Gerudo Valley. I'm not a brass person so I forced myself to do this song in order to use brass in ways I normally wouldn't use it just to get the experience.

Recorded it using a Yamaha Motif keyboard, Sonar X1 and EastWest samples.

Depends on me. If I'm in the mood and get on a roll not too long at all. Hardest part is playing the original, trying to figure out what sounds they used, then trying to match the sounds to what I have.

I used 20 different instruments for that song.

Rough guess, 30-60seconds an hour for something like this.

faster if in the mood, much much slower if not in the mood.

Always. Always. Always loved the ffvii sound track. I can picture every sequence of the game where the song occurs. The music in that game is so descrpitive.

I don't have access to a high end recording studio with a full concert hall to record cellos 1st violins 2nd violins, bass... and so on lol.

I load up a sample and it maps out onto my keyboard then I hit record on my DAW and play the keyboard recording the sampled sounds.

All of it was played using a keyboard, no prerecorded rifts or runs.

 

[phunky.buddha]

Nice! Just curious- it's still badass whether you made the samples or not.

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

this makes me feel like i want to go on an epic quest somewhere...lol.

sounds good Jeff!
