Super Mario Galaxy - Battlerock Galaxy - Finale Notepad

[XY237]

what do the red notes mean??????

[blademiss]

Super Mario Galaxy has become nostalgic now. I love the music used in the game. This music is amazing. Maybe this is how they made the music for the game. :P

[3mot30]

[TheOrganicWW]

is it ok to say that I FREAKING LOVE YOU???

[8MasterX]

One question. Why is the snare drum music an octave below the staff?

[WanderingFilms]

@8MasterX drums are a little messed up on finale notepad

[GeneralStarshade14]

wow how you managed to make this sound soooooo much like the original i will never know

[TheDarkLordofSaxes]

Thumbs up if GRonnoc should get more subscribers!

[TheDarkLordofSaxes]

This sounds EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!

SO EPICALLY AMAZING!!!

500 million thumbs up!

You'll go far, GRonnoc. Good luck with more compositions.

[wolflink119]

not to sound hypercritical or anything...

but if you have the soundtrack then listen to the matter splatter theme and use that to write the synth part

dont just guess

that's what i did and it turned out pretty well

[LIANG14]

Love it!! To let you know, that poor oboe player is going to end up having an aneurysm with all those high B's!

[GRonnoc]

@LIANG14

....there's no oboe in this song...

[LIANG14]

@GRonnoc Oh, sorry, I thought the top said ob. Damn Youtube video quality!

[MarioAwSoMeNeSs321]

holy crap i love the music but HATE levels

[Yosef271]

the 4th line down, what instrument is that?

[GRonnoc]

@Yosef271 That's the upper strings!

[Yosef271]

@GRonnoc so those could be seen as violin notes? (my actual question)

[GRonnoc]

@Yosef271 Yeah they could haha.

[Yosef271]

@GRonnoc Sorry. I forgot to watch the beginning. I'd like to play this on my violin, so thanks, a lot!

[nintendo1889x]

HOLY crap!

[TheBigCheezeIt]

by EAR!?!? you are uh-may-zing!

[Brassman388]

Just curious, do you use Garriton Orchestra? Sound's way better than my finale midi. Anyways, really good job with the piece, very impressive. You should include cymbal crashes with the timpani hits that you included. Just a suggestion. Very good overall.

[juggernoud1]

This is AMAZING my friend!! You did a great job!!

[Valo778]

Wow! If you made this yourself, I think you should work for Nintendo's orchestra. I mean, just listen to that beautiful piece!

I actually think this sounds better than the original one.

20/10 stars! Yeah, that's right, you broke the star rate meter.

[axxuka]

Thank you ! I can play it with the original one now ! =D

[NotTheBoom]

Lol, Tuba was Timpani.

Win.

[goniochromism]

just wanna say i think you did a great job with this. there's been a lot of trashy midis from this game submitted to vgmusic so it's good to see someone getting it right :P

[SpinelessScales]

WOW WOW WOW this is my favorite song from SMG. You did an AWESOME job on this! What version is this? It sounds much better than the 2007 version I have!

[GRonnoc]

Thanks! This is '07, but I changed the string sounds to "string ensemble" because the normal string sounds are terrible, and I added reverb.

You can do all that by going to windows->Instrument List

[SpinelessScales]

I don't think I can do it. I got free download of it

[reflega57]

amazing as always. great job.

[st0pm0ti0n]

how much does his program cost and where can i get it?

[WanderingFilms]

It's $10 on makemusic's website.

Google it.

[LethalBulldog]

This sounds EXCACTLY like the game music for Super Mario Galaxy. You did a GREAT job on this!

[GRonnoc]

If you go to the top of the screen and hit Window>Instrument List, you can open a list of all the instruments. All you do is change the different layers by clicking the dropdown menu, and making a new instrument.

I do that for transposing instruments like Bb trumpet or Horn in F, by changing the sound of a non-transposing instrument like a guitar.

It's much easier to make the music that way. I also use that feature for stuff like two different volumes of timpani (green is much louder).

[RobManSica]

I'm Mario's biggest fan!

BTWW Connor I was wodering on the top of my head if you are tone death or not? Haha jk... you REALLY have to be talented to pull that off! Sucks that notepad isn't free anymore.

[GRonnoc]

Yeah, I was planning on upgrading to the newer version until I saw I had to pay for it.

Do you have Super Mario Galaxy? I'm really close to the end, I'm stuck on the final galaxy on the way to Bowser.

Those darn bonzai bills get me every time!

[igotsthepower9000]

get a second player and get him to hold them off.

[WanderingFilms]

well, since my comment I've beaten the level that way. Thanks anyway.

[ThePotterman10]

@RobManSica Did you know he's ..... LEFT HANDED!?

[gDisk12]

finale is just like mario paint except you can choose actual instruments.

[GRonnoc]

I'd say it's a far cry from mario paint.

[KenZomg]

Whoa, awesome!

If I could subscribe more than once, I would!

[KNDoperative]

i kept thinking at places where the tuba had the melody that that one high pitched note would be natural, not sharp. Oh, well.

[GRonnoc]

The tuba never has the melody. I think what you're hearing is the French horn and trombone.

Which note do you mean? The one at 1:22?

[Novaequalsftw]

also; prince of egypt (lolol)

[GRonnoc]

What?

[KNDoperative]

it would have sounded even cooler at 1:18 if there was a snare that kept the beat. it wasn't in the origional song, but i just think it would sound cool. Anyway, as normal: 5/5

[GRonnoc]

There IS a snare playing at 1:18. It's just a little too quiet. The snares in finale notepad don't sound good, so I didn't want it to be too loud and ruin the other better sounding parts.

[KNDoperative]

ahh. that makes sence.

[moccalou]

Holy druida explosives, Batman! Are you just a genius prodigy at notating music by ear, or can you compose convoluted songs that sound this good as well?

[GRonnoc]

I'm not one for composing - I couldn't make up a tune if I tried, not for a full orchestra anyway.

[houndoom1234]

A-a-a-...AMAZING.

[randomyoshi]

Sounds fantastic!

[dekusnake]

wow

[Novaequalsftw]

and it's brilliantly done xD

[Novaequalsftw]

phew, I got my notepad just in time xD

[GuruXander6060]

Brilliant! Very accurate, especially by ear!

[Lihyahm]

This is great!
