Antix: If you ever get around to doing that, let me know.
Wedge: MIDIs, quite honestly, are the only things that will work. We can't higher an orchestra, and the only one I have access to would sound worse than a MIDI. I am learning new techniques and working on it. In order for me to consider using different people with different sounds though, I need to hear what people can do. If anyone would like to try to show me what they can do with a midi, let me know. I will send you a midi of the theme from UE, along with my MP3 conversion, and you could convert the midi to an MP3 using whatever means you use. Then send me the final result. That way I can make a judgement, rather than just go on people saying "this sounds good" or "I can do it".
Rampage: A music team is certainly a possibility. It's too early to make decisions as to that sort of thing right now. As soon as UE2 gets rolling, we can discuss that idea more.
