OCR00723 - Final Fantasy VII "Galvanized Boss"
lady zelda replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love the fast-paced urgency that's portrayed here, it really helps it stay true to the original. I also like the slight difference in rhythm of the beginning section of the main theme. The end is also sweet since the general mood of this mix just builds to that big "phew" you get at the end. Good work, Standby! -
OCR01164 - Final Fantasy VII "Jenova for Classical Piano"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow! This is BEAUTIFULLY done. From the very beginning, you immediately set the stage for the rest of the piece, how it gives the sense that it is fading in slowly from the shadows but proclaiming its full presence at the same time. Then you have these amazing but subtle shifts in mood, while still maintaining the same majestic undertone. And then at around 4:45, man oh man, those trills along with the improvization just make a perfect combination. I don't know how else to explain it. In short, this remix is an example of perfect use of dynamics and that is why it is so engaging throughout. Keep it up, Noir! -
The Newbie Introduction Thread: Come on in and say hello!
lady zelda replied to Mahaboo's topic in General Discussion
I only recently got into unmod, it's insane. Some stuff is a bit too off the wall for my taste, but definitely a source for some good laughs. I don't have specific preferences in music, as long as it provokes a lot of thought and feeling. -
Questions on Violins...
lady zelda replied to Conan The Politician's topic in Music Composition & Production
It wouldn't hurt to just pick it up and try! (Though the cost of full-size violins can be a bit hefty...) And you have a lot open to you with a violin, like how you can play in a jazz band or orchestra for brass instruments, you can join an orchestra with a violin as well as play the fiddle. Well, if you are willing, you don't know until you see for yourself! Good luck! -
OCR01141 - Final Fantasy VII "Sweeter Than Honey"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I like the variety in atmosphere that's presented here. You've got some really light, quiet moments that build to something more majestic and outgoing. I don't remember the Honeybee Manor theme too well, but this mix definitely lives up to its name as well as the atmosphere of the Honeybee Manor from the game itself. I do sort of have to concur with Instrument of GAWD in that it does try a bit too hard in some places with trying to portray "epicness", however, if that was not the intention, then this mix is overall a good salute to the original. Keep it up, Will! -
OCR01209 - Legend of Zelda "A Fate Preordained"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
An amazing orchestral piece. Beautifully done, every section of the orchestra: the brass and especially the percussion just make it so majestic. Yup, add this to the list of potential material for the OST for the next Zelda game. Keep it up! -
OCR01252 - Super Mario 64 "The Alternate Route"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I second all previous comments. This remix really captures the mood of the original and the percussion really keeps it going with the intricate rhythm. The stop-go pace of this remix really keeps you engaged. Keep it going Paragon X9! -
OCR01045 - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time "SoS"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great guitar, great mood, great salute to the original. Great in every way! Keep it up! This is awesome music to chill to. -

lady zelda replied to Mahaboo's topic in General Discussion
Everything I do.... I do it for you.... THERE'S NO LOVE, LIKE YOUR LOVE! Every little thing that you do... Baby, I'm amazed by you... EDIT: Okay, less singing, more hello/welcome. -
The only issue I have with SSBM is that Donkey Kong rap. Absolutely horrendous. Other than that, SSBM was much better on all levels.

Ash as a playable character would be good for comedic value. I'd put him on versus and just kick the crap out of him with Bowser. I wonder how Mew would fare as a playable character...

OCR01114 - Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix "4F73R M3"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A nice, fun, laid-back remix. This would actually make a good song on the next edition of DDR, lol. I don't have much else to say, other than it is very well done and a great salute to the song and game. Keep it up! -
OCR00374 - Final Fantasy X "Ballad of the Sea"
lady zelda replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is just beautiful. You can certainly feel the sea breeze, hear the gentle peace of the scenery, as well as the forceful crashing on the waves as the winds gain their strength with the amazing guitar you got going there. What else can I say? Great job, guys. -
I think you hit most of it on the nose there. It's all about gathering up the words to speak of something on your mind in the most descriptive manner possible, or at least in the way you want to portray it, whether it be with imagery i.e. something poetic, or just a normal narrative that sounds good with the tune e.g. the Rabbit Joint Cover mix. The way I see it, figure out your tune first, and then see what lyrics would fit well with it, what YOU think would fit well with it. Keep in mind syllables and pick your rhyme scheme if you want one. I think it all comes with practice, and you just have to keep trying. Eventually, the words will just come to you, especially if you want to write about a strong feeling you have about whatever--the words should come to you even easier. Try it. EDIT: about your note on a chorus, yeah, it is harder because it is the part of the song that "summarizes" your thoughts or expresses the general feeling or subject of the whole song. Anyway, good luck.

OCR01258 - Chrono Trigger "When All Hope Has Faded"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
For the first two minutes, I was enjoying the beauty and tranquility while doing work, and then it just picks up and I had a blast! I love these kinds of mixes for they allow you the oppurtunity to enjoy the music in different ways in just one track i.e. you're hearing the soft soothing sounds at the beginning and then all of a sudden you are grooving uncontrollably in your seat (or wherever you are while listening). Basically, the variety makes it a classic. Now that's what I call an audio adventure, haha. -
Protricity. Ok... did you know this song was never actually submitted? DJPretzel posted it on his own whim... and I think it's awesome that he did. I really don't care if you hate this song... but before you go bashing it, just take a step back and realize that it's people like you who've kept me from writing anything new in the last four years. Suikoden II was my swan song, and that's that. Love it or hate it, it's here to stay. --- Haz The only thing stopping you is yourself. Change comes from within. Home is where the heart is. Or in this case, somewhere in Kakariko village. So true. Don't get me wrong. It's a really cute remix. Perhaps you could write something that's more in your vocal range, or work your way up there, lol. Don't let others get you down!

lady zelda replied to Mahaboo's topic in General Discussion
It's okay. I'll make sure to be nice Anyways, nice to have you on! -
I absolutely love it. It draws you in from the beginning and you stay engaged all the way to the end. Just blast it in the car and it is sure to pick up you up no matter how down you are feeling. Yeah, the synth, the kick-ass beat, everything about it is awesome. It really makes my day. I really can't put the rest of it in words. Keep it up!

OCR01325 - Kingdom Hearts "New Beginnings"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm loving this. Very serene as if you are sitting beside a waterfall in the warm summer heat enjoying the silence as well as the beauty of the landscape. It's very mystifying throughout. Keep these coming! -
OCR00063 - Final Fantasy VII "Final Ecstasy"
lady zelda replied to Joe Redifer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This mix effortlessly gives the edge, character, and life to the Prelude. With character comes the rich collection of thoughts and mood presented in this mix. Kinda paints a picture of the badass Cloud, haha, well, that's how I see it. Keep it up! -
OCR00095 - Final Fantasy VII "Costa del Sol DANCE"
lady zelda replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's a party, alright. Yup, grab a stereo, towel, shades, sunscreen and head down to the beach. Kick back, enjoy the rays, play in the waves. An awesome one! Keep it up! -
OCR00720 - Final Fantasy VII "An Answered Cry"
lady zelda replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm drawn in from the beginning with the original song. It just sets the mood. And it's interesting cuz the beat is not too heavy like you think it would be when you're getting into it. An awesome salute to the original. Keep it up! -
OCR01368 - Bust a Groove "Bust This Groove '81"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
PARTY! PARTY! Actually, this would also be good material for the next release of DDR. Yup, Kitty-N's theme was my favorite from the game. And this mix gives it an awesome twist. It's so uplifting from the very beginning, like how the intro just draws you in. So ya, keep it up! -
OCR01417 - Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages "Nayru's Love"
lady zelda replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So beautiful and soothing. There is perfect use of dynamics on the piano, which just makes it come to life. I can't believe I haven't posted on this yet. You two should collaborate more often. It's wonderful.
