Now that you've seen my transcription of Clubbed To Death, I guess I can say that it's not my first time using FamiTracker.

The transcription was actually my fourth; I've already transcribed three other tracks (an old Swedish folk song called Herr Mannelig, assorted Russian songs for my own rendition of a Tetris track & a song from the Canadian cartoon The Raccoons, called Run With Us).

My very first trial-run of FamiTracker was an original soundtrack I made (for a theoretical RPG I had in mind). This was made before I had a better understanding of DPCM, so my percussion is absolutely horrible, in my opinion (I used strict noise-only percussion).

I know I can definitely improve this track, so please check the attachments & tell me what you think I should change (if you think it's lousy).

Thanks, SakuriRainne.

By the way, I'm a dude. But no worries; the internet's too anonymous for people to determine a person's gender.

And good use of sir &/or madam; I guess you didn't want to discriminate against transsexuals, either. :P (Kidding.)

Mind you, I still have doubts about my percussion (especially in my Boss combat sequences).

That style of percussion is what most early NES stuff sounded like anyways, so for being loyal to the adventure series, it's great.

I've personally got a crash cymbals PCM and that's it for the DPCM channel.

Yeah; I went on a search for a DPCM sample pack, so now I'm equipped with some interesting beats. But I prefer using DPCM for percussion & only using the noise channel for accentuating it.

Honestly, I also intend to add sound effects to the track (such as a sword swing, a cash register sound à la Super Mario, a sound effect for gun fire, etc.). And with DPCM in use, I can't really do this because the sound effects would take precedence over the music & cut out the percussion (if it were to be programmed into a game).

Sakuri, I'd love to hear your crash sample. My attempts to get a good-sounding crash via DPCM have failed miserably.

Not bad, but. . . I don't hear percussion. Did the song download incorrectly? I mean, why the crap do I not hear percussion nor see percussion in the FTM, but the other comments suggest that percussion exists? I feel dumb or something. :[

Scroll through the songs, then you'll find some with percussion.

Well, I'm sure you're not going to like my use of the noise channel anyways.

I truly need DPCM to achieve what I'm actually looking for. But thanks for enjoying the tunes.

Mind you, there's plenty of room for improvement.

Thanks. Mind you, I only see minor horror themes in my track (namely the Sanctuary themes & Necropolis theme).

I originally came with this soundtrack as part of a hypothetical, open-source adventure game for the NES (part of which actually involves some horror elements as well as medieval/revolutionary elements).

My idea was for a game modeled after Crystalis in terms of game play.
