BROS, SIS, HEAR ME!

So yeah, the idea has been brought up on irc, who would be up to do a Gametabs Album?
Something collaborative and of good quality that would show our motivation and passion for vg musics
We could focuse on only one serie or several ones. Some ideas:
Mario, Zelda, Castlevania, Megaman, Chrono, Golden Sun, Donkey Kong Country, Metroid, Mother, Seiken Densetsu, Pokemon, Sonic, Street Fighter, Touhou, ...

So, anyone interested?

You are talking about gametabs arrangements right? I just assumed youd go with the most influentual ones floating around, i.e. the ones that promoted gametabs the most.

for example: spira unplugged - stamen
radical dreamers - kabuki
that chrono trigger one - that dude

etc. etc.

Cant add songs not arranged by us in our albums. Kabuki should use his radical dreamers and other songs he arranged if he wants to make a cd but not a stamen arragement.

well, not necessarily fingerstyled or already existing arrangements. Actually I was thinking about graviting around a fixed idea (like salem's one, the ending themes)

Whatever, it's a really nice project to make a kind of "collection" from gametabs users :)

Actually it's stopped me from doing a number of things, out of respect for the copyright holders.

The question I'd ask Jacob is, what's the difference between people posting youtube videos, vs. putting it on a CD? If you're okay with seeing everyone's performances on YouTube, you shouldn't have a problem with a CD of the same thing. Unless y'all were thinking of actually SELLING the CDs. That would be way worse of course.

----------

And then I realized that the chord progression from Chrono Cross's Another World is the same progression as the chorus from Peace of Mind by Boston, and life was never quite the same.

You were planning on

You were planning on releasing a video game music cover album, then decided not to?

BTW, that's not related to copyright. Those are your personal ethics; by copyright law, remember, for-profit and for-free are equivalently "wrong".

And if copyright law didn't stop you from uploading covers to Youtube, as you say, it should not stop you from making an album, so why did it? (Answer: it didn't. Your ethics did, not copyright.)

I meant that copyright stopped me from doing other things--not related to performing music myself. I assumed your original comment was of broader scope than just making a cover album.

So fair use includes use for profit? I thought that they drew a line between using material for education, etc. vs. using it in a money-making situation.

No, "s'never stopped anyone [from making a VGM cover album]".

Yes, there is a distinction re: fair use. What makes you think either case is fair use, though?

Anyway, enough copyright off-topicness. Jacob, go sit in the corner for a week as penalty for trolling.

I'm guessing you don't want me to actually answer the question you asked, as you then immediately said "enough copyright off-topicness". Damn confusing, though--it didn't come off rhetorical. :-)

2nd dimension of the sound variety!

I forgot you're a mod! You should go all Ministry of Truth on the thread: delete Jacob's original comment and any comments pertaining to it, and then erase the word "next" from his most recent post.

ON TOPIC!

I would try to stick to arrangements where having the music on guitar brings something new to the piece. A lot of the tabs here are "recreation" tabs. They are mostly fun in that they let people recreate the music themselves--but don't necessarily sound good to just listen to.

Also, what other "official" projects are there currently back-burning?
