Piano arrangement of Terra theme from Final Fantasy. Let me know what you think! http://pwatts14.googlepages.com/FarewellTerra-FinalFantasy6Gorg.mp3

I'm familiar with EWQLSO and have used it before (but I don't own it). GPO is great and you are right, I can do more with it. But that isn't a sample issue which is why I was puzzled. I'm not sure what you mean by "tonality" in your final comment. It is clear you don't mean tonality (what key it is in), though. Maybe timbre? Just asking for clarification because I still don't know what you are trying to say there. Thanks for the comments. From what I can gather most of your criticisms are on the lack of humanization, then? Does the arrangement itself (composition) appeal at all?

Thanks for the feedback! I don't know what to make of some of your comments (especially the PSX one and the one that mentions crescendos are more than just making things quieter??) but I think I get you on the rest. I do tend towards focusing on the arrangement instead of humanizing, so I can understand the comments about mechanical attacks. I'm puzzled by your comments about the sample quality, though. This was done with GPO, which I understand isn't the highest dollar sample library out there, but I think it is more than adequate. I guess GPO just rubs some people the wrong way. I'm also puzzled by your comment about it lacking intensity in the sound? Is this related to it being mixed somewhat quietly? Can you be more specific about what sound you were hoping for and not getting here? Incidentally, I loved the comment about Marble Madness on LSD. That is a very good way to put what I was actually shooting for! Thanks again.

Wrote a brief but hopefully exciting arrangement of one of the themes from NES Gauntlet. Probably too short to get in here, but maybe there are some suggestions to help with that? I don't know, what do you think? I really like this, personally. http://pwatts14.googlepages.com/gauntlet-scherzo-2.mp3

It would probably help to include the link! http://pwatts14.googlepages.com/HeroicJourney.mp3

This is from Dragon Warrior, various themes. I posted an early version of this a long time ago and finally got around to "finishing" it. Please let me know what you think and what needs improvement! Appreciate any time.

great now i miss vgmix again thanks guys

Yeah I've been considering adding some more percussion. I probably will. I use FL Studio 8 and Garritan Personal Orchestra and a few strategic soundfonts.

I really appreciate the comments. I will hopefully be adding some stuff to it, but I was hoping to get a little more feedback from people here about whether or not this is heading in a good direction.

Updated file with a lot more of the composition. If you listened to the original, this one is different now. http://pwatts14.googlepages.com/gauntlet-scherzo-2.mp3

A hopefully exciting setting of one of the cutesy themes from the original Gauntlet. I made a crappy arrangement of this when I was first starting out, but it was pretty boring and uninspired, plus nooberific, so it just sat there. Hopefully I've learned a little since then. Here is the beginning. Obviously this isn't the whole thing yet. http://pwatts14.googlepages.com/gauntlet-scherzo-2.mp3

Search for Sonic Implants cymbal rolls. That's a free one I found a couple of years ago that I use a lot.
