  1. Today I just came across my NSF of Final Fantasy 3, I had forgotten how wonderful that soundtrack was. I went to OCremix to look for some mixes.

    I couldn't believe what met my eyes. Two remixes!! Only two remixes of that beautiful soundtrack!!

    I really think we need a lot more from that soundtrack, I may do some works myself too.

  2. I'm using Cakewalk sonar, and used Cakewalk Pro Audio earlier. Pro Audio doesn't support VSTs but you'll never

    find any program handier than Cakewalk Pro Audio. So if you're planning to use a MIDI-driver or a hardware modul, then go for Pro Audio.

    Sonar is one of the big host-applications out there and it's much like Pro Audio but with the new functions needed. It got some bugs like it takes a while to bring up the score editing but it's not that bad.

    As you are planning to make classical music I assume you want to use score editing, right? Then I'll tell you that Cakewalk have for what I've seen the absolute best score-editing system.

    When you install Sonar you'll get some DXi's and VSTs with it of course. You will get "Cakewalk TTS" wich is exactly the same as Edirol Hypercanvas and you get a nice set of effects, including very nice reverb, chorus, delay etc.

    If there's anything you need to know about Cakewalk

    Sonar or Pro Audio, just ask!!

  3. Ok. I've been using Sonar for a while now, but here's a noob question. What is the difference between a "synth" and a "soundfont"? I've been using DXI synths until now. To use them I install them and then I can "insert" them as a track in Sonar. I really want to check out some of Darkesword's soundfonts, but I'm not sure how to use them. I downloaded a woodwind one and then used the compressor to inflate it (that sounds all backwards) which resulted in the creation of an SF2 file. Can anyone tell me how to get that file to make sound in Sonar? Thanks for the help.

    Hi, I'm using sonar. I think there is way to use the soundfonts in the program as it is, but I find it easier to use the VST-plugins "SFZ".

  4. First of all I want to tell you that pianist is not what

    I'm trying to be. I'm mainly a composer but as you know it's nice with some piano skills when composing music. And it's also bothering me when someone wants me to play

    some piano for them the best thing I can do is to improvise some stuff.

    Moonlight Sonata 1st movement is already on my schedule but I would like something wich is just a little easier. But thank you so far!!

  5. Hi, I posted this thread because I would like some suggestions for some piano pieces. Nice classical piano pieces would be best but modern music is fine too. The only classical piece I've learned so far is a shortened version of 'Für Elise' and it's a bit too simple.

    Soo...what I want is suggestions of classical piano pieces that's not too hard to play. Thank you!!

  6. Ok, this is not a request for FREE samples. It's a general request for samples and I'll probably be willing to pay for them.

    I'm looking for pop string packs or string samples that would sound good in a specific pop setting - being "60s - 70s" soul/funk/orchestral crud. They need to be versatile and sound good.

    Any takers?

    Hypersonic should have some strings fitting this category, but that would be like buying cookies to get the chocolate pieces.

  7. I would say that eurobeat goes right between trance and techno. About figuring out about harmony and chords and stuff, there is no way you can just learn that from other persons. But it's possible to help you, and give you some advice. Here's my best advice for you:

    Spend some time everyday finding the right chords for different melodies and make some remixes of them. Doing that you'll automatically learn how to find the right chords and you'll start understanding the whole thing.
