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 begs 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 didn't fit 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. (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 wasn't 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
