I thought all the entries were pretty solid & very enjoyable, although on the short side. *pats self on back for deciding to half-ass copypaste repeating the song twice with arbitrary variations thrown in* I didn't check the sources how you incorporated them together, but all the pieces seemed seamless enough. A Taste of Ivalice very nice and moody, low-key, sort of grand but not too epic for my tastes - I'm a non-fan of epic Hollywood orchestral stuff, so this sort of cinematic stuff really has to hit the sweet spot for me to like it, and here that happens. It never gets off to BOOM BOOM BOOM stuff like it sort of hints that it's building towards to, but that's honestly just a plus for me. I very much like the electronic/trip-hop vibe I'm feeling that's there. This is really begging for more length & development basically, this is going somewhere but doesn't reach it yet. Dustin Time I very much like the chippafunky style here. It's short and sweet, and the rhythmic variation is super nice. Obviously tragically short. The sounds are good, but the production is quite flat, but I'm guessing you just didn't have the time to give it that mixing polish. Spirit of Beginning so what's that you're saying about never going to do this style again? Because this is sounding like a fairly solid foundation, it's flowing quite naturally, the jazzy trio approach is certainly functioning. Pretty much in my opinion only needs humanization of all three instruments (and a bit more variation on the drums), more length and a bit more ebb and flow, breathing room on the arrangement. But a really cool start and I was feeling this, definitely!

Yes! Happy birthday to Chernabogue, and Zoltan too!

Well, I think I'm done. Not finished, but done - can't afford to put any more time into this. Wish I could, I quite like what I have going (and the tune felt really awkward for a long time, I like it when that happens). I'll send this to FenixDown shortly.

So do I understand correctly? Deadline is noon EST on Monday - so that means about 20 hours left? I've started mine and if there's that much time, it might turn into something decent ..ish.

Ah, too bad. The last two were a lot of fun! The Sixto appearance was quite golden. Now you need something else to joke about. Snappleman was cool to see as well. His relaxed manner puts his feedback style in perspective.

It's Finnish.

I love that translation. It means "a bombproof thing", which is an idiom for something that's absolutely certain.

Let's see if I can whip something together. edit: Yes, I could.

Wow, that piece from Bravely Default is really cool. I believe it fits very well with For Tomorrow's Sake, they have different feeling to them so alternating between those might work really well. It's just.. there's so much goodness in there, that'll be the hard part! I'll just have to try to simplify things to make it in time. So much could be done with this.

When will the "Currently.." thread be updated? Also, if The Pixies submitted ( , I believe it uses about the first minute of that), what would your decision be? Some pretty badass music in that game btw..

Still working.. rerendering the clavinet because of the hum.. hopefully done in an hour or two!

What, no Saga Frontier 2? Ha, we have a PRC match-up with Yami. Cool.

Gotcha on the notes & breakdown, will provide. Now, back to that Mega Man piece..

Yahh, getting pretty excited here! Can't wait to see what the first journey theme will be.

If Tommy V. Dunbar submitted his original recording of the Archon & Archon II music, would it get posted? I'm just asking this as an excuse to post a link to that cool story.

Since you say an additional tracker interface would be nice, I'll have to recommend giving Renoise a go (has free demo). But it does fall short of your MIDI and piano roll requirements. Perhaps reViSiT would work for you for the tracker part. It's an Impulse Tracker -style tracker implemented as a VSTi plugin. It'll work with most DAWs. I've tried it a while back with Cubase, and it worked all right.

Someone do this in about three-four days and submit it to the Game Boy 25th anniversary EP! I believe it's still lacking a Mario mix.

I have a mighty appreciation for this, pretty much. Maaann, I need to go back to some Doors listening for sure. I only feel the production is a little bit too clean.. and yeah, I wouldn't have minded the piece being longer, like with a dirty organ solo at the end or something. I also do think the panning works, it doesn't even sound "unbalanced on purposed" to me, I didn't particularly notice it before reading the write-up.

Loved the minimalistic vibe here, the pad from the beginning was great; also the bouncy, distorted toms(?) worked very well. I thought the flute sound was a little piercing, perhaps what Marmiduke was saying about the sounds not meshing 100% together. It's also a bit short, but what's there more than makes up for it. The source was taken to an interesting direction too. Great sense of space, I generally like mixes that deliberately take their time to develop.

This is definitely a sweet little chill-out track. The delayed electric piano sounds good, and there's a lot of neat percussion padding & other atmospheric sounds and effects going on. Well built, inspiring and enjoyable!

Heh, I just played SB5 yesterday.. I only play the Battle mode though. I know the tune from other Bomberman games. It's great. Hmh, I really don't have the time, but that piece would be nice to do.

Yeah, I remember this from the Workshop forums, it's nice to see it posted now! With even all the tasty sax in there, my favourite part is 1:23-1:40.. the bells sound so very good there, I'm not sure if the (lovely) clock sample from the beginning is there in the background, but it works very well with the clock motif.

Okay, if I ever suffer from insomnia early on the Sunday morning I'll keep it in mind!
