Vig Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hey folks. I worked all day to finish this and get it on the board before I go away next week. It's a remix of Fortune's theme from MGS2. if you dont know the original, you could try p2p, or ask me if i'm around. This mix came quite spontaneously; I layed down the acoustic guitar track one night when i was playing in my room. i did all the other recording this week. I'm putting the mix on the board instead of sending it to djp because as a result of the spontoneity of the recording, the mix kind of meanders...i didnt do it with OCR in mind, so i wasnt sure if it was right for OCR. but it came out pretty well, so here it is. as you will hear, it's about 90% acoustic. had a good time with this one. hope you like it. -Jesse Thanks to binnie for hosting. EDIT: updated, minus clipping and sharp ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Coma Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 You had little reason to have second thoughts. Beautiful development and progression, free-flowing acoustic movement without repetition. I can vouch for the arrangement quality as I've played the game. It'd be neat to have your vocals reprise, but it keeps'em fresh as a once-only. I can sit here and fill out this post field with a bunch of dazzling adjectives, but I'll let Dave handle that for once. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m68030 Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Pretty cool. very light and all that stuff. Totally unfamiliar with the original, but I have enough faith in Vig to not try and pull a fast one on us Sounds very nice. There really isn't a whole lot I can say critically on this one. This particular style is pretty hard to critique since it's so free-form. The technical aspects of the recording are great, very crisp and clear. My only concern is that some of the bass bits are a TAD resonant... sort of a blooming effect. I'd have put the mic nearer the neck, or used a higher up pick up if it were electric, but thats me. Also I would have rather heard the vocals in the end instead of the start. It's sort of a climactic effect since it's such a nice haunting sound, and it makes you want a bigger high point the rest of the track, which never really comes. Nothing technically wrong though, so I'm not gonna rant over it. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Wow this sounds beautiful! It sounds inspired, and it's flows really well. I could go on, but there's no point, the comments have already been made, you know it's good. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protricity Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I must give this a NO until the clipping is removed (there is quite a large amount) and the abrupt cut-off ending is cleaned out. Not his best in production or arranging, but there is a great deal of improve guitar skill and style involved. I hope to hear better from Mr. Taub in the future YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
