Galaxy Hero Legend 2 intro rearrangement by Wolf_

Very nice piece of music, Wolf_! I'm afraid I don't know the original well enough to give any comments on that part, but the composition as a whole is very neatly done! Pity you make these things only one in three years, otherwise there would be a lot of songs that would be nice to rearrange like this.

Is this tune PSG or SCC?

Huh? Isn't it FM + PSG?

It sounds just like a movie-score, very impressive! Two big thumbs up!

Cubase, Halion, Revisit (it's all tracked music )

I had Rikusu have a look at the game, but he couldn't really make cheese of it, even tho he could read/understand it all. For that reason, this intro is all I know, I've completely no idea whether the rest of the game (4 disks!) has similar music, .. imagine a whole treasure-room full of music being there, and we just can't get there.. ^_^

The Xaks are also on my shortlist, but not until either blue or open (or nlmsx for all I care ^_^) has an automated channel diskwriter. I did some browsing in KSS/MMP yesterday, and there's not very much which is suitable for a large-scale rearrange, or at least suitable for lengths comparible with common music, e.g. 2..4 minutes. Most game tunes have a loop of about 30 seconds. The Xaks have longer music, somewhat over a minute.

Well, can have a look at it to make a kss...

I don't think the timing is correct

That'll be $100.000 then..

One could ask tho.. but don't be surprised if they answer with "w000t? no Bach? who do you take us for?"

Think again, how big was that C64 orchestra again? 16 orso? I think that number is too high even. For an identical sound as what's in this mp3 you'd need 60 string players, 10 brass players, about 7 woodwind players, about 6 percussionists (that includes chromatic percussion), a massive church organ (for 5 chords in total ^_^), a choir of about 60 I think and two harps (I *think* two, that is). That's about 12x the C64 orchestra already..

+ The C64 was more popular than the MSX, so the orchestra might have liked it somewhat more, and while I dunno whether there was any entrance fee, it'd prolly have made some $ if the orchestra required some, we've seen the youtube vids, there was quite some audience. How many ppl would visit an MSX event of the same concept, with a minor ensemble, playing JP gametunes instead of scene tunes (e.g. the audience might be ex-scene or at least scene-followers) ? Also keep in mind there would be rehearsals, I dunno if they would cost anything. I've rehearsed an early movie of me with an orchestra of ~37 ppl, you aren't just dealing with instruments, but als with ppl.. giggling, talking, moving their seats, violins need to be tuned after a while, discussions about the score, slight modifications to the score etc. etc. etc. It's just so frigging labor-intensive and time-consuming.. and prolly costly as well.

I'm not against the concept, I just don't think it's doable in the way this tune requires, because I'm not going to let this tune be scrutinized by a minor ensemble.

You can always try to get a scholarship as a conductor at a University with a decent orchestra. I know UCSD, University of California San Diego, have a quite good semi professional orchestra and I've been to concerts with student conductors. I'm sure other universities have the same. Probably a lot harder to get in to University as a conductor than as a software engineer though.

And they get a pretty big audience even for unknown conductors/composers.
