To request a song, fill in the 'Answer this question' box at the bottom of the page and click 'Submit Reply'.

I'm still trying to do rounds once a week, but for the foreseeable future the actual day is going to vary because of reasons.  Contests will still be on the weekends on my YouTube Channel.

Ground Rules:

  • Rounds are on Wednesdays
    • Everyone gets one, if I can.
    • If I've done a request for you then please wait two weeks before requesting another.
    • If I'm backlogged then I may not get to yours for a few rounds.
    • If you have a list then I'm only going to go through the top 3, so please try to narrow it down.
  • No "extended" music links, please, just the original one time through is much easier to work with.
  • If you have a particular section of the song in mind then make sure you mention it.
  • Please don't PM me with requests.  Just leave it on the thread and I'll get to it when I can. 
  • "Can you do anything from ______?"  You're going to have to narrow it down to specific songs for me.  I don't have omniscient knowledge of all music, yet.
  • I don't really take Shawzin requests; not enough time and something had to give.

Q : Octavia Prime is vaulted, how do I get the Bombast instrument set?
A: You don't, not until Octavia returns with the Prime Vault.  In the meantime, substitute these:

  • Bombast Percussion -> Gamma Percussion
  • Bombast Bass -> Beta Bass
  • Bombast Melody -> Epsilon for slow melodies, gamma for fast ones

TUNES

The OP was officially too big to update any more, so I have moved the song list into my comments on the first page of this thread. 

I had eight comments on the first page, so I re-purposed them and split up the song list into sections.  These links will take you to the specific comment, but they're all on the same page so you can still search for everything in one place.

Thanks, DE!

Do you have a timestamp for that?  This gets requested a lot..., like, a lot, but I haven't found anything in there that's going to work.

0:45 - 0:51 in the original music video ( i did a bit of hydroid work and converted it to mp3 so im pretty sure its those are the exact ones ). Maybe if you could disregard some notes in the accompaniment and highlight the keys on the right octave then most probs you got a river flowing within you :)

It's not going to work.  It can kind of fit, even if limit it to the right-hand notes you have to give up the G# at the end and bunch more of them in the middle, and it sounds totally different.

Theres a midi kids version of the song, in that the timestamp i said is only composed of very little chords. Ill try composing one in a piano app first. I agree with ya in it being diff AF cause theres alot of chords in the right hand alone without accomp, but i wont lose hope yet bruv :D

Here's the right hand portion.  It's in A.  I've marked the best fit mandachord notes in green and the ones that don't fit in red.

Your only substitutes for the low red note are 1 or 2.  Both of those options sound very dumb to me but maybe your ears are different.

There are some genres that rarely work, but I don't like like listing them out because sometimes they surprise me.

I can tell you that I'm looking for strong, clear melodies, because that usually has a higher chance of being recognizable on a Mandachord.  It also helps if they're a bit up tempo, because I only have eight seconds to work with.  Here's a borderline example.  

Clear melodies and up in tempo by just a bit... what about the first thirty seconds of this particular song before it alternates between seemingly off-tune and the first? Nightmare (пl3nk▲)

The first eight seconds—seven or eight, I think, repeats itself, but same tune that ends around the seven or eight second mark gets a little more to it around the fourteen second mark. Fifteen to thirty is pretty much the same as explained prior to this part but with beats added.

The first thirty seconds of the song—and the parts that come after the off-tune sections of the song—is my favorite part of it, but if it's not compatible with the Mandachord then any part will do with avoidance of the off-tune parts, if that can be helped.

As usual, thanks again. 💕

Might you do Phantom of the Opera? I'm trying to fiddle with it myself without experience and I'm having fun, so I'd wonder if that's something the Mandachord can handle! 🙂

You're so impressive! Thank you for being a rock star!

Sorry, that one's not going to work.

Love your work, definitely a sub from me.

This song means so much to me, it would be so nice to carry around atleast just a little bit of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAq_FpWU18c

Thanks so much! if you can't do that, I'll wait to request something else, cheers!

It's not that close

Okay, I guess it's "clear" in a way, but the whole thing is almost detuned beyond recognition.  As far as I can tell, it's not going to work.  The first two notes, also the two most repeated notes, are separated by a half-tone interval, which doesn't exist on a Mandachord.
