I've mostly used Addictive Drums (the samples that come packed with it and the Metal pack). I tried EZDrummer but I didn't like it that much. I've also tried some of the samples that come with NI's Battery. There's a lot of variety and some things sound pretty nice.

8 vs 4, seems legit.

Fight Club a bad movie? Wow. I don't own it anymore, but when I had a SNES I owned a legit bad game (not "bad" as the games people complain about now), I mean, terrible game: Home Alone. It sucked and it was hard as balls.

I think that the new games are a lot slower to play than the older ones. From FF8 onwards, animations started turning stupidly long, making even simple battles annoying. Also, loading times don't help the games at all...

Remember that nothing is set in stone with tones and modes. Changing the V chord from minor to major is a classic alteration in classical and modern music and is done because A7 is a dominant chord while Am7 isn't.

I have no idea about the WAV, I guess that the better option you choose, there's less chance of glitching but it uses more resources/takes longer. MIDI all doesn't affect the sound. You only need to look at the MIDI channels if you are sending multiple MIDI files to one track, for example with a Kontakt instance and multiple different libraries loaded.

This site has a nice sheet of Song of Storms: http://cruiseelroy.net/2008/04/ocarina-music-1/ The harmony is pretty simple though, the first four chords (Dm, Em, F and Em) can be thought of being in D Dorian. Then, you have Bb, F, Bb, A for the next four chords, and that is D minor. Essentially, the song uses Bb for a few chords instead of B, it isn't a huge alteration.

I believe the demo projects were removed from later versions of Reaper. Nothing to do about it sadly... When you use Reaper, the DAW "takes control" of the ASIO driver, so nothing else can use it. You'd need an audio interface or something to get sound from Youtube. If you go to Options -> Preferences -> VST, you can set the folders where your plugins are installed (the .dll files). Then, open the FX tab in a track, click with the right button and select "Scan for new Plugins". Your plugins should appear now. The demo is unlimited, despite the 60 day warning.

How much RAM do you have? Maybe you're trying to load too many samples...

Yes, Kontakt player is a traditional VST, so it should work with Cubase.

Thanks! Hope my first judging isn't terrible

Mega extreme bump! I reworked this again (hopefully for the last time) with better samples than the last version. I haven't uploaded it to Soundcloud in case I make small adjustments but I uploaded it to YouTube: Hope you like it!

Not to be a pain in the ass but it didn't reach the panel in this update There are some Resubs from even April in the panel so it's weird that mine (sent in March) isn't there.

Aaaand... filled the form! Good luck to everyone that enters.

Any potential dates for when this will start?

Can you even avoid those? I believe they attack you when you pass next to them.

Yeah, this sounds very interesting. Maybe, to make it a bit different from GMRB or SZRC you could allow more than just zones and robot master themes.

I remembered other weird stuff I do when playing RPGs. I can't sell old weapons or items. I need to have every item all the time, I even buy weapons I know that I won't use just because I want to have them on my inventory. Games with limited inventories destroy me... This paid off in one FF though where you needed to use old weapons against one boss! My weirdest habit is that I dislike having items in numbers that aren't multiples of 5. So, if I have 2 antidotes, I usually go and buy 3 more to have 5.

On RPGs that have visible enemies (like, not random battles) I have to kill every enemy on the screen, always. I usually end a bit overleveled because of that When I was younger I also had the habit of getting every single coin in Mario games. Like, in Mario 64 I wanted to have all the coins in all the levels, even if you only needed 100 for the star. Later games have made coins less important so I don't do that anymore...

1. Amaterasu 2. Skull Kid 3. Scorpion

Man it has always been my dream to make songs that may not get credit! I'll send you some stuff soon

I don't think it's a bad decision by them, but there has been a lot of angry people about it I never watch the conferences, just wait for the megatons, so for me it's the same (and could even be better, getting news more frequently!).

I'm the complete opposite! Probably the only guy that took like 40 hours to finish The Last Story I do enjoy speedruns though but I've never tried one. Closest I've been is Mario Kart: Double Dash!, where I had some decent times, but still a couple of seconds off the WRs.

A shame it got cancelled... Even though I'd prefer something that looked closer to the SNES games (especially Mega Man's design). Also, no X Buster? That'd have been a very bad call.

What exactly is the most important thing to have? Like, RAM, CPU, what? I use many Kontakt libraries in my songs. I also record quite a bit, both MIDI and audio...
