[GCN] Star Fox Assault - "Space Battleground" by David Sylvester

Thanks! But... where da file at

Only thing I have to bring up is possibly the playability of the RH in measure 22, beat 4. Those fast octaves are a little past anyone's reach methinks.

I mean, I can play them sometimes, but not always at tempo, so maybe that run could just be single octave? I'm thinking just to take the lower notes out.

Hahahahahaha I totally forgot to post it before deleting it. XD Give me a second here and I'll redo it.

Yeah, that sounds good. I mean, it's a drag, but few people in the world would be able to pull that off well.

EDIT: Here it is.

Bump for updated files

Lol, I know right?

I am not able to check the notes for accuracy right now, but there are some visual things I'd like to point out:

- I'm not sure if you have the full version of Finale or not, but if you happen to, go to the Tie Tool and move the ties in M. 37 up until they are no longer clashing with the notes. The Tie Tool is under Special Tools.
- The accents are clashing with the volta bracket in M. 19 & 21.
- This is an optional suggestion, but I would recommend a 7/4 Time Signature from M. 9-16. Also from M. 23-28. This would cut down on the amount of Time changes and would, in my opinion, look sharper.
- You may want to rearrange the measures a little bit or diminish the margins. It looks somewhat cramped as it is.

Looks like a good arrangement! I'll go ahead and check the notes later.

Yeah, I only have Finale Notepad as I mainly use Musescore to write sheet music. But thanks for pointing those spots out!

Fixed clashing things and re-spaced things a bit. Also removed the low octave notes in 22 - that seems to have been forgotten.

I thought about that, but I feel like having the 3/4 to 4/4 switch more clearly articulates the accents on the downbeat of each and helps to make the phrasing clearer

That said, I personally do think 7/4 would be nicer. Fine either way though.

Whoops, my bad. I should've read the thread to see if you had notepad or not.

[DS]

Cool, so I updated the submission with Latios's new version. Layout looks a lot cleaner now, thanks

Hmmm... you know what, I gotta go now, but I'll see how that looks when I get back.

There's actually some missing notes in the RH chords at m. 3 and m.7. Listen REALLY carefully. It's not the same as m. 1 and m. 5.

[DS]

Listen REALLY carefully.

http://imgur.com/COUFzlg I tried XD

I literally played the things right on top of each other, tried adjusting the EQ, and even pitch shifted it up (which is a surprisingly useful technique for finding notes) but I still couldn't find anything other than a low D overtone on the LH ostinato. Do you mean that trumpet D in the chord? I'm pretty sure it's in both stabs...

[Bespinben]

It's nice to see that you appreciate the art of audio manipulation as I do

This is going to sound very distorted, but I tried to highlight the different notes in the chord stabs as clearly as possible:

Stab 1: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35209091/perfect%205th%20strike.mp3
Stab 2: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35209091/phrygian%20strike.mp3

You should be able to hear that in stab 2, there is a very audible Eb. Because I'd argue this derives from the parallel Phyrgian minor, you could also add in an Ab to round out the harmony.

[DS]

Oh, I see what you did there. At first it was hard to tell, but then once you told me it was the Eb, I took the audio and EQ-ed it once to isolate Eb 4 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1RmRwKRXmElS09ETV9ybDdISk0/view?usp=sharing) and once for Eb 3 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1RmRwKRXmElQ1h6M1pXcUlZRWs/view?usp=sharing). Basically it seems that on the second chord of the double hits there's a string Eb in there, so maybe I should just take this note:



And make it an Eb?

[Bespinben]

I was thinking more along the lines of this:



While it is uncommon, there are a few occasions where a flat 9th interval would actually be preferable to a major 7th. In this case, to accent the dissonance.

Bump for bumpage.
