Whoops. Yep its an Fb chord it resolves to, so just VI. Couldn't hear the base in my shit laptop speakers! The opening progrssion is i-VII-IV however, not i-VII-VI.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like its going Abmin-Gbmaj-Dbmaj. The modulation you hear at the end is just a parallel modulation. It resolves to a Dbmin chord instead of a major. Fairly common. I guess we could call it a deceptive cadence but that usually requires the Dominant leading to something out of place, which we don't have here. This ain't classical music so the progression here is a little different. We could look at it as v-IV-I or as i-VII-IV in the key of Ab minor. None of of these have a V-I, so we can't call it deceptive. It's modern music. If it sounds pleasing, thats all you need.

Once again, 30+ hours of driving through a Canadian winter is not in my books this year. Have fun though!

Pretty cool! I've experimented with some fugal writing before and its definitely not a simple task. I feel that the development could have been a bit longer once all of the voices entered. Pretty cool though.

Hey Guys, thanks for the feedback. @Markus: Yes, its a Roland RD-700NX

I'm no pro, but I've done my fair share of gigging, teaching and misc. other music projects since high school. If you're starting from the bottom, be prepared to work for very little. Publicity IS a fair deal (though cash should be involved as well) when you are starting out. I played a restaurant gig once a week for an entire year right out of high school. The pay was pretty shit, BUT we got fed, had basically paid rehearsal time every weekend (because we were just wallpaper), and it led to many, many other WELL paying gigs, and something to throw on the unofficial resume. Once you start progressing, don't step backwards. If someone has paid you 150 bucks for a track, then don't do tracks in the future for less than that unless they've somehow worked some other perks into it.

Here's a simple piano arrangement I did of Mako Reactor from FFVII. I did this originally for the FF7 Web Series that was in development. This track is my interpretation of the Mt. Nibel Mako Reactor.Nothing virtuostic, but I hope you'll enjoy nonetheless! https://soundcloud.com/wiesty/shrouded-reactor

I am actually looking for some flute work for an upcoming project. I will pm you soon

28 hours for me. I'm up here in Canada, eh?

Someday I'll make the trek... That's a hell of a drive though!

This one is not bad http://www.fablesounds.com/BBB-Menu-frame.htm

Embrace the bass clef. Most euphonium players learn bass clef first and most arrangers will score in bass clef. Eventually you should be proficient in both.

Haha, love the miles davis reference. Diggin the arrangement. Hit me up if you ever want some live drums for this.

Way to go Markus. Always a fan of your work on the keys!

Absolutely devastating. Rarely am I brought close to tears by the death of a celebrity, but today I am genuinely shocked and saddened.

Devastating news to anyone who loves to laugh. http://arts.nationalpost.com/2014/08/11/robin-williams-dead-at-63-police-believe-comedic-actor-committed-suicide-at-his-california-home/

Just want to point out we just passed the 5th anniversary of this album! How time flies. Still have good memories of having the opportunity to work on this with album with so many talented individuals.

Pure bliss

for the price of I/O devices nowadays you might as well go that route, then you don't have to worry about bus noise etc. Unless you're using a PCI interface like a MOTU or something, then those are awesome to go with.

Yup sounds like a piano to me. Still sampled, whereas modeling is the way to go imho.

The best EQ is no eq. EQ to compensate for what your mic may be lacking or over emphasizing, or for any frequencies the room you`re recording in brings out more than you`d like. Other than that, get rid of the frequencies you don`t need and are muddying up the mix. If it`s solo violin I would opt not to use any EQ at all, asides from maybe a bit of mid frequency to bring out some of the body, but that's preference.

Also make sure that the bass lines you write compliment the kick drum and vice-versa.

Hey Touchstone are you heading this now? I had this directed to Callum, but i'll tell you I guess, I wouldn't mind grabbing these two tracks: Overworld Theme: Underwater Theme:

Hey Callum, I didnt see these on the list for BoF1 but if they're free put me down for them: Overworld Theme: Underwater Theme:

If anyone wants to add me I am on occasionally! User name is Wiestyo
