OCR00705 - *YES* Lufia 'The Final Reunion' *FT*

[Saunders]

Oh, sorry about that. I had Paradox of the Pendulum up in January, but I took it down to make room for new files. I figured it had gotten turned down by the panel already. Anyhow, a much better mix IS up there, which I have already submitted, and that one is the Lufia Reuniting At Last arrangement, which you can review if you want in place of the other one. Sorry about that.

*judgement pending*

The quality of this is very good, I especially like the string sounds. The amount of reverb used was just right and the song is mixed down well. The ending was also thought out quite well too. My only gripe with this is that I don't think the drums were appropiriate. But that's just my opinion.

YES.

[Saunders]

Shit, I can't believe I forgot to vote in my own thread..
Well on a quick re-listen for specifics, I'd have to agree with Malcos. Everything sounds good, no, great. But the drums kinda don't seem to fit.

Vote: Yes.

[Antonio Pizza]

I didn't have a problem with the drums. Post it. Yes.

[Disco Dan]

Ok... there better not be anything wrong with this one. All those Yes votes have gotten my hopes up. Don't let me down guys...

Downloading still....

Almost done...

OMG I'm so excited!

playing:

Hey these strings almost sound real/fake! Ok nothing wrong with it. Just slow and lame, like Bryan Adams. Ok, now we're talking about a bad trumpet sample, but good ones are hard to find. Anyway, it's cheesey, but I can only assume this is how the game music goes and I feel sorry for anyone who cried while playing the game when this music came on. Seriously folks. This is some lame shit. But it's well arranged. Oh.

Those are the drums. I see. Yes, I have mixed feelings. Ok. Imagine you're watching a guy on stage. He's sitting behind a drumset. A tape plays some schmaltzy orchestral stuff for about 2 minutes, and around the 2 minute mark the drummer starts playing along with the tape. It sounds kind of like that. They just don't mix well. OR maybe they're both just mixed badly. I can't tell which. Musically there's not much I can complain about here, which is a shame, because I enjoy complaining about things. Yeah the notes are all right. I just... yeah those drums against that orchestral-esque background... it's grating. I don't know. If you guys have no problem with it, I'll just go ahead and vote NO anyway just to see what happens. It's iffy, but I'm gonna stick with my gut on this one.
