Yeah, it's the main reason I don't take full credit for any of these works. But yeah, I don't mind these remasters, I usually do them in my spare time when I really feel like it. I have one that I did on the GBA, I'll have to record that one manually too...
Well, it's not about what you use to make music, it's about what you end up with. So I'm fine with using MIDIs. However, since I don't use them when I do my remastered versions, I feel like people think I do... So, if you remake soundtrack from scratch, people think you're just another MIDI user and don't give you as much importance. I used to get the notes wrong, now I've improved, but for what? If you can just take it from the game... You know what I mean, right?
