No offence intended, but if this is calm for you, then what would you consider not calm =o This has almost no sense of proper melodic direction, you've pretty much spammed the percussion (which kind of runs against "calm" ), and there's no volume control.

This is pretty much the opposite of calm.

Well, yeah, that's why the title was "Nice" "calm" "menu" theme, because it's not really calm at all.

Cool, you can do that in private. What was the point of posting it?

And again, the same tip as always. Look at other people's FTMs. Try and learn how to create better instruments. Try and learn how to utilize effects. Learn something about music theory because, honestly, your tracks seem to show none of these abilities.

I really don't want to bash anyone or say "Everything you do is bad", but I've been listening to pretty much all of your tracks at least once and I don't see you listening to any hint, tip, trick or technique anyone here tries to convey to you.
PLEASE listen and other people's advice, right now I can't bare your music. Sorry

I can't really say anything more than this on the matter. Find a rhythm, stick to it, get steady drumbeats, structure your song well with a lead, melody, bass, etc, and if you don't think a good, respected composer (not necessarily like rushjet or dannoct, but someone respectable) would be happy to upload it, it probably needs fixing.

Basic rule: if it isn't worth your own time, it probably isn't worth other's time.

This sounds like one of those LJN games that AVGN reviews, dude. All of the notes are dissonant and irregular, as if you randomly mashed them on your keyboard. I think you should try covering songs first, so you can get a feel of what making an actual song is like.

MiniMacro: Not sure if I'd say 'calm'. Sounds like it would possibly be good for near a boss battle in a game with ghosts, perhaps?

sparkyrogers: Say what you want about LJN soundtracks, I think some of them sound quite good (T&C Surf Design, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Nightmare on Elm Street for instance).

Another good LJN soundtrack is Pictionary. (Wait, that was by Tim Follin, so it probably doesn't count...)
It's not supposed to be calm. It's supposed to be "calm." (quotation marks)

I noticed the quotation marks, I just don't understand how that changes the meaning to anything relevant to this module.

Before posting anything public, it is probably a good idea to take a break from using FamiTracker, (or even just the thing you plan to publish) for an hour or two and listen to it again with fresh ears afterwards, just to make sure it really sounds good. I do that with pretty much everything I publish.

I also experiment quite a bit with FamiTracker (I have modules dating back to 2011 sitting around on my hard drive). It's okay to do that, just know what to post.

(attached is one of my better examples from early 2012, a lot of the really bad ones have personal info in the tags)
