  1. This was actually the very first FF I ever played... I loved it.

    Same here. Totally loved it. My fav FF to date. Great characters and story. Always wished they did an offshoot of Braska, Jecht, and Auron prequel, that would have been awesome. Better than the cheesy FFX-2.

  2. Pain in the ass logging in on the berry, but I absolutely had to. Great going man, awesome progress on the mix, agree on the comments about the lead, but once that's fixed, get a good outro in there and it should be all set. I'm glad you fixed up the arp to flow a little better with the lead. One day we should do a proper collab.

  3. I had high hopes for this in the intro cuz it actually sounds like it COULD be a commercial trance tune. The offbeat thirds should probably be higher/away from the bassline and that lead, as others have mentioned doesn't match the slickness of the drive that's been established. It has potential though. The basics are there.

    Also maybe try the breakdown before the melody line comes in, even if for your own interest, no need to release it. See how a big "energy off" moment goes and then the lead plays during that..

    BTW I listened to the link on the first post of the first page. Not sure if thats the latest..

    The most recent link is on page 3 at the bottom.

  4. Ok, so I feel totally stupid since I can't figure out a shortcut for private messages from the forums. But whatever. I have some comments, and they are mostly related to the track structure.

    1:06 - I am not completely sold on that lead yet. I think it is just a little too in-your-face, tone it down a little, put some verb or delay on it. I know you are not committed to it yet, but I don't think you need to replace it, just tweak it a little.

    2:15 - instead of the lead, you should probably filter in the arp at this point, probably just the first couple of measures. Then when the mix comes in full force, bring in the lead. But, I am not so sure my arp flows with the lead well. When I made the arp, I was designing it more as a lead in itself. Actually, I think it plain clashes with the lead.

    Let's do this. Mix down the track exactly how it is, minus the arp and minus the lead after the 2:07 mark. I will get it from you over aim. I will play with it for a bit and see if I can come up with some ideas. If not, feel free to drop the arp altogether. Your mix has a lot of potential and I don't want anything holding it back.

  5. Thanks guys!

    I am really surprised with how seto placed in the competition, but then again tastes differ. I have a source in mind and will forward it to Bundeslang shortly. It's a dancey track from a fighting game. I hope the source will encourage higher participation, since the game I am selecting it from is highly underremixed.

  6. I don't want to offend anyone, but the source is absurd. Whatever remote hint of melody is in there, does not fit with the rest of the track at all. I am talking about the part around 1:07, where it reminds me of Delirium's "Silence" (I can't believe I am even referencing such a groundbreaking track while talking about this source). I think the source is godawful and whatever remixes we submit at the end of the competition will all be several steps up from the crap source.

    That being said, it is a great choice for PRC since it presents quite a challenge. Can't wait to see what other remixers are going to cook up.

    One thing, I am refusing to include that part at 1:07 I was talking about, so don't look for it in my mix. And don't hold it against me.
