Your own comments about the mix, for example the inspiration behind it, how it was made, etc:
I'd been writing a lot of orchestral music lately and really wanted to hear an orchestral version of Judgement Day. I didn't find one, so I decided to write one myself.


Cheers!

Note for note with original + clippy drums, and minimalist synths. Most likely a rip.


NO

Its totally not orchestra.

In case anyone needs it, http://www.tzone.org/~llin/psf/packs2/FF7_psf.rar - 413 Judgment Day

Prot's got it. Same tempo, note-for-note. The sounds used here weren't even bad. Fairly nice sounding cover. Hope the samples weren't pirated. :-) Might as well say "Nobuo Uematsu & some patches - Final Fantasy 7 Judgement Day". Not even worth renaming the title, I see.

NO

Can't we just override this out?

I won't; I can't listen to PSFs for some reason right now, but if it's a rip just OR it.

I only NO OVERRIDE for guarenteed rips. This is not a guarenteed rip. There are some parts of the song that are not in the original. Not just percussive and sfx either. Thus, its 90% likely to be a rip, but since its not 99.89% likely, I wont N.O.

[DarkeSword]

Fair enough.

[Malcos]

This sounds really nice - but won't pass because it's just too close to the original for my liking.

NO

If I were to categorize the arrangement it would definitely a conservative take of the piece.

Other than the lack of arrangement this is pretty cool. One issue I have here is the lack of definition between the instruments. I can understand if you wanted to create a textural orchestra piece, but I think for this kind of piece less reverb would have served the piece better. There's a wash of reverb everywhere with no sense of depth between strings, choral lines and percussion. That needs to be worked on.

Cool, but it's a No due to the arrangement issue.
