John Revoredo Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 8/19/08 - WIP 3! http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/tlje/John-Revoredo---Valkyrie-Wip-3 (Added lots of stuff... changed the drums... still is too short.. but its sounding very nice! ) 8/9/08 -EDIT ! WIP 2: http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/phfr/John-Revoredo---Valkyrie-Wip-2 (Cool drums added, and about 20 new seconds) (Self-criticism: The piano on 0:13 sounds too low. The section on 0:27 still feels empty. Crescendo violins should be louder. Sometimes the toms are effin loud) Source tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2r3Xx4SYjo The original one is fucking amazing, I know Im nowhere near to it Feedback/Comments are REALLY appreciated.

Spc1st Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I have to say I'm a bit surprised to see you attempting a remix of a piece is far from being officially released. Anyways, what you have sounds pretty solid, but I think the main problem is that it's too similar to the original in terms of style (fast paced suspense piece). Then again, if the other sections deviate enough, it might not be a big issue. Hard to say at this point, but definitely keep at it at. Quote
Seph Seraphim Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Wow this is awesome =D I really want, that you will finish this song, I love this Music, and even if FFXIII isn´t released yet, it´s one of my favorite Game-songs^^. And because the song of the FFXIII Trailer is nowhere to find, without the background sounds, it would be very awesome, if your Version of the song is finfihed, becuase i find, that the part of your song, sound much better then it soudns in the original version =D. Keep doing this, dude ;3 Quote
John Revoredo Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 Thank you for your support!! Seph Seraphim: It still doesnt sound better than the original! but.. one day it will... MWAHAHA LOL Spc1st: I Think you're right... I'm playing a bit with structure and all that, let's see if it works! Oh yeah. WIP 2 released! Fuck*ng check it out now! Quote
Rozovian Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 The tom-like perucssion could use more punch and/or bass. It's also hard to get a good grip of the track since it's short atm. Still, it has loads of potential, and the source tune had loads of great stuff to use. Gonna be great. Quote
PROTO·DOME Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Wow! A lil' short to say anything major, but awesome. Love the reverse drums at 0:30- this could be better than the original! ^^ (Edit- Yeah, it is improved. The engine sample at 0:33 is ace, I love sampling!) Quote
The Unsung Plumber Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I have to say I'm a bit surprised to see you attempting a remix of a piece is far from being officially released. http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00374/ Anywho, nice feel, but not much to review yet. Quote
elman Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I can't really give you any advice, but it's a good start, and hopefully a sign of things to come when the game is released. It's about damn time that Hamauzu will get the spotlight... Quote
MadGonzo Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 dude wtf man, your god for remixing this and succeeding... its short but Already great, my problem is that the combination of the drum sequencing and drumkits make the groove feel too improvised but keep at it, I want this song finished ASAP!!!!

John Revoredo Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 Woho! Thanks a lot for the support guys! I feel very motivated to continue! Oh yeah.. i almost forgot! WIP 3 released! Fuck*ng check it out now! Quote
MadGonzo Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 jezus dude which strings did you use? fucking sweet altho you should move more forward with the song instead of inward, dont get to deep just yet get the whole frame going first Quote

You mean i should keep developing the same thing a bit more, instead of keep changing? .. Quote
WindStrike Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I think he's referring to how you're constantly doing revisions on this beginning, and granted, you're doing a great job making it better each time, but maybe you should try adding more in the song rather than about 10 to 15 seconds. I suppose considering the original can actually be segmented, the way you're going about it is fine. Also, in the beginning with the drums, as cool as it is, I feel like they need a little more depth to them, whether it be bass or whatever else. Honestly, it actually feels a little weak until the 0:13 mark. Whether it's intended or not, I don't know, but that's just my opinion. Quote
MadGonzo Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Exactly Windstrike; john you need to build more of the song , because what happens alot is that when your done perfectionning a smal portion of the song you'll be so fed up with the track, and we really want you to finish this Quote
Rozovian Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Hits before 0:20 felt a little weak. Looking forward to hearing _more_. Quote
Foxhull Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Very nice work so far. However, I agree that you should try and get at least the general structure of song worked out before you go crazy and fine tune everything. From what I'm hearing, that should be no problem for you. On a side note: How did you get the running ethnic drums thing in the beginning together? ie. which drums in what rhythms? I've been listening to a few different songs lately trying to figure it out, like what you have got going, and Rusted Root's "Drum Trip", because quite frankly, ethnic and heavy percussive writing still stumps me. Quote
Asmodean Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Very good. I actually like your version more than the original, less techno-y and more down to earth and brassy. Great Stuff! Quote
arvelous Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 This is by far one of my favorite remixes. Even though this game is still so fresh you can't taste. This remix is just a pleasure to hear. Quote
John Revoredo Posted August 30, 2008 Author Posted August 30, 2008 Thank you so much for the comments.... I'll try to have the next wip in a couple of weeks... i have to finish some jobs and crap. I made some changes in the melodic line, now its more resembling to the original... I'll post something once i have made significative changes on the track, and its longer Quote
idir Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Hey Man, it's just AMAZING. It's very short, but I Think, this remix can be the better remix of an episode of FINAL FANTASY from this site. Continue to perform your Job, and you will Success. I keep an eye on this "Oeuvre d'art", you know ! Quote
Sweetcornman Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Wow Sounds great so far, can't wait until this remix is done Quote
Seph Seraphim Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 whow O_O it becomes better and better... at the Moment the Song, that I most looked foward to hera complete =D keep do it dude^^ Ps: Sry, for my late Reply, but I am not often on her. Quote
