Default Grand Cross (Final Fantasy 9) Orchestral

I thought that it would be a fun challenge for myself to try and orchestrate such a techno-type song. I've been playing with remixing and covers a lot to help teach myself music better alongside with classes, and I am fairly pleased with the results of this thus far!

Leave me some feedback for anything I can do to improve it, of course along with some "OMG AWESOME"ness.

I think this is really good :) well done
The instruments all seem to work together, although theres something about the trumpet (i think it trumpets lol) that doesnt sound very natural. You should try and make that fade out/'sustain' to make it siund less sudden

Overall amazing work 4.5/5

Thanks for the advice! And even more for such positive feedback :)

And yeah I had the trumpets set on Staccato. The notes are such short bursts they aren't hit right/on time if they aren't Staccato, but I could underline it with another trumpet track, to give it a little extra sustain!

This is little more than a MIDI Rip with Slightly-Better-Than-MIDI Samples

You'll actually get feedback when you post a remix.

Well, it's my start. I wanted to improve the sound before doing much else. Took me long enough to do this as I'm still learning. What I plan to do is keep the original portion, but tweak it some still, and for the second I'm hoping to add more original parts and mix it more. As for now, I still love what I've gotten done here. :)

Yeah I remember you saying something like that in your last post. It's okay, some of us have cool avatars and some of us don't. I understand the segregation.
