Liontamer Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The soundtrack to Final Fantasy X is very beautiful. I always find it to be very atmospheric and the mood of each area is generally communicated very well in each track. But the only problem I had with it was that it felt very electronic. I was glad when any piano or orchestrated collections were released. I thought I'd do my own version of one of the tracks, sort of as a re-imagined arrangement that resembles a real orchestra more closely (building up and creating a little more of a dynamic and heroic feel). Cheers -- -Marc J. http://checkerpop.com http://junker.ca -------------------------------------------- http://tzone.org/~llin/psf/packs2/FFX_psf2.rar - 319 "Time of Judgement" & 120 "Song of Prayer" Opening mimicked the original, but then switched gears at :23. Awkward string articulation at :43. Orchestration seemed like it was distorting a bit, so hopefully someone else can verify that or not. Cool "Hymn of the Faith" usage from 1:39-1:59. Pretty solid dynamics, good interpretation despite remaining in the same genre. Title's not creative at all, but whatchagonnado? Good work, Marc.

Palpable Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Sounded like there might have been a little distortion at times, the drums got loud. Felt ok to me though, since it was just for brief moments. What are you going conditional on, Larry? I liked the feel here, a lot of the same instruments but a very different feel. This is pared down to the strings and martial drums for a lot of it, which gives it a cool mood. Huge shift in volume from the quiet sections to the loud ones, but handled well. The strings felt a little unrealistic at times, but I was alright with them. Good take on it, seems like a pass! YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 What are you going conditional on, Larry? The distortion being fixed, as long as peeps confirm what I'm hearing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah, I'm getting some clipping/distortion too. I like this. It's nicely arranged, good dymanics. Not the greatest samples, but you made 'em work. Conditional YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHz Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeesh, definitely getting the distortion. The loud sections with the drumrolls are really hot. Production is decent otherwise, you got a good sound out of your samples. Liking the arrangement, similar approach to the original obviously, but with more than enough interpretation on the source. But the clipping has to go. YES (conditional) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
