[TerrarumRaven]

[JJMUZICACID]

Nice work!!



[jrhager84]

Not trying to take anything away from this, but why not make your *own* cues?

[ac252c]

@jrhager84

I am one of the two composers of an upcoming iOS game called Galaxy Pirate Adventure. If you are interested in my compositions you can check it out later.

I do transcriptions because I can learn other composers' technique in the transcription process.

[LLTheDarknessLL]

Beautiful and perfect. But does ANYONE know where I can get the full score and band and orchestra pieces for each individual part? :[

[miwagre18]

amazing simply amazing:)

[Boosiegoat334]

[TrevOwnsAll]

Buddy this is inreal what you have done

[IchiJewSan]

No dislikes so far.

[OtakuQ4aMi]

Sounds better in some parts sound worse in others.

[MarrickFait]

Hey, I love it, do you have any accurate MIDI sequences? The piano one is missing key notes, and it is aggrevating...>.>

Oh and please check out my MIDI's I made and give me any help if you can

[max05XIII]

wow u have given me new hope for ewql gold...this is just amazing

[ac252c]

@max05XIII

Thanks. In fact this one is done with the old NI version (with a lot of glitches), I upgraded to Complete Composer Collection PLAY edition in July.

[SPS148669]

I lke Famicom

[Keyblamast78]

Being a MIDI sequencer myself, all I can say to this is "Whoa...." to how much it sounds like the original.

[noelhouston]

you have such creativity. i like it so very much!

[TurboBabyPuncher]

Amazing!

Hell I'd hire you for sure if I wanted an amazing orchestrater(?).

[ac252c]

@TurboBabyPuncher

Thanks! In fact I am a sound engineer/composer and need to edit MIDI and audio data everyday but my company only make low-priced electronic toys and gadgets (sound quality/complexity worse than SNES)

[TurboBabyPuncher]

@ac252c

Ohhh, I can see how that might be unsatisfying, annoying, and frustrating...

My best of lucks to you and your career! You shouldn't be just making mediocre toy sound effects, that's for sure.

[ac252c]

@TurboBabyPuncher

Thanks for your encouragement! You're very kind.

[Devilssiren]

@ac252c I think that you are just creative as i am. i can do a portrait of Lightning. but you are just a perfect musician

[ac252c]

@Devilssiren

Thanks! I also watched your Lightning video, very good indeed, well done!

[Devilssiren]

@ac252c Thank you. I'll be making more soon as possible

[themaximum97]

Final Fantasy XIII DS :-).

[ThatBastard137]

Awesome dude sound great

[TheGundamseedfighter]

incredible!

[212809]

Nice. I like it.

[ac252c]

@212809

Thank you!

[Devilssiren]

@ac252c You Are Fantastic.

[capnbarfy]

Oh wow. O_o So you mean to tell me that this soundtrack wasn't fully orchestrated? Could've fooled me, but then again I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to music.

[ac252c]

@capnbarfy

By saying not perfect I mean the chords, notes, timings and use of instruments are not really same as the original. As a result, if someone copy the midi data I created and make a rearrangement from it without correcting those differences I can easily notice it.

[verivius]

Whoa! This is an amazing job!!!

[supergokuden]

yo u fuckin owned this song/midi man. nig upps to u!!!!

[Azshmo]

Where do you get the MIDI data in the first place?

[ac252c]

@Azshmo

I made it from scratch, transcribed it by listening to the OST.

[siuol0002]

a nice battle theme..and a good video

[SaionjiTemple]

Can you send me the midi file? Please? I wanna learn this.

[ac252c]

@SaionjiTemple

Piano only midi data is available in the video description. I won't upload the EWQLSO+Truepianos version as it will not play properly on other computer (it is not GM/GS/XG compatible). If you are interested in my project setting I can upload another video showing the use of instruments, signal routing etc, like the one in watch?v=TtPo5lKZZIs

[SaionjiTemple]

@ac252c Don't worry! I know what to do with the file.

[fyourcouchnigga]

Can anyone tell me the program he is using?

[ac252c]

@fyourcouchnigga

Please refer to the video description.

[ac252c]

Thanks to all game music lovers~~~!

[Sayeth0Di0Puppeth]

It sound so much like the real thing! Great job~ ^-^

[Devilangelofsky]

Man, U re Good!

[Explodius1990]

lol people would have crapped their pants if the boss music in Final Fantasy 4-6 sounded like this.

[gogokain]

@Explodius1990 We crapped our pants at those themes anyway, kid.

[Explodius1990]

@gogokain I meant the clarity of the song, not the quality. I have played Final Fantasy 4-6 and they do have awesome boss themes.

[frymastermeat]

Nice, I was expecting something similar to PS1/SNES technology when I came to it, but it's amazing how close this is.

[ac252c]

@frymastermeat

Thanks. It seems that Hamauzu also used some EWQLSO samples to compose FF113's music, that's why the sound quality is close. But I believe some of the instruments in the original version are real, not synthesized, especially the brass section.

[misaomineralwater]

This is fucking awesome I gotta say!

[ac252c]

@misaomineralwater

Thanks^^

[goniochromism]

excellent work here. great ear!

[dreadjoker10]

sweet thx so much for this!!

by the way can u do one for blinded by light plz?

i subbed!

[ac252c]

Hey thanks! Recently I don't have some really good guitar and drum sound samples (not enough money =.=) to make Blinded by Light. But if you still want to see it you can watch it on my friend's channel (ifurkend). He used soundfont to make a pretty good Blinded by Light.

[ac252c]

@dreadjoker10

Thanks~!

[TheTruthCommonSense]

i speak cantonese also.. how in the world do you transcribe this? by ear?!?!?!?

[ac252c]

@TheTruthCommonSense

Yes. In Japan this is called 耳コピ (copy by ear). Doing such things need to have great patience and a lot of time.

[Spiritsoulxx]

I love your work, it's very accurate, is it possible to request a song ?

[ac252c]

@Spiritsoulxx

Thanks. Accuracy depends on the time I spent and the complexity of the music I need to transcript. I visited your channel and noted that other poeple also requested you to make a song. How much time do you need to make one in average? Happy to know that you speaks Cantonese too:D

[agentj01]

Good job ^_^

[ac252c]

Thanks^_^

[Jakah016]

Cool!!! Though the piano at the beginning sounds too awkward. Nice try, but that could be better.

Sorry to sound like that, its just the best part and I hope to see someone get it perfect :) Everything else is SO AWESOME!!!!!! Almost exact. I got chills from it. :D COuld you attempt "Born Again?" from FFXIII ;D

I would kill to get my hands on a copy of those sound libraries. lol But $500-1000 is too much. :( lol

[ac252c]

Hey thanks, to tell the truth I am not a pianist so making this kind of things is pretty hard for me. I was struggling which notes should be deleted in order to make the score playable by a single player. I really want to see someone improve it and play it on a real piano and post a video response to me. For the libraries, they are not as expensive as you think. It cost less than $300 when there are discount. Also you can search soundsonline free-orchestra for a free starter version of EWQLSO.

[Jakah016]

@ac252c

Cool. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that this made song bad,

complete opposite, I loved you arrangement. :)

[Byakurai7]

I love this song! You did an amazing job :D

It's really epic during the boss battles. lol

Do you have this midi file up for downloading somewhere? I'd really love to try to play this. ^_^

[ac252c]

Thanks for the comment! In fact I am attempting to rearrange this piece into a piano solo, when I finished it I will post the midi data on vgmusic or my homepage. For the orchestra version in this video, I will not post the midi data as it is not compatible with typical midi synthesizers.

Be sure to check the improved version written on the video description, some wrong chords and notes are corrected in this version ^_^

[Byakurai7]

Sounds great, thanks!

Lol I can't wait to check that out once you're done ^_^

[ac252c]

@Byakurai7

Piano MIDI finished. Please check the link written on the video description~

[TWEShellshockr]

Awesome Translation. Very close to the original with those MIDI instruments. I have done two translations too (Fighting Fate and Valiant/Theme of the Calvary). Just Very GOOD indeed sir. Check Them Out when you get a chance.

[ac252c]

@TWEShellshockr

I am really happy that someone like you also doing similar things, I am going to watch your video, thank you very much!

[TWEShellshockr]

Awesome translation with the Midi Sounds. Sounds really close to the original. You should score it. You would make a killing of views for sure. with all the instruments. I Translated 2 of the tracks too. Fighting Fate and Theme of the Calvary. I also wrote them out on piano for fan made purposes too. :)

[ac252c]

@TWEShellshockr

What software do you use to make the score? I heard about Sibelius but it seems expensive.

[ac252c]

... I see, you are using finale

[TWEShellshockr]

Both Sibelius 6 and Finale 2010. Yes I love to use Reason 4 Software. I also apologize for double posting as well. I am still debating on which one i would want to work on next. ( Born Anew or Eden Under Siege.) Both of those are epic as well. I like to Score it as i put it together on Reason 4 and then play it on piano at the High School I work for. Oh yeah I think you should score this somehow like using Noteworthy Composer 2 Software. Very Easy to use

[ac252c]

@TWEShellshockr

Thanks for the info! I will give it a try. I will watch your new videos when you finished them.

[BlingBlams]

this was absolute brilliance my brother. Keep on doing...wutever u doing :D

[ac252c]

@BlingBlams

thank you very much!

[Sephiryith]

nm silly me lol

[ac252c]

never mind :p

[Sephiryith]

what software is that?
