oh wow. when did this get released? haha.
It's a shame this version is the one that got released. I definitely agree that this track is really muddy...I wish compy's version was released instead as I think he did a good job mastering this mix. The only problem is I don't have access to that version anymore, since I happened to lose it a while back cleaning my hard drive out.
edit: found a low quality version of it, link at below post.

guh, i can't get enough of the staccato part... just that alone makes me want to listen to it over and over, i don't even know why...
at first i didn't like it for no particular reason, but now i'm just hooked X_X
*continues to listen to it over and over and over* i logged on this website for the first time in almost a year just to say this. thank you.

I kinda see where he's coming from... but I think it's because the vocal tracks weren't synced very well, that and pixie's voice is so powerful that when they sing together she drowns the guys voice out, haha. The singing styles didn't match either, and that with the talking guy at the end made it sound really cheesy(...but cheesy isn't always a bad thing
).Having said that, I liked it.

keke, I remember when you sent me this a long time ago
so it's finished now huh? I never got around to finishing mine 
I'm currently taking mixing and mastering classes at my school; maybe I'll get around to redoing mine in the near future (but darn! you beat me to making the first undergound sewer remix on ocr! 
)...anyways, great stuff! I really like the bells n' stuff at 3:02 and the mood and atmospheric changes throughout the whole song, the middleish part reminds me of sonic for some reason haha

Now I got the special edition songs from the website, but I wanted the ISO for the cds I would burn.
Alas, when I started the torrent, there were no ISOs, only flac and mp3.
Soo.....help?
edit: and the songs are all teeny tiny. I expect that's from compression, but that's exactly why I would want the larger ISOs with full CD quality. But why 3 cds? They almost all fit on one, and with SE on the third cd...it seems a waste. I guess I'll just put it with the second CD, but then the album art doesn't match and arrggghhh. I always like extra songs, this SE thing is cool, but maybe a bit more support for these 4 extras?
you got the special edition tracks already!?
...but compy hasn't even started working on those yet...
ps: there's going to be more than 4 tracks on the special edition... if you want put the audition tracks on the second cd for now, no ones stopping you, it's your cd
eDit: forgot a word... moo.

Denadoro Climb: This is a nice rendition of Wind Scene. It's appropriately cinematic, which I think is tricky to do with the original. I have no idea why this is here in the listing though - the original doesn't really match any of the script that I see, or anything. Still, a fine job by the remixer here.
Claado told me my scene was just background music for a scale up a mountain anyway, and that the actual scenes would involve "battle music" and dialogue with pauses, so I just took a track I liked that matched a.... big mountain-like scene and arranged it. I would've arranged Underground Sewer as that is Denadoro Mountain's music, but as I said in an earlier post, I already remixed that song just before collaborating with this project and I didn't feel like re-arranging it again. I felt that Wind Scene was appropriate anyway, and I liked that song...

]Even though RoeTaka hasn't appeared in here yet, I'd still like to ask him why he decided to put in those interrupting, out-of-place drum riffs at about 3:18 and 3:50 of The Last Stand. He completely stops the music for a moment and disrupts the flow of everything twice, which doesn't match with an epic battle, to me. That was pretty much the biggest beef I had with the music, aside from The Third Guru as a track. I was expecting something more grandiose for a final battle as well, like huge epic fantasy orchestral stuff, so I kept waiting for the orchestra to really flare...but it never did. But that doesn't reall bug me as much as the random stops in the song.

I believe at first we were being limited to using the same free soundfonts like squidfont, cadenzza, etc. Then we all realized that only Bliz and Unknown can make free orchestral soundfonts sound like the shit. So we got to use whatever OMG$$$ samples we wanted.
Yeah. I envy those guys' ability in that area. They take the free stuff and work miracles. I have the ability to consistently make Reason's decent orkester library sound like crap spewing from a marching band tuba at haltime.
As far as I'm concerned....
*hides* >_> ...everything I used was free But then again I guess my stuff isn't the shit lol... I wish I had some of the samples some of you guys used. That would've greatly reduced my limitations, I don't know how many times I told myself "damnit I can't get the right sound!" I say we all should've used only Edirol Orchestral because that's the only thing I used 
;););) jkOverall, the music highly surpasses the average Square RPG. I wish this CD was used as the music of FF Advent Children.
I thought the music in FF Advent Children was great(well at least the last battle song, that had me in tears how incredibly cool it was)!
...and to the people suggesting we should've taken off the time restrictions to the music because there's no actual movie, I already tried this argument about a year ago (it's somewhere in this thread) and I was brought down horribly by a counter argument
(something along the lines of making it funner because it was more of a challenge to make those restrictions). Now that I look back, I think it's better this way anyway; I don't think I'd want to listen to 4 CD's of really long orchestral arrangements... just my opinion The only downside is that some of the content feels too short now. 
I like smiley's. It says so in my sig.
ps:
u maen rych ppl gib mee moneh soo i ken goh bai beter sampels nau~Unknown needs to create a tutorial or something explaining how he does that. I'd pay money. Seriously. jk...or maybe i need a job

At first I though PLBenjaminZ was the same as Neil Benjamin of Far Away Memories and Tragedy of a Bullet- no big loss, as Denadoro Climb turns out to be a decent spin on the oft covered Wind Scene. Nothing much to say here, as it's what you'd expect in such an arrangement. I'm a little perplexed on why such a source tune was used in this song, however, Underground Sewer being the actual tune played in this section of the game.
Sorry to disappoint you for not being whoever that is lol... I'm just some dumb kid who started trying to remix Chrono Trigger songs last year when out of no where an opportunity to make an orchestral arrangement of one of my favorite games presented itself, so I auditioned and what do you know I got accepted.
Denadoro Climb was the fourth arrangement I've ever made in my life (with the audition peice being the third) and the second arrangement I made actually was Underground Sewer, so I didn't think I'd want to arrange the same song twice... 
Anyways, great job on the project everyone! It turned out to be a lot better than I expected it to be. My favorite piece by far is A Parting of Ways. It has a lot of feeling to it and I just like the instrumentation for some reason (the bells, but OMG WAS THAT A GUITAR at 2:59!?!? I WISH I COULD'VE USED GUITARS ON MY PIECE LOL!); but mainly the way Unknown protrayed Magus was what made it great to me. I can't wait for the Special Edition now! Remastered tracks and new ones
I want more~ eDit: cool 50 posts i'm a dan hibiki now, whatever that is
ps: i like red guitars... and pineapple.

Hey everyone, it's not released yet!?
Haha, oh well, here's a cookie for everyone waiting for the release;
Doh, ran out of cookies...
It's my Final Battle track that I never finished. It's not going to be on the album so I guess I'll share it with you guys so you have something to listen to while waiting for the release. It's still not done but oh well lol... Hope you like it, and you can expect the quality of the tracks on the album to be a lot better (<3 Compy
). Happy Holidays everyone!Edit in response to the below post: sorry, that's because I deleted on accident, I'm re-uploading it now lol...
2nd Edit: updated it D:
3nd Edit: My bandwidth like died because too many people were downloading lol...
4th Edit: I spelt 3rd wrong... damn copy n' paste laziness

This month is already good enough. The probability of it coming out tomorrow is 13/30, which is about 50%!! That's good, isn't it?
The probability would have been 1/13 = 7.7% if you consider 13 days left starting tomorrow...
but there are 14 days left in November starting tomorrow so the chance is actually 1/14 = 7.1%
that's almost like saying there's 45 days until the New years, therefore the probability of it being New Year's tomorrow is 1/45 = 2.2%... good thing everyone knows New Year's is definitely tomorrow...
ps: that's my initials
pps: this is taking long, I know Compyfox has a life outside of OCRemix but damn... it was SUPPOSED to be out last September... oh well, excuse my whining I'm dumb
ppps: hi

um yay I finally got a hold of all my remixing files... too bad it's too late to really matter now lol... oh well sorry for the trouble everyone.

lol here's something random

oh noes wip's due
one more week of summer skewl and im freeeeee for two monthsbut since i gotta get a wip in i worked on it a little, where do i submit the wip?
-
Site looks great! I have to admit, though, BliZiHizake and PLBenjaminZ's pics are somewhat disturbing. Sex changes, guys? Or maybe we're all just spending a little too much web-time together.
What pics? I don't remember submitting a pic... >_> -
Sorry... It's just that I've been working almost every night for the past two months, and I got all this school stuff to worry about too. I just happened to find myself with twenty minutes spare time to mess around with last night, and decided to work on the Wind Scene one because I could finish it in just twenty minutes.
Luckily for me, school's going to end in like three weeks, and I'm thinking about quitting my job (working at the movies sucks
Hi! How can I help you? You'd like a medium popcorn? Are you sure you wouldn't like a large popcorn? It's only 510 dollars more and you get free refills with it! Sure no problem! Would you like butter with that? In the middle and on top? Here you go! Would you like anything else so I can attempt to upsell that too despite the outrageous prices and smile while I try to rip you off? Hey, I just work here. ), so that'll free up a lot of my time. I'm working on the Lavo's one too, but I don't plan on posting it until I at least complete the time constraint. There are so many things I want to do with it, but I can't encorporate all the ideas into whatever the time constraint was... I'll definitely get around to finishing it in the not-so-distant future. Again, sorry for the delay.

oo i like the new one
good job so far! i think it'll sound great when it's finished! -
yeah, that really was random...
-
Does it seem like PLBenjaminZ's "Final Battle With Lavos" just cut off and not end? It gets this wicked low strings groove going and just... stops, mid beat. or it just me?
...maybe It's because it's no where near done yet.
The site says 50% done, but the way I see it, it's not even 30% done yet... I'll get to working on it again, sometime soon... Sorry I know it's a late reply but I haven't been here, going through the thread 'for fun' right now lol... -
ugh, updated it...
*Right Click, Save As Please*
Sorry about having to DL crap, but you can delete it after you listen to it.
....ugh... tired... *faints on bed*

well the name of the song being remixed is called 'Wind Scene' i think.... so i just named it wind for short, i don't have a title yet. =)
...and i just tried going to that http://symphonic.herograw.com/WIPs/ and i think it crapped out instead
eDiT:
I deleted the "WIPs" subfolder, and I replaced the old "Denadoro Climb" instead. It's in the normal http://symphonic.herograw.com directory now.yeah I kinda figured that one out by myself but thanks anyway kekeke

lol... I haven't been here since forever, forgot about this project already... but I was bored and searched my name on google and was suprised to actually find a search result (ahaha, yeah I'm stupid
), and it happened to be the new website for this project.I haven't worked on anything since Claado went on his two month whatever, but I recently acquired the motivation to work on and finish my tracks. I didn't like how the Mt. Denadoro climb track was turning out so I started working on a different version last night... Here's what I got so far:
*Right Click, Save As Please*
Sorry about having to DL crap, but you can delete it after you listen to it.
It's sort of the same because the piano, but I like it a lot better, and if I planned it correctly it'll hit near, if not right on, the 2:30 mark, which is the time constraint for that track. What do you guys think of it?
and yeah, sorry about not visiting the thread, or the entire website for that matter, I was busy doing a lot of other stuff like work, school, and writing other crap...
...oh and I love the new title (well, it's not new anymore but I've just not visited the thread since like last year...) as well as the new banner thingy, it rox

hi guys, sorry to say but i haven't been working on anything since a long time ago lol... the remix i submitted didn't make the cut because several mastering problems... i could've mastered it and resubmitted and it would've made the cut but i'm a dumbass and deleted the arrangement a long time ago lol... the good thing is i just started redoing the whole thing, which i planned to do in the future anyway, and i decided i'm going to make it all orchestral-like
and maybe i can use my remix for scene 10 too since it kinda fits the scene (Denadoro Mountain's song is Underground Sewer for some reason )i restarted it today and worked on it for like five hours but now it's two in the morning so i'm gonna sleep hehe... i got done with like 1/3'rd of it and i think it kicks ass, like ten times better then what i did before
i'll probably finish it (well not FINISH but yeah whatever) by monday if not tomorrow and i'll post it here so you guys can listen and gimee some comments and stuff... how is everyone else doing on their remixes? just wondering... looks like not a lot of activity on this thread hehe... oh well ttyl guys, good night... err morning... errr whatever...
