Its been a LOOONG time since I found a game that could keep me playing non-stop for days. I'm still running through it and absolutely love it.

Seriously, get this game; NOW.

I. MUST. DO. THIS.

Great Idea! I'm so in on this.

Personally, I enjoy very relaxed orchestrated music, or very ambient chillaxed goovin music.

LETS DO THIS! HOOOOH!

Visit youtube for some of the coolest mario paint compositions ever created. Seriously, they're pretty freakin awesome.

But for what I really use to produce music - my guitars and my guitars' equipment (tuners etc.), amps, pedals, mics, recording equipment & speakers, I guess it goes over 6,000. That's not including how much electricity has been used on operating all of this.

Renting the rehearsal room for the band and guitar lessons - 800 a month.

Fixing the guitars and amps when they have issues - 500 (that's about the price of the best DAW, right?).

Strings (estimated) - 150 (This pays for a great software).

Adaptors - 60 (that's what the license costs, according to jarrydn).

Gets you into perspective, DAW users, huh?

The forums is about software. Many of us DAW users, especially myself, could go on and on with hardware. Why would you assume that those who use a DAW have no hardware? Regardless, your post doesn't really fit into the discussion at all. It's just a "Look at how much money I spend" e-peen post.

Agreed, Maestro. There are a ton of kids out there that aren't paying for this stuff. I suppose the best proof I can provide is to do a random search for torrents of different software packages. Hundreds, sometimes thousands of seeders and leechers.

Myself, yes. I currently own my software. Did I always own what I purchased? No. I never understood why I would pay hundreds of dollars for something that might not suit my needs. Once I realized that the software was for me, I bought it.

Hree's what I own:

FL Studio 8 XXL Producers Edition (Additional license paid for unlimited free updates)
Absynth 4
East West Quantum Leap Complete Composers Collection PLAY Edition (which includes:)
-QL RA
-QL Pianos Gold
-QL Voices of Passion
-StormDrum 2
-Symphonic Choirs
-Symphonic Orchestra Gold

It's nice to know I own this software. You appreciate your stuff so much more when you own the physical copy of it (Not to mention when you shell out teh cash for stuff you FORCE yourself to use it).

Hopefully there is still a bit of time as I'm waiting for some expensive software to arrive that'll allow me to compose some instrumental music. I've got some ideas in mind specifically for this game.

PM Sent. Good stuff in those screenshots. Color me interested.

Sign me up. Any chance to make use of a good VSTi is always a new opportunity.

Just search by Author and type in: Kelwynshade. Then you'll be set =)

In all seriousness... I wish there was a way to sort that way. maybe when the Audio Portal update hits.

Simply "save as new version" each time you make drastic changes to the project file. You'll be glad you did.

This is pretty much the truth if you're getting pretty serious into a track. In all honesty, which I need to be better about myself, you should create entirely new folders for each track and get used to saving as new versions inside each individual song folder. This really helps incase you want to go back to an earlier version or if an instance like this happens and your file takes a knife to its own throat.

Like others have said; it takes time. I wrote tracks for free for quite some time until I had received offers from miltiple developers, and now I write commissioned music for these guys on a regular basis.

Many flash developers are looking for short/sweet loops as it saves on space in their game. I haven't checked out your stuff personally, but you'll want to get familiar with looping anywhere from 40-60 seconds of audio and not have it become annoying to hear over and over.

I've written tunes for well over 2 dozen flash games now, and am currently in the middle of a few projects. Just keep at it, and perhaps you'll have the same outcome.

Please refer to this link for any questions:

Ask your Ban questions here. And please be specific on your song.

I'm not sure why it would be an issue for a composer to suggest a theme of theirs for the OP. The OP could sift through thousands of tracks or listen to a few suggested tracks from composers who feel it may fit. In the end, as long as the original composer is credited, it really doesn't matter.

Oh, and a pic of Afro-Ninja and Myself. Fro discovered the bath robes. The pizza guy never saw it coming.

Tom and gang; we were glad you guys could meet up with us at the crazy pool hall. Seriously, free pool when buying drinks was pretty much amazing, though I can't play pool for shit. Good times. I know Afro-Ninja wants to meet up again sometime today.

Good times were had, and we're only beginning.

Meh, I enjoy them all. Rockband, Guitar Hero, Rock Revolution... I am by no means an elite player, I generally play between medium and hard on Guitar and Hard on Drums.

I just enjoy the games with a group of people. The ONE feature I like about rockband over guitar hero is the ability to choose your difficulty AFTER a song has been chosen.

That's it.

People should spend more time playing Sacred 2.... these servers are becoming deserted. Big Time.

Very nice, I've actually got some free time to work on this, so I'll work on some ideas and get you guys something to get your jive on to.

Here's another vote for Youtube.

Seriously, sift through youtube FL Studio Tutorials. You'll learn a lot.

personally i think he shoulda been given about $1. that's about what a music download costs from iTunes or whatever(<---this amount may not be accurate, but i'm just saying. most musicians don't get $20 for a song.)

Most musicians make a whole hell of a lot more than $20 for songs to be made specifically for someone.

In all honesty, it was an interesting game. I put maybe 4 or 5 hours into it before I just lost interest. Mind you, I grew up in the Atari & NES days, so the Dragon Warriors and Final Fantasy RPG's are more along my lines. Now, I did love Super Mario RPG, however the whole feel and control of the game just felt...weird and caused me to lose interest.

I suppose I'm too much of a traditionalist.

Like with any forum on the net, people should lurk; become familiar with the way things are done. I agree that people shouldn't just come out and say "hey asshat, don't post the same BS everyone is posting!", but instead should just leave a reasonable reply and move along.

We want a friendly community.

Looks like an awesome time. I'll have to schedule some time off next time there's some form of gathering and head out with Afro-Ninja next time.

God forbid you pay a small fee for a service that's worth 100x more than any other out there. Mind you, I have all systems, and the 360 is the best online experience you can have with Live.

Worst Video Game to movie conversion is the abomination known as House of the Dead. Seriously, watch it... the best part of the movie is 10 minutes in when you see topless hotties. Then iit all goes down from there....

I played the Sega Master System versio na shit ton when I was younger. THAT was a very frustrating and fun game. Creepy ass music too. Ohhh, the memories.
