Hi again, everyone!
When I first got BGT, I downloaded the Orchestral Pack on the Blastbay site, and loved it. The thing is, there are only twenty loops. I doubt very much that I'll have twenty areas or less, and at least two of those loops are better suited to battle encounters.
I have looked at royalty-free music and sounds, mostly on Sound Dogs, and the prices make me whine piteously because they cost so much and the Aussie dollar is weaker than the US dollar so they're even more expensive for me. I'm not saying I won't ever buy royalty-free things, because I at least need good-quality and legally acquired sounds for my future game and I know I'll have to invest in sound libraries and very likely music loops as well. However, if there is anyone in this community who is willing to put a few pieces together for me, my inbox is open, or you could simply respond to this thread.
I don't expect anyone to have access to an orchestra, but I do know that certain brands of electronic keyboards produce extremely realistic sounds for many instruments. I have a Casio keyboard myself, but I don't have a midi cable and I don't much like most of the instruments in its banks anyway. They sound fake. I know Yamaha's keyboard voices are sublime, but I don't have one of those beautiful machines. Even if I did, I know my keyboard-playing skills are minimal at best. I never mastered the smooth transition and although I know what sounds right to my ears, when I play it it gets choppy if I make it too complex. 
So if anyone can help me out by making some music loops, please contact me. I won't specify anything beyond it at least sounding orchestral at this point—my game is a fantasy one and electronic-sounding music would not suit it at all, which is why I've been finding it so darned hard to find what I need on sites like Opsound.
