[Final Fantasy Overture (Final Fantasy-Various)]

Man, two things I absolutely love to always have a sit down and listen to: FF music and orchestral renditions of video game songs, and this one does both!

As soon as I heard the opening bars leading into the FF Prelude / Opening Theme, I got that spine-tingling feeling again as I did when I was a kid sat down playing SNES FF IV (the first of the series I played) on my own, stereo up high on the TV.

Unfortunately, busyness pulled me away from hearing the rest, but tonight I am going to take a sit down to read the text thoroughly and listen to the whole thing! You've got another subscriber here, and it's always wonderful to see a full band group performing stuff from movies, TV, and games, and not just the normal, traditional minutes and sernades. That said, I did get to read some of the text and your story of how the group got together so quick and on the cuff before Magfest, with so little time to coordinate and practice, and did this suite--it's astounding. Will and must hear more, and will comment more when I do!

O.o

Hm... That's weird. Is it normal to have so many page views but no comments? ^^;

Hope the link / song is working.

This isn't the first remix from a game I've completed, however it is one I am more confident with:

I decided I might as well throw myself into the deep-end (hope I'm doing it right), but yeah.

Any advice, pointers, or criticisms (good or bad) would be great.

Hoping to get something into submission at some point... I realize Cakewalk / BandLab is not on the usual list of DAWs to work with, by the way, but it's all I have to work with at the moment. I am extremely new to composing, arranging, mixing and mastering music on my own, (with nothing but me learning from YouTube vids, what bit of information I still have on music theory from years ago in band, and other tidbits on the internet). I'm practically a tadpole in a pond.

Don't want anyone to go easy on me despite all this, please.

Look forward to the comments. o/ Cheers!

[The Newbie Introduction Thread: Come on in and say hello!]

Hello everyone!

(Wow, I'm extremely nervous ...and shy, haha!)

To make things simple outside my username / artist moniker, just call me Angel. I've lurked around the OCRemix sphere for, jeez...years, I'd figure. Had my first taste way back around mid-2006 or so, from an old ex-friend who was heavily into it. I don't know if some of the OGs are still around, but I definitely remember two of my firsts I've heard from here was "Ace of Space" by Beatdrop and "The Scarlet Halls of Night" by The Wingless (I'm a big Guardian Legend nerd)--been hooked ever since! Been raised on games since a child, been raised for a passionate love of music and art since a child...only made sense at some point to combine the two things, but up until now I've been too scared to try.

Like many here, I want / plan to improve my knowledge and experience in composing music, and (hopefully) at some stage have them featured here. I am totally new to creating music from scratch, on my own, but am not new to playing music or experiencing the process of it from start to finish. I'm a fan of many genres, and love to work within and outside "conventions" in any one of them!

Hope to make new friends and learn a lot by mingling here. Feel free to message me for any pointers or guide me to workshops, (I have no idea where to start!)

o/ Have a good one guys, and look forward to the future here!
