    What about Apple Jack's theme? You can get away from the dub and do some western music.

    You could also do a song for a fan character. Like for Doctor Whoof or Derpy.

    hmm, Pac, you know, We'd rather not use the dub, but without it, people will say "Teh r no Poniz." But if I look at that what'cha said, Using dub for Applejack's Western music would kill the piece. Really.
    Hmm, Doctor Whoof...

    Combine Doctor House and My little pony and you get the most awesome thing on the planet.

    Btw, the song that starts at 0:35 is one version of the song, while the one at 2:17 is another.

    Derpy, if you could do something like this for Doctor Whoof (Which would be a totally new and original idea, I guess) That would be awesome.

    Wow derpy, how does it feel to have it featured on ED?
    That's fantastic! You've really outdone yourself this time :smile:
    ++++!

    Scoot's theme is sound really sweet, very retro! However I got a lot of clipping (could just be my speakers though?)
    Regardless can't wait for the final version!

    EDIT: The GXCSS version doesn't have any clipping!! :D

    Yeah the clipping is just the result of my laziness/poor mixing on the wip, play it through windows media player (itunes may compress it too) and it should remove that - at least until I get a better wip going.

    http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/little-bag-of-friendship-not-tree.html

    Seems like that video that someone else posted up of my song (without my permission..... meh he had no wrong intent and clearly stated it's a wip so I have no problem with him keeping it up (I talked to him about it)) got on ED too with mixed feedback.

    "Personally, I find the song amusing, but I'm not sure ponies for 6 year olds and weed would go together very well.
    Still, quite amusing."

    Lolz

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Man I wish I had more free time with school and all, I could finish the first piece easy over spring break, but now with homework and tests coming up (AP exams) I feel more restricted then ever, especially now that I have so many ideas that I'd like to work with.


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    @Jaret, I'm doing original pieces, so as not to bother trying to stuff a round peg in a square hole going off a hasty assumption that a piece fits the character. Also note that Dr Hooves is based off Dr. Who, not Dr. House.

    Say what? lol

    I meant to get away from the dub.

    Dub in a western... Jaret, you oatmeal. :derpe:

    Doctor Whoof is the pony version of Doctor Who.

    Hmm.. That's the 'public' for you =/
    Do you think you could at least set it as a response to Luna's or vice-versa? You don't want YOUR videos all over the place, there should be some connection so people can find the rest of your epic work! :p

    I mean there's a comment saying 'subscribing now' - Is the guy going to make a habit of using your music on his channel or what? :L

    That's the thing, I have no intention of putting up my pieces on his channel, I have my own and here to dump my stuff on, why would I need another?
    He said like one thing in a forum post about uploading it, I didn't completely get what he was saying (figured that by saying it's a wip I wasn't going to upload it yet) when he said something about it, a few days later and he posts it in that thread again. Figuring it was low key in a channel that gets not much attention I didn't think it'd be much of a problem really, then it ended up on ED and the views boomed.

    Well if he makes a habit of it and it's really annoying you report him, but I think a quick message and a linkback/response will do the trick just this once.

    His channel, as you'd expect anything that ends up on ED to
    It hasn't gotten as much as the Lunar Eclipse one, but you can see the stats all you want here:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI3zj9mYpgk&feature=player_embedded

    I'm not necessarily mad at him, more or less just agitated - it's not like he did it for views, he actually though I was alright with it (or something)
    Basically I know him on another forum and he sort of picked up the pony thing after I started doing it, he's even leeching off my random pony sig

    [​IMG]

    (hehe I can control the images that appear in that link so I'm kinda tempted to make a new one for my sig and make it show something weird for his)

    Trollestia would fit for that one?

    Never heard of this Doctor Who. And no - I won't google him. Doc House is the only famous doc for me.

    Working on this now, all I've done here is just change up the instrumentation for some cleaner and more retro sounding instruments - noticeably less fuzzy
    Still need to fill in missing layers and the percussion, but this is definitely an improvement.

    You think the lead should be retrotized too?

    -btw-

    New wip:
    http://www.box.net/shared/i82d14piio

    Filled in those layers I was neglecting before along with a few other details, mainly just needs some mixing to remove the clipping and finishing the percussion lines (which aren't finished atm).

    Put it on the chan to get some more feedback on it, what's you guy's opinions on inserting quotes?
    Personally I never was that keen on putting in sound samples in the first place since they often distract from the song and are a general pain to insert (though maybe like one at the end as part of the outro).

    Not in the main song but yeah maybe at the end "And that's how you do it" or something 'cool/big headed' that scoot says at some point :p

    [video=youtube;cj0t6G6UVI8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj0t6G6UVI8[/video]



    Got inspired to start the midi for another piece:
    http://www.box.net/shared/l4r8yz3oj5

    A bit more similar to the style of my first piece, I'm thinking perhaps Trixie (though it doesn't seem very mischievous, I guess it depends on your interpretation of here)
