hahaha. Thanks ericharris. About recognizing the source tunes: There's only one source tune!!.Most of the times I try to add original parts to the mixes. For example, from 0:43 to 1:23 is pure invention. To avaris : I'll try to work on the mastering ---- edit: Here's some attemp of mastering http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0FMMN044

This one of my orchestral essays, using as motif one of the Final Fantasy 9 themes (don't remember the name). Is my latest orchestral arrangement and I'm pretty happy with it (yay, something decent at least ) Download it here. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3LIAULEJ (open in new page and follow the instructions) Download version 2 here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0FMMN044 (Is kinda mastered) Feel free to tell me what you think about it.

What programme did you use to compose this? Where are those drums from? Now, comments on the wip You should develop the song. This seems like a huge intro to something. I can't wait to hear that something. The lenght of the entire song can be reduced to the half and let the violence of the battle flow. That would make this kick ass

i'm having damn problems with those googlepages. I only could download 1:30 minutes. What i heard was nice (no problems there) Couldn't hear nobody singing,though. use putfile or something like that.

I imagine that's nice to finally be able to continue with your own life (lol). Now just wait for what the judges say. They're completely unpredictable.

Okay, lets see. You did the thing i didn't wanted to mean. I wanted to mean that you should move one semitone up that note, but i explained myself badly and you lowered the note a semitone. . Sorry about that. I really like the song, but i think the judges will argue about the drums. Maybe the hi-hat should be less loud and the snare should be a little louder And when you finish with that, just send, SEND!!

10/10. Whoa. This is hot. I have to confess that the judges have a good taste for orchestral things. What programme did you use ?

I don't know if those are my speakers but i feel a little distortion (try to do some mastering in cool edit, or simply reduce the volume in the sequencer and do the mp3 once again). I have to confess that this sounds much better, but the armonic structure is not what i expected (I though you were goin to play D Major and then of a sudden F# Major and finally B minor, yeah, thats violent ). Though, your way is very nice.The tune feels much better. in 3:31 the flute plays a note wich is a semitone lower than what it should be. Now this is really "chilling-music". I dunno if there's anything else to make better. Simply submit after you do those minor fixes. Great job!! ------ PS : What's the point of so much agreeing with Prometheus? You're risking to make your music better, and that's dangerous. ----

Hey, where's the F# Major you said. I can't hear it!!!. C'mon, give it a try. Drums are better, but them cant almost be heard. The snare should be a bit louder. And that kick,.. you should change it.

Hell yeah, this project is hot, but definately i'm da best (lol) I hope Usa reads the PM with my mix someday, i haven't had a response yet. It would be good to release this before the FF7 project,mainly because if we release this at the same time or little after, we will have little attention compared to that project.

7,5 /10. This is nice ambient. The drums lacks of realism. I would have used "compressed"/equalized kick-ass block-rockin drums to make this completely agressive. Nicely produced guitar, though. If you'd have used some "matrix"-like drums, i would have given this a 9. I'm really missing them.

haha, i don't care. You used the trick of using F# Major and then B Minor. That's a modulation. And Modulations are HOT. Post a wip as soon as you can.

Whoa, today everyone's agreeing with me. Is there any psycho plan behind this?

Ok, now it's getting better. But it just don't feel allright with the flute playing the same as the piano in the beginning. Try to write something different. You should put pads in the intro too!. Try changing the drums! at least give it a try!! (i don't mean changing the beat, wich is nice , but that ballad-like drumset.). You gonna hate me forever, but i got an idea. Your tune is in D major. Then in the variation part, just BEFORE (edited, I wroteafter instead of before ) beginning once again that melodic loop, change the chord for F# Major and make up a minor part in B Minor. Then, you can go back to the other thing using A major. Check that out. Is nice to make a variation part. This is getting hot, but it needs a variation part. Give a try to changing the drums. If you didn't like, you can always change them back. ------------ EDIT : Only one vote? -----------

Heard the Putfile version. Man, your song is getting HOT. Maybe you should try three things. Start using the drums 0:55 or so and a bit later. I mean, now this is the time to dig into a bigger intro. Use a few "relaxing synths" (pads and so, like your schala tune) to fill everything a bit. Introduce somekind of bass, pads when you introduced the drums, but don't put them yet wait to 0:55. And then suddenly in the theme start with the drums. Try to make some contrast and make parts where no drums are used (verses). The drums feel like as if they were from a ballad !! . I think that it doesn't fit the mood!!. you should try other sounds, and make them sound soft(like in the mix you heard the link) Ah, one more thing, make a "variation" part in the middle, just like the chrono trigger theme part 2 ( yeah, that theme has two parts!) That will make the song don't sound repetitive and increase GREATLY its overall quality. Maybe you could fit the schala theme in that part, dunno, find something. Keep composing like this, your mix is getting cool.

Whoah, i thought you were going to kill me IF you use fruityloops you might try to get somewhere Edirol orchestral, has got some nice piano,oboe,clarinet... samples.

Oh, here's my review. I found only one problem I think that you haven't choosen the best instruments. Listen to this song http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00952/ Maybe you should try piano instead of marimbas and oboe instead of japanese flute. Anyway, good job

Personally i think this is gonna kick ass. You can expect nothing less from "the underdogs"!!

Well, xenogears has an outstanding soundtrack by Mitsuda (my favorite musician). I think is a mistake creating a mix thing by joining everything together in a same song. You should let creativity of the remixers flow and then organize the single-mixes in both cds.

The first 56 seconds are really cool stuff. I don't like those drums, them really spoil the mix. You shouldn't center on them. Maybe it could be better deletting them and using string spiccatto or some ethnic percusion. Follow my advice and you'll end up creating an outstanding mix. Keep up the good work.

I think the shirt idea is good, but it would also help overclocked selling compilations of mixes in CD, an album of the best 20 tracks of the past year in overclocked choosen by everyone(not only judges). And those albums are sold cheap because they're only intended to get funds for overclocked and pay the costs of the discs.

To vampire hunter dan: 10/10. Man, you've got an orchestra at home. Sounds like Haydn, or Beethoven with a harpsichord. I would like to see more mixes from you in the future ;-D.

8,5/10. I like the flutes and instruments stuff. Man, i love these samples. The hi-hat sounds a bit retro-loud. You should havbe tried to Breakbeat-ize the song, like revival day impoetus, which is one of your best songs. Nice percussion solo. I only miss some breakbeats (lol).

uh... Hi. Has the project another forums or something alike?

Personally i think this isn't Zircons best. 6,5/10 However is nice as background music. Conclusion : more calamitous judgement! more! more!
