Can someone ask Velvet or Mane In Green about the background image used in this video?:

Unless someone has a better idea for a background image (and cover crop), I'd like to use that one, but I've contacted them on Deviantart and Derpibooru respectively, but so far have not received a reply. Twitter is probably faster or something, but I don't have that.

Because other than artwork I've had this song done for almost two weeks already.
(please also leave a message in this thread so that they don't get flooded by half a dozen people or something, lol)

Well, there's probably still some small tweaks, but I'm getting consistenly around 8500 on Medium, and I won't get much higher than that due to my voice. There are some things I also consistently sing 'wrong' so either those pitches are incorrect, but I think it's more that my voice just doesn't like them.

Renard, you'll want to at least double check:
- pitch of "pens" and the second (=last) "friends" in each chorus
- there is one word in CAPSLOCK somewhere, in the first verse I believe: STUBBORN. The official lyrics have "calling" there instead, but it sounds like a 's' is in there as well, so I always hear 'stubborn' or 'stalling'. I think the timing and pitch is fine regardless of what is chosen, but I'm just not sure what to put on screen there
- timings/pitches around the golden "faaaaaaaaaast" (you'll know it when you see it)

I've (tried to) follow your advice about 1/2-length notes and space between syllables and words and linebreaks, but there are places where the song was just too fast etc.

Video's currently 1080p, but bitrate isn't that high.
Background is https://derpibooru.org/2175269 (obviously, feel free to change if you find something better)

PS: beware that if you're going to use Yass (ie, mp3) that GAP is probably different than the current ogg!



I started this like, ages ago, typed out my own lyrics, because back then the Bandcamp page didn't have any lyrics. Thankfully the Youtube version had lyrics in the description, so it gives at least some baseline. I didn't need to change much, just little things here and there.

125 sentences (and many of them not particularly short either). I need to do an easier song next.

With pitches: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lWKtqCyp-hoTnAIK_MKzdhkfXisdtrFG/view?usp=sharing
There's a few pitches that I'm still a bit onsure of, but the majority of them should be good.

NB: I did not touch any timings, except when I split a note in two because (I think) it was spread across two pitches. Did some test singing on Hard, not the greatest scores (around 5k, should be higher on a slower song like this*). Part of that is due to me having to "octave switch" at certain places, but the notes are also quite close together and in some places the timing feels a little bit off (enough to be noticable but close enough that it might be on my end, hence me not touching any timings yet).

Also, the "freestyle sentences" with the parentheses around them (towards the end of the song) were really distracting during my test singing. They go by very quickly, and there's a sentence directly after them. I left them in for now (linebreaks and some long sentences will probably need to be tweaked anyway) but I think I would just remove the freestyle sentences completely.

And no, I didn't mean that the Bandcamp version (or which video, or even what background/cover) has anything to do with developing the song, because it doesn't**. I meant it more as a "if this is to be released at some point, those assets will probably have to be updated, might as well do it now". But I usually first collect as many assets as I can before I even start, mostly because otherwise I will probably forget :D for now this is fine.

* this is still miles better than the average (non-pony) txt found on the internet
** there appears to be a GAP difference between mp3 and any other format. But especially if you're using Yass, you're kinda stuck with mp3.

Nice! This one has been on my personal todo list for a long time.

And maybe you were going to do this anyway, but:
- I can provide directly-from-bandcamp ogg for a release version (or any other format if that's easier to develop with) if it's needed. (going by the metadata of the mp3, I assume the current source is youtube? (which is totally fine to make the txt with))
- Background can be 1920x1080
- I'm not really a fan of these kind of videos, but have some youtube-dl'd ones (no audio) in 1080p or 720p: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UKmz5z_zAjhcaTtSxZP0fEpwJ-M6M8Re/view?usp=sharing

I'm calling pre-emptive dibs on this one:

I already started working on it well over a month ago, but I wasn't going to post it here until there was a Youtube release anyway. I had hoped to finish it last weekend (didn't know then it was going to premiere today) but stuff came up so I'm not entirely happy with it yet (~8300 on Medium is not "good enough").

And hopefully there will be lyrics somewhere because there's one or two sentences that I did almost certainly wrong.

I'm not sure om some of the first notes of a verse line; some of these are currently freestyled, some aren't but might not be right either. Video is currently 1080p but given it's only 25MB for almost 6 minutes, that shouldn't really cause any issues, and if it does, well, there's a reason there's a static background (720p would be around 9MB).

Finally, a version of this song that I actually like! (nothing wrong with the other one; I just don't like it)

Background is currently https://derpibooru.org/images/705909 but feel free to change that, eg the one from the non-concert version, or some screencap from the Argodaemon's Remembrance video, or just look for 'immortality blues' on derpibooru.
Cover and ogg are from le bandcamp

txt was at first taken from the version already in the game, BPM upped to 422.6 before I decided that was a bit too much and multiplied everything with 0.75. And then a bunch of changes of course, though some parts (especially the last few lines) were barely touched.

Unlike some other 4EB songs, this one has the 'feature' where pretty much every other sentence has a note that is either too low for me too sing or too high, depending on what octave I'm singing, making it frustratingly hard to test for me.

Cover: https://derpibooru.org/images/98693 (or alternatively, use https://bronikoni.bandcamp.com/track/keep-the-beat-alive-2018)
ogg directly from bandcamp

txt is based on the one already in the game, but BPM was doubled (and slightly modified) and some notes were edited. I didn't change any of the golden notes. I like both the 2013 and the 2018 version, but I've always hated the way some of the lines in the 2013 txt were split up.

There is this one line composed entirely made of golden notes, that one really needs timing corrections (it's very hard to hear what is what, so I just gave up on that one)

(Renard your tips were sometimes difficult to apply here. I did shorten a few notes here and there to make Yass a bit happier, but there are places where it's just not very possible)

I can't even remember the last time something relatively unrelated showed up in my YouTube recommendations and it wasn't some dumb monetized video on lawn care or something. Whether this recent development is a good or a bad thing, eh, that's your choice.

Background and cover are by statushka: https://derpibooru.org/1250709 resp https://derpibooru.org/2087858
but feel free to change these because I don't think they really match the song

Ogg converted from the wav listed in the youtube description

I didn't bother with video because there's some insane amount of colourbanding going on

Artist was kind enough to share the background (thank you, SiMonk0), so without further ado:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jZrQ0tqZpqwtHjc0NxwCit53fo3K98xy

Some (long) notes might need to be shortened by 1 beat, otherwise this is very much done! Sadly, no instrumental track for this one.

Sources:
- Background by SiMonk0
- Cover is the Poni album cover
- ogg is directly from Bandcamp

This one is essentially done. I'm waiting for a better resolution of the background image before I post it here.
(basically, I'm claiming this one)

It's fine if Renard wants the txt already so that he can check it and whatnot (PM me) but please hold off releasing it until there is a better background. Currently I'm just using the youtube thumbnail because frames from the video have ruined colors anyway, but also have this visualizer thingy going on.

Done, see https://www.mylittlekaraoke.com/forum/index.php?topic=2100.0

Had an absolute blast working on this one!

You have a PM :)

[the #GAP of the instrumental is slightly different than the regular version]

Background source: https://www.deviantart.com/cosmicunicorn/art/eclipsed-252351884 (slightly edited, top black bar was moved to bottom)
Cover source: https://derpibooru.org/963997

Download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WJKFlbaY58Yboc_sFHn7jS67AQbkT9an

Remarks:
- songs aren't normalized yet, these mp3's are what is for download in de YT source (and yes they're only 192 kbps)
- you might want to freestyle the first note on some sentences, and there are some other notes which can really be either of D, E, F# or G depending on how you sing them, with none of them sounding so bad that "that can't be it". For added difficulty the song uses different tones for the same line throughout the song.
- if you make changes, the #GAP of the instrumental is slightly different than the regular version

[If you make tweaks: the #GAP of the instrumental is 850 smaller than the regular song]

The regular song is the remastered version, not sure if the instrumental is the remaster too but I think so?

Cover: from the bandcamp remastered page: https://4everfreebrony.bandcamp.com/track/emerald-eyes-ft-relative1pitch
Background: https://derpibooru.org/1844590

Random remarks:
- Some currently split notes might just be a single note, I can't really tell
- If you need to normalize the audio, you can ask me for lossless versions (current .ogg's are straight from Bandcamp)
- If you make tweaks: the #GAP of the instrumental is 850 smaller than the regular song - the notes themselves are the same, just don't blindly copy over the entire file

Does it have an "Assigned Player" (or whatever it's called, it's the one below the "Channel" I think)? Because it sounds like it should work at this point, or at least it shouldn't be a flat line in-game.

Also check all the other sound cards/channels to see if something is still mapped to a player that shouldn't be.

(disclaimer: I don't run this on Windows, nor do I have these extra applications. But it shouldn't really matter)

It needs some final tweaks ("nur" "noch" and the "Ist" in the 3rd sentence, for example), and some of the currently split notes might actually be just a single note, but I can't judge on this. It's already very singable on Medium (>9500 points), with Hard hovering around the 7k mark. The things that need to be looked at are all comparatively short notes.

Also: the E2 staff apparently has some really high quality event videos of this and the rest of the Rammpon3 performance. I don't have them.

Description has a WAV download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/amyifk1606kks90/Sight_for_Sore_Eyes_%28with_4EverfreeBrony.wav/file

Cover: dunno, it is on various other platforms, maybe just grab one from there?
Background: dunno, I was not able to find a high resolution version of the video background anywhere (there is a text-free still at 4:18 in the video, but there's so much colour banding going on...). But given the characters, there should be no shortage of relevant pictures on Derpibooru, I guess.

Lyrics:

Code Select Expand

I lost my way to outer space
Where the lighthouse guides me home
Now I'm out of time, and out of place
All the rocket ships have gone
And I think of childhood memories
Looking up into the dark
When we whispered words on everything
And we wondered why we are

So when you come back
Tell me how it was
I'll be okay
I'll be alright because

You're a sight for sore eyes
And I want to know the days of your life
The ghosts and waterfalls
The ways that you shine
So much brighter
You're a sight for sore eyes
You're a shooting star
And I'm old, and tired

There's a taste of salt rich on my tongue
Rising tides to drown my fears
And they pull me under, fill my lungs
Singing silence in my ears
Oh the stars are brilliant and bright
When the light has dimmed away
And the ocean's beautiful at night
As I sink beneath the waves
As you surround me
I almost feel alive
And in the deep
It's like I'm in the sky

You're a sight for sore eyes
And I want to know the days of your life
The ghosts and waterfalls
The ways that you shine
So much brighter
You're a sight for sore eyes
You're a breaking wave
And I'm not a fighter

Oh, when I come back down from the other side
And there's nothing left to hide
Will you be there, will you be there
And when I've given up all of the strength in me
And I'm nothing but your memory
When I'm prepared, will you be there?

You're a sight for sore eyes
Like a miracle
And I'm paralyzed within your beautiful cold
A sight for sore eyes
And I want to know the days of your life
The ghosts and waterfalls
The ways that you shine
So much brighter
You're a sight for sore eyes
You're the weight of the world, and you lift me higher
