    At first I was a little flustered as to how I lost to Esperado, due to a smaller track length and less source usage of laguna's theme. Then I realized that I failed at the integration of both tracks and maybe some of the sound choices weren't as good as I initially thought. I guess I got lazy there >_>

    Esperado's take was very creative and surprisingly cohesive, despite the 2 sources being completely dissimilar, so yea, I got beat good. Oh welll, I'd prob lose next bracket anyhooo :tomatoface:

    I actually really liked so much about your song. The problem was it felt like 3-4 tracks just playing one after another. Which kinda goes against the idea of the compo. I'd say take your best section from that and make a full song out of it.

    I also am sort of interested in the Kramer tapes, tubes, transistors as well as the arts acoustic reverb. Give me a couple days to consider ;).

    Cool. BTW I am selling the bundle AND the individual plugs. For example if you just wanted the tape plugin you could get that.

    Also dropped the price on the IK Grand bundle to $279. Great plugs! Willing to make a deal on those if anyone is interested.

    I could probably have it within a month. That'd give me time to pay off my credit card and be sans obligations, if I keep earning money at my current rate (which is likely). If it sells between now and then, no biggie, but I am definitely eyeing that pack.

    Cool beans. I'd rather sell it to someone on OCR. I'll keep it at that price and see what happens.

    Yeah, that's some theory skills. Can we all get DarkeSword remixing guidance? :lol: Now Avaris has an advantage!

    Haha well I am actually using Beatrix's chords for this track. Too late to turn back now. Basically I will have to have this finished by 12-2pm on Saturday. Thank god my girlfriend is pulling a couple night shifts at the hospital this week so I got some time during the evenings.

    Really excited to hear everyone's tracks!

    Is this the
    you're talking about? Because that's literally the main theme of Final Fantasy IV slowed down, and is very much just in a regular old minor key.

    It is that theme. You are correct in a sense it sounds like it is in a Minor key. The melody is almost verbatim. There is one big difference between this source and the main theme. The arpeggio is not in any apparent key:

    The 1st 4 bars contain F, F#, G, G#. The track derives significant emotion from this. It makes working with the track difficult. This arpeggio is present in the 2nd half main theme:

    However in the main theme, these notes are played extremely fast, decreasing the apparent dissonance to the human ear. Also they are accompanied by apparent chord changes.

    My theory skills are beginner level. Remixing Cry in Sorrow while maintaining the emotion of the original is a big challenge. Hopefully it will help me to improve in this area. It is one of the main reasons I chose it as my track and why this competition is so appealing to me personally. To help improve apparent weaknesses I have as a musician. :sleepdepriv:
