I had these over in the “Other Customs” forum but since they require some more work, I decided they should go here instead.

 

Some helpful comments are in the original post above.

 

If anyone wants to do some adjustments, please help yourself. Just give me credit for at least some of the work. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

This was a project that I completed in just little over a day after it was requested by my girlfriend who enjoyed playing Axel F that was released by Sideshow.

 

The hardest part was picking out what to use for the bass line and the hi hat/cymbal ride. When listening to the song, especially during the opening, there is a faint background rhythm which I considered using but since you cannot hear it during the main part, I thought it would be better to use the more familiar riff instead.

 

I decided to go with the hi hat ride throughout the song since you do hear it. It was rather fun trying to determine the hi hat from the shaker that is used during the opening.

 

This is also the first guitar solo I’ve attempted. I downloaded a MIDI version of the song and pulled the solo out of it cleaned it up.

 

I also looked at

guitar cover and wondered if it should be added even though you cannot actually hear guitar until the solo. Just to give the guitarist something more to do.

This is my first custom. Fairly easy song to learn on. Simple drum beat for easy tempo mapping. Learned quite a bit doing the harmonies on this one. Have to give lots of thanks to my girlfriend for helping me tweak them.

 

I suspect there is more guitar parts in this song but I’m not hearing it over all the keyboards. This cover video allows you to hear what could be played during the chorus. Any thoughts to adding it?

I added vocal/harmonies to this one and used the CAT Reductions on it. I would give credit to the original author but they are unknown.

 

This song needed vocals/harmonies just like all the song from Nightwish. I was lucky to find a MIDI of the song and used it as a base to get within range and then during play testing was able to find the biggest errors.

 

During the modification, the pro keys didn’t want to render so I just disabled them. If someone wants to find what the problem is and re-add them, then by all means.

 

No tempo map on this one either so it is what it is.

Thanks for playing Axel F. I’ll have to try your Miami Vice theme when I get the chance.
