Sure! Count me in this year

My first instrument is piano which I played for many years before progressing into the world of percussion. I still struggle with finding time to practice everything to get it to the level where I'd like it to be. I always find it best to set goals in each area and work towards those as long as they are challenging you. Some people can just play whatever you throw in front of them. I am not one of those people! These days I tend to stick mostly to drums and percussion for intense practice, but I keep my piano up and progressing slowly...

Thanks for the kind words everyone! And big shout out to @José the Bronx Rican for the amazing trailer!!!

Updated this with another WIP now that my project is wrapped up. This is a mix I did to really just prove that I was not completely brain dead when it came to mixing/production. If someone could provide feedback on that it would be great!

Chrono Trigger 21st anniversary stream tonight!!! https://www.twitch.tv/wiesty

My thoughts resonate with Jays. I only known a bit of the situation from what I've read and it seems to bad that some sort of middle ground could not be reached. Brandon was a HUGE contributor to this website, and although sometimes controversial, he did bring a lot to this community. I've voted in the sub-forum.

I should really find some way to get there this year...

I had a DX7s for a while. The #@$^@$#%@#$^ was a POA to work.

This is really tasteful. Very well mixed...

I think it's a bit of the way things are with Prog bands. They may not have the wide spread attention of bigger acts/pop bands, but their fans are super devoted... And yes...ELP was HUGE in Japan, so I can imagine his influence over vgm composers was large vast.

Rolling Stone article Huge loss for the music community. If you're a fan of prog, keyboards, or synthesis, this should be relevant to your interests. Emerson was Hendrix to us keyboardists.

Don't forget the important of a good set of monitors or cans (though preferably monitors) for mixing. You want a good transparent set that you've spent many hours on and can trust. I found this to be the #1 thing that improved my mixes.

I Should mention that I'm available for collabing as well....Piano, Rhodes, Drums, Vibraphone, Marimba, Melodica, Congas.....hit me up!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the music is complete and will be sent off for mastering sometime this week or next! Art is almost all in as well! Release date soon!

Hey all! I updated the link in the first post with a new wip. I've smoothed out some drum/bass rhythms and done a bit of humanization. Still a couple spots I'd like to spend more time on but its getting close. I'd really like some feedback on the mix as I always have trouble with that part!

Very excited for this...not only did I get one of my favourite tracks of all time before it was snatched up...but I'm hoping to get the jazz collective involed as well. So great to see such enthusiasm for a game that is commonly regarded as a flop by critics. The ost on this game is second to none.

How about a remix of Mods de Chocobo by all the forum moderators.

Finally some FF8!!!

Hey Folks! Here's a simple arrangement of Parting Forever I've been working on for a couple days now that things are slowing down a bit with the OC Jazz collective. Still needs some polishing but let me know your thoughts! https://www.dropbox.com/s/wqpmo5vtue90kin/lostodysseywip3.mp3?dl=0

Such a tasteful and respectful handling of the source material, which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful melodies.

A 100% speed run of ff7 takes about 15 hours so each of their proposed "episodes" better take 15 hours or they are just selling incomplete games. If they truly have THAT much content I'm all for episodes but if each disc has a run time of like 7 hours I'll be pissed.
