melody

snap this is prime work man, i'm really flattered. when the song is finished i'm totally suggesting you take it and draw some inter-dimensional-fabric-of-time-space-travel joint to it haha. lovin the where threads connect bump on your deviantart page as well

thank you! i'm running into some roadblocks because i'm not experienced with live audio nor the mastering plugins i'm using in reaper.. in one of the earlier versions i had something that sounded like a plate reverb on the violin haha i'll def go back and look at the drums

this is incredible work -- absolutely suggestive (and fitting) of a night drive. someone linked it in irc today and i'm definitely grateful. rest in peace avien

latest version features a shoddily-mixed amaterasu on violins over a finished arrangement. i'm going to be subbing this within the week so feel free to share any last thoughts

i completely disagree haha, it's everything awesome about the original amplified through the better sample quality

a thread about a free game this good should be necroposted in at least once a year

'nuff said

snap can't wait for commander yammark

i've been playing various instruments since i was six, composing since december 07, remixing since may 09, and have nothing to show for it! haha, i recently subbed a couple mixes so here's hoping

i always appreciate your good feedback mono, and one of the things i disagree with are your comments about the drums and bass. i wouldn't boost the bass here at 80 hz because i've chosen my kick drum as my true bass, and that works better for the direction i want to take this. i also have to disagree about it not shining, because one of my favorite aspects of this song is hearing the very clear pick attack on the bass as heard through a fuzzbox (cc ricers, this is what you're talking about) the cello shouldn't be clashing with the piano as the cello is boosted at 3 khz and the piano at 900 hz.. it might be the sample quality? which is not too relevant anyway since it's simply placeholder until i get wavs from amaterasu general complaint though seems to be that the mids suck and are oversaturated in the chorus haha, which is true. mixing that part is proving tricky. for anyone interested: i have two synths playing the same line mirrored through panning and continuously floating between l and r eq'd @ 3.2khz and 3.8 khz respectively, piano @ 900 hz, cello @ 2.9khz (soon to be a violin), choir @ 1.8 khz, two bass tracks @ 350 hz, and two drum tracks going at once. which is probably full of stupid eq decisions haha help edit: op updated with new version, production is a lot cleaner, most evident in the chorus

i can wish you happy birthday and it's not belated because i haven't slept yet

haha, some of my old tunes - beach bgm - irish bgm - golden sun meets chrono chross so badddddddddd

haha, thanks mirby op's been updated with the final arrangement so check ittt

just a very vague idea of what this will sound like with amaterasu killing it on violin (no eq work or any production whatsoever on his violin at this juncture):

i hear the chirp, try reducing the mid frequencies of your kick. otherwise the production sounds pretty good

thanks for the suggestions. there is also no guitar to speak of

you're too kind, i say infant because i started work on this two days ago. the arrangement is still up in the air mostly, but i have a vague idea of where i want to take it. i just got some violin clips from amaterasu today and he's single-handedly bringing the song to new heights. hopefully i'll have something to show you guys soon because i know that cello sample sucks haha

cool ideas m. bison, i had something like that in mind so i'll def experiment with your suggestion. nothing is set in stone yet, especially not the arrangement which is in its infant stages. cello is placeholder thanks for the ideas everyone

nah man i still have so much to learn. feel free to say what's on your mind lol

rest in peace mohamed el-hawatky, absolutely touching mix here zyko
