Here is my cover of MegaPhilX's NailMan theme from his upcoming game, Megaman Unlimited! I'm new to this sort of thing, so please tell me what you think!

You're already more advanced than many people when they start FT!

All right, criticism time: I think the drums are too loud in frames such as 07. You should stick with what you have in 0A, and then quiet it down a little bit. Otherwise, great!

This is actually pretty nice! Good work young Padawan!

I... kinda agree with Luteus77, the volume envelopes of the 'Drums' instrument could be slightly changed, but not too much...
The thing is that they remind me very much of MM5 percussion (and MM5 is my favorite Mega Man game) and I personally think that they fit in this song quite well.

Here's some volume envelopes that you can try:

15 12 11 9 8 6 5 3 2 0
15 12 10 8 6 4 3 0
15 11 7 4 2 0


I also think that the percussion could be improved even more by adding some MM2-ish percussion, but I'm not 100% sure about this...

Made a few minor adjustments to instruments, and a small change to the Noise line on frame 08.

EDIT: Fixed a few more bugs.

Another edit! Tweaked a few instruments, mostly in the Triangle and Noise lines. Also Added a bit of echo at the end in Frame 0D.
Please tell me what you think!

The cover's pretty well done, but you forgot that MegaPhilX uses the old style of vibrato in his FTM's, hence why the music he's done sounds a little... [i]iffy[/i] in some parts. Well, if you've played Mega Man Unlimited ([i]ugh[/i]), you'll know how bad the vibrato can get in his tracks.

I second that sentiment. Incredibly tedious game.

As for the cover, there are a couple of bad notes - the most obvious one on being the B-3 in Pulse 1, frame 05. Otherwise OK. In fact, looking at the original Nail Man theme video [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNDmyzwE-T4]here, it looks like you transcribed it straight from the video with the exception of some small volume changes (which is why I'm a little surprised by the bad notes). The new percussion from frame 09 onwards is interesting though.

I'm not familiar with this song, so take what I say here with a grain of salt.

[size=5]Hey! >:( Hahaha just kidding, yeah I agree, but see the bottom of this post.

Yeah, I agree with him on this point. Though, as someone else said, it wouldn't hurt to have Megaman 2 drums (and a few triangle drums if you know what those are) as well.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? If that is true, then you're in for some trouble, man. If Glitch_King (an older member) gets attachment abilities take away for copying two channels off of someone else for a few frames, then you're gonna be in for... interesting times.
