now really, if you wanted people from here to be going to the convention, you should be telling them that the OneUps will be performing at PAX. nice fail at advertising

gee thanks! but yeah there are a few orchestral works, there's a couple i can think of off the top of my head that are on the project.

i just posted a near complete version of tales of symphonia over on the forums...go check it out.

ok then... first off i have to laugh because no matter what you do to create your music for this site, it will still go through some kind of digital formatting. even if you had recorded all of your tracks on some kind of ancient analog tape, you'd have to figure out some way to get it onto a computer and put together into a digital format to upload onto the internet. secondly, if you don't know JJT's music you really have no right to say he's succumbed to a "techno-craze". sure there's a lot of electronic genres on OCR that doesn't make an orchestral track i sequence a techno remix. thirdly, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in this community who does everything entirely live...or even has the means to do their music entirely live. for example, i have no way of obtaining access of a full orchestra to perform my pieces, nor a means of recording them. i'm sure in saying that other composers here do record some of their stuff live, but not all of it, and that's simply because they do not have the means to do it (and if they do, more power to them...they'd consider themselves lucky i'm sure) to comment on what you said about sequencing being easier...in reality it's not easier at all. you may spend time practicing and recording something but that time will not add up to nearly the same amount of time it takes to sequence everything by hand (and make it sound good). i would often argue with one of my instructors about this whole "humanization" thing. in his debate he would say before computers and step-sequencers existed, good money was paid so that the performer would always hit the downbeat perfectly every time. sure some of us would like to emulate a humanistic performance, but in reality if it's really that professional...it should be as close as possible. so why not have perfection? (i neither agree or disagree with this statement) also in one of your previous posts you said, "Keep in mind that I grew up playing instruments, and seeing computers and technology replacing them tends to bother me". computers will never replace live performance. you have nothing to worry about. i also can see some genres as being impossible to perform live due to humanistic constraints.

well with the drums you can just indicate feel and show the drummer where the hits are...and he'll do the rest. with the bass, give him the chords and slashes with indication where the big hits are.

finished by the date they announce not the date of otakon.

the most important question i need to ask in response is, will this be performed live?

good producers know to keep their mouth shut so that they actually get paid for the work they're doing rather then tell them how shitty it is and get fired.

great article larry i hope everyone gets to experience this sometime when it comes in your area. reading about larry's experiences really gets me excited to hear VGL again when it comes back out to CA again in october. glad to hear so much press coverage OCR and VGL have been getting.

if you are talking about liscensing to copyright holders, then it appears he's actually done the smart thing and liscensed the works.

this guy was at a convention i was at recently and got kicked out due to stupidity.

yeah i waited four and a half for my badge today. at least i won't have to do that again this whole thing. tomorrow i shall be probably where ever the music is...meaning piano and singing.

long beach, CA... just got home after first day, and it was rather rediculous. the battle of the bands was hella awesome. this one group from colorado did a hip-hop/rap version of some song from ffx.

well i'm about to head down, if anyone sees a guy in an ocr tshirt, be sure to stop and say hi.

from my understanding they went to a hotel...should be safe.

so apparently she and her family had to evacuate the other day...i hope everything is ok.

is there any hint of what could possibly be used from ocr or is that top secret?

what list, i don't see one?

nope only cosplayin as an oc remixer...i'll be wearing an ocr shirt or hoodie more than likely.

anyone gonna be at Anime Expo next weekend in Long Beach? i know i'll be there for a few of the days, but i'm just curious to see who might be down there. if anyone wants to meetup i'd be down for that too.

i showed you an example on aim, just for reference.

presenting interest, mostly in zelda's lullaby.

hey i'm a music major too and i go to the school right down the street from ya. Fullerton College.

well we're certainly not going to be taking away the prize of track selection by the winner (i know this isn't what you said)...it's just the way it is. also i'm gonna say that there haven't been many entries lately because it's also during the school year, there tend to be more entries during the school breaks of the year (summer and winter).

i might be interested in doing a song in a little while, if it was, it'd be a combination of stage of death and knight of fire.
