- I've been trying to think of a good way to contribute to this thread for as long as its existed.
In some way or form, I feel a bit related to the opinion of suffering social stigma for my taste in music. I haven't had anyone in my real life to share this passion of mine with, and whenever I'm confronted with the question "what music do you like" and answer with "video game music", I'm faced with the usual uneducated, mocking response of "but its Super Mario, that's not music". Even though I don't need approval from anyone to like what I like, sensing that kind of uneducated and disrespectful approach to one of my long-time passions *does* feel a bit depressing.
It's really cool to meet other people online that not only share my taste in VGM, but also relate to that kind of outcast-ish vibe behind liking it. It's like VGM is globally misunderstood and unappreciated. I personally don't need an IRL friend that shares my tastes, but I can't deny it would be a plus, whereas not having one and knowing you might never have one is saddening. Over the years, I've just learned to cope with that reality by keeping this taste of mine to myself exclusively, so it's not so bad anymore. Though one has to wonder how pitiful it is to hide a part of yourself so vehemently.
Does anyone here have the trouble, or rather the habit, of keeping your taste for VGM to yourself? Do you always wear headphones when listening to music, or do you not care if others might hear it?

The remaster is done, but unfortunately, it sounds absolutely horrible. Some instruments are too loud (especially the orchestral percussion), and VGMTrans didn't convert the volume changes in the strings and the vibrato in the oboe to MIDI format, so I think I won't do a remaster of a SNES game again until there's a way to convert the live changes in the SPC700 sound chip to MIDI format.
I wish Square would have ported Final Fantasy VI to the DS too, so that game could have been as easily ripped as Chrono Trigger.

- Thanks for your replies people!

It's not like I'm not able to find people. As I said in my OP I really have easy time finding and clicking with people and sharing the many passions I have. Just with the area of Video Game Music it's hard to find anybody IRL. Even around Gamers! They're more like "dude wtf you're really into this shit". That makes me sad.
@MusashiAA
I just don't care. I listen to it whenever I like but mostly on headphones because people will be upset if you listen to any music for too long and there's like no way I could have a VGM session < 2 hours.

Yikes. I have days where I listen to it for nearly the entire 12 hours, even when I'm the John. What is wrong with me, I need to get serious about my drawing and exercise. I remember the reason I actually bought this thing in the first place was to motivate myself with the power of sound, not to slouch around shuffling my player...
I wish we could meet up and talk about our tastes, but knowing HCS, we are most likely in the other side of the planet.
It's nice when Coachella fest & Stage Coach starts, since you meet very different people, people who are just OUT there but they're all druggy snobs that listen to beyonce or mainstream stuff (They came for that, duh!). Which makes me a bit sad, they HAVE liked the Rhythm for certain songs though! So it's not all a lost cause, you just have to meet the right people. Some of them don't care about the source, they just care that it speaks to them in a spiritual way.
Also, speaking of fests, I've never been to any convention, and I don't think I plan to either. I just think I'm cynical. It's weird, I like to be around different people, even if they don't like what I like, but when I think about going to cons and such, I have a feeling everyone is going to be annoying as hell and completely misunderstand why I like music.
A lot of people don't seem to get that it's not about the source, but it speaking to you on a spiritual level, uplifting and ethereal, or just plan cool, vgm or not. Which I can mostly only get when speaking to people that do drugs. Then again, they might be preachy about it, or their mentality might really be elevated. Who knows, I sure as hell don't.
Feels bad man.

What program are you using? Is FL good for MIDI?

- I find "gamer" and "counter-culture" types the worst to be around. Try working in video game testing (misnomer-ly called "Quality Assurance") without dying.
Achievement unlocked.

Yes, I used FL Studio.

You mean like those nutty marxist hyper-feminists that brand everything attractive in videogames as sexist? Or those goons that have a very off-putting sense of humor because they try too hard to find humor where it really isn't? I hear ya. I hear those gals are an easy lay though, daddy issues and all. Then again, I wouldn't dare stick my dick in crazy. Or would I...? Probably not.
Also, that would be good! I'd be better off as a director though, too many games feel bland now imo.

I would feel guilty if my children were to have those crazy people as their mother. I think we do the world and the future of humanity a favor if we don't stick our dick in crazy.

- Unfortunately true, I've met some good men that submitted themselves to such people. All for temporary relief.
They could have just went & gone to find a better, loyal, more respectable woman, but no. They had to go the deep end to get at some extremist pussy. Now they're basically a puppet to them, probably being cheated on, or in a one-sided open relationship. Very pathetic.

- Finding a better, loyal, more respectable woman is not as easy as you make it out to be, especially for men such as the ones that end up with that kind of crazy people. Though I'm not really sure what you mean by "temporary relief"
BTW just to stay on topic, I've been lately working on NES covers of Mega Man 8's tracks potentially for a Doom fangame. I've got little help and even smaller chances of said covers to replace the currently used ones, which IMO are subpar in trying to portray the original PS1 tracks.
