How to Make Mario Sound Effects

[meganite03]

AHA!!!! SO GREAT!! So that's how!

[thrillscience]

Of course, you could practice your Czerny some more and play them in real time.

[BigGHpondus]

Though u used stop motion, lol ^^

[copeagua]

whats the program he uses?

[TheMusicalMidget]

@copeagua Video editing would be final cut pro I think...

[TheMusicalMidget]

@copeagua yeah It is final cut pro.. you can see the name of the program on the very top left at 0:03

I always loved how NES sound effects were done. Since the 8-bit system had such limited sound hardware, just about every sound effect in every game was a clever use of pitches. There's a much easier (and more accurate) way to get the proper transcriptions of ANY sound effect from an NES game though - get the NSF music/sound file for that game, use a NSF2MIDI converter to convert each desired SFX to midi, and read the MIDI notes in a sequencer.

Great video and killer rendition of the SMB theme!

i'm gonna make your super mario song my ringtone, wouldn't have it any other way dude, seriously good job!!! and thanks for posting this!!

[MakeupN3rd]

Your so amazing its unfair!

[warriorforjah]

your so sick Dude!!! thanks for the advice

[PurpleHatFilms]

What program do you use, Logic?

[emceelokey]

That's pretty interesting. I never even thought that those sound effects would actually be something indescribable. I just thought they were.... Sound effects...

[edmmman]

What about the coin sounds?

Hey Shizohal is my brother! Love that his video was helpful to someone else, and your Mario Music Video rules!

[shizohal]

Hey man, thanks for giving me credit!

[JackConteExtras]

@shizohal - you kidding man?! Thanks for the awesome transcriptions!!  I was so inspired when I saw that. Major props to you, man!

[jester1176]

Jack, you're the man. Keep up the badassery.

[MultiCavalera]

thumbs up smosh brought you here

[asimplecadence]

You are about the ONLY person who does things like this frequently. I love it. You're awesome, Jack Conte.

[DannyMora1993]

How long did it take you to edit the whole Video? its AMAZING

[SirRofflez]

Totally sick



[frenchytouch]

what a great idea,genius!

[GorgovichStudios1]

Hit 5 and then 6 over and over

[ehohnke]

What is the software being used for the videosongs? (I bet this question gets asked a lot)

[cranie4]

@ehohnke Not 100% sure but I'm going to say Final Cut Pro.

[TheLionsDenNews]

The thought would have never crossed my mind. That is why you make the music and I feature it, haha!

[cheezewheel]

neat-o :D nicely done on both videos

[DreadFugitiveMind]

simply fucking A W E S O M E !!!!!

[beatchef]

That's really interesting that the 'Mario getting a mushroom' sound effect is basically the end of level piano run melody sped up really fast!

[nicholaswatmough]

@beatchef Or the end of the level piano run is just the "Mario getting a mushroom" sound effect slowed down like crazy. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOH...

[vlogprocrastinando]

CO ZA AÇY!!!

[TheShnitzel]

Cooooooooollll!!

[TheFXMen]

AWESOME!

[BritFilmLover3]

Jack... I love you!

[Begeaux]

Thanks! Quite simple, never would have thought that the sound at 0:40 comes from a piano. But it's more fun trying to play it in the actual, really sick tempo. ;)

[disgruntledmumbler]

at times I think that Jack is just too awesome. is that possible?

[gpkeys]

awesome video!!! Lovin your version of the theme song too!

[faireset]

thanks a ton for sharing your tips Jack ;)

[razveck]

Lol when I saw the video I thought u did it with stop-motion "a la" MGM

[telethebhe]

FFFUUUUUUUUFUFUFUUFUFUFUFU

[artdeco101010]

BAD ASS !

[MichaelCampionMusic]

How is the video corresponding to the speed up if you are doing the audio in Pro Tools and the Video in FCP?

[cellmate89]

@MichaelCampionMusic it's basically the same. 400% in audio is 400% in video. you just have to sync it up.

[ryanisflyboy]

w00terz. This looks like a great track, can't wait for it to show up. I predict Nintendo will have Jack do the soundtrack to the next game in the Mario series... or they will not be able to reach the warp zone.

[dominickkk5]

whoo!

[SuperBob232]

Jack, you're my hero. VS4 has been the best album I've heard in a long time. Every time I listen to it, I have a new favorite track. Every song on there is absolutely brilliant. Thanks for being so awesome.
