i feel like this is about the closest we've gotten so far: https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00480

Mi was highly ambitious 'n' got somethin' new for ya. )) This time, I really went straight into the acoustic guitar section and put the mighty fire of dynamics and articulations in there. It sounds soo much better and really vivid now - and I did it without completely butchering the virtual steel strings (kinda fits my Life Force mixing concept as well). I didn't even thinkt that I could get surprising results like these out of the VSTi. So, huge thanks for mentioning this stuff as a guitarist, things I wouldn't even have recogized in the whole mix. As a bonus, I also composed a completely new and kinda heroic part with french horns (as well as lots of other new stuff that is not in this little part - but I still have to keep some secrets as a music wizard for the coming track ;D). ... Here's the audio sample (you might have to play it and reload the site to listen to the full sample with the length of 1:07 minutes - same goes for all previous samples):   CC - FF7 (Excerpt) - Acoustic Guitar Next Level.mp3 I'm really looking forward to your guitarist's opinion on this (after a good amount of nightly sleep, of course). The next upload for my Crisis Core: Final Fantasy remix "Wings Of Freedom" will be the full track with a length of around 4:21 minutes. ))  

i think it needs to be from a game. tunes from cracktros of much pirated games would be an interesting exception. in theory.   

Are remixes of music from the demoscene welcome here at OCR?

I'll jump in with a couple of thoughts about the flute: I think it is a little too far forward, and it also sounds unnaturally wide...? It needs to be more focused in the middle of the soundstage. Also, the truncated staccato notes in the melody are a little distracting, not just because they're not in the style of the original, but they're too stark of a contrast with the flowing legato feel of the whole piece. The arrangement as a whole is very nice!
