| Helios said: without an M-Audio box that seems impossible.. but yea.. Fruity Loops, Reason or anything like that or very accessible and can be easily downloaded or bought (even with a similar pricetag to a rockband). The amount of VSTi's available (virtual instruments) is ridiculous and many good ones are even free... And what about musical knowledge? Even if you learn to operate a DAW, what about the act of creating music? What scales are there? How do chords work? What's a perfect fifth? What's a cadence? All of these things are needed in order to produce a song. No, you don't have to know the theory behind them, or even their names, but you need to know how to apply them in your music. That's a limiting factor for a lot of people, and one that Wii Music does away with. Yes, Wii Music does not let you create music, but it lets you perform songs. People need to stop looking at this game soley from their own perspective and consider the way the public thinks about music. The imediate accesibility for anyone to make music is where the (intended) apeal of this game lies. |
this is my whole point. this is why i ranted about you.

This is simply not true. You can know what sounds good and go with that. Maybe it is easier, but this is why i called you "Oh mighty musician" because you act like these are necessary things.
Second of all, not having a composition aspect IS an inherent flaw because it is such a small simple thing that could have been included as a side game, but it wasn't. Oh, but it is on a game that was released 15 years ago.
As for attacking my logic, I meant logic capability when you said something like "a person of your attitude towards music".
Sorry for the misunderstanding but that's what you did.
Now then: Would the game have been better if there was a composition aspect of the game?
now as far as what kind of composition aspect. It really doesn't matter even if it was just splicing some song parts together that were already in the game. Layering the tracks over each other. It doesn't matter. If your argument is that no song somebody makes is going to sound good then I could either direct you to youtube to look up mariopaint custom tracks or you could simply use parts of songs already in the game and switch them around, like remixing segments and such.
