A Spitfire Audio DC Stargirl Scoring Competition submission by a sleep-deprived father of a newborn. Be nice, and support your fellow composers! Instruments used: Spitfire Audio BBC SO Various LABS instruments #MyStargirlScore

Downloaded all the available Spitfire Audio LABS instruments (free!!) today, and about 15 minutes later had this little piece put together. Wonderful, inspiring sounds! My wife commented that this piece sounds very optimistic compared to my usual morose odd time signature stuff, hence the title. #spitfireaudio #LABS

Sometimes you just need a song to help you get things done. Perfect for making anything an adventure. Performed with the FIshman TriplePlay MIDI pickup, and the wonderful Plogue chipsynth SFC plugin for those classic SNES tones. #Shorts Fishman TriplePlay: https://www.fishman.com/tripleplay Plogue chipsynth SFC: https://www.plogue.com/products/chipsynth-sfc.html

I've always had a soft spot for the music of the 16-bit console era, particularly the music of the SNES. A lot of creative problem solving went into composing these classic tracks. With only a minuscule amount of memory available, composers were forced to use tiny bit-reduced samples and loop little segments of each to create the illusion of sustain. The result was the characteristic gritty, lo-fi timbres we've come to know and love. And of course, who could forget the classic "not-really-a-reverb" reverb! Even with these limitations, and an archaic tracker-based note input system, composers were able to create some of the most epic and memorable soundtracks in the history of gaming. With the Fishman TriplePlay and Plogue chipsynth SFC plugin, guitarists can finally explore these classic tones for themselves. Here is my rendition of "Secret of the Forest," from one of the greatest RPGs of all-time, "Chrono Trigger." All parts were tracked live, and to provide an honest demonstration of what the Fishman TriplePlay is capable of, no quantization was applied. Getting one specific part down almost killed me. Can you guess which one? Enjoy!

Welcome to my lesson for "The Sixteen Men of Tain," by Allan Holdsworth. Yes, yes, the title of this video is a kind of false advertising because I talk a little more than I had anticipated, but there's a lot to talk about!
