Lol.. oh it's cheesy alright.

Sounds like Pokérap.

Drowned corpse, how does that not turn you on?

Cool song, I liked it. Especially the first half.

I only lasted 4 minutes, the greatness, it was too much.

It's amazing.

:<:< I eat this with my ears.

I didn't even notice Squall in the video.

Silence, it sure is nice sometimes.

I think it's worth the price, if you are serious about learning piano. Either through books or a teacher. I myself have been looking at this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adult-All-One-Course-Technique/dp/0882848186/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top it has great reviews and isn't too expensive. There is a channel on Youtube that I found, it has some tips and tools when playing the piano: http://www.youtube.com/user/chordsgalore#p/u/6/8c_gtsMdB7w It all depends on how you want to spend your time.

I like that you can stream on the NES site. It doesn't have the song titles though. I just noticed Final Fantasy I, track 9 has the Gulug Mountain melody found in Final Fantasy IX. A site purely for original 8-bit songs would be tasty.

Ignoracy, yes. Edit: Limeharp, that is awesome, I love that quote.

Chord progression then melody. Most common approach for me.

I was just waiting for this thread. FL STUD10, Image-Line

There are some amazing books on different subjects, like counterpoint http://www.amazon.com/Study-Counterpoint-Johann-Joseph-Parnassum/dp/0393002772 and composing http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0226732169/ref=pd_luc_sim_02_02 it might make learning a bit faster and easier. Especially if you are feeling stuck. Just throwing it out there

This is cool. But is it really possible for such a website to exist? Don't you need permission for all those songs? Nonetheless, I'll enjoy it, and click on some ads now and then.

Soniccouture is selling this special sampled instrument called the "Omnichord" (for Kontakt) you can read up on it and listen to demos on their homepage. It costs 5€ and 100% of the money will go to the red cross to support japan. http://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/g28-omnichord/

Listen to all kinds of music , it will definitely help if you want to broaden your range. It helps incorporating elements from different genres. Or you can focus on one specific style at a time. If you want to learn how to make classical music then there should be plenty of resources

Wow I never thought about that. It would totally be worth it if you can find someone to do it with. Edit: sorry, I didn't think before I posted >.<

It's good, but I don't like ballads all that much. Your other songs on the other hand are right up my alley. "Believe" is my favorite. Nice work.

Just chilling, oh wait what happened to the chillness. Did it died? Just kidding, I liked the whole song. The chill part is the best though.

I see, thank you.

I guess my workflow is sort of different but it's what I'm used to. I work in parts, meaning I make a new pattern for every new part. I name my parts A-B-C and so on. Sometimes I use other structures though. I have my instruments sort of wherever, since I don't like leaving the piano roll so often. You can use the "back" or "forward" mouse buttons to pop up the menu where all your instruments are, or you can click one of those buttons on a ghost note to start editing that part. I have done a few songs using only on pattern too. I have also made songs the "normal" way, building with short looping patterns with variations. Mixer is fairly simple, I tend to just select all my instruments and ctrl+l to auto map them. Drum and bass is normally on the top for me. Automation is something I'm experimenting with. I often use the playlist to edit automation. When I feel it's faster to just record the automation I do it that way. When it comes to composing, I like to start with a chord progression then proceed with a melody and just fill in the rest. If I'm lucky I don't hit too many road blocks.

What is PRC?
