"The credits roll, and Michael Jackson's music plays." Man, I started tearing up reading that.

This great read by Huffington Post's Todd Van Luling finally and truly 100% confirms from 3 of the credited Sonic 3 composers that Michael Jackson made music for Sonic 3 and it made it into the game. http://testkitchen.huffingtonpost.com/michaeljacksonsonic/

Hope you can get that fixed. Dead batteries are the worst.

Actually, Lara Croft will celebrate her 48th birthday on Feb.14. Since she was born in 1968 We really need a game with old Lara like what they're doing with Nathan Drake. Anyway, Like you said, humanization, but since you're going to record it for realz, it's pointless to call that a "flaw" right now. I would add more variation to the rhythm and voicing of the arpeggios around the 1:10 - 1:30 and 2:40 mark since the accompaniment gets really repetitive there. I think that orchestral instruments would also go really well with it and ambience. Maybe like, orchestral hall noise or nature sounds and maybe some atmospheric synth pads or drones. Which reminds me, I need to get on re-doing my old Tomb Raider orchestral remix. Anywho, I'm excited to hear the finished version when you've got it done!

Hrmmm how come we have to support each other financially to begin with? As far as I know we're all poor. Isn't there some way we can get OTHER people to finance us? Aren't there any people out there who like what we do?

Then be sure to contact me via PM immediately with the name of the person who reserved your room, which I believe might be Jarel Jones, and the reservation's confirmation number, which he can retrieve and PM to himself.

6/8 and 12/8 are pretty much the same thing, it's just whether you think of the "bars" as having 2 or 4 beats. It's more natural for me to think in 4 beats. I've done 2 songs in 12/8 and have one more that's on-hold. Everything in that meter feels super bouncy and fun, even if it's in minor key!

Hey @Esperado, this is as close to the source as I'm willing to transcribe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/31dq8pwwm982cm8/Abandoned%20Castle.mid?dl=0 Right before it loops it goes into some crazy solo stuff that is really hard to hear at half speed, the airy-ness of all the instruments used in the source makes everything kinda muddy at slow speeds. I also think there is a wrong note around 2:09 but I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. Anyone going up against me throughout the compo is welcome to use this midi!

I'll send you my transcribed midi later tonight! It's a pretty simple source for the most part.

I am becoming more convinced OCR is a hot spot for interesting music styles, not just a video game music site. Chiptune + piano; I've never considered it, but it works so well here. Seriously good connection between differing elements. Plus that piano part just goes insane. Excellent remix.

It's true; I'm actually doing drugs this very moment.
