Hi, Korax's Heritage! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> I would like to sign on to be a part of the team. I'm applying for a job as a musician (making songs for levels, intros, etc.) and I have a few samples to demonstrate. These are my personal compositions, so if you like them, that's great! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> This song is very heavy, yet very melodic. A much softer, orchestral piece. I am particularly proud of this one. So what do you think? <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->

Lucas you had me confused there for a second, (once again). I like your compositions, though I must say Jachr was my personal favourite of the 3. You used it in your demo maps you released several months ago, yes? About being pre-occupied with school, don't worry to much we all have other personal things that come first, for me it also happens to be school <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

<!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o --> EEK...sorry about that. <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: --> You're right, Jachr is in Dark Realms (MAP02). To be honest, it's also one of my favourite Dark Realms compositions (the most recent updated version and not just the demo), because it had the most miraculous conception I'd even seen. I recorded the song track by track, and the tracks don't sound that good by themselves. Nevertheless, when the multilayering came to, it just built up. Thank you for the feedback. <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: --> I'm gratified I satisfied you with my work. I just hope Ramborc enjoys it too.

Don't worry, it's good enough, you're in. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> Check your mailbox...

YOU MEAN IT? <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> [size=200:190nc175]SUPER[/size:190nc175]. You will NOT regret this. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Greetings. I'm no more the newbe! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

DAMMIT YOU'RE RIGHT! <!-- s:x --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt=":x" title="Mad" /><!-- s:x --> <!-- s:x --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt=":x" title="Mad" /><!-- s:x --> <!-- s:x --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt=":x" title="Mad" /><!-- s:x --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> LOL This is the newbe chain: when the next newbe comes, I'll pass it on. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Your music is cool, hope to hear more of it, heh! Welcome to the team!

[color=red:1jdz9k13]I like some parts of it, I always wanted to make my own little midis since I played Hexen on Nintentod 64. Mind telling me what you use to make them? Like, pc software...and don't say "Keyboards"..argg..[/color:1jdz9k13] <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt=":evil:" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

MIDI making can be tons of fun. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> I use Cakewalk Home Studio 2000 to make the MIDIs, but I guess I'm a little out of date <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> . This program is very professional: it's perfect for beginners and experts. I recommend this program to everybody. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> As for the keyboards, the best part about Home Studio is that you don't even need a keyboard! <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> You can enter the notes with a click of the mouse. I generally record on the keyboard, but I found that my beat was very inaccurate when it was on the computer, so I often just input the notes with the mouse for the final draft (My keyboard is also a small 5-track studio that can record up to 5 songs). I record the songs in the keyboard, just so I know it sounds good, then I enter the notes on the computer by manually using the mouse.

If your beat is inaccurate, you can always quantisise (?) (in German it's "quantisieren") the notes.

Hey that's actually a good idea (BTW It's "Quantize" <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> ). I never thought about that. I'll give it a try. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

So, RambOrc, I'm guessing German is your mother language. Am I right?

No. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> I was over 18 when I first started to learn it.

Rats, I was wrong again <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> . I wanted to take a course on German in Grade 10, but when I was in Grade 9, very few people applied for the course, so my high school dropped it. I think they dropped it for good. If I'm lucky, the school will open a Spanish course (I heard talk about it).

OTOH now 10 years later German is my functional mother tongue, if not the official one. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

This is my first attempt at writing a >2 word sentence in German:

?brigens, ich bin in einem Tanzkurs in meiner Schule, und unser Wintererscheinen war heute morgen. Wir waren sehr gut.

<!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> PS: I did some breakdancing too - frightened my mom because at one time I was doing a handstand and sometimes it appeared I was dangerously near the edge of the stage, but I didn't feel I was that close.

"Wintererscheinen"? What is that supposed to mean?

Oops ... I tried my best, and this is the ultimate peak of my German language knowledge. I tried to say "Winter show," but I see where I messed up - when I went to a server to translate "Wintererscheinen" to English, I saw what I did wrong. I think I made "Show" a verb and not a noun <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: --> .

LOL... "show" as a noun could be translated as "Vorf?hrung". <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

[color=blue:if2xp5bp]Well the lesson I learned today is to never trust servers for translating [/color:if2xp5bp] <!-- s:!: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_exclaim.gif" alt=":!:" title="Exclamation" /><!-- s:!: --> <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> [color=blue:if2xp5bp].[/color:if2xp5bp] BTW Je sais comment ecrire en Fran?ais, mais je ne peux pas le parler tr?s bien. Le cours je dois suivre est obligatoire, mais je l'aime. On doit le faire seulement en les huiti?me et neuvi?me grades, mais j'ai d?cid? le faire apr?s, et je le ferai encore. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> I know I'm a linguist at heart, because for several years now I have actually attempted to write a language of my own. <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o -->

LOL French is a language I can speak a bit and understand quite a lot when spoken by native speakers but I can barely read it and not write at all... <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

LOL I'm the exact opposite. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> I've always found reading and writing in French easier than actually speaking it, because when I read or write, I do it at my own pace (usually not as fast). When I'm speaking, OTOH, it's too on the spot for me, and my vocabulary just goes blank when I'm on the spot. As far as fluency goes I'm still unilingual, and my French language teachers the past years weren't the greatest, but this year I hope to get a good French teacher. <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: -->

I was learning French at scool, but I haven't used it since I finished it and forgot a lots of things. OTOH since I'm now living in Cyprus, I'm learning Greek now.

Bueno, pues si tienes suerte y entrar a estudiar castellano, av?same y hablarmos un rato en castellano <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> I feel a little dump here.. i know only a little english and a LOT spanish lol

J? que est? todo mundo falando suas l?nguas nativas, vou falar um pouquinho de portugu?s tamb?m! I just said that since everbody is talking with native languages, I'll use my portuguese a bit too. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> Anyway, like Janis said, I also had French in Highschool, but forgot big bits of it since then. Even though, I think I understood pretty much everything you were saying 4rth Class. Also understood everything Nightwolf said, since Spanish is very close to Portuguese (in fact I'm obliged by College to read both in Spanish and French, but since I'm not familiar with the last, I guess I'm loosing a lot of great books...).

what do you think about languages? The more the best? Or not? <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> Eh... maybe this must be another topic...

The more the best! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> Learn as much as you can, so touring the world can be much easier. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> Don't be afraid to speak a new language. Vous ne devez pas ?tre effray? pour parler une nouvelle langue. Sie d?rfen nicht Angst haben, eine neue Sprache zu erlernen. N?s aprendemos que uma l?ngua nova e n?s o aprendemos bem. Usted no debe estar asustado hablar una nueva lengua. NISOROLZ ZOROS FORGOHX YUROGU

but more fun if you speak only a little lol

Personaly I don't like learning french, but maybe thats because I'm being forced to do it.

I'm being forced to do it too, but I was the only one in my class not to hate the teacher so I got better marks <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

You should apply yourself: it's very important to learn languages - it opens wide horizons in terms of learning and developing oneself. By the way, when are you going to show the other musics you were talking about in the first post? Or do you plan to show it only for the team members...? <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

I don't know what you're talking about. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->
