Cool, thanks for the feedback everyone =) Of course it has to happen to me, but some things have come up and I have to focus on taking care of them first so this will once again have to go into delay. But at least I know that I can work on it.

Would reducing the piano reverb be ok too? I'm not sure how to change reverb with the Band in a Box stuff =(

You encode the video file to .flv format, yes but there's some extra things you have to do. Details, if you will. First of all, I've noticed that youtube will neglect all of your hard work if the file is over 10 megs. Might be different now since it's been a while since I've uploaded. Secondly, the audio bit rate set at 128, and video bit rate at 98 iirc. Yes, the video quality will suck donkey balls but you're doing it for the audio, right? Also make sure the audio is set to stereo. I forget if there's more to it than that but those are the basic guildline rules to it. I checked out the 2 videos I posted on youtube that were true stereo and uploaded to load as such and they still do so for me. Sometimes you will have to add that &fmt=18 code to the url to make it work though; experiment a little. http://www.youtube.com/user/Vayshen The chrono trigger improv and mario galaxy pieces are true stereo

Hiya guys, If you've seen my video on youtube before you may recognize my name! =o Hello, one and all! After getting bugged now and then to get the guts and try to bring my works to this great site, I've decided to go for it. I probably would've shot for it a notch earlier however I took a longer than expected hiatus from playing piano and am now about a week or 2 back into and lovin' it! Before moving on, I re-listend to the rapidshare file and while the quality (I think) is passable it is quite clear that at the end I studder too much so I will have to redo it. Alas, even before my hiatus I hadn't played this piece in a while and I have (with great, deep shame) forgotten how to play it T_T. So I'm trying to pickup the chords and melody again and I'm making fine progress, even making it sound better! Less mistakes and more interesting, etc. Therefore, keep in mind that the work I'm linking here will not be the same, that end will be much better sounding and I may/may not reuse the backing track I created with band in a box. The drums are Real Drums from the 2008 version so it's just the upright bass that is midi, which wasn't too awful to listen to for the duration -IMO. The rapidshare link: http://rs241.rapidshare.com/files/98665505/Mario_Galaxy_jazz_waltz_1.avi.MP3 Now then, the youtube link is: So yeah the piano is not sequenced, it's entriely played live by a human being (me); instrument used is a Roland HP-107 so that direct line recording may be used. Ultimately what I want to know from the community is if the 'standard jazz formula' is accepted on ocremix. The melody, while generally played loosely in the typical standard jazz manner, is relatively faithful and to me at least present, I'm not sure if it's 'too much'. There's always the improvisation round in the middle of the 3 chorusus and always room for a 4th at the end without Band in a Box. I know variation wise it would be welcome, as there's much trance, rock and orchestral remix work done on here so I'm sure the jazz genre is ok. (?) Well that was a horribly long post to read for a WIP thread but that's that =( Thanks in advance,
