[Final Fantasy IX - Return to Terra]

I love the recorders at the begining! You did such a great job

I think the electric backing in the second section is a bit too harsh though, it's almost overpowering; maybe it could be a bit softer

 

Also I loved when the drums came in! It actually made me excited, I was like "Yes!!"

 

And Again the synth backing towards the end sounds out of place in my opinion, it's just a bit.. random?

 

The atmosphere in Final Fantasy IX is amazing, you've really brought me back to it with this mix, Thanks

No need to be embarrassed. Jimi Hendrix made nothing but mistakes before he practiced. Lots and lots of practice, dude. 

Haha, there's a name I didn't expect to hear, you are right though, like everything it's the more you do it.

Also updated the song as per your suggestion, I can really hear the difference now

I really hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I couldn't listen to that for very long. That really high synth is piercing. Maybe someone else can chime in and tell me I'm crazy, but I think you definitely need to cut out the top end that synth. 

Haha no I don't take offense, actually this is exactly the kind of thing I want to hear! I'm new to music technology so hearing something like this lets me connect the theory and practice together.

I can see what you mean too, I've been listening to it with really low quality headphones so it's likely I can't notice, but regardless the frequencies ARE pretty high.

Bit embarassed that the first problem is something that makes it difficult to listen to the whole thing, though. It's a shame but I'll learn

Thanks!

Hey guys, it's my first time posting here,

I've been writing music for a while as a hobby, and about a month and a half ago I decided I'd actually sit down and study music theory/technology, so I got myself a copy of Live and a couplea books. Hopefully I can learn a lot from here, too.

 

Rance03 was released this year and is a remake of a 1992 game by the same name. I tried to take inspiration from the original 1992 track as well as the remake.

 

Here's the 1992 Version

 

 

Here's the recent version

 

 

And here's my version

EDIT: Removed some high tones on the lead Synth

Also, whilst this game is an RPG, so classifies as a "game", it's also eroge, is that allowed? If not then I'll remove this post, but I couldn't find any indication so I thought I'd give it a shot.

 

Looking forward to your feedback!
