Surprising sound from a tiny and crappy practice rig! This is a raw track with no post-EQ or anything else. See full info.

Another cover from FFVII. I've had this one for a while. I just decided to put it up since I haven't been doing much lately. I think this one's all EWQLSO Gold.

SID Test SID Test

I threw this track together to test the QuadraSID plugin. It's supposed to emulate a SID Station. I don't know how to work it properly yet, and I don't usually make this kind of stuff, so I'm aware that musically this track sucks.

Acoustic + orchestra. For this one, I used Musiclab RealGuitar 2 and EastWest Symphonic Orchestra Gold.

Forest Temple Forest Temple

This one is from Final Fantasy VII. I wanted to test Eastwest Symphonic Orchestra Gold and see how it works with other plugins (RealGuitar2, Boo Bass). The French Horn cuts a note out near the end because it's below the range of the sample library.

Gerudo Valley Gerudo Valley

From the Zelda: Ocarina of Time soundtrack. This time I'm testing MusicLab RealGuitar 2.1 and Garritan Personal Orchestra. I'm also using Boo Bass and Toontrack EZ Drummer.

Cheez Cheez

I figured I might as well put this here while I was uploading the others. It's a really old track I made years ago when I had just started messing with Fruity Loops (version 3.1). No plugins, just stuff built into FL.

Meridian Dance (Kikuta cover) Meridian Dance (Kikuta cover)

This is a cover of a piece by Hiroki Kikuta I made to practice and test more plugins. I had it sounding great with NI Bandstand, but it won't render properly, so I made due without. First track with Toontrack EZ Drummer, and I'm fairly impressed.

[workinprogress] [workinprogress]

I wanted to see if I could put something I was working on with my acoustic into FL Studio and make it sound realistic. Turns out I can't, so instead I experimented with splitting the guitar into four parts and giving those parts to a string quartet.
