OCR00745 - ActRaiser 'Thy Followers'
Actraiser 'Thy Followers'
Wonderful! Though I've never played Actraiser, this sits really well with me. I might go so far as to say this is one of the best orchestrations on the site. I can tell Russell really knows what he's doing here. I could go on and on about how it strikes me as being a serious piece of "classical" music rather than someone deciding to remix using orchestral instruments. Anyway, I would highly recommend this. Edit - almost forgot: yes, I dd hear the clipping at the end. I heard some earlier on as well, but I'm too lazy to go back and find it.

I heard the clipping very clearly at the end, didn't hear too much if any earlier.
This remix is well done. Everyone has forgotten how versatile Yuzo used to be back in the 16-bit days. I am used to listening to ActRaiser Symphonic Suite arranged by Yuzo himself using a real orchestra, so this can sound a bit thin to me and it takes some unexpected turns, but it is by no means bad! Recommended!

Well, I don't know anything at all about remixing itself, but I know what I like, and I like what I hear. I've always liked orchestral peices, and this is a very nice sounding mix. The only reason it's not at the top of my list, is because my list is quite...extensive. But I still quite like it. :D

Thanks for the comments ladies and gents!
Yes, there unfortunately is some static in the end due to a very bad flute sample. Thankfully, I've managed to get that fixed but it was too late to go back and record everything. Don't worry -- it's been fixed for future songs. ~Russ

Excellently done, this arrangement takes the original, and builds on it in terms of mood, style, and overall greatness. I really think this mix is excellently done, it sounds so.. official.. so professional, so good. Give it a listen, if you're a fan of arrangements or not.

Nice job, Russell. Definitely one of the better orchestral arrangements. Sounds like an actual movie or cartoon or game. I really just like the feeling given off by this song. Most orchestral pieces seem very assembled, but this one actually gives off good emotional vibe.

Sounds quite a bit like the Actraiser Symphonic Suite. :) Good stuff, definitely.

Oh... my... goodness...
I can't pass up reviewing this song. It's just so awsome it's awsome! It's awsome it's awsome it's awsome! But can I just say it's awsome and leave it at that? NO! This is more awsome than can withstand just saying awsome and doing something else! I have to go through this mix section by section and declare each part the awe inspiring work of art that it is! Yay!! We begin with an awsome high-pitched string pull, and then some horns filling in color. And then an awsome flute track comes in... And then WOW!!! The horns find the actual melody for a few measures! It's grand, it's dramatic... I feel like I'm sitting at the Myerhoff Symphony Orchestra listening to some really cool music... and then there's a dramatic pause, and and and IT'S AWSOME! After the pause, a nice string section comes in with a bit of classical filler... leading back into another part of the melody! And a bassoon or other low wind instrument takes up a bassline that is actually the mellody for this part, but he doesn't just leave this instrument to solo... no, no indeed. He throws all kinds of sparkly strings on top of it! Yay! And then the clarinets pick up! And after they go through their bit, horns and strings go together to give you an EPIC GRAND AWSOME bit again, followed by the HORNS giving you the filler! And then there's some lower horns.... and then a double-bass or chello to give a dark brooding section that I don't remember from the game but certainly fits into this awsome peice! And then there are some angelic harp strums... oooh.... and clarinets to play over them, with flutes added in as well... very haunting, very mysterious, very heavenly! And bells... oh my... so wonderful... And then the strings pick up again to fill in the wall of sound for a lovely calm ending to an amazing awsome peice! I congratulate you! I love it! I love it! I love it!!! This review has been brought to you by the letters: A, E, M, O, S, and W.

Nice arrangement. Just curious, what synth did you use? It's remarkably real sounding.

Gigaastudio with some of my libraries (Come ON SAM Horns! -- Hurry UP!) as well as some hand chosen soundfonts.
