Aquatic Ambience (Donkey Kong Country) in Mario Paint Composer

[eataninja]

6 dislikes? Wow.

Tbh I'm not entirely fond of either yours or Levus's version of this song, but that's because the strings hold out awfully on OSF :/. That, and pitch bends are impossible on MPC unfortunately.

[Rusty8984]

@eataninja Well you're understanding about it at least. xD Yeah, the song isn't right for the OSF. Especially low tempo where you have even less of a chance to do all those things smoothly

[JillSandwich93]

Haters gonna' hate?

[ChristeriousNinja]

6 dislikes? Really? REALLY!?

Also this is pretty great.

[Rusty8984]

@ChristeriousNinja Just imagine the amount of dislikes I'd get if I made a PIANO COMPOSITION! If you're getting them, I'd probably have at least 20.

[Rusty8984]

@meldan100 I never could get AMS to work on my computer for some reason, so that one may never happen.

[meldan100]

@Rusty8984 Who said I meant you :P

No I don't mean myself.

[johannhowitzer]

It's the pitch bend in the opening that's a little rough, yeah, but the rest is your usual amazing. It's not to your discredit about the slide either, that's just impossible to execute perfectly. This is as good as it's going to get in MPC.

[RehdBlob]

To mirror M7's comment from a long time ago: I'm pretty sure it's illegal to be this awesome!

[herty140]

@RehdBlob See it's annoying because I originally came up with it >:l

[FecalSpat]

I understand what your going for with the Planes rising chromatically but it sounds awful in this program. Take out that Chromatic melody in the backround it makes this sound awful. In the intro. Besides that great work I love it!

[Lebraun77]

The beginning was a little harsh on my ears, but once you hit the mid section it flattened out nicely. I tend to agree with other comments unfortunately though, in that I neither love nor hate it.

[EsojestMort]

can't say i hate it, can't say i love it, actually.

i think it's composed relatively well but could be better in many parts, even without dickspeed.

it's impressive, nevertheless.

[Tulanediary]

This is great just like your other other DKC songs, keep it up Rusty!

[Rusty8984]

"This is gonna be one you either love, or hate I guess"

Wow, I wasn't kidding.

[Ultrathing]

This is so awesomeeee~

[cat333pokemon]

"9 likes, 3 dislikes"

I think some people need to learn the purpose of the Dislike button. Even if it uses the wrong time signature, it still sounds very good.

[ElectricPopTart18]

Wow, I hunch a hunch this was you! The 8-measure long files tipped me off lmao.

Honestly I quite liked this, despite what others have said. This is amazingly impressive for 975 tempo. The cars/planes actually do work for me in the beginning, and you really know how to stuff a lot of volume control in low tempo work. Awesome job, and classic Rusty style :-)

[TheCastro82]

Wow, I hadn't though that this song was possible with a tempo under 2000. I wish Mario Paint would have more octave choices, though, because the cars at the beginning sorta drag the composition an octave down. Nevertheless, they were right, and nearly everything in this MPC is spot on with the original. Very Nice job! :D

[mario7mario3]

maybe it could've been more cleaner if the files weren't 8 measures long the whole way through lol

but apart from that I love the volume control and techniques you used in a tempo 950, great job!!

[JohnFreeman1337]

ahhhh i should have known it was you!! thanks so much for making this, it's one of my favorite DKC songs! one of the best songs of all time, really! hope you had a merry christmas :D

[TheExarion]

Mm, mixed feelings about this, but I'll leave my comments as a combo of Fried and KM's :P

Nevertheless, nice work :)

[herty140]

I <3 you Rusty

[joemygod421]

Your videos bring me back to the good ol days playing this game. Keep up the good work!

[Baal0191]

It was pretty good, to me anyway.

[Friedfischer]

Awesome, first version with no dickspeed :-D

[kitchenmaniac111]

wow I actually hated this one sorry rusty

the cars and planes in the intro sound kind of bad

and the middle section's hearts need more dynamics

but I still love you and I think the jags should get RG3!!! because gabbert sucks

[Rusty8984]

@kitchenmaniac111 Both of those things are a product of this being 975 tempo. I couldn't use better instruments because cars were the only thing that held out, and I couldn't do dynamics on the bass because a lot of the time there were other things on the note, like percussion, that needed to be pronounced.

And yeah Gabbert sucks. :(

[kitchenmaniac111]

@Rusty8984 no here is what they should do

draft a quarterback in the middle rounds like ryan tannehill (who's this year's christian ponder so he might shoot up the draft board), kellen moore (who's a lefty drew brees), or kirk cousins

start gabbert next season because he will have a full offseason

if gabbert keeps getting scared in the pocket and they're not winning by week 5 pull him and put the rookie in

and then nothing is solved because they have no receivers :<

[Rusty8984]

@kitchenmaniac111 The best part though is that if they go QB in the mid round, they can go WR early!!
