[Iji 'Trailer Theme']

The new version of Tor sounds... bad

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

[How long has it taken you to musically get where you are today?]

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

[chrono trigger - where threads connect (epoch)]

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

haha, thanks mirby

op's been updated with the final arrangement so check ittt

[chrono trigger - where threads connect (epoch)]

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):

[Paper Mario: Bite Me]

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

[chrono trigger - where threads connect (epoch)]

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

[chrono trigger - where threads connect (epoch)]

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

[chrono trigger - where threads connect (epoch)]

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

op updated with a new link

[chrono trigger - where threads connect (epoch)]

thanks man, yea lots of balance issues atm. the cello is the main attraction melody-wise and the piano just for support

[chrono trigger - where threads connect (epoch)]

my inspiration for this piece was to evoke the actual act of travelling in the epoch and make the listener perceive the experience in a first-person sort of way. i wanted to illustrate their actual journey into the fabric of time. this is opposed to associating the song with its original context, the overworld map, and challenging the listener to look deeper. the final version will feature chris|amaterasu on violin!
