Wow you've already arranged the entire soundtrack for 2 games! Really impressive! :)
You could always post dropbox links, as other people have done, so people can view your arrangements and give feedback.

Good idea, Tobbeh99. Just added a link for the Shin Onigashima files in the list above, and I'll be doing the same for Murasame Castle soon.
EDIT: Added link for Murasame Castle dropbox.

Quote from: WandringMinstrel on September 16, 2015, 09:58:34 PMArranged "Stage Theme 1" from [NES] - Wrecking Crew by request. Might follow it up with a medley, like the one in Smash Wii U.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0r6fx9z2ao4mcmy/AAD21_GAc3py1zDa0jwGlzaEa?dl=0

EDIT: Finished the medley. Mostly based on the retro medley Smash Wii U, but without the cuts (so it's closer to the original songs). Dropbox here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7la8thkrnfjgntu/AABs38dtwZHVRQJBnymW66S2a?dl=0

The link are down, could you please reupload? Thanks in advance! Good work with all these btw! Work a little bit more on formatting as a tip though :J

Tobbeh99

A smart idea might be to put all the dropbox links in the OP so people interested easily can look at them. :)

If by "OP" you mean "original post", then that's exactly what I'm working on right now! Though now that I think of it, is there a way to make links out of other text? Like, rather than posting the entire dropbox link can I have the word "PDF" or "MIDI" link to the files? I'm not super familiar with these forums.

Brawler4Ever

Yes. Use [begin url=_link_]your text[end url]. Not this exactly, because otherwise it wouldn't show up in the post. Does that make sense?
Even when everyone else has gone,
I will punch the punching bag until a game comes on. XD

10 years later. Still Brawling!

Tobbeh99

yes there is:

If you want to have link with the name "NinSheetMusic" for example.

Use the "insert hyperlink".
then {url}{/url} will appear(but with different brackets)
then write {url=(insert url here)}NinSheetMusic{/url}
if done correctly this will be the result:
NinSheetMusic

you can obviously change the links to whatever name you want, like dropbox, zip, pdf, mus, mid etc.

Yeah, thanks! I'll be able to figure it out from there.

I'll have to shorten the links later, I have work in a few minutes.

FINALLY finished with Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir. Also finished a couple of songs from Super Mario Maker and cleaned up the original post a bit.

I really like your arrangements; they're very unique! I checked out a few from Famicom Detective Club. Here's a couple of things you might want to think about.

-In "Kagura Temple," my LH liked playing the dotted-half A4's in the first several measures.
-In "Opening," you might play around with measure distribution. With 4 measures per system, it would be easy to stick the key change at the end of a system, which always looks nice to me!
-"Title" and "Opening" are both in 6/8, but your tempo marking for "Title" shows the quarter note value while the tempo marking for "Opening" shows the dotted quarter (in case you like consistency).

"Title" is super-cool because several pitches in the melody are reminiscent of "Time Gear" and all its incarnations in PMD. :) The same motif shows up in "Opening," too.

I'll check out more when I find more time!

...Really though. Don't let them take it away from you. That desire for something more, for adventure... for destiny. Don't let them turn it against you, either.

WandringMinstrel

Some of those might just be errors from past drafts that just didn't get saved over. I'll definitely check them out, thanks for the heads-up.

I've been busy with work, but I'm starting to find time to arrange again.
Lately, I've been working on the Kid Icarus soundtrack, the series seems underrepresented on the site. I'll update again when I've finished it.
