If you're going for this being an OCR official album, I think shooting for less than 20 would be a better idea, personally All up to you!

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SioXDYdtIqMiTe04P1I_ox9i8nMutgf6 lookin' for feedback particularly from jazz heads. Threw the sheet music there since a lot of it is going to be more improvised... This is gonna be interesting because I think I'll have to personally work with each live musician to get it sounding the way I want, but I think I'm getting a hold on this.

Man, tonight was a heavy night working on a WIP. I ended up staying longer than I wish with an arrangement I think longer than my original? I kinda have to hash it out to make more sense and cut the filler. Also accept that this mockup is prolly gonna sound like garbo compared to what live musicians will do.

Just letting everyone know that I'm working on my Area 6 arrangement heavily before giving it off to performers. Contacting a few people to see if they're interested in helping critique; I think it's really going to come to life after all the advice I've got and a ton of listening to a few Jazz albums. Also just so everyone knows, I'm going to be opening... a lot more performer slots. Like, double what I had before.

I'm game.

If there's time on the last minute boat, and depending on how much time, I could still throw in Dungeon Cave or the Final Battle. (I originally wanted the latter) - I've definitely improved at what I'm doing lol. I'm however expecting anything though since this is so close to deadline. This looks fantastic!

if you guys need another arranger, well, i love the super nintendo and arranging

Keeping Pace? If this is still open, that is.

k joined. though i messed up and joined twice but im sure that'll be fixed

here we goooo What I'm going to need live instrumentation of (I can manage to replace some parts on my own w/ whatever works best. I'm not dead set on having these be 1:1) Bari Sax Bass Clarinet Trumpet Cornet Trombone Drum Set Piano? Two Acoustic Guitars (I'm capable of doing these myself) 4 electric guitars (someone can just double for all of these parts; most of them aren't too difficult) Banjo Bass Guitar Choir (...probably gonna get a friend to sample these; just four) A Cello ...Yeah some of these are definitely going to have to be changed, but I'd like to at least at tempt to hit all of them with their instruments or at least something close.

best wishes, flame. Modus has been taking good care of my WIP. :] Hope things get better!

put me down for instructor mooselini's rap ... I have no shame.

Make that 2

hey I'm still going to submit you something cool gario and we'll see how it goes :]

I like this idea a lot. It gives a lot of room for composers and artists to work with each other which we usually don't get a lot of opportunities to do. Good stuff! also can't join the group D:

Oh for sure! I assume we'd each be working with an artist? Could be really amazing stuff.

I'm down yo. Fantastic artists! Maybe I'll sign up to brush up my art skills...

My assistant personally recommends making sure that the down beats (1, 2, 3, 4) are emphasized compared to the offbeats. Listen to drums and analyze them - See what makes them feel real.

Quick thing about the drums: Since the drums and all are made in Sibelius and Drum charting is ANNOYING, it's more of a "Mood set"; we're either going to go with different samples that sound very good or a real drummer. With the time we have and seeing that the rest of the band is filled up (and we're going to add more potentially to this piece) we're *definitely* going to change those from copy pasta to 'really varied and not boring'

i think at this rate i'm going to have a finished product in the summer we're going faster than i expected

I'll explain more to it on text when you're on but TL;DR: You can't do this to yourself John and you know that. I mean you can, but the benefits are sparse. The only benefit I got from that whole thing is more of a stockholm syndrome.

okay I love what I did in less than 48 hours but I've heard John's before and gotta give it to John (I even made a drum mistake; see if you can spot it!)

Oh man, all of them were really good. Age & Alchemist sounds really funky (particularly because of the medley stuff, but really, needed mixing work), For Hope and Shovelry just sounded really good, The Wanderer... Man Gario, I'd love to see you finish this sometime. And Boulders Wreck Rapiers was fantastic.

yeah sure And I'll have a demo ASAP - I know my arrangement stuff... I just need to step up my instrumentation game and my mixing/production game.

Logimos Shrine (Below Ground) / Lost World Is that good? I see it on the unclaimed list.
