Jake Kaufman is virt, and although he is not actively involved in OCR anymore, he does have some tracks posted here. Not this one, though.
You CAN find it on the Dwelling of Duels website, as this was part of their monthly album thing back in 2004. You can find it here:

dawww, wodden spoon is cute :3
Nice job you guys! Really enjoyed listening to yours!
PlanarianHugger! I am impressed by how much you got done, what with finals and all too! When I only saw Nathiel Plasmore had posted I didnt want him to be all alone! after I uploaded I realized we uploaded at like the same time, which was pretty funny.
Again nice mixes from the both of you, did a good job actually Remixing them
When I said "I have listened to real orchestral arrangements", I meant that I understand how real orchestras are arranged.
I agree with most of your feedback though. The samples in EWQL seem to have reverb on them by default. So when I load up samples, they automatically have reverb.
My notes definitely could use some quantization.
I don't think I should aim for a "real orchestra" sound with these samples. There's simply not enough convincing samples and scripts to do that.
However, I fully agree that more can be done to make it sound less like a midi.
I think my goal should be to write something "similar" to a real orchestra, but not 100% exact. So I should aim to have "similar" expressiveness to a real orchestra; but not 100% of the expressiveness of a real orchestra.
Listening to something and understanding something are two completely different things. I don't believe you processed them fully enough to train your brain. If you did, your music would be more refined. Just calling it like it is.
You say it's "easier said than done", which is true, but it's not an excuse to spend less time on it and assume you'll never get it. Assuming you'll never get it is a great way to not get it. So you have to put more of your time into learning how to write for orchestra if you're going to want to write something more realistic.
I do hear the similar styles, but you're still missing the expression present in the SMG example, real or not.
Your orchestra is a little distant, which means the close / room / hall mic mix is skewed towards the hall mic (or away from the close mic) or you don't have the flexibility to mix all three together (you wouldn't beneath Platinum version of EWQLSO I believe). Or your samples are pre-baked in reverb.
Your brass in particular is noticeably lacking dynamic crossfade automation, so the high-dynamic "blatty" tone to the brass is constantly there, without an emulated decrease in incoming breath via a lower dynamic (often done with CC1 or CC11). Even if you don't have dynamic crossfade, you could at least record volume event edits. It's not the same thing, but it approximates it.
You haven't fully accounted for the slow attacks of certain articulations (particularly in the non-staccato brass and non-staccato strings), so the slow articulations are late. Therefore, it would help to shift those slow articulations back in time a little to make sure they are more on-rhythm.
As Slimy mentioned, a lot of your notes sound quantized. One way to help that is to write bigger chords, and offset the notes in your chords. This at once gives you a bigger sound and a bit more flexibility when it comes to aligning the note transients.
Hey, YoungProdigy here. I signed up for the East West Composer Cloud trial and was able to download EWQLSO gold.
"A Formidable Enemy" is my first song made using EWQLSO.
You can listen to it here:
In case you haven't noticed, Titan Quest got a massive update for its ten-year anniversary. It includes not only widescreen resolution support (and proper scaling for it -- it looks good!) but Steam-based multiplayer -- no more fiddling around with Gamespy or whatever. It's also quite possibly the longest set of patch notes that I have ever seen.
Most importantly, if you owned any edition of the game on Steam, you get a free upgrade and already have it in your library waiting to be installed. If you missed out on the fun, or on the various bundles over the years that have had it, it's only $5 for a week, and it will be $5 well spent. I recommend it especially for those folks who are burned out of Diablo 3, given that we're looking at no new content from Blizzard for the second season in a row.
Thanks for the feedback!
This song hasn't been updated since it was released on Soundcloud.
As far as the "low health" sample goes, I've worked it out a little last week... that's still a WIP tho.
I'm glad you enjoyed the transitions and the choice of samples!
@ 1:30 there's aLttP sword spin & LoZ Boss scream on a very low pitch/stretch... not sure there's any choir there.
(I think the layers are GB Triangle 2 & NES Pulse 50% for that specific part along with the two samples... I'd have to check my file to be sure.)
Expanding the tracks comes to a cost.
I could totally re-add the Game Over theme at the end... but I'm not quite there yet.
And as far as duration goes... I don't really decide how long my tracks/remixes are, I just go with the flow.
I'm sorry if it's too short... I can't really help it.
Again, thank you for your precious feed back!
It's highly appreciated!
"Deepened" works for me. "Seemingly" does sound rather weak, yeah. Are you saying they didn't actually abandon him? If they never returned, I'd say that's what they did. I've read your sources and I still don't get the whole picture.
zircon spells his uncapitalized. So clearly, proper nouns can be in all lower case. (I'm going to be doing this for a few more posts. Sorry)
I'm posting this wedding OC ReMix list I made for our fan Christina back in May, because I saw @tehonebeast on Twitter about to play some of the community's tracks for another wedding. In this day and age, lots of cool people want video game music for a wedding, so here's a recommendation list.
I've gone through all of the community's individual mixes and highlighted anything I thought could potentially work. EDIT: Updated as of OC ReMix #3941.
I've also included the real names of the artists, in case you want to credit something for a program.
I tried to split things up into some rough categories, but just keep in mind that your mileage may vary.
Also, if you use more than 1 piece of music, keep in mind that the mixes have different volume levels. You may need someone to take a listen and make sure the levels don't jump around too much from track to track.

If some people want to get an Overwatch competitive team going, I'd be all for it. Season 2 is coming up and I always had fun the few times I played with full teams. Would be nice to have a regular list of people to queue up with.
Could be worse, you could be married with children. It's crazy difficult to make friends at that point, especially ones that have anything in common with you except that they also have kids around the same age. And of course making time for anything other than childcare is difficult to begin with. I could probably never buy another game again and still not get through my backlog--and that's just counting the really amazing games on the top of my list, and not the random stuff I got through Humble Bundles and the like.
Making new friends as an adult after high school/college is actually really difficult. You're not put into situations where you're forced to interact with peers on a regular basis. For gaming friends though, I would suggest meetup.com. There always seems to be some kind of local board game group set up where you can go hang out with people and play board games. This can translate pretty easily into video games. You can also try to create your own gaming group. Maybe contact a local library and see if you can reserve a room with some TVs and set up a weekly gaming thing where folks can drop by and play some Halo.
Also, and this is kind of obvious, but there's OC ReMix too. We're a pretty solid community of gamers. Lots of people are real-life friends because of OC ReMix. Not necessarily local, but I know I see my OCR friends almost monthly nowadays due to get-togethers and conventions. Plenty of folks in the community are playing games online like Overwatch, Hearthstone, Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft, etc. We had a pretty active Team Fortress 2 community a few years ago, though I'm not sure how much people play that anymore.
Your location says "nomadic." Where are you actually located? Maybe there's some OCR folks out near you.
It happens in your 30s. You just keep looking around local and online as best you can and fill it up where you can. Get outside the box and try things you probably wouldn't have tried before.
Pretty hard to be more specific as to what things those are from there, but with the will to move can inevitably reveal the path to get there.
Keep in mind, because of the way this competition is set up, nearly all of the remixes you write with include a Mega Man source and a Shovel Knight source. Being on the Robots team won't mean you'll only be remixing Mega Man tunes, and the same goes for the Knights team with Shovel Knight tunes.
