Umm... Just to let you know, I don't think you're aloud to double post. Let alone triple post. I mean you don't have to constantly post what you're doing and I don't think you need to constantly update what you're doing etc. Just a simple "I will finish this piece by so and so" is sufficient as long as the requester knows that you're working on it on that due date. Also, time spent on writing up posts could be easily spent on working on the pieces. Typing things distracts your attention to compose and eventually as the time accumulates, if you were to continue do this, the longer it will take to finish a piece. Though since composers have different mindsets on how they deal with things, maybe you're not the type of person who would get distracted or something. Just a little comment about what you're doing here but nothing harsh Just keep composing and giving people the content.

Thanks for your advice Evano, but here is why I am doing what I am doing:

For this, I thank you. There was nothing about it in the Sound and Music forum rules, but on the general GMC rules there is, forgive me :'(

I understand that for most people, this is very true. But I'm different - sometimes I do not have access to the computer I compose on, so I use my phone to update the topic while I'm waiting. So that is why a lot of time is spent updating the topic.

I am the sort of person who likes to multitask, if you see my computer when I'm using it you will see about 50 windows open...
Besides, it's the holidays so I have heaps of time available to compose, so there shouldn't be a problem

Thanks for taking the time to inform me of this

How are you going with the sound effects?

[icymx]

Not bad... They aren't done yet though.

[DaRk_bLaDe]

Not a problem

[Misu]

Don't forget to update the front page. I requested for another song, remember? Let me know when you are going to start the other also.

[icymx]

Ah yes...
About the front page.
Well, Evano suggested I stop wasting my time updating it so now I'm just going to remove the works in progress and the finished projects part...
I will keep updating the status though.

hi epic fish.
i was just wondering how the piece was coming.
im rather exited because i am impressed by your other work.
thank you.

[icymx]

Thanks for your comment
Your piece has been started and is about 10-20% complete. I was also wondering, the closest premade sound I can use to the example is a trumpet, or I could make my own synthetic version, however knowing me this might completely fail 0.o
What do you think?

[WarehouseGames]

Thanks for giving me two pieces of brilliant work. it is very good! Thank you!

[icymx]

My pleasure
Would you like anything else?

[land of games]

hi
i can understand how a piece like this could be hard to do.
in the movie the alien was playing a wierd sax thing. but as this doesent actually exist that could be hard. the origional song that luckas used was piano.
so a mix of trumpet, sax (if you have it) and piano + percussion will do very well. thank you.

[icymx]

Ok I'm going fine, I got an oboe sound and I've made the first 19 seconds... Would you like to hear it?

EDIT: Here you go

EDIT: The file has been updated so yeah... that's the song for you
Also if you want to you can cut the last 12 seconds or so off, because for some reason the note held too long >_<

Darkblade:
Honestly I have given up on SFX so yeah... Find someone else to do it for you.

Misumen:

Firstly, Random Floaty Things Are Floaty
And your second song - Who Turned The Lights Off

Epic i dont think that is what he meant.

I think he meant to stop telling people what you are doing in replies to this post.

Like in a reply u said:

"Darkblade
sent you a PM"

I think that is what he meant

[icymx]

I know, but constantly updating the first post applies as well.

[land of games]

hello epicfish
how do I download this?

[land of games]

epic fish it jst comes up as windows media player and i cant download from that.

[icymx]

What you do is:

1. Right click the link

2. Click "Save Target As", "Save Link As", or similar button (Depends on your browser)

3. Save to wherever you like

4. Import to your game / your game's resource folder

5. Also (Completely off-topic) I suggest downloading Chrome if you still use Internet Explorer, it is faster, more secure and generally better
