Sonic Adventure 2 "Ad Lucem" (Towards the Light)

[Blue Magic]

This is an old WIP is started a long, long time ago. I ended up losing it due to a computer screw up, so I had to spend about two months redoing it.

It is a remix of the "Keys the Ruin" or "The Pyramid Cave" theme. I honestly can't describe what genre this would fall under, so I'll let you guys figure that out.:?

I've only have a little over two minutes done so far, but I consider this one to be one of my toughest projects to date.

Tell me what you think.

Great arrangement, and the rhythms are fantastic throughout, but that guitar sound is no good; a piece like this demands a real nylon string guitar and anything less just won't cut it.

Nice percussion writing, though the bass drum could use a little more audible prescience. I can feel it just fine, but can't really hear it.
The piano seems kind of cramped and synthetic in it's little corner, give it some delay and a bit of a room sound to make it connect a bit better with the rest of the instruments.

great start though i am digging this; it's just going to hinge on getting a good live guitar sound.

Thanks for the input OA. I had a feeling someone was going to say something about the guitars. Unfortunately, I don't have the hardware needed to record myself playing. If I can't find any better guitar soundfonts, I'll probably have to collab with someone.

Nice vibe on this one dude. Yeah I gotta second the live guitar on this. It would really just put this over the top. Not to say the sequencing on the guitat isn't already impressive but actualy guitar would really kick ass.

Finally did a little more work on this.

I made a few changes with the EQing and got a new sample. I'm also using a new wave editing program, so the file is a bit larger than its supposed to be.

I'll fix that a little later.
