I was planning on doing a faithful rock/metal remake of the title screen from Jungle Strike, which was essentially an elaborated version of Desert Strike's title theme. I'd boot up and let JS run when I was a kid, just cause I liked that song so much. I remade the first stage of Comix Zone, "Night of the Mutants." Although I didn't give it any stereo attention (I was kinda learning the ropes, still am), a lot of people ended up liking it. I posted it here. It's called "Never Saw This Coming." I plan on going back and redoing it right someday.

Trust me, it'll be the best $100-$200 bucks you ever spent.

I highly recommend a Line 6 TonePort. It's basically a POD on steroids, and made for bass and vocal recording as well. I use a TonePort UX2, which isn't made anymore, but I use it for just about everything. I've recorded my own stuff with the massive amount of built-in preamps and amp models (as well as the feature to download artist tones over the internet, such as Kirk Hammet's tone used in "Enter Sandman") I've also used it for recording other amps. One of the guys in my band has a side project that I record for, and he just plugs his Marshall head via line-out jack into the instrument port of the TonePort. It sounds exactly like he's running it through the cab and recorded with a good instrument mic, but without all the mic'ing and expensive recording gear.

I think Jesper Kyd did better. Hell, the OST for The Adventures of Batman and Robin sounded way ahead of its time in terms of sound quality.

If that's the case, good news to me.

I would like to be a part of this. You can check out my YouTube channel for examples of what I can do (gonna have another mix up there shortly). You can also check out my metalcore side project for stuff that sounds closer to my style, but the stuff on that MySpace page isn't polished very well. http://www.youtube.com/user/itstartsatdusk http://www.myspace.com/fromtheforestitself

I paid about 800$ total for mine. HP Pavilion with an AMD Phenom 8400, 3GB RAM, and a 640HDD for about $500, then popped in a GameXstream 700w PSU and an ATI Radeon HD4870 512MB which ended up totaling about $300 in upgrades. That system handles everything I throw at it my max res (1440x900) with at least 2XAA at a solid 75FPS with vsync, 'cept Crysis. That was just the tower, though. Monitor was from my last PC.

I considered Boost, but I don't even use my cellphone enough to justify paying $50 a month. Definitely looks like a good choice, though, especially if you use your cell frequently.

Sorry. You can listen to the tracks and imagine a Beyond Oasis remake, though.

Just stumbled onto an iCompositions page with a bunch of really good Beyond Oasis remakes. Thought you guys might be interested in it. http://www.icompositions.com/artists/Bulaev

Will there be a way I could replay the game with these tracks replacing the originals?

A ps1 can be. I had the one with the screen and I took it to school all the time.

Also guilty, but old-school games definitely hold a place in my heart as well.

I actually like the soundtrack a lot. It's the only FF soundtrack I bothered to buy. X is also my favorite out of the series. The voice acting was bad, but to me, it gives the story more depth than not having voice acting at all. I love the water theme of the game as well. And yeah, the battle system.

Looks pretty good graphically. Kinda reminds me of Oblivion. The video didn't show too much as far as gameplay, though.

Done. Also awaiting my pizza...

I wasted a lot of time racing players for the chance to swing at a rock. I'd never go back.

Well, most rock artists I know use ProTools, so I kinda always figured he used something like that. I never bothered to check his profile, because... well... I'm lazy.

I didn't know Snappleman uses Cubase. Hmm.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I love the crap out of that game and I've blasted through it at least 20 times already.

I'd also like to know the pros and cons of other DAWs, as all I've ever used is FL Studio as well.

Happy b-day, dude.

Thanks for the help. Soundsnap has what I need, though the "5 sounds a month" thing I'm not liking. Ah well.

Hey, guys. I'm about to start working on a mix, but I need some samples first. I don't know where I would look, and I figure you guys might have an idea. I need samples of combat. Gunshots, explosions, tanks, helicopters, that sort of thing. Preferably distant sounding. If anyone has any idea of where I would find something like this, please post here.

It didn't appeal to me at first either, but the content updates are usually worth it. I noticed both FFXI and WoW have this. Like mini-expansions, but you're forced to get 'em. I dunno, whatever floats your boat. GW is a good MMO, especially considering it has no monthly fee. Very different feel compared to traditional MMOs, too. I highly recommend it. Well, like someone said back on page 2, 3, or 4, FFXIII and FFXIV are really two completely different kinds of games. I'd figure they're not even being developed by the same teams, with a few exceptions (Uematsu?). I could be wrong on that, though. Einhander II would be pretty cool, but FF is Square-Enix's bread and butter, and they definitely know it.
