hey man awesome song choice! i loved this song as a kid and when it comes on my mp3 player now, i love it just as much. i love the music on OCremix (it takes up a 3rd of my mp3 player), and i'm new to posting and am not a musician or a composer by any means, but i just had t o post on this one...
the main melody in the backround, not the flute, keyboard, or baseline, but the air/synthetic melody throughout, sounds like it has to much echo or reverb or something. i thing that everything has a little to much echo, and when everything comes together at 0:40, it just seems like to much... maybe if the sound quality could be tightened it would help out... i can never tell what instruments are real or off a cpu.
like i said i'm not a musician or as technical as i would like, just throwing it out there. i love it when people choose classics to remix like this one, and i LOVE the title 'ode to lisa' it really ties it together for me. the title for the song i downloaded off the soundtrack was 'koibito no inaiyoru' i don't know if that just the japanese title, or if the english one is just 'ending' but there it is... when i hear people mix songs like this it makes me wanna try it out for myself... let me know if it this helped, and keep at it!
