While I'm honored to have two extreme versions of my sheets, at the same time, I kinda feel threatened...

Seriously though, this is the best idea for an April Fool's event we've ever had! Kudos to everyone involved!

« on: March 25, 2021, 12:13:30 AM »

Oh man, my ears do not like this soundfont ><

Just a couple of things I noticed while passing through:
- The indeterminate pitch noteheads you wrote in in m. 13-16 sound more to me like E's rather than B's.
- I don't think the use of the small noteheads for the E#s in m. 17 is clear. As Libera mentioned above it's unclear at a glance how these are different from the rest of the small noteheads you have for the percussive effect. Another thought, is the intention for large-handed people to play all three notes or omit the middle one? If the former, adding the upper E# makes it even more awkward to play. If the latter, that doesn't seem to be implied from what you wrote. My simplifying recommendation would be to just remove the lower E#s altogether.
- The DC's a bit far to the right.

(Small aside, I typically see "bassline" rather than "bass line".)

Did all of this!

Submissions / Re: [NES] Niji No Silkroad - "Track 8" by Jacopo Tore & JacopoDog

« on: March 05, 2021, 06:04:17 PM »

It is a problem that I upload some arrangements with my students?
They work hard for music and for this site, they are accumulating transcriptions which is important for their self-esteem to be uploaded to this site, so they can work on other scores continuously.

This wouldn't be a problem if they uploaded their scores by themselves, but from the way I understand it, your country's laws would not permit this.

You need to keep in mind that the staff that processes the arrangements works just as hard as your students, if not harder. I'd venture to say you're demanding more effort out of people like Latios when you ask them to find proper titles for songs that you don't know the context of. Why should it be their job? The issue isn't that this music is exceptionally obscure, it's the fact that you cherry-pick these tracks from Zophar's Domain because they're obscure. Why is that? Can you not rely on your students' integrity? Please explain this.

The motivation behind these sheets is certainly unconventional, but if I had any say in it, I'd decide that if you want to call these "joint arrangements", you need to put more effort into finding where these songs originate from. For the very last time, this is not NSM's job, and to assume otherwise is taking advantage of a volunteer-based staff.

Aside from this, I have no issue with you submitting up to four sheets at once, as long as they're your pupils'.

Feedback / Re: Link's Awakening Composer Crediting

« on: February 28, 2021, 11:41:25 PM »

If we were to assume songs like "Ballad of the Wind Fish" and the Dungeon motif were composed by one person each, shouldn't those composers receive credit for all subsequent remixes that used their originals as bases for "new" material?

Forum Games / Re: The NSM Guess-That-Melody Quiz!

« on: February 28, 2021, 12:11:23 AM »

Welcome back, everyone, to...

The NSM PrettyFrequently Guess-That-Melody Quiz!

Once again, we had a pretty great turnout on this quiz! And unlike last time, our quizzers managed to recognize every single melody -- that's what I call a success. So without further ado, here are the answers!

The Answers

Normal Section

Melody #1

1. [WiiU] Yoshi's Woolly World - "Yarn Yoshi Takes Shape!"

Timestamp: 0:27

[8:46 PM] ShyYoshiGuy: I’ve literally arranged #1

This theme was used in most of this game's trailers, so even if you haven't played this game, you've most likely heard this song. And what a fun one it is, too. Totaka's so good at what he does.

Melody #2

2. [GB] Metroid II: Return of Samus - "Ancient Chozo Ruins"

Timestamp: 0:00

[9:32 PM] Dudeman: #2: Wow, this one's quirky. The weird jumps at the end sound familiar. Gives me GB Zelda vibes.

He was on the right track!

... hrmm. Two correct guesses. Well, that's better than that of my last Metroid melody.

Melody #3

3. [PS2] Final Fantasy X - "To Zanarkand"

Timestamp: 0:09

I need to apologize for this one; I forgot to add an 8va, so my transcription is an octave lower than it needs to be. Sorry about that!

Guessed by: Latios212, Beenya

Melody #4

4. [NES] Mega Man 2 - "Air Man Stage"

Timestamp: 0:38

[9:32 PM] Dudeman: #4: NANKAI YATTEMO NANKAI YATTEMO AIRMAN GA TAO-SE-NA-I YOOOOOOOOO

Contrary to popular belief, Air Man is not hard; on normal mode, he dies with three hits from his weakness, and takes more damage from the Mega Buster than most other bosses. He's just nearly impossible to beat without taking damage at least once; the early Mega Man devs weren't too keen on playtesting.

Melody #5

5. [GEN] Sonic the Hedgehog - "Marble Zone"

Timestamp: 0:31

[9:29 PM] BlueKirby: while looking for what i thought was 14 i accidentally found 5: marble zone from sonic 1

[10:07 PM] Yug Guy: #5 - Labyrinth Zone from Sonic
[10:08 PM] LeviR.star: you're half right
[10:08 PM] Yug Guy: what do you mean
[10:08 PM] Yug Guy: i did an arrangement of this song
[10:08 PM] Yug Guy: wait
[10:08 PM] Yug Guy: my wires crossed
[10:08 PM] Yug Guy: it's Scrap Brain Zone
[10:09 PM] LeviR.star: you're still tangled
[10:09 PM] Yug Guy: dammit
[10:09 PM] Yug Guy: Marble Garden

Close enough. ^^

I'm relieved to see people know more Sonic songs aside from Green Hill Zone.

Melody #6

6. [SWITCH] Fire Emblem: Three Houses - "The Night of the Ball"

Timestamp: 1:12

[9:07 PM] mastersuperfan: #6 is from FE3H... somewhere
[9:08 PM] mastersuperfan: is it Life at Garreg Mach Monastery
[9:08 PM] LeviR.star: no
[9:08 PM] mastersuperfan: bah
[9:08 PM] mastersuperfan: I'll find it at some point
[9:08 PM] mastersuperfan: ...could you at least pick a part that isn't the literal main theme
[9:08 PM] LeviR.star: what?
[9:08 PM] mastersuperfan: #6
[9:08 PM] mastersuperfan: the part you picked
[9:09 PM] mastersuperfan: that's the FE3H leitmotif that appears in like 80% of the OST
[9:09 PM] LeviR.star: well how was i supposed to know
[9:09 PM] mastersuperfan: well if you didn't know, you could always accept anything else with the motif in it in the same key?
[9:09 PM] LeviR.star: it's in the same key?
[9:09 PM] mastersuperfan: yes
[9:10 PM] LeviR.star: fck
[9:10 PM] LeviR.star: that's it
[9:10 PM] LeviR.star: no more FE
[9:10 PM] mastersuperfan: it's in the same key for most of the time it appears in the OST
[9:10 PM] LeviR.star: i give up
[9:10 PM] mastersuperfan: Life at Garreg Mach Monastery is the exact same tempo too
[9:11 PM] LeviR.star: the night of the ball is the track i chose
[9:11 PM] mastersuperfan: ah
[9:11 PM] LeviR.star: if they're so similar
[9:11 PM] LeviR.star: what's the point of calling it a "new track"
[9:11 PM] mastersuperfan: well the rest of the Night of the Ball is not the main motif
[9:11 PM] mastersuperfan: you just happened to pick the one part that was
[9:11 PM] LeviR.star: not a FE fan
[9:11 PM] LeviR.star: and at this point, that's not changing

Apologies for this one, too! Apparently, it uses the motif heard in lots of other songs, notably, "Life at Garreg Mach Monastery". This is what I get for not knowing Fire Emblem music.

-- but my man Dudeman still recognized this specific track, so he gets an extra half of a point!

[10:12 PM] LeviR.star: maybe that too? idk, but it's the break the targets theme
[10:13 PM] LeviR.star: bonus game
[10:13 PM] Yug Guy: okay, i just checked & training mode is a different skong
[10:13 PM] LeviR.star: i'll still give it to you

10. [SNES] Kirby Super Star - "Grape Garden"

Timestamp: 0:32

[2:27 PM] mastersuperfan: might look for #9, dunno if I'll look for #10 because I don't have the slightest clue where to look
[2:27 PM] mastersuperfan: sounds like a recent game though
[2:27 PM] mastersuperfan: although if it's Star Allies I wouldn't know it

[10:20 PM] Radiak488417: 10 is """"grape garden""""

[6:14 PM] Atcero: shiiit
[6:15 PM] Atcero: bro
[6:15 PM] Atcero: Grape Garden?
[6:16 PM] Atcero: bruhhh
[6:16 PM] Atcero: youre not gonna fucking believe this
[6:16 PM] Atcero: I OPENED UP THE OST AND IT WAS ON GRAPE GARDEN LOL
[6:16 PM] Atcero: like im not shitting you it was already on the song from the LAST time i had to look up this song
[6:17 PM] Atcero: but thank you

I think Radiak said it best. Thanks to a single line of dialogue and GilvaSunner's lack of context, the whole Internet's got this song confused with another one, which is actually played in Grape Gardens. But look at it this way: it was either this, or "Orange Ocean". There's no real way to win here.

[9:32 PM] Dudeman: #11: This one also sounds familiar. I'm getting the vaguest amount of Sonic vibes from it, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. Also part of me thinks it's from a Mega Man fangame like Unlimited, but that can't be it...right?

[9:16 PM] mastersuperfan: #11 sounds like Mega Man lol

Yep, you guys fell for it. The ol' "song-that-sounds-like-Mega-Man-but-isn't" trick. This was also a good way to get a console rep for the Game Boy Color.

I always knew Yume Nikki was a niche game, but apparently it's less popular around here than I thought. In hindsight, I should've swapped this melody with #15 over in the obscure section. Good thing Yug had my back.
