    OCRA-0040 - Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin

    double post merge

    Yes, I meant physical copies, sorry. Is it still scheduled for august?

    Maybe it's not the best topic to ask this information. But the last topic on kickstarter was closed. Is there another where we can see some updates?

    Now that the album is available on the net, it would be great to have some news on the physical copies :)

    Thanks!

    This album was really great! Sorry if I'm a little impatient to see these CDs in real :?

    Thank's for your feedback!

    I hope finding good information in your links :)

    I don't understand what you mean by the rapid kick drum. The arrangement is thought like this. If I change this rythm, the mix lose of is meaning. And I've yet reduced the bass drum a lot. This mix need a minimum of rhythm :D

    I agree that with kick + synth + bass together, it may be too loud.

    I'll try to work on EQ on panning on each group of instru. Separatly, it amount to restart at the begining... I'll see what is possible

    I'll do my best to get a better version

    Hi!

    Here is the last version of my mix.

    http://www.reverbnation.com/bluelighter

    Saga Frontier 2: Main Theme Remix

    It regroups several influences like piano, exotic, symphonic, rhythm of metal and some electronic elements.

    I think it is globally ready except for the volume that, after normalization, I feel too weak. Is the volume tolerable for an extern ear? Else, is there good way to correct it? I saw on the forum notion of EQ. Is it possible to work on it on the whole finished piece? Or was it better to work on it gradually? I’m afraid I have to restart all my works on this piece.

    I have this problem on all my musical projects. Any advice would be welcome :)

    Thank for your responses!

    A great thanks OCR for this amazing album! A new time, the community reveals the extent of its talent. I love the side eclectic of this album. I’ve a weakness for the ending theme, the spinag rag, the unforgiven… I despaired to hear one day and arrangement worthy of these masterpieces. And sure I love also the prologue, which shows straightaway the incredible level of this album. Special mention for XPRTNovice, for his particular style really appropriated for the final fantasy atmosphere. I’m eager to hear his other works on OCR :) I was afraid to be disappointed after these months of wait, but this album is really flawless! GREAT TRIBUTE TO MASTER UEMATSU!!!!

    Certainly the mix that has the most leaved a mark on me in OCR story! It deal with different styles of music, each with an impressive virtuosity! Despite of this eclecticism, Star Salzman manage to get a coherent wholepiece. I’ll never get tired to take a listen on this from time to time, a real masterpiece! Great job!

    Update. I've recorded a new version of this piece, that I've posted on OCR.

     

    LINK DELETED

    This time, I've used an electric piano directly linked to my recording. I hope the quality sound is better.

    FOr this occasion, I've corrected the end that didn't work. So, this piece is only from mining town.

    I hope you enjoy :)

    My advice would be to finish what you're working on. If you find that you've made choices early in the development - eg writing, sound design - that you can't get rid of anymore, just finish the track and move on. Maybe it won't be the masterpiece you expected when you started it, and maybe no amount of pro skill and tools could get it there without pretty much redoing it anyway.

    I've sat on tracks for years, years. Dragonfood is a good example, although that one's been resurrected and rebuilt a few times in the process. Those old tracks were bad, and some stuff I make today is also bad. It can have plenty of good things (melodies, sound design, mixing things, arrangement, mood, whatever) and still be bad as a whole because something else is dragging it down.

    TL;DR: If your track is bad, finish your bad track and move on. No use getting hung up on tracks that won't get any better. Make lots of music and you'll learn to avoid badness.

    Thanks for your advice! Yes, it's my big fault. I can hung up too much time on a mix until I get a result, even if this result don't come. So I'll try to give up more easily up and to multiply my tracks.

    Really interesting topic! It’s reassuring to see veterans of OCR have begun too :)

    So, 5 years? Maybe the double? Yes, we can become frustrated when, after all our efforts, we are no more able to see what to do to progress. I spend an uncountable number of hours on some mix to get a result, not good enough for OCR. At this step, I’m not able to see what I have to do to progress, the judging being often not understandable (technique notions those I don’t know).

    I’d really like to know how long an experimented person can spend to get a good and proper mix. I ask this because after retouch and retouch, never getting a good result, maybe it would be reasonable to work on sthg easier or to drop it.

    I recognize that I have made some progress since my register five years ago. Although it can be difficult to morally hold and to bear all these negative responses, OCR gave me the boost and the motivation to invest myself on this. So thanks for that!

    Hi!

    I've finally made a new record, now directly linked to a synthetisor. I find the sound cleaner :)

    http://www.reverbnation.com/bluelighter

    (the first of the list)

    I have put some reverb on this, I wonder if there is not too much. I had choice between this or a sound really to dry.

    Also, I wonder if the result is enough loud. I couldn't do better because of saturation at the end.

    What do you find about this? Is this quality of record presentable to OCR?

    Thanks for your feedbacks
