This is probably the most complex thing I've done thus far. I was just thinking "Why would you mess with the speed when you have tempo control?" Then I made this.

It's on like... well, you know.

Your cover is excellent and very accurate, but it [i]begs[/i] to be in a swinging tempo. Just alternate between F08 and F06 (in that order) every 2 lines and bob's your uncle.

The melody that starts at frame 08 could use a better instrument as well. There's some inaccuracies as well in melody as well as the noise rhythm, but nothing that stopped me enjoying the piece. ^^

EDIT: Made some very minor changes to your FTM. Tell me what you think!

No. Musically, it IS accurate (I didn't hear any note that [i]didn't fit[/i] within the harmony of the tune). Sure, some things could be improved, but it's still pretty good to me.

And while we're at it, I think I speak for everyone when I say you could be a little bit more considerate of others in your comments. ([url=http://famitracker.shoodot.net/forum/posts.php?id=916&pid=12499#12499]case in point)

Well, turns out this song was even more of a lesson in speed vs. tempo than I thought. That's a pretty valuable trick there; I was wondering why I couldn't get it to sound exactly right. There were some points in your FTM where it messed up and brought the song to a dead halt, so I took care of that.

I did that on purpose, because the original slows down at the end of section A makes a slight pause before section B. So essentially you reverted one of my corrections there. :p

Inoticed two things missed.

One: before the change into the gloomier part of the song there is supposed to be two more measures and a little high part that trails off.

Two: in the gloomier part there is supposed to be a harmony line for the low square.

I fixed both.

EDIT: Three: there is supposed to be a pickup to the baseline part.

Four: the harmony line sounds better as an octave.

Five: I added DPCM.

Oh well, teamcover it shall be!

I'd like help on any of my covers I recently posted if anyone has time...

EDIT: I screwed up on one thing, I fixed it up.

Dammit, I've always wanted to do a jungle hijinx cover but you beat me to it =( Only thing I can say is I don't really like the lead, but at least it seems accurate.

I always thought the tempo [i]wasn't[/i] swinging in this song, like it was an illusion or something, but I checked it in audacity and it actually does swing a little hehe. But varying between F05 and F09 is too much imo
