> This is my first songpack for Stepmania. Eventually, there will be 20 songs, and I will release new songs on this page after every fifth song I step. Once all 20 songs have been completed, I will make a zip file that includes all the songs, as well as the CreamyMix 1 banner. You can click on the difficulty symbols on each song to view its stepcharts, so you can get an idea of what the song will be like before you download it. I created these stepchart images using Nifta's online stepchart viewer.

Title - The Westin Song Artist - Dave Stricker Band Length - 1:33 BPM - 83

_-_2 _-_X _-_4 _-_6 _-_X

Title - Just Be Conscious Artist - Megumi Hayashibara Length - 1:48 BPM - 134 to 136

_-_X _-_3 _-_6 _-_8 _-_X

Version 1.2> I boosted the volume of the mp3 by two decibels. I also made a slight BPM adjustment at the beginning of the song, and this synched the steps a little better to the music.

Version 1.3> I wasn't happy with the banner, so I made a new and better one. Also, I moved the Beat Zero Offset back a little bit, and this resulted in a better synch. As a result, I was able to play the Heavy steps in Dark Mode and get a full combo with 17 Greats.

Version 1.4> In order to make the song more pad-friendly, I edited all three steps in order to greatly reduce the need for awkward double-stepping and turning away from the screen. I also resynced the song, allowing me to play the Light Steps in Dark Mode and get a AAA with 18 Perfects, and then play the Heavy Steps in Dark Mode and get a full combo with 7 Greats. This means that there's no longer any doubt that the steps and music are completely in synch. Finally, I gave the mp3's volume another boost, this time by 1.5 decibels.

Title - Marelle Artist - Benoit Jutras Length - 1:26 BPM - 130 to 157

_-_2 _-_X _-_4 _-_6 _-_X

Version 1.2> The Freeze rating of the Heavy steps was around .49, so I made a few of the tap steps into hold steps in order to increase the rating. The steps now have a Freeze of .532007, which is the highest of any steps of any song I've done so far.

Version 1.3> I slowed the steps down by a tenth of a second, and when I tried out the adjusted steps on Heavy, I managed to get one Miss, but an otherwise full combo with 17 Greats. I also adjusted the final freeze arrow to make its slowing down more gradual.

Title - Breaking The Law Artist - Judas Priest Length - 1:59 BPM - 160 to 173

_-_X _-_3 _-_5 _-_7 _-_X

Version 2.1> Nearly two months ago, I posted on DDRUK's_message boards, asking for help in synching the song, back before I fine tuned the synch in Version 0.2. I never thought the anyone would actually help me, but an experienced stepfile writer called Jeremiah "HellRazoR" McRoberts stepped up and tried his hand at synching BTL. After downloading V1.1 from my server, he fine tuned BTL's synch even further, and even included two silent avis of the song's music video to use as the song's background movie.

Version 2.2> I moved the beginning of the background movie files to more closely synch with the song.

Version 2.3> With the help of my cousin Stephanie’s computer, I synched the movie files to exactly match the music. Also, I fine-tuned the synch of the steps to more closely match the music, and when I tested the song’s Standard steps in Dark Mode, I managed to get a full combo with only nine Greats. I also made some changes to the Standard steps to more closely match the music.

Title - Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride Artist - Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu Length - 3:28 BPM - 20 to 115

_-_X _-_X _-_5 _-_8 _-_X

Title - Come And Get Your Love Artist - Redbone Length - 1:57 BPM - 105 to 109

_-_X _-_3 _-_5 _-_7 _-_X

Version 1.1> After playing CAGYL over the past few weeks, I began to notice that the song was more out of synch with the steps as I would have liked it to be, because I was getting an average of 40 or 50 greats on the Heavy steps. However, after a night of further fine tuning the synch, I managed to get a full combo with only 12 greats.

Version 1.2> I did a little more fine tuning of the song's synch, and managed to get a full combo on the Standard steps with five greats in Dark Mode. So I'd say that CAGYL is now as synched as it's going to get. The BPM changes I did in the resyncing caused the song's minimum BPM to go from 103 to 105.

Title - Emulated Artist - Jose Acosta Length - 1:54 BPM - 123

_-_X _-_3 _-_5 _-_7 _-_10

Title - Groove Is In The Heart Artist - Deee-Lite Length - 1:36 BPM - 43 to 122

_-_1 _-_3 _-_4 _-_6 _-_8

Version 0.2> I eliminated the long delay at the end of the song, thanks to the advice of Jeremiah "HellRazoR" McRoberts on DDRUK's_message boards. All I had to do was delete the DWI, reload the songs from within Stepmania, and resave the SM. I also used Audacity to boost the overall volume of the mp3 by half a decibel, and the bass by one additional decibel. The banner still had some fuzziness from a low quality jpeg of a CD cover I downloaded from the Internet, so I removed some of that fuzziness in Adobe Photoshop. Finally, I edited the Challenge steps to more closely fit the song's melody, raising those steps from a 7 difficulty rating to an 8.

Version 0.3> I boosted the overall volume of the mp3 an additional half decibel. I also made some slight changes to the Challenge steps to make them more manageable on a dance pad, and to fit the melody of the song more closely.

Version 1.1> I was never really happy with the song's background image, so I replaced it with a new one.

Version 1.2> I resynced the song, and as a result, I was able to play the Heavy steps with one miss, but an otherwise full combo with one Great.

Title - Invader Zim Artist - Bass Kittens Length - 1:58 BPM - 70 to 122

COMING EVENTUALLY

Title - Tomboy Artist - Creamy Goodness Status - BG and banner completed

> It's been years since I quit writing music, but once I started making stepfiles, my interest in composing was rekindled. At first, I was planning on working on a songpack consisting of nothing but my own music, but I've decided to include two original songs in each of the CreamyMixes instead. Tomboy was going to be a background track of a fighting game I once considered creating, but after that fell through, I decided to use the song as a stepfile. I came up with the name Tomboy, because the song was going to be the track for Brandy Oteigh's stage, and Brandy is as boyish as a girl can get. As for the song itself, it exists only in my head right now, and while I know what the main part of it will sound like, I haven't decided exactly what the bridge in the middle of the song will be like. Tomboy will be a jazz-like song, and most of it will be slow and mellow, but the bridge will be upbeat and possibly gallop-oriented. Expect to see this song with the release of CreamyMix 1's fourth quarter.

> I've been having trouble getting MIDI to play on Candybox (my main computer), and Glamdring (my IBM Thinkpad) suffered a recent hard drive crash, so I've been unable to write Tomboy in MIDI like I'd planned. But once I get passed this hurdle, I plan to start writing the song in MIDI format right away. After the song is written and converted into an mp3, I can then start writing steps for it. But in the meantime, I'm working on Tomboy's background movie. This movie will include several short clips of Brandy doing everyday activities, a few visual effects, and 3D animations. One of these animations will be this test animation of Brandy's 3D model dancing, which I did way back during my college years.
