Hi everyone, I'm obviously new :P

I came across this website while trying to find the sheet music compilation for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and thought 1. maybe someone here could help me find a copy (I believe it is out of print and out of stock at all the websites that had at one time sold it, it seems like I'm trying to find the holy grail or bigfoot here) and 2. I thought it was cool that there was a community for Final Fantasy music. I only recently began picking up piano while in college, but I hope to at least become somewhat competent with practice :)

Hey everyone. I'm Antares.

I used to be really active on the music boards over at GFF, but after being away for awhile I came back and found it's pretty dead. So I thought I'd try over here.

I'm especially interested in the composition competitions. I used to be a piano performance major headed for a graduate degree in composition, but switched to a more lucrative career, so I'm glad to have an excuse to continue writting.

cowboy bebop

Olarin — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:20:31 GMT

My copies of the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack discs (vol. 1, 2, 3, and the one from the movie) arrived in the mail the other day... this is enough shinies to keep me occupied for a while. Costs a pretty penny to get the legitimate article from Japan, but it's worth it. (Although I really don't understand why they don't do a U.S. release of the soundtrack, and/or put it up on Amazon MP3 or something; for every dollar they get from somebody like me who's willing to do the research and get the right thing, they must be losing dozens of times that to bootleggers.)

So, yeah, there's going to be a lot more Yoko Kanno charts in the book at my next gig.

Question...

StevenK — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:47:11 GMT

I have about 5 pages made completely in E major...there are still 5 pages needed to be added to it, but they have to be in A Flat major. Basically, I need to change the key signature during the piece for the second half without altering the first half....How do I do this?. Much help appreciated, thank you!

ps. By mistake, I posted this post in the wrong section. Sorry about that.

Are you going to get the music for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2?

I'd really like to buy the music from FFTA2!! Are you ever going to upload it?

Phantom Hourglass: Ocean Theme

JrvUnleashed — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:56:42 GMT

Alright, the filed been fixed now.

I'm happy to say that I've submitted the first Phantom Hourglass Arrangement to the archive. This is the song that plays while you're sailing around the main ocean area. It's written for band, and tips for playing it can be found at the bottom of the first page. Hope you enjoy.

Hey there!

Heyo everyone!

My name's Milen, I'm a violinist and self-taught, to a mediocre degree, pianist for the purpose of my goal - "composition in the media." More specifically, the gaming industry!

For the modern age, my main influences would be the lovely Yoko Shimomura, famed Nobuo Uematsu, John Williams, Howard Shore, Harry Gregson-Williams, a bit of Hanz Zimmer - though D Minor gets tiring! (Weew! Music Jokes ^^) For popular music, my main band would currently be Muse. (No snarks about some of the redundant chord progressions!)

Let's see...
Tchaikovsky is probably the composer I look up to the most, for his orchestration and expression. It's only natural, since , in the end, my career goal is to invoke emotion in an audience.

Ask anything you need to know ^^

Pleasure to be here!

Hiiiii! :D

'Ello! :D Thought I'd come and introduce myself; since I didn't do that before...

My name's Rena and I loooooooooooove Kingdom Hearts. So much that it's almost crazy. .-. Yosh. I'm an artist and a writer, but I used to play violin so that might have something to do with why I *coughhackattempttocoughhack* arrange stuff. And Disney stuff is awesome <3 Yupyup!

Sooooo, other than that, HI! :]

That pattern/rhythm with the clock sounds...!

Koori-kun — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:06:51 GMT

Now that I remember, there's something I've always been eager to find out and never found anyone who's been able to answer me...

OK, there's this pattern/rhythm with clock sounds that I've heard identically in various songs and I've always wondered where could it have come from, and maybe why is it.. uhh.. "popular" for lack of a better word.

I'll link the songs I remember that have those clock sounds:

Toshiro Masuda - Survival Examination (from the OST of Naruto) [At the beginning of the song]
YouTube - Naruto OST 2 - Survival Examination

Nobuo Uematsu - For the Reunion (from the OST of FF7:AC) [Starting at 1:08]
YouTube - FFVII Advent Children Music - For The Reunion

Chikayo Fukuda - Title (from the OST of .hack//GAME) [Starting at 0:10]
YouTube - .Hack Infection~Title

Hi guys, need advice on Music OCR!

lorenzini — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:45:49 GMT

Hello everybody!

I'm brand new to this forum, but it's really something to behold. I never knew I would find an Arranger's forum that is this active. Great! :)

So my question is: Are any of you familiar with Music notation OCR programs?

I am currently scoring in Logic and actually doing fine with it, but receive lots of sheet music from outside that has been printed from Finale, Sibelius or some other notation program.

I also receive Finale and Sibelius files which I need to be able to edit. I know that Sibelius does pretty well with PhotoScore, but I don't know how well.

So what I need to find out is, what is the best Music Notation OCR program you guys can think of?

Thanks!
