Haha, that was awesome. I really dig those acoustic sort of tones. How did you get those?

Well, I have an acoustic with extremely oxidized strings on it. I haven't had time/money to go and buy a new set, so I just used it. Then I layered my Agile on top of it with a fairly glassy tone, and i played both octave parts separately as to give it that 12-string effect. Just a ton of layering work. Still not positive I got the result I wanted, but I wanted to match the sampled guitar in the original song. Thanks for checkin' it out :)

Ahh, cool cool. I thought it was either a piezo sound or that you layered an acoustic track with some electric mixed in there. Looks like it was the latter. Either way, you matched the original tone really well. :yesway:

Wow, excellent job man, bravo!

As an aside: Starcraft 1 brings back so many memories. Back in the day, a bunch of friends around the neighbourhood and I would go walk up to the local community centre in the summer vacation, where there is a computer access program. It's basically a room in the basement with 8 pcs and 1 mac and we would spend so much time there LAN'ing it up. The guy working there played with us too haha.

Don't worry, we got a lot of fresh air too! :)
