It seems to start with the "Pologue" jingle from CV1, am I right? ;) Can't wait to hear that. :)

Followed by Vampire Killer. Naturally.

I'd actually be interested in knowing what notation software you're using, Jorge.

I use Noteworthy Composer.  It's only $35 and it's how I make most of my MIDI files as well as printed sheet music.

Do you use primarily VST's? If so, what software do you run them through?
Title: Re: Soon...
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on March 07, 2015, 10:41:46 PM
I use Synthfont for VST's and VSTi's.  It also allows usage of Gigastudio/Gigasampler files and the Soundfont format.
I help the developer test the software (I'm often messaging him when I run into issues) so it's updated.

How did it go?
Title: Re: Soon...
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on March 17, 2015, 02:36:55 PM
I need to rebalance out the parts, but it went well! :D :D :D
Some instruments need to be brought out, while others need to be softened up a bit.
Title: Re: Soon...
Post by: Shiroi Koumori on March 17, 2015, 09:34:26 PM
That is good news!
Re-balancing is definitely easier than a redo.

That's good to have the possibility to re-arrange a few things. :)

Wanted to update you guys...

...It happened! :D
But I can't find any videos of it online yet.  I guess they've not dropped since it was this last Saturday.
But there are pics! :D

I wish I could play with you guys, but I've only had 3 years of trumbone practice. I only think I'm worth Highschool Concert Band level. :(

That's usually the level I compose arrangements for.
Also, hello fellow Trombonist! I used to play that instrument for many years.  Once I get my teeth fixed, I will try it again.

We played the following tunes:
-Chrono Trigger: Wind Scene - 600AD - Duet (Flute + Clarinet)
-The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - Dragon Roost Island (Flute + Acoustic Guitar)
-Kirby's Adventure - Vegetable Valley (Slow Swing Arrangement - Full instruments - Flute, Clarinet, Saxes, Trumpet, French Horn, and I play the Melodica in it)
-The Legend of Zelda series - Hyrule Castle (No Melodica in it, so I sit this one out)
-Final Fantasy VI - Kefka's theme (I arranged this one so I get to conduct!)
-Castlevania Series: Vampire Killer + Dracula's Castle (I arranged this as well :D )

Oh wow

But trumbone isn't the only instrument I play
I play trumpet, french horn, baritone, snare, keyboard, and guitar too

But even then, I don't think I could make it there + learn the music in time to play. :C

Check out 3:50 for my Kefka's Theme arrangement.

YAY! Thanks for the video.  :D
You were so cool conducting. And here I am wishing that I could play an instrument.
Title: Re: Soon...
Post by: BLOOD MONKEY on September 27, 2015, 04:40:46 AM
Could you possibly provide a video without the crowd please? Other than the crowd, it was amazing, and sounded like a full orchestra.
Title: Re: Soon...
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on September 27, 2015, 04:42:49 AM
Unfortunately, I cannot provide that.  It was a big convention, and I don't think the recording equipment would provide us with the audio from it.

That's a very cool thing you did Jorge!  ????
