Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This is a GREAT song. Your intro is great, your climax is small but awesome, and the music feels like your in a villin’s hideout which is a feeling I like sometimes…anyway…the song does have a flaw in it and that’s you stop compleatly in the middle, then the rest of the song trys to compensate for it. Nevertheless, I’m still going to download it, and maybe use it in a level or two because it loops(Another fine point to the song). I totaly recommend this song for downloading.

mutters about something about rating converted music, and the admins removing ratings because of this

This IS better than your Chrysillis MIDI in terms of notation, but there are still a few inconsistencies with the placing of notes.
The bass and high notes going along with it are a few semitones off from the original key. This may be the fault of Modplugtracker since it takes the note placings STRAIGHT from the MOD files.
The timing of notes is definetly improved, but can you work on the percussion? They’re playing odd notes and wrong percs.

This deserves a 9 for improvement… and now I’m getting ideas of doing this song to MIDI as well.. :P

Delvour: Steinberg Cubase eh? I think you’re better off with something like WinJammer Pro to do your midi work, because that program can be a pain to use.

MIDI conversation = conversion
Off-Tempo = Needs quantization.

It’s an OKAY attempt, except I think it was a bit of a risky idea of using a complex program such as Cubase, to work with a MIDI like this.
At least you tried, the difficulty of making something like this is practical to a lot of people…

What this MIDI needs is a little better orientation. The notes aren’t synchronized to the metronome. (Needs quantization.) Do I get the feeling you recorded each track on piano?
I reckon another revision with the notes should be in place; at least straighten out the note places. The part where the bass (you put it as toms) is supposed to play, put that down a few octaves and change it to the SYNTH BASS 2 preset.
Oh yeah, see if you can add a pitch bend on the saws, and you got a complete midi.

its so good !!!

Whoa! Another review to ruxxoring song, which has to be renewed…

Technoir in a great style. That’s describe of this tune in five words. How Joeph Collins said, this is how Technoir has to be.

Samples are good, they are very well fitting into the song, sound quality of them is good enough. Rhythm is stable beat – hi-hat – snare – hi-hat, and it perfectly fits into tune.

All details in song like quiet melody playing after orchestra hits or 2:36 make this song just great.

(+) Technoir in great style
(-) Nothing more

Now, forget to original Technoir. This is better than original in all ways. Not much original stuff, it’s just original improved by 200 %. Use it in your levels, in your mp3players. And use loud speakers.

This a pretty good remix of Technoir.

First off, great instrument choice. All of the instruments chosen really go with the Technoir theme. The variation is also good, the song stays iteresting the whole time.
Now, onto the things that could be improved. You could speed up the progression a bit; you didn’t get to the melody until 1:00, and then when you only held it for 2 measures, it sounded way too short compared to the way the drums and bass had been building up for 1 minute. After the orchestra hits, I sort of missed the “Jackrabbit” and guitars, but that’s just me. The slow section came without much transition, it mostly just snapped into the new tempo. You should have either a buildup, or have some of the instruments calm down before the slow section.

Overall, a great song that could use a few improvements. Great job!
Download reccomended.

Hmmm

i like this one a bit. song length is good, and sound effects fit. or something like that. i suck at writing big reviews to music files, so this review shall be short. ;o
well, its a very good remix, which deseerves a download recommedation.

Yep. I love chrysillis and all it’s remixes. But this is a nice one. And it’s even .s3m so you can use it for jazz. This rocks. The tunes are very nice and it’s a nice song at all. Quite well done job.

In the beginning, there is this… Strange.. Stuff. In the background, the speed is all wacky but the tunes are quite good. I couldn’t hear the Piano thing on my comp. You can still recall the original Castle music in it, and I also hear one instrument that the original has too. Good work, Delvour!(Who said that that was a Nice Theory?) But you can always do better!

7.2[This review has been edited by Spazie]

Well, both Danyjel and Spazgax, I use Steinberg Cubasis VST (4.0). And Danyjel, this it’s awfull, you think that I didn’t created the MIDI!!?? That hurts ;), I can honestly tell you that it was I who created the MIDI!

Well, i think this was made with ‘modplug tracker’.
Let me review it.

1: Instruments:

Good, there are variably tunes and
that piano sound is not really a big problem, here’s a fat 7.0!

2: Creation:

Good greated, it’s a good and i think… BETTER remake of the JJ@
MOD version, i was allmost going
to dance with it. (7.5)

3: big/small

Not really long for a midi, but
that’s not the point, you
can repeat it more times for fun.
It’s long annough to like it! (7.5)

4: The rating:

I like it and i hope the other downloaders too. The only point
is that it is a MIDI, if it
was a MOD, you can play it
in your JJ2 levels.
But it’s good to play under
your level creation.

Download: Yes

The rating: 7.0!!

stup rhythm. avg samples.

I didn’t listen to the MIDI before releasing it… I thought that it would sound like in Cubasis, but it did not… But now I’ve re-uploaded the file![This review has been edited by Delvour]

Oh, man sorry, but I don’t like this MIDI conversation…
Samples: Some is good selection, but more is bad. The main melody’s piano instrument is ok, and the string (aka. luvhorn in the original mod) is good. The bass instrument starts at 1:03 is terrible. The drums are ok. The sound at 1:08 is way different than the original one too.
Structure: It’s bad. And if it’s bad it makes the whole song wrong. Sorry, but there are various reasons I say that. Like the main melody. It’s fall out of the rhythm! The string sometimes need to be play longer width.
Overall: If you fix the things I had wroten, it will be a nice midi, but sorry now I can give 4.0 by these reasons. Just don’t give up!

It sounds ok, yeah the tempo is off. But It’s one of my favorite songs! Good try though

I agree. The tempo’s a bit off, but it’s very good otherwise. It sounds like the original, but it could use some work. Nice first tune, though.

Midi’s are becoming the rage it seems. Midi’s everywhere! I guess I’m gonna review this to get it over with… I’m sure nobody will come after me ;p

Melody
Ok, how am I gonna say this? Melody’s complete, but one thing totally ruins the usefullness of this midi: the tempo is irregular. Lemme expand on that: the tempo of the different parts are out of whack: one part speeds up while another slows down. Result: a song that doesn’t know when to speed up or to slow down. Also, some parts come a tick too soon or late. Tip: Next time, pick a higher rate so there’s more room for more notes in a single second.

Instruments
(Just a quick reminder, I’m using the GS wavetable) That’s the only good thing about this song. Having the classic piano playing in the background (kinda like the original Crysilis, and yes, it’s spelled without an “h”) is a great touch, but the rest of them are fairly standard instruments, except for the tuba.

Verdict
Good idea, badly executed. Mainly the irregular tempo makes this song’s rating drop dramatically. I’d recommend if it didn’t have that problem. For now, it’s worth a lousy 5. If the tempo problem’s fixed: a 6.5 to a 7.

- JelZe GoldRabbit =:3

[edit: tempo problems are for the most part fixed, but some parts still sound off tempo: they either come a split-second too soon or too late. Their individual tempo are mostly regular tho. Given the tracker tried to fix, I’ll raise the rating a notch. Original rating: 5][This review has been edited by JelZe]
