Hello NSM community, I am quite new to this community, and relatively new to the large never-ending abyss that is video game music, so I was hoping to gather some advice on what to play for my youtube channel that I am going to be making. It's more of something to store videos of me playing so I can track progress or find playing errors, but I don't want to play anything boring, and wouldn't mind actually getting a fanbase either (though the slim chances). Oh, it might also help to know that I play Cello. I can Transpose the music to be in Cello range if necessary, so the note range doesn't matter. This is a current list of all the pieces I have ready to play (err, practice) in no particular order.

Boss Battle - Final Fantasy 4
Dragon Roost Island Theme - LoZ Wind Waker
Dr. Wily Stages 1 - Mega Man 2
Forsaken Sanctuary - Soul Calibur 3
Mortal Kombat Theme
Dig Dug
A Theme - Tetris
Tumbler - World of Goo

Any advice on what to play, and even what not to play is welcome! Thanks for the help, and sorry for the small text wall!

On my Macintosh I loved using Finale to compose music, but I couldn't find a Finale for windows, all I could find was Finale Notepad (which if none of you have used it... it's pretty bad). So what do you Windows users use?

Hello everyone! I just joined this (what must be, all vgm musicians are amazing) amazing community! I have been using Ninsheetmusic for what must be about a year now, and I never even realised there was a forum! I am glad to be able to join with other people who enjoy the wonders of video game music like me!

I remember I first came to this site about ... 3 or 4 years ago? When I was a little  6th grader. I wanted to learn more music to play on the violin, so I figured I would learn video games music, since I listen to it all the time. I discovered this site, and thought it was amazing, though I couldn't play any of the music (excluding Zelda's Lullaby) because well... I was a 6th grader, I sucked XD

Then, near the beginning of this year, I decided I would make a youtube channel so I could freely store videos of me playing (I now play Cello!) and see how I improve over the years. I rediscovered this site after looking up video game music (because it is so awesome) and decided that I want most of my music to come from here. Just today I discovered the forums, so I naturally joined!

I can't wait to start getting involved with this community! And I would appreciate if someone could tell/teach me how you guys are able to write the music that is in this site (there must be some sort of trick, eh?). I hope soon I will be able to contribute once I gain some more experience in music! I will see you guys around the forums!

EDIT: Thanks, must have missed this thread!
