| I need some feedback. Yesterday I got working on this mario music, but I can not decide what to do. I just added a stronger bass sound, is this enough? Also is the music to repetitive (to much anoying bell sounds?) Is the intro clear enough(is it recognizable?) Download here : http://www.cromdesign.nl/music/midi/mario.mid |

| It's not really Mario style, other than that I'm not shure what to say, I don't recall having heard anything similar, but some more variation in tones would probably make it better. I don't think the very first part of the intro is good, but overall it's pretty nice :) |

| too 'tinkly '. sounds more like a childs nursery rhyme kind of thing. nees to be a bit more dramatic in my opinion |

| Hmmm yes the bell sound needs changing to something more...mellow with more sustain maybe? Remotely resembles the Mario sort of style but I had myself thinking of chinese/japanese influences possibly pentatonic scales in there. I like it as a melody, you just need to play around with different voices to make it more appealing. |

| I took only the 'mario' melody, then started writing a song around it. The feedback is appreciated. Once I start working on a song then it is hard to listen to it as a whole. The song now has more 'movie style' drama and had a lot of minor changes. http://www.cromdesign.nl/music/midi/mario_upd.mid And the mp3 version that is sampled thru a tone generator. http://www.cromdesign.nl/music/2004/mario_dream.mp3 The volumes are still buggered, headphones vs boxes vs midi ect. Need more practise. |

| Definitely getting better, has a unique quirky quality about it. Appears to sound like several 'blocks' of melody though, I think it would benefit from some sustained strings in the background to pad it out. Keep at it! =) |

| Yes - backgound strings or synth would help also you need to add a few more notes to the bass line - it only plays the root note every couple of chord changes - add in a few 5ths and 7ths this will fill those gaps and add a bit of pace ! |

| That's the Mario music from the original gameboy version, which might be why some of you don't recognize it as a mario tune. I remember hearing that originally and not thinking it fit a Mario game. As for your version... It could do with some additional copies of the instruments to give it more of a thicker more reverberant sound. What's a tone generator? The mp3 sounds better of course being midi. But I can't help feeling that it needs more. Maybe louder strings too. They kinda fade into the background. |

| I think I remember the melody from a television show about mario. The one with the actors and cartoons in between. The music has been used a lot. What's a tone generator? It's like a software synth table. But only hardware. The Yamaha Tone generator I have can be hooked up to the midi port, and be programmed ect. The quality and effects are very nice. I am still not sure of where to take the song (style wise). A more present lower frequency is something I will pay more attention to. |
