wow.... first of all, let me apologize to everyone involved in this thread for causing such a mess. let me set a few things straight... I am not working for any major (or minor) video game company. I was not hired to compose the soundtrack to final fantasy 14 here... a friend of mine gave me this opportunity and there are 3 people involved: a programmer, an artist, and myself. you will probably never hear of this game. i will probably not make very much money if any. regardless i want to put my best effort into it, because they definitely are. i came here to do research specifically about music tech programs and to see if my setup was good enough to get a start. i'm not asking or expecting any of you to teach me how to use these programs, or to tell me how to compose music. i apologize for not being clear about that in my first post. i sincerely appreciate all of the feedback, as even those i pissed off still gave advice. if i offended you i apologize, and i hope this message can give everyone a little peace of mind. i'll try to post some of what i'm working on (if you still care) so y'all can rip into it and tell me how much of a nub i am. peace

Honestly, it came as a surprise to me as well, but instead of wondering how I got the job, I'm focusing more on how I'm going to get the job done.

Just the engineering, I have written out a few ideas in Sibelius, now I just need to make them sound good

Hello everyone. I am a musician and have recently been given the task of creating music for a game currently in development. Unfortunately I have very little experience with music technology, and have about six months to figure it out. I am running a PowerBook G4 with 1GB RAM, and have been using mainly Logic 8 Express, then Audacity, GarageBand (don't laugh...), and Reason. I'm also using an M-Audio Keystudio Midi Keyboard. I am open to any and all advice as this is a lot to learn in a short amount of time. Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -pcmus1c
