@nolifer: The cellphone industry isn't even that big anymore, it's actually declining. @last life: They're all EWQL products. As for the 'making-it-sound-real', there's no definate answer. It just takes a huge chunk of time to get them to sound great. They eat up a lot of RAM, I might add.

Yes, and the point is well taken. It's just that, as you said earlier; "And major props to you for writing something that I didn't stop listening to, like I usually do on this forum." Perhaps I felt the same way, but in a much more full quantity. If I didn't bear myself to listen through any piece, my comments wouldn't be much fair at all. Perhaps it's just my narcissistic nature speaking, or maybe the thin air up here on my lofty perch is getting the better of me. In any case, for the mere sake of not trying to antagonize you further I've decided to stop writing before I can complete this sente

Considering that my first post in this thread was made over two years ago... could there be a slight chance that the file upload was pruned by YC at some point? And yes Ming, I did decide to relocate my chariot in order to seek new exciting destinations back then. Now, as you see, I'm back specifically for your contentious quarrelling needs.

I do feel the occasional breeze here up on my piedestal, I agree. The thing though, is that I think many people who lay too much weight on technical aspects such as excessive scores, proper instrumentation volume regulation, orchestra seat positioning and so on often pay for it in the overall musicality. Those composers obviously want their listeners to have compositional interest (such as this forum's members) for them to appreciate their work. My main, and only, concern is how to reach out for those who don't have a musical/compositional background and still fall for a piece. Therefore, I try to use easy passages, yet still striving for nice modulations, melodies and themes which every average Joe can appreciate -- without having to go through a score (whatever that has to do with how 'good' the music is, I have no clue...). - Noir7.

^ No instrument is out of range, since the library I use have real recorded instruments. Also, scores are overrated. If you can't judge a piece of music without looking at a score, there's something wrong. Music is just that for me, music. No pens or papers or 'hopes' of real-life orchestras performing my compositions. With a sequencer, I make them sound the way I want without much restriction.

Thanks. I suppose it is more cinematic in nature, yes...

I didn't write a score, I played each instrument manually with Cakewalk Sonar. The sounds are in fact MIDI, yet heavily modified and sampled :o

I don't usually expose my scores for paranoial reasons =) Is there anything you'd like to know?

Hey everybody, here's a new tune that I wrote for flute, oboe, clarinette and bassoon. They're all supposed to represent children playing around and such :glare: More info & download here: SoundClick MP3: 7rion - Band page with free MP3 music downloads on SoundClick

Thank you so much for you encouraging words!

Here is a new orchestral piece of mine. It tells a story of a New York City bum who befriends a young puppy dog, which he named Mellow. As the years went by, Mellow died, leaving the bum alone in the harsch enviroment of NY. Time went on, and when the bum's own days ticked down to a final, the two friends meet up in Heaven.

@Majesty: Not quite a video game score... it's simply music to a short story I wrote =P

Here's the finale of my musical story, "Wings of Tragedy" Here's the tune: Wildfire Flight (Kato's Defeat)

Here's a piece for piano & cello... and some staccato violas in the background =P http://two.xthost.info/fanom11/Angelicv2.mp3
