    My new, untitled album! NEW: Teaser for the next game!

    Whelp, after playing guitar for about 2 and a half years, I've decided I need to work on recording me playing stuff for an actual album of sorts. What kind of music am I going to be playing on this album, you ask? Why, video game tunes, of course! It's going to be 100% video game songs in fingerstyle.

    So I'm making this topic for a few things. The first and most important is that I need to decide what songs to do. Generally, if there's a tab in the right style for it, I'll probably be able to play it, but not every song has a tab for it, of course. Right now, I've got Lost Paintings from SOTN and Interrupted by Fireworks from FFVII recorded and about 80% done each. I'm open to suggestions, but I'm probably going to lean towards Final Fantasy songs since those are the ones that I know the best.

    Next, I'm going to also be publishing this on Lulu (provided I can legally do so) and want to know who would buy a copy if I did so. I'm either going to buy them in bulk myself and sell them to people for zero profit (it's cheaper if you buy in bulk by about a buck) or I'm going to create a private link where you can buy it yourself and have it shipped to you. It'd be 4.50 and 5.50 respectively.

    Finally, I would like to know who might be willing to do the art for the disc and case. There are a couple of people I'm considering already because of their style, but I'd love to know who might want to help out here.

    No offence, but why would we even consider buying your album? If all you're doing are cover songs from video games, then many of us can already listen to cover songs--for free. I just don't understand why you can't get a soundclick page and upload them there.

      Hey Zeroth, no offence, but why did you even bother posting in this topic if you don't give a **** about my project?

        To get a better understanding of why you're considering charging people for a bunch of cover songs.

          I'm not charging people anything. I'm making absolutely no money from this whatsoever. I was just wondering if people would like a copy of the CD I'm going to be making from Lulu or not.

          Yeesh.

            That's perfectly fine, but why not upload your songs to, say, soundclick, and give people a choice for those who want to hear your music but would rather not have to pay for it?

            A copy of the CD is great for those who want something physical, and the added benefit if a pamphlet (and hopefully better sound quality).

            My opinion is that the soundclick route is better, and you'd still be able to display the album art and whatnot.

              Well I've already told the people that I actually like that I might be able to send them a free copy. It's not like I'm making this album for the whole world to hear, either. It's just something I'm doing at my guitar teacher's house with his recording gear for the hell of it. Before yesterday, I wasn't even going to offer it up to other people.

                Does you guitar teacher have a full home studio, or just a few pieces of recording gear?

                And can we hug and make up now?

                    Sivart, I would like to collaborate and record "The Almighty" from Persona 4 with you.

                    Also when did Nevane grow claws?

                        Soundclick is bull**** anyway. Cluttered, terrible interface.

                        For putting your tunes out there, check out bandcamp.com or soundcloud.com.

                        But. As far as the CD goes. I'd love to hear your tunes, but don't think I'd buy a CD.

                        Seconding Sonic The Hedgehog. Anything from the first game.

                          I have a s***ty Myspace musician page I made years ago, with four songs or whatever on it. The rest of my music that's online is at Last.FM. I made a label page, and have three or four "albums" there.

                            Magus, don't be too hard on Sivart. He's probably too young to have played any of those, anyways. ;3~
