Is it my player fault, or is there some weird flanger effect on "intermezzo"? Easily my most favourite tune on Gradius V. A shame it`s so short but it gets me really pumped.

anything from Ikaruga?

~Kid Icarus~ · Post by **~Kid Icarus~** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 3:57 pm

Yeah, Ikaruga's intro music would make a great ring tone.

"Cirrus" or "Ideal"?

Frederik · Post by **Frederik** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 5:48 pm

Nah, neither Cirrus (thats just atmospheric), or Ideal - take that 1st boss fight music. Duff! Da taaa da damtttt-ta! I love how the cymbal crashed accentuate that.

~Kid Icarus~ · Post by **~Kid Icarus~** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 6:34 pm

The music when you blast off at the start would be quality.

Frederik · Post by **Frederik** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 8:58 pm

That would be "Ideal".

And btw, DJ Incompetent, I would reconsider your name if you want to live from DJing. I mean, if it would be DJ Insane or DJ Infinite, then ok, but DJ Incompetent? You could as well call you DJ Lame or something.

No offense though!

I think it's a nice change from all the supposedly "cool" and generic/boring DJ names (e.g. DJ Insane / DJ Infinity)

I need to find one for the Lifeforce boss music. The music that always shows up when the 4 armed boss appears (in lifeforce and all the gradius games).

I've taken a crack at doing a couple of ringtones (I had a MIDI of "Beginning of the History" from Gradius 1 and Shooting Star (level 2 intro) from Gradius 2 I was using on my old phone since it didn't take MP3s without conversion.) I also tried making ringtones out of Burning Heat (stage 1) from Gradius 2 but couldn't get decent results out of it. I was dumping .WAVs out of M1 (arcade audio emulator) and converting them, but the volume levels on the ones I was using didn't work on my phone all that well (it tends to have a somewhat quiet ringer.) Gradius 2 and 3 have a bunch of songs in them that would make good ringtones if someone was willing to take a crack at it.

I'm used to having dorky ringtones on my phone, as I'm currently rockin' the old school version of "Vampire Killer" from Castlevania on mine for instance.

A while ago, I attempted to make a ringtone of the staff roll theme (Stand Up Against Myself) from Thunder Force IV, so if anyone's looking for ideals, some stuff from that game may fit, specifically the boss themes and the omake tracks.

I'm still looking for a program that lets you make your own ringtones and dialtones...

Yeah, I still need to play that game.

hahaha, that's what I was sayin'!
Got the name around the time cd burning was becoming feasible. Every year me and some guys would go to some cabin in Pennsylvania. Friends started looking to me to making entertaining road trip mixes, probably 'cause I was the only one out of the group who apparently was smart enough to only include full songs stolen from old Napster and not put the same song twice on the same disk.
When I first asked my friends when we arrived at the cabin if one of my road trip mixes were up to snuff, they agreed I choose well when it comes to the next track keeping the pace from the last song while keepin' shit interesting. Ha, so not to toot my own horn, but "beep, beep". ahh, I kid, I kid.
But the second year we went back to PA, somebody picked up the case with my handwritten track list. Disgusted to find that I put things like AC/DC, Meat Loaf, Marolyn Manson, Fatboy Slim, Primitive Radio Gods, Garth Brooks, Dokken, N.W.A.. Better Than Ezra, Kid Rock, War, Primus, and the theme song to Shaft all on the same disc, it became a total roast against me after that. So DJ Incompetent was what I was dubbed, and every time I was with those guys when we talked anything about music, that name would stick with me the rest of the day.

So if this whole college thing is ever over and done with, the plan of mine was to get unlazy and work on some sort of legitimate mash-up disk. Clip a little of every genre that wasn't a total waste of time. Kinda like...2 many dj's..."as heard on radio soulwax pt. 2"...or something...

DJ Incompetent was the best possible quasi-alias I could think of to waltz into such an endevor.

Fuck, why do my posts turn into fucking novellas. Goddammit...

I have no shmup ringtones at the moment, but if someone wants my Super Mario Land or Mystic Defender ringtones (w/ accompanying title screen wallpaper formatted for a Motorola V710) just PM me. They're in MP3 format & are 48Khz mono to keep them small but listenable. I need to go back & make those TF4 ringtones again...

I felt compelled to join in.

Rajirugi - Chatterbox (Tutorial - Intro)

Hyper Duel - Congrats (Name Entry)

I think ringtones sound a bit better if they loop somewhat accurately, so I tried to cut out a decent loop from each track, within the 30sec limitations. All MP3s, 128kbps, using Goldwave to extract out bits of the track.

I haven't come across a decent enough track to make a ringtone out of for my own phone yet (besides Ibara's first stage, but I'm having difficulty finding a good enough section to cut out) so for the moment, I'm using Super Mario Bros (the remixed version) and Pacman as my ringing and message tones. ^_^

(Might give my phone some Garegga love someday, either Subversive Awareness or Stab and Stomp!, with the 'just pressed Start' track as message tone... ^_-)

I'll be waiting for said ringtones. Then I'll get to remember if I've played the damn game before. Ahhh, and if all else fails, I just wait for the Wii to come out....good times.

Blade wrote:I'm still looking for a program that lets you make your own ringtones and dialtones...

If I rembember from '02, Goldwave might still be downloadable and free-ish. Just use it to slim your song to 20something seconds, then use that rumkin thing uptop to send it to the phone. Props to Icarus for the Goldwave name drop.

awesome. yeaaah, that's about what I'd expect my friends to say. I get the funny looks 'cause my phone does the Phoenix Wright "Objection!" when I get a text

Hey, If anybody wants to help me out, I've been looking for the Playstation/Saturn sound quality version of somethin' from Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius. On the official soundtrack listing, the song goes by:
#8 Judy My Love ~from "Love is Calling Me" (Judy Ongg)~ (Stage 1 Boss BGM B)

It plays at the very end when you free the panda with the pink ballerina outfit from that giant disco ball.

And then he sings music notes at you..

I tracked down the snes version of it and it blows compared to what plays in my actual PSX. And sweet jesus don't refer me to the actual Judy Ongg song. That bitch sounds like a chinese Barbara Streisand backed by a band from India.

I'd much appreciate the hookup if anybody knows how to get it...with minimal jumping through hoops...

Thanks a bunch for that whole Intermezzo. Maybe I didn`t notice this flanger because my TV is only MONO. It has only one speaker on the right side. Not bad for tate. - - Man, what a great piece of video game music!

Let me rummage around my soundtrack collection for a sec...

Jikkyo Oshaberi Parodius - Judy My Love (Stage 1 Boss)

A twenty-odd second loop, that was nice and easy to cut out as well. Should sound pretty cool when it repeats over and over.

OST ! I never really was a fan of the Saturn Arrangement.

And if anyone has the Arcade version of Raiden 2's Boss Music, that would be the killer shit.

The Raiden II CD-Rom game for the PC from Interplay has Red book Audio for the cool BGM tunes. A simple conversion of the Boss Music to MP3 & you're in business. ^_~

I've done a bit of messing around with some stuff, and here's a couple I put together:

Gradius 3 coindrop (for notifications)
Burning Heat - Gradius 2 stage 1
In the Wind - Gradius 3 stage 3

If I get bored, I might try a few more. I'm not sure how the volume is on these ones (they seem a bit too quiet on my phone, but it has problems with ring tone volume in the first place.)

DJ Incompetent · Post by **DJ Incompetent** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 4:52 pm

Icarus, man. You kick some serious ass! May you be knighted for such ass kickings. Thanks a crapload for the Jikkyo tone! It went to my phone with much haste.

Icarus wrote: A twenty-odd second loop, that was nice and easy to cut out as well. Should sound pretty cool when it repeats over and over.

I've been meaning to ask you about that. Does your phone actually seamlessly loop? Like, without any delay and everything? My old phone would loop tones when I didn't want it to, but it would have a good three-second delay, so I couldn't use little sound bites for message alerts. My new phone doesn't loop anything period. No option for it either.

Anyway, I like my tone how it is, but for looping purposes, it doesn't really work because the first build-up intro you used (from the track beginning) is slower than the pace of the rest of the song. The second build-up (the part immediately after the spot you cut) works much better as it keeps the song flowing at the same pace throughout.

Yeah...that sounded nerdy.

So the thing is, I really like that song on its own for the 'dramatic' second piano build-up, and wouldn't mind using the whole song unedited for other devious purposes. I hate to be the bastard-dick who asks for the glass of milk after you hooked me up with a sweet-ass cookie, but would it be convenient for you to simply drop off the full Jikkyo song in the same folder you dropped off the ringtone? You don't even have to throw a link on here, just say "Hey yo, it's up" and I can just slice the URL and find it on my own.
And if your soundtrack collection happens to have the full:
#31 Farewell Love (Ending BGM) ~from Gradius II~
from Ultimate Parodius sitting next to the fully Judy, My Love song, I wouldn't mind picking that up as well. All file-quotas permitting of course.

I completed that TF4 ringtone set & have included a 162 X 220 wallpaper of the title screen (Lightening Force) but I have nowhere to host the .ZIP file. It's 10MB in size. I didn't get too fancy, I basically took the first 28-30 seconds of each tune (except the 2-3 that were shorter, those are intact) & snipped that as the tone. They are all encoded w/ LAME, 48kbps/40Hz Mono to keep quality high but filesize down. Note that these are MP3 files, designed to work on my Motorola V710, but should work on any phone that supports MP3-based ringtones. Otherwise, you could try to convert them into SMAF files & rename to MID if you have a polyphonic-capable phone that won't do MP3. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. If anyone has a place for me to host this, that would be great, otherwise I'll try to get it to whoever wants it.
