https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigeru_Miyamoto Come on guys. Happy Nintendo64th birthday, Shiggy!

In the four years that this topic took place, you could have been learning how to make music. I learned how to make music I was happy with in 2 years.

e.g. http://ocremix.org/artist/4628/zircon Uses Bootstrap 3 More visual layout YouTube playlists! Emphasis on artist links is front and center, including support links for patreon, oc records, etc. Definitely a work-in-progress, but since it was better than what we HAD, we're going live now and will iterate Other pages will be updated to kinda-sorta match, as time allows This pushes us further towards an overall site redesign by getting pages laid out in Bootstrap, semi-responsive, etc. in a piecemeal fashion Feedback welcome

Everyone, Karen Cook -- one of my ludomusicology colleagues -- is putting together a database of games that include chant, or music close enough to be thought of as chant (e.g. Halo's iconic opening moments). I thought the community might be able to help her out, so I'm going to throw the list down here and see what we all come up with. After the thread starts to die down, I'll send along all of everyone's additions to Karen, who will put it to good use. I'll start off by including the first additions: Final Fantasy X and Castlevania: Circle of the Moon should have been on here. Games Including Chant or “Chant-Like” Music: A Partial Inventory: (Suggestions and Additions heartily welcomed!) 1. Halo (series) 2. Sid Meier’s Civilization IV 3. Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword 4. Sid Meier’s Civilization V 5. Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies 6. Assassin’s Creed 7. Skyrim 8. Sacred 2: Fallen Angel 9.

Posting this as personal motivation! Here is the conceptual bit for my rearrangement of Meteo - mixed meter, fusion. I came up with it over the course of several hot showers. If you like it and think you need some help with your track, let me know and I would be glad to take a listen to what you have done. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nbay03rhf5d74hh/Meteo - Arranging.mid?dl=0 Cheers, y'all. Here's to getting this album done.

MIYAMOTO SIXTY-FOUUUUR!

I really just mean move the setting once, try it out, and once you like it, leave it there. It dampens your note dynamics a certain amount, depending on how large the value is. More negative = harder, and more positive = softer. TruePianos isn't a VST that is meant to be automated per se.

Haven't really had a chance to the past couple of evenings, and tonight I was at a Bible study most of the night. I'll probably be working on more music stuff Friday, so I'll see what I can do around that time.

Man, I haven't played Bomberman in years. I fondly remember playing multiplayer mode at a friend's house during sleepovers. I also remember trying to figure out all the different moves you could do with the bombs, kicking and growing them, it was a lot of fun.

Actually, that's the MP3 for the track we need the MIDI for. Thanks though!

You could also try moving the Keyboard Dynamics slider value further to the right to soften the notes themselves, even without adjusting the velocities.

This so much. In fact, this applies to any instrument you try to humanize - shape your phrasing with dynamics. One more piece of advice for Piano specifically is to emulate the damper pedal, which sustains notes until you release the pedal in real life. One way to do do this, max the sustain envelope on the sampler to simulate the pedal being "pressed", then hard set it to zero every time it's "not pressed". That in combination with shaping dynamics with phrasing is how I get the piano to sound the way it does at the end of my FF9 track"Terraforming Gaia", for example. It's a unique feature of the piano, so it's a good idea to look up how a damper pedal works to see why I suggested what I did. It helps a whole lot, though.

Yeah, I've heard from a lot of people that Garage Band is the best start when integrating into DAW's. Because it's affordable, and you'd be surprised with what you can come up with when a lot of hard work is put into a project.

Hey, this is a cool idea. I'll have to wait till my schedule clears up a bit but I would love to do 'Forest of Illusion' in the style of 'Electric Counterpoint' by Steve Reich. Literally been on my list of ReMix ideas for years.

This site has a nice collection of music that the brothers Follin have put together, but I don't see anything from the NES game Wolverine. This one is credited to Geoff, so I don't expect anything from it to be on Dirge for the Follin.

Why not learn to make music yourself? At least one thing that keeps me making music is the notion that no one is going to write down my ideas except myself.

It's okay if people don't do this. Maybe they're not interested, but then again, you never know who is. You don't have to keep bumping it every few months.
