Mario Paint Composer: Zelda Mabe Village Follow Step-by-step
Uploaded by: axelrod777
Video Description:
I decided I would do something different this time. This time, I recorded everything. Everything I did to compose Mabe Village from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. I sped it up 2x to avoid monotony, and added a song.
Song: The Bagel Song
Go to about 5:10 for the finished piece if you don't feel like watching the whole thing.
Yes I know it's simple and not very fancy, but if I did one of my big, epic pieces I wouldn't be able to fit the whole composition process onto one video. I chose a small and recognisable tune from a great game.
An analysis to help newcomers and those interested:
At about 0:03 I listen to a midi I downloaded of the song to get the rough tempo, and I make a simple beat and alter the tempo to about what it should be.
At 0:29 I start to construct the melody using the sheet music. I used MidiNotate Player (or Notation Player) to convert a midi to readable sheet music.
At 0:36 I calculate and fix the tempo then proceed with the melody.
At 1:38 I listen to the melody to make sure it sounds right, then continue with the melody.
At 2:15 I realize that the melody goes up to a high D, which does not exist, so I try to see what sounds good. I settle for a low D and listen again to make sure it sounds right.
At 2:43 I tweak the melody to fill in empty space by adding cars to hold the notes longer.
At 3:14 I start adding the background part.
At 3:40 I decide to bring the background up an octave so it can be heard better (and there is no low A, which is required).
At 4:27 I take a final listen.
At 4:54 I save.
At 5:10 you can hear the finished product.
