cool. thanks XZero. you're very right. i got a similar advice from the person who is collecting the music for the video games live album contest and you're right about the samples i really don't know too much about midi. i'm learning about all this stuff at school at the moment and i'm trying to get on the right track with this kind of art so any response will be appreciated. your comment was really helpful and i'll keep the last thing you said in mind from now on
