DKC Atlas Forum

I was here to follow projects and maybe write music for them but then people stopped using the forum to update their projects so I kinda became without a purpose. I check back in every once in a while but I never seem to have a reason to actually post.

I keep forgetting that the instagram and facebook page are the best way to get updates for this now.

That took me a second, but then I had a good chuckle.

Just dying, y'know?

midi creation is a lot of extra work on my end, not particularly worth it.

It's been months and my free time has reached an all time low, and even as such I've had a hard time finding the music when I am free, but today I made some progress on both a DKCesque tune and an original style tune, so maybe be on the look out for that, because I might actually be able to figure s...

I guess I should focus on composing again

[...] I believe in full diversity of opinion (unlike a certain company), even if that opinion includes racism.[...] You're a straight white male, aren't you? While respecting the opinions of others is generally a reasonable thing to do, opinions which disrespect the existence of other people, espec...

I hope they never bring back the kremlings

Perhaps it's the result of the Mandela effect again.

I also have this strange memory of Kutlass appearing in Stronghold Showdown after it had been cleared for the first time but I haven't been able to recreate this memory in 17 years.

I'm pretty sure I have the same memory of Rattly in a fez

"I wish the two of you the best, milady/good sir." Thanks, quick side note, though...

I'm male.

But yes, I actually started a song today, it might turn out to be something good, it's got some jungle vibes to it.

Thank you for your understanding. If it's any consolation, my boyfriend is quite musically inclined as well, so as a team I might be able to produce better music and more often than before, once I manage to find the time and the inspiration again.

Sorry, I've been really busy with work and (as much as I hate to say it) my relationship, it hasn't left a lot of time for me to work on music, and even when I do have time, I don't feel very inspired. I have been working on a tune, but it's not DKC related, so it won't be posted here, but on my you...

While I personally cannot help you here, it might be easier and less cluttered if instead of starting a new topic every time you need something, you ask for everything in one topic all together. It saves space that way.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22

Thank you very much, I'm honoured to be compared to David Wise, he's one of my musical idols. All of the instruments except for the percussion, the pad I used for the chords, and the reverse cymbal are DKC Trilogy samples, so to say that the bassline is reminiscent of what David used to use is very ...

The Life in the mines sounds you're referring to isn't actually a straight rip of the sample. I used a particular voice instrument (DKC1's synth voice, I believe) and used a pitch bend to make that particular effect. I can see what you mean about it not being harmonious, though. I guess I was a litt...

So as I've been coming a little more out of my shell here, making myself a little known for my musical works, I thought maybe I'd start a topic dedicated to my music. I mean, I started really existing musically here when I brought up my DKC mashups, and then I really started to appear when I started...

I quite enjoyed it, the flow was good, and I'm excited to see Krow.

No I am not NecroToad, but I did still do some music for the DKC4 project, namely the twilight temple theme in the latest demo.

Well if you need help with music, I could probably help there.

I'm gonna take the credit for the temple song, because that was 100% me. Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

Remember when you guys asked for me to fix the saxophone is "Return to Donkey Kong Island"? Well I replaced it with a flute which is a little less abrasive, so hopefully it'll be more suited to your liking. I did this to both versions, so you can have the flute with or without the musical ...

In a few weeks I should have saved enough money to feasibly buy FL studio, so I should be able to fix the map themes then, but until then, I won't be hurt if you use some other theme as a placeholder... Or as the theme permanently. While we wait around for that, I did a ruins theme, or really a them...

I have some bad news regarding that request. I'm assuming it's the saxophone that you have a problem with, and while I'd love to help you and change or remove it, I really would, I can't. The program I use, FL Studio, is only a demo, and while technically I can save projects with this demo, the demo...

I tell lies, apparently. I had extra time after work and a smidge of inspiration, so I drew up this quick diddle instead of waiting for monday or tuesday to work on it. I did two versions of the 49 second map theme, but you'll notice that they're basically identical except for a slight difference cl...

I can start work on a map theme monday or tuesday, if you'e willing to wait that long.

It's always nice to hear progress about the project, and I know I personally don't mind demos coming out, because it gives us a chance to really experience all the hard work you guys are putting into the project.

Also I'm just excited to play a game with music I wrote in it.

So I finished the theme, and while composing/creating/remixing it was no struggle, the exportation was a bit of an issue, as the same thing happened to me that happened while I was doing call of the jungle. Thankfully it was about half exported when my computer restarted at random so I was able to o...

Yeah I do remember Samuel had put forth something and I think he had intended it to be used for the opening stage. Regardless, I also have an idea for a theme, so I'll get into the competitive spirit and give something a try.

My condolences, Phyre. Sorry for your loss

I honestly 100% should have seen that coming, because every other things that has ended like that, I've been ready for it, but this one took me by surprise, somehow.

Well, I finished another tune for you guys, if you wanna use it. It's a jungle theme, more DKC2 and DKC3 fitting, I think, and funny enough, it works with the DKC forest archetype, too, but it doesn't seem to suit the DKC jungle... But hey, it's up to you how you guys use it, and I think it could wo...

I did not know this. Thanks for that tidbit...

That's weird how that works, I'm used to something being trapped in an outbox while it's trying to be sent, then once it's sent, it's no longer present in an outbox.

Qyzbud I sent you a pm, but It's trapped in my outbox, I guess? So I'm thinking that means it didn't go through.

Okay, so I finished another composition that could potentially be used for the DKC4 fan game project. The problem is that while I was exporting the song, my computer did this thing where it restarts without even asking first. I did save a project file (for once), however, I don't use the full versio...

I personally got a disco train vibe from the bassline

Wise oak elegy was my forest theme, and you could get that from my soundcloud.

UNLESS you meant like a basic forest theme, instead of an enchanted forest theme. I don't have one of those yet. Not really sure how to go about that, yet.

Well, I'm not really sure what to use, because it seems like a lot of things don't really suit my needs exactly. but from now on I can also provide a download link for the songs I upload to pico song, just in case someone can't listen to them and download them from here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b9...

Looking at level archetypes I hadn't covered yet, I realized that I hadn't contributed a lava theme yet, so my latest composition is a hot head bop replacement for you guys to use, if you'd like. DKC version http://picosong.com/m4PP/ Modernized Version http://picosong.com/m4Pr/

Markster and I share a birthday, I guess. Except I'm 21.

I'm not a pro account holder on soundcloud... So I've run out of space, and can no longer upload songs to it. I'm very irritated by this fact, but I guess that's the life I live. From now on, I guess I'm pico song-ing it, unless you guys have a better suggestion. So I made a generalized vehicle them...

I unfortunately don't have a lot of skill or knowledge in the sound mixing area. I understand the flatness you're speaking of, but I'm not quite sure what you mean about pushing to limiter too hard, and am even less sure about how to fix that. I'd appreciate tips.

I'm sorry to hear about that bad news, but I'm glad to hear that work on the project is continuing. I've also completed a forest theme. It's more DKC2 enchanted forest than it is DKC1 forest in my opinion but I'm sure you could make it go either way, depending on how the level was structured. DKC Sa...

I love it. I didn't think I was going to inspire an idea for a new level with my song. I just thought I was supplying music for levels that were already in the works. It looks like an amazing concept, and I think it matches amazingly.

I'm just gonna keep randomly submitting themes on the off chance that you need them. Atmospheric mine theme, might be aquatic, might be icy, might just be mine like. Enjoy DKC Samples Version: https://soundcloud.com/dhkeizer/secrets-of-the-coal-donkey-kong-country-trilogy-sounfont Modernized Version...

So I gave a try at DK's victory fanfare, and came up with something quick and light and jazzy for him, mostly because that's what I think of when I think of the bass anyway. It was kinda tough to make the bass into the main instrument of the piece, and even harder to make it seem like he was really ...

Slowly becoming the double post king because I always have something to add that won't be noticed if I just edit it in..... I know that there was a castle level in the custom levels thread, and while it also showcased lava, I found it was still more castle-like. I ended up composing a castle theme,...

Yeah, I sorta know what you mean. I was rolling with the song because that's where it was taking me, but I'm not sure if I was truly happy with the end result. I just couldn't find a way to make it better, and closer to what I might have wanted.
