Marketplace Rating: 0 | What kind of music do you make simfiles for? I've been working on a few different files lately, and got to wondering what other people step.
I do pretty much anything. For example...
1. I'm working on Don't Say Lazy (TV Size) by Yoko Hikasa right now, which is J-Rock. YouTube - K-on ED full [Don't say lazy]
2. I recently submitted Dawn (Perpetual Mix) by KaW vs. i09 for Stepmania.com's Stepmix 5 competition. YouTube - Pump Pro - Dawn (Perpetual Mix) CZ
3. I'm contemplating doing Balrog's Stage from Super Street Fighter 2. YouTube - Street Fighter II Music - Balrog (NA, Europe) / M. Bison (Japan)
4. I've done multiple songs by Savage Garden, an alternative band. (I think that's how they're classified.) YouTube - Savage Garden - The Best Thing
And so on.
What do you do?

Marketplace Rating: 0 | I also do simfiles of video games.
I mostly just step video game soundtracks for but if the song has a catchy beet, then I'll step it. Example, "Son Of man from from Tarzan, which i already stepped and released.
Right now i am working on a project called Ultimate mario simfile pack. Its mostly got super mario rpg, Mario 64, and SMW; but if it is from a mario game, anything goes.
Please give me feedback on the files i have finished so far. bemanistyle.com - #1 In music game coverage - Dance Dance Revolution, Beatmania, IIDX, Guitar Hero, Rock Band

Not a smart plan most times if you're one that does it for the fame or notoriety.
I mean a lot of my sims bases off of gimmicks anyways and most of them aren't incredibly in-depth or using negative stop/BPM tricks but enough to at least mess with the person enough while still being fun. There are a few times I'll cave and do a sim to something that everyone's looking at just to maintain the status quo but I usually like to delve a little bit farther than the norm. I mean check this out.
That posted, I also tend to use whatever I make to promote other artists out there. I've done this a few times but people that I talk to enough that would benefit are people like Detach or Bouche. If you've got something I like and I have the time, I usually like to get some feedback coming their way about their style. Generally, they turn out to be real good in the long run after a few years.
So it's kind've a win-win for people that get a hold of me that are artists in that regard...IF you have something that would be considered worthy of a sim, that is. I've got preferences to songs like other people but I'm usually quite open if it's got beat and could theoretically go to decent steps. | |

Marketplace Rating: 17 | Mostly covers of 80's and 90's songs, with some trance and alternative rock thrown in the mix.
Gets kind of hard sometimes, since I like to make songs that not many others have. Hard to get some easy downloads when most folks don't know half the stuff I've done

Marketplace Rating: 0 | Usually my sims do contain musics from IIDX that weren't released yet in DDR and even some poppy but catchy licensed musics that I can hear in the radio regardless whether they are popular here in the Philippines or not.

Marketplace Rating: 0 | The music I step largely depends on what type of file I plan to make (keyboard or pad).
For keyboard files I step a lot of metal, a good bit of video game music, and occasionally anything else I can find that I like. For pad I step a crapload of video game music but virtually no metal. My other pad files mostly consist of rhythm game music (GF/DM being my favorite), and a little bit of everything else. One thing I very rarely ever step is mainstream music. You know, like stuff you would hear on the radio or something. Generally, I'm a lot more picky about song choice when it comes to keyboard files, though, sometimes I step bland songs simply because I like the music so much. Quote:

Marketplace Rating: 0 | It doesn't make sense to rule out 'mainstream' as a category. Maybe it depends on what stations you listen to when, but I've definitely heard steppable music.
On an aside, uugh I wish anime wasn't so popular :< a lot of them basically ARE mainstream songs if you look at how they're stepped with like 8ths, 8th jumps to the lyrics, occasional 16th fills and w/e. again not universally bad but I wish they weren't instant mass download material | |

Seriously. I didn't even know good music until I heard those songs.
