djpretzel Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 NEW FILE I talked with the author and he gave me a far more updated version, so rate this instead. Dave - can you update the judge folder file with this file? thx. -Prot Okay... getting on OCR: take 2. I'll save your guys some trouble and make this straight to the point. ReMixer: Disciple of the Mix Title: In Mem'ry of Sir Anthony (A March Through the Plains) Game: Final Fantasy Tactics Length: 5 minutes, 27 seconds Size: 5,984kb Bitrate: 112-192kbps VBR. That was the smallest encode I could do and not lose quality on the snare. I caught hell trying to get it right. Lots of trial and error. Original song: "Run Past through the Plain". Can be first found in the game in the "Sweegy Woods" stage. Composers: Masaharu Iwata & Hitoshi Sakim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protricity Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 This is pretty damn cool, but rather repetitive. The progression builds however. It doesn't stay at one section and repeats. It continues to build.. I really like that aspect of the song. Overall, the song lacks any real percussion, but the instruments take over that element of the song with their momentum. Theres a few off note sections like at 3:05. It seems very stylistic though. I'm pretty borderline, This one gets a YES based on it's sheer momentum.

Malcos Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Heh, this really does sound like a performance, particularly the ending part. Piano sound could have been better, but all in all this mix is different, and has 'character'. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m68030 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Those are some nice sounding pizz strings there, sir. I wish a few of the places where it built up there was a stronger foundation to land on after it breaks... just something a bit thicker than what's there... maybe just some marcatto strings under it all on the tonic, or something. The break at 3:24ish is sort of like what I'm saying... I don't dig the singlesample sound of the snare and it's stereo placement. It's really killing this mix for me now, i was enjoying the hell out of it until then. That's one thing that always bugs me... really shitty samples along side really good ones in a track... it makes me think you either didn't care (which makes me frown) or you just didn't think it was important (which also makes me frown). I thought the ending was kinda neat too. Reminds me of a symphonic arrangement of "Watchmen, Tell us of the Night" that I once heard. *still listening to it a few times* I'm horribly torn over this one. Parts are just perfectly transporting, and that snare is like reality sneaking up behind you and going "BOO MOTHERFUCKER!" Being that I'm borderline on this, and I'm usually horribly objective, I'll side on YES since if if I enjoyed it mostly, then I think most people will enjoy it morely.... or somethign.

Israfel Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Umm...this doesn't seem to know what it's trying to be. You've got this subdued instrumentation, and then this pounding snare drum line comes in. I mean, what's going on at 3:25- driving snare line or a quiet solo piano? It's like the piece is caught between wanting to be a meditative work and wanting to have a big climax- and as a result it's caught somewhere in the middle and just meanders around. I'm borderline- at times it seems like an empty arrangement without any real focus or direction. And at other times it can be fairly enjoyable. Strikes me as a rather flawed composition with a few nice qualities. I'll let the listeners decide for themselves. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
