Attention anyone good with making MUSIC and/or SOUND EFFECTS

Postby Phyreburnz » January 9th, 2012, 3:00 am

For some of the animations I've done, we need music. If anybody is good at making music, please let me know!

So far, I only have two animations that need music. Those are DK playing the bass guitar and Kiddy playing drums. Also, don't worry about matching the music to the animations, I will try my best to make my animations match the music.

I also have an idea for a sound effect. I think it would be cool to add the clicking noise when the skull cart in DKC2 goes up a hill.

I really hope somebody good with music finds this! :D

*EDIT* I should specify, for those that don't know, the bass and drums tracks are going to be used for DK and Kiddy beating a level in the DKC2 style (like Dixie on guitar and Diddy singing).

I tried making Kiddy's drums and ended up with something more suitable for DK, but I have no idea how to upload my test samples.

You can zip the files. It wouldn't let me upload the PSDs so I had to zip them. If that doesn't work Simion32 might be able to give a suggestion.

I added a sample MP3, just a quick test, might work for both but you decide. Let me know what you think or what you want modified, cut, added, or removed etc.

I love it!!! :D It will DEFINITELY work for DK! I think that Kiddy's drumming should sound terrible. It would make it more comical!

*EDIT* I guess you're the one that suggested that his drumming should be terrible! I forgot who said it, so I had to double check!

Thanks!

Yeah, definitely, I want to add sound effects to Kiddy raising his eyebrows and dropping his sticks too, let me see what I come up with.

I will have Kiddy start up perfectly and mess up halfway. I'm just worried it might be a longer file.

Related to the sprite thread I think you should make DK's head bounce to his foot tap and make him look to his left and back to the front before ending the beat. I don't think that would be too hard for you. 8-)

Also I uploaded the file as an 188 kb Mp3, if the final version needs to be smaller I can upload it as midi and it will go down to about 10kb but obviously the quality will suffer a bit.

I actually put together an extended version of "K. Rool Returns" in Audacity, using two tracks from the game.

Hey Cosmicman,

Your DK bass ending is great, really clever stuff :) made me inspired to give Kiddy's ending a shot for fun. After playing around with ideas, I came up with a test demo based off of the DKC3 "Stilt Village" theme.

Yours will ultimately be used, but I think I might've came up with something short and sweet that would really hit home with Kiddy ;)

Thanks Cody, your sample sounds awesome !

Still not complete but this is the route I'm going, I don't think I can make Kiddy sound terrible and then have him drop his sticks like a boss.

So here are two samples, one without melody so you can hear the drums, and another one with a melody, I guess you can use whichever one you like better, but like I said I'm still working on it, I need to mess with the volume add the sound effects of his sticks dropping etc, so this is just a preview.

My $0.02 is that the non-melodic version suits the level ending better. Having a remix of the Game Over theme for beating a level is just silly :P
