I tried to fix the timing problem, but it hasn't really helped. It shouldn't be too bad if there's a sound playing during the transition.

Yeah I think things will work as is. I actually just added both songs into the level I was talking about in my last post, and it sounds amazing and really adds to the atmosphere.

Okay, so, the desert athletic theme isn't going to have the same melody as the overworld, and nobody's taken it yet, right? If that's the case, I'm on it, gimme a few days! Say, got a soundfont or bunch of VSTs as a guideline to the instruments?

Actually I believe Tri is making something for the desert athletic. You are still free to make something for the desert if you wish (it may work in places where Tri's theme doesn't), or you can take something else on the list if you wish.

Gotcha, I'll be making a desert athetic and a ghost athletic. I'll be uploading them by... the end of next week at most.

Keep in mind that the ghost athletic is for the outdoor areas in the ghost world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAWs8H-eJBw Idk, maybe something like that, but more suited for a platformer. I'll leave it up to you.

So I tried my hand at a rocket barrel theme. [url]http://www.sendspace.com/file/pbotgf[/url] What do you think?

That sounds great. The only issue I has was that my volume was only at about 30% and that song still sounded too loud.

So, I fixed some of the volume levels. It's a lot less in your face loud, I think. [url]http://www.sendspace.com/file/sa3b7t[/url]

That sounds about right. I'll have to hear it in game with the rest of the music to be sure but I think that will work.

[url=http://www.mediafire.com/?vs6q9icwydrl754]A really, really rushed preview of the desert athletic theme[/url]. Nowhere near complete, just so you know.

Sounds like a good start.

[url=http://www.mediafire.com/?924a4u1terznm9v]Desert Athletic v1.0[/url]. Gonna fix and add a bit, like the looping and the bongo rhythm. Oh, and I'll also be working on a ghost athletic and the underwater theme.

Hmmm... It's pretty good, but it seems to suffer the same issue that techmario's ghost house theme had, as in, it sounds more like the BG of a song (if that makes any sense). My best example would be to say to listen to techmario's old ghost house theme, then the new one. Don't get me wrong, it sounds pretty dang good, it's just that it feels a bit lacking.

That's what v2.0 is for, I guess. I'll try andd add a more prominent melody. By the way, where can I find the rest of the songs?

As of right now, they are all on the SVN.

...Oh. Kay, I'll be installing it... Oh yeah, have [url=http://www.mediafire.com/?y8hwxvwo22c4bxd]V2.0 of the Desert Athletic theme[/url] in the meantime. EDIT: Oh, and [url=http://www.mediafire.com/?li89u2uz3yck336]Ghost Athletic preview[/url]. I'm having way too fun with it imo, so tell me what to do with this thing. EDIT 2: [quote="Chaoxys"][spoiler]Theres a level where you have to freeze and thaw the level to get through. I just hope theres a way to have the songs sync up when you freeze or thaw it, instead of having them start over each time.[/spoiler][/quote] [spoiler]Why not start with both tracks playing, mute the track that plays later at 00:00, and when time for transition, mute the previous track and unmute the new one?[/spoiler]

The only thing I'd say is maybe it could be a tad faster. For now keep it as is, all I ask is, if it doesn't match the levels, can I speed it up a tiny bit to get it to match? (Or I could run it by you and let you know whether or not it needs to be sped up if you'd rather do it yourself). Ghost Athletic- I'm afraid that probably won't work for the ghost athletic. It is however PERFECT for the factory athletic. Maybe throw is some rhythmic machinery sounds in the BG, or a tick tock or something, idk, but seriously, it's perfect for it. For the actual ghost athletic, I'd say something closer to Forever Forest from Paper Mario would be fitting given the levels themes and designs. As for the last part, that would be up to Guinea. Hopefully he can pull something off, but even if he can't, it's not a big deal.

Desert Athletic - You can speed it up, I've tried both ways of speeding up (affecting/non-affecting the pitch), and it sounds better. I mean, it is an Athletic theme. Ghost- I mean Factory Athletic - Yeah, now that I think of it, it'd fit better as a factory athletic. Should I change the instruments or leave them as they are? Real Ghost Athletic - Hmm... I'll make a remix of Forever Forest while I wait for inspiration. Hopefully listening to its melody enough would get me some ideas. EDIT: Either a Forever Forest remix or a Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon remix. More likely one's the Dark Moon one. Also, have some [url=http://www.mediafire.com/?uxodgyo47ddj95e]underwater feat SMW[/url]. Ah, I see. If he can't pull a better trick, I guess this could be... say, a backup plan of sorts?

You could change the instruments if you want. Honestly, if you add some machine like "instruments" in the BG, I think it would work as is, so I'll leave it up to you. For the ghost athletic, Forever forest, Luigi's Mansion, or something new, whichever you'd like to make is fine. As for the Water theme, it sounds pretty good, a very solid song, although idk, maybe it's me but it feels like it's missing something. Maybe some subtle chimes in the BG? Idk, I'll leave it up to you. It's good as is but if you can think of something to make it more... lively(?), that would be cool.
