Music Compositions
I'll start by listing answers to possible questions.
Yes, I compose my own music.
No, there will be no price for it.
Yes, credit would be nice.
No, credit is not needed.
Yes, you will have to wait in line.
No, I am not a professional composer.
Yes, the song may sound bad.
No, if I get a lot of people I will not record the song but have it digitally played.
Yes, you will have to wait your turn.
No, just because you're special doesn't mean you get to cut in line.
Yes, please do describe what you want.
No, I cannot make it how you want without you describing it.
Yes, I may not write it how you want.
No, I will not redo it, unless I think it's a horrible song too.
Yes, you will have to wait in line for it again.
No, I will NOT compose an album for each level of your game.
Yes, I can compose many songs for the same game, but you will have to request again each time after your request is completed.
No, ONLY ONE REQUEST AT A TIME.
Yes, I did get lazy with BBCode there.
No, I will procrastinate.
Yes, I will procrastinate.
No, you probably won't get it by a deadline.
Yes, I will try.
No, I won't stop this list.
Yes, I'll stop it now.
So remember to DESCRIBE your song EXACTLY how you want it. Use as many adjectives as possible.
Some songs may not be possible. I CANNOT compose 8-bit songs.
It will take a while to get your song done. I will notify you by comment, however. I will make a line, first come first serve.
I also do like "tones" like a fanfare, so sound effects as long as they're musical and not just noise. These might be done faster because they're put in a different line because they take less time overall. An example of a musical sound effect is like the logout sound of windows XP. or shut down? I forget.
Examples:
a song I wrote in an hour or so
a song I wrote to test the canon form
a really short song demonstrating multiple voices
I can write video game music (looping AB or ABC form) I just choose not to. I can also write orchestral music, or something other than the piano. I just choose not to.
here's an old in-progress one that I never finished
Please do not request the same song from elsewhere and decide not to use mine.
I WILL expect you to use the songs I write for you.
If you do not, I will not take any requests from you as I do not know whether my time will be wasted.
Anyone still want to request?

Re: Music Compositions
I totally agree in that writing music can be quite hard, and most people don't realize this. It's exactly why I don't usually offer to write music in this forum category, or even in collabs. 
wednesday. got no requests. Good luck!

I don't have FL studio so I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could you elaborate?
I can't

I can't
If you don't know what "FL Studio music" is then how are you supposed to know it's what you want?

Re: Music Compositions
I want a music that is happy, with chords, or something. (I can't do it specifically really)

All music should have chords. Without it it would be... notes.
But anyways, I can make something "happy" but it might not be good to your specifications. Do you want something "joyful happy" or like "silly happy" (bouncy) or like "victoriously happy"
and do you want it to loop and how long do you want it?

VIctoriously happy, and 3 min. 5 sec. long.

Ok. I won't get it exactly that time but I'll try. Not under that time, but maybe a few seconds over.

Okay, I'll try to compress it into mp3 and stuff of that sort.
Thank you very much. I will be waiting to see it.

Re: Music Compositions
Okay so I haven't finished any songs yet but that's because I don't have the time for it.
I might have it later, but my business depends on my teachers' anger levels. This week we just happen to have a lot of homework. In English.
Also, I have a big math test that I need to study for and a music test I need to practice for both coming up soon, so maybe after those I'll be able to work more efficiently.
fetchydog567, I have done some of your song (melodious ones are the hardest, ambient songs I could easily complete) and you can see the progress here. Several things about it:
1) Press play in the bottom left
2) Tell me whether it's suitable for your purpose or not, and whether I should use another melody or instrument or something (because, remember, you didn't specify any of that)
3) If you need it urgently and you don't like the song, tell me so I can stop working on it. You can find someone else to write you a song.
4) If you need it urgently and you like how it's sounding, tell me and find someone willing to write it, and I'll let that person finish the song.
Auto007, I may be able to complete your song within several hours as it's more "background music" than actually having a melody. If you need it as soon as possible, please let me know and I may be able to write it/get my friend to help me.

No. I am not sure how you can make music on there as it is a sound editor not a score/note editor. If you read the above posts you would learn that I make music on noteflight, GarageBand, and MuseScore.
