  1. It's sounding much better now. Still could use more work, but you're definitely on the right track. The random breaks in the background noises is kinda weird, but that's easily fixable. The transition near the end is pretty abrupt. I don't know if its the instrument you're switching to being too much of a contrast or if it's that it's alone when you switch it. Try easing into that part a bit more, maybe bringing that instrument in a little earlier playing a harmony or something so that when it does it's own thing it's not so much of a shock? Getting better every listen
  2. I'll send you a link and see if it's something you'd be interested in.
  3. Is that you, Fony? I watch/listen to your stuff all the time!
  4. I'm looking for a lyrist to write lyrics for I may also be seeking a vocalist to perform them. This is for the Lufia 2 Project on OCR. PM me if you're interested and I'll send you an mp3 so you can get started.
  5. I'm looking for a lyrist and potentially a vocalist for Tranquility ( ). Music is near completion.PM me if you're interested.
  6. Should probably post a link to the forums in the main post up top.
  7. I think you're getting on the right track with changing up the lead instrument so that it's not doing the same thing over and over. What you might want to look at next is the supporting tracks. Right now from what I can hear it's one drum (which is doing a great job keeping me confused on the timing) and an oriental sounding plucked instrument. The sounds fit well with the lead, but they're repetitive. If everything is properly timed, you might want to look at adding more substance so that people have more to follow along with because as this is it's hard to keep up with which instrument is playing in tempo and which ones aren't. Keep at it though, you're getting better with each version!
  8. My favorite memories of Mag 4 and 5 was sitting around and playing guitar with you guys.
  9. Much sadness It's such a shame when people with such talent are taken away from us :/
  10. This is really good! The snare could use a small boost, maybe 2-3db or so. Can't wait to hear more!
  11. I may not be too familiar with the genre you're aiming for, but it seems to drag out a bit. You've got some variations going on, which is great, but for a 6 minute track it doesn't have enough momentum to keep me interested. I do like some of the instruments you've chosen, but I think the lead (is it a viola?) definitely needs some love. It's very dry and hard to listen to at times, it also seems to be panned quite a bit with nothing on the other side to compliment it. Could use some more percussive elements too, something to keep in driving a bit more. I'd definitely recommend shortening the track. It's long at 6 minutes and unless there's some serious progression going on that you just haven't had a chance to add in yet, it could be one of those songs where the listener listens to the first 2 minutes and then skips to the next song. Maybe try interweaving the two sources you've chosen a bit more to keep it interesting?
  12. After reading Rexy's list of why FF6 is/was amazing, I feel compelled to play through it again. THANKS A LOT REXY!!!
  13. I'm back :) You'll see new stuff from me very soon!

  14. There's a private forum? I had no idea >>
  15. Isn't this it?Also, I love the soundscape you've created. Can I ask what choir/vocal library that is? It sounds AMAZING.
  16. I don't think it's BAD to start at the beginning. That's to say, I don't think it's any better to start from the middle, end, or beginning. For me, it's usually a certain part of the theme that really reaches out and shakes my core. I start there and keep building until I'm satisfied with the result, adding as much of the original theme that fits, often leaving out entire segments and phrases or interpreting them to an extent that I have to spell out to people how it's actually an interpretation of the source (I've had several submissions declined because they were way too liberal). I guess the most important thing is to find the part of the song that you want to be your center, your climax, and build everything around that. Doesn't matter if it's the beginning, middle, or end of the source.
  17. I agree 100%. In fact, I'm working on something now that I think is very similar to "From Within" as far as feeling and emotion. I think it's important to listen to your old work, even if it may make you cringe, just so that you can see how far you've come. To me, seeing how much I've improved over the last ~10 years motivates me to continue improving and pushing myself further and harder to reach the next level.
  18. Pretty often actually. Rexy summed it up pretty well, I share her thoughts on the subject. (Psycrow is pretty awesome) Once I finish a song I usually don't listen to it for a little while just because my brain is burnt out from listening to it on repeat for the last x days, but usually after a month or two it'll go on my playlist.
