MrHawi Music For Rpg Maker games Options

[X-M-O]

It totally sounds like a cat is running up and down the piano at the beginning; which is a cool effect. XD

I really like the tempo progressions throughout, and it's definitely not a boring soundtrack.

[mrhawi]

Thanks for the response X-M-O, I liked the concept of "a cat running up and down the piano" =).

Another theme (this time a Happy Theme):

Un Pequeño Descanso (A little rest)

I hope that you like it, =)

[X-M-O]

It sounds pretty, almost like a lullaby mixed in with a "Tales Of" theme song.
I definitely like it.
(If you make a Party Mix version of it, you can still call it Siesta, right? )

[mrhawi]

Thanks for the response =D , next time I will try to make another version of that song.

New SONG!!:

New Theme

=D

[X-M-O]

O_O;

This is my new favourite song!! It's simply beautiful!

Yes, girls like guitars, but this is amazing despite the slight bias!
Keep making music like this, and keep improving it, because this is awesome!

[mrhawi]

@X-M-O: Oh, thanks!, I'm glad that you liked it. I hadn't noticed that you were a girl xD. Thanks for comment, it motivates me a lot =).

Another song, this one was made by me and another composer (a friend), our styles are a bit different, but as a first try it's ok for me.

Secante de Laralay

I hope that you like it! =D.


P.S: Sorry about my bad english (A)

[Fateliante]

Hey, mrhawi! Just thought I'd give my thoughts on your latest work, Secante de Laralay. I honestly thought it was well done, I loved the melody. The climax of the song at around 0:32 - 1:00 was fantastic and good usage of percussion. Interesting, this song has a mountainous flow to it, start of the song also ends in the same way but with tempo adjustments. Great work!

[mrhawi]

Ohh, thanks for the response Fateliante, the percussion, the percussion was made by my friend (he is from easter island, so he has that singular style), I'm glad that you like it!

Now I'm testing some vst, I made this:

TLoZ Overworld Theme (Cover By MrHawi)

it has some mistakes, but it's ok for me, I hope that you like it =)

[Fateliante]

Hey, mrhawi, really good job in covering Legend of Zelda Overworld Theme, I take it that you're covering it from the very first LoZ title released for Nintendo? I like the VSTs that you've used for this one, it works really well. This could work for a more modern remake it'd actually be pretty neat! In terms of the mistakes you've mentioned, I really can't pinpoint all that many if any on there, it's barely noticable.
Any more covers you're planning on releasing?

[MrGuy0250]

Ah, a classic theme, and you did it justice. As Fateliante said, any mistakes you claim to have made go pretty much unnoticed. Good job Which VST were you testing?

[mrhawi]

@Fateliante: Hey, thanks for your comment! Yeah, I was inspired on the overworld theme from NES, well I covered my mistakes playing the wrong notes with a little velocity, I guess that is the reason because the mistakes are unnoticed, thanks again for your response =).

@MrGuy0250: Wow, thanks for your comment, it motivates me! And I was testing Edirol Orchestra VST =).

Another theme, this one is original:

I have a hero, his name is...

I hope that you like it =)

PS: SOrry about my bad english xD

[Fateliante]

Bring out the medal, our noble hero has returned! This is really good stuff, mrhawi. I can definitely hear the LoZ Overworld Theme influence on this one with small hints of Chrono Trigger OST Frog Theme. Nevertheless, this makes out to be a nice original piece. Did you use Edirol Orchestral for this song? If so, I'm loving it. Great melody written, the brass section and timpani combo really brings out the best of this song, and of course, makes it hero-worthy. Great job, I've taken keen interest in a lot of your music, mrhawi. Keep doing what you do best!

[X-M-O]

After being away so long I have to catch up on all this music! I'm happy!

Secante De Laralay almost has a French tone to it, but keeps to what sounds like a carnival theme. =]

Overworld Theme - Zelda sounds almost perfect! It's one of my favourite theme songs, so of course I have to be critical of it.
The musical notes are off slightly in several locations, but you did well enough. I think by making it flow the way you did, the notes were less noticeable. Of course that does give it a more artificial tone (it's hard to play that many notes and for that long on a wing instrument without taking a breath, lol), so it gets an artificial sound from the compression of the notes (too smooth, I guess is how I could say it).
Very good though, overall. I have heard lots of versions of this theme and most of them screw it up badly (or play it so fast that you don't know what you just heard). You have the right tempo, but if you were to get all of the notes correct and put more emphasis into each note (allowing it to be played and to rest before the next note; where applicable), then I think it would turn out much better.

I Have A Hero, His Name Is... definitely sounds like it could come off of the LoZ theme (as Fateliante mentioned), but it has its own unique melody. It's a nice piece, though it's rather short. (I guess I say that to you a lot, sorry - lol.) XD
It definitely meets the "hero music" style (which is why it comes close to matching the LoZ theme music), so the title really suits it. =]
(It suits it also because it ends too soon, like the title does, lol.) =D

[mrhawi]

Fateliante: You are the hero from the song xD, because your music is awesome. I'm glad that you liked my song, and you got it right, I was inspired on LoZ theme (I used some scales from the overworld theme xD). Thanks for your comment =).

X-M-O: I'm glad that you liked my song. Well, you are right in your critic about my cover, and all of those mistakes are because I suck using FL studio (I mean technically), but I know how to fix those mistakes. I need to practice even more now, thanks for your help, I will try to improve =).

Well, another theme:

Gwhehehe: Strange name, strange song, this is for a "bad but fun villain".

I hope that you like it =)

You're right! It does sound like a bad but fun villain, lol.
If the Joker didn't have the theme he already has, this would do well for him. XD
Maybe even the Riddler actually.

[mrhawi]

Thanks for the response =).

Desert Theme

=)

[X-M-O]

That's a really cool desert theme; sounds like one I've heard from a "Tales Of" game I played once before.
It's pretty smooth and fairly short (lol), but it sounds excellent.

[mrhawi]

Oh! thanks for the response X-M-O, I should break that 1 min per song limit, but I can't, I tried to make it longer...

No Name Song

=)

[Fateliante]

Gwehehehe: It's shredding time, awesome hard rock/metal piece! It's a pretty funny title, but a wicked theme for a bad villain and it really is fitful for one at that. I really loved the solo/lead guitar scale techniques you've used there, it adds a nice touch for an already cool theme.

Desert Theme: Very cool intro, kinda on the same line as Gwehehehe but has a nice change in melody after the 4th bar which very much sounds Middle Eastern, but what I like about this song is that it doesn't run on to be an entirely Middle Eastern inspired piece; some sections are different yet all flow smoothly. As X-M-O mentioned, it is a tad short, this one could definitely run on a little bit longer since there is much potential, irregardless, it is still a nice desert tune.

No Name Song: Now this one is really interesting, it's a very serene, waltz-like piece, I like it! To be honest, I can't put my finger on where this is inspired from, maybe from the early Classical era? I can somewhat hear some elements of Beethoven in there. All in all, it's melodious, you can almost lull someone to sleep peacefully just listening to this.

These are really good, mrhawi and I can definitely say that the VST you're currently using seems to work out for you. Looking forward to hearing more songs, keep up the great work.

[X-M-O]

No Name Song actually starts out with, and maintains throughout, a melody that is very similar to one in Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I can't identify the name of that song though because it isn't one of the main ones in the game and I haven't played that game in forever, lol.
Anyway, it is beautifully done and I love it!
