SHOW OFF! SHOW OFF! Baby, show me how ya port dat! - Gamma V's ports

After seeing imamelia's music thread, I decided to make my own, listing music I've submitted along with SPCs of music I'm working on or have yet to submit.

SUBMITTED PORTS

8 Eyes - Egypt
Adventure Island - Level 1
Ardy Lightfoot - Beecroft's Stronghold This was a bit of a collaboration with Atma. That's because the computer I was using couldn't run Anvil Studio or MML Editing Tool.
M.C. Kids - Level 4
M.C Kids - Level 1
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Sky Chase Zone
Speedy Gonzales GB - Mexico Zone
Super Mario Kart - Vanilla Lake
NEW! Metroid - Kraid's Lair This is still waiting to be moderated.

SUBMITTED COMPOSITIONS
Buried Ruins
Return to Chai Kingdom

WIP/NOT SUBMITTED
Desert Overworld This was composed for the Yellow World submap in Mecha-Bowser's Revenge
Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge - Wily Stage 1 V2 This is the second version of my 16-bit Wily Stage 1/Enker remix.
Icy Paradise This is another composition for Mecha-Bowser's Revenge. It'll be used in above-ground Blue World levels.
Action 52 - NonHuman (Remix) This is a remix/extension of the NonHuman theme from Action 52.
Mega Man V GB - Pluto's Theme This is another 16-bit remix for the Mega Man project.
Progressive Factory This was my attempt at composing a song entirely in Notepad.
Water Waltz V2 The original version of this didn't make it through the remoderation of the music section.

Hot Rod: I have nothing but contempt for this court!

It looks like I'll have to double-post to keep this from getting buried.

Mega Man 6 - Tomahawk Man's Theme

Here's another 16-bit remix for imamelia's Mega Man 16-bit Remix project. I had a bit of trouble with the instrument choices, but finally settled on what's used in the SPC.

It would really help if you bump your thread whenever you edit your first post with a new port/major update to an older port. Hopefully anyone else reading this does the same in the future.

I'm liking the new percussion in your "Metroid - Kraid's Lair" arrangement! If you'd like a way to improve the port, something I noticed was the lack of a bass channel. I know the original didn't really have one to begin with, but having a drum pattern like that would definitely sound great with a strong bass, even if that bass held out for entire measures. Maybe you could copy channel #0 to a new channel, lower it an octave or two, and switch the instrument to a bass? That might help.

I also noticed how you can hear two attacks going on with the melody and its pseudo echo channel. I usually slightly lower the attack on the pseudo echo by 1 or 2 values..... but at this point something as minor as this is just being nit-picky. Really, nice job with the arrangement!

Anyways, the new port sounds nice, though I do feel like the bass doesn't stand out enough, making an overall empty feeling in the port.. Actually wait, you don't even have a bass after the loop. Make sure you fix the loop on that!
UPDATED! Metroid - Kraid's Lair

I added in a @14 line that follows the @13, but plays an octave lower with a staccato, adjusted the attack on the pseudo-echo channel, and adjusted the @22 channel a bit.

That one sounds really nice, I'm loving the percussion you added.
Anyway you may want to raise the volume of the bass in #4 and lowering its octave, as it's barely noticeable right now. Also, just a suggestion, but maybe moving around the channels could help removing some serious SFX cutoff on ch #4, I'd personally advice not using it if you have ch #6 free.

This is hawt dude! I love it!! Plese finish so I can use :3
It's finished. I just need to submit the new version.

UPDATED! Tomahawk Man's Theme

It turns out that I forgot to put the / command on the bass line. That mistake has been corrected. I also made #1 a little more dynamic by having it switch to @5 at one point.

Lui, I could probably raise the volume on that bass and rearrange the channels, but I can't lower the octave any further. The lowest notes play on o1.

It looks like I'll have to multipost again.
During C3, I decided to submit some of the songs I had lying around on my computer.

CUSTOM - Across the Sands
I actually composed this sometime last year, but never felt like submitting it and lost the original txt in a hard drive crash. Using NintSPC, I was able to recreate the txt since I had an SPC in my File Bin. If this sounds familiar, it's because it was used in Mecha-Bowser's Revenge.

CUSTOM - Desert Overworld
Eh, I couldn't think of a better name for this one. It's EXTREMELY short, so it's strictly Overworld music.

M.C. Kids - Hamburglar Hideout
I've had this around since last summer and just procrastinated WAY too much when it came to submitting.

Sonic Triple Trouble - Meta Junglira Zone
I've wanted to port this song since I started porting, but only got around to actually DOING it while working on Mecha-Bowser's Revenge. I needed a song for Treetop Trek and figured this would fit.

Super Mario Land 2 - Tree Zone Map
This was the first song I managed to port successfully, but it still had issues, like the harmony and melody being switched. This caused it to be trashed along with the other legacy ports. I fixed the octaves so that the melody and harmony were no longer switched. I also added another drum channel with a steady @10. This version was used for the Green World map in Mecha-Bowser's Revenge. During C3, I decided I'd improve it further by reducing the insert size and replacing the @10 with @21.
