FFVII - Aeris' Theme Remix (Glitch)

[Eshmasesh]

Been a while since I attempted remixing something for this site. I decided to try my hand at it again, I've made vast improvements in production.

After scrounging through all the videogames I've collected over the years I found FFVII and realized that I never actually finished it. So I started playing where I last left off, finding the keystone just before *OMG SPOILERS* Aeris dies *OMG SPOILERS*. I really paid attention to the music at said scene and was suddenly inspired to remix it.

It's only about a minute long so far but I'd love feedback to see if I'm on the right track.

It was doing something wierd, the url I typed was redirecting to a different one o_O I fixed it now.

I'm not someone who can listen to a bunch of glitch songs but I definitely appreciate them just because they do have a really cool sound to them if done right.....unfortunately, I don't think I have what it takes to make a good glitch song, I always make mine too ambient =P

Anywho, I like what you got thus far man, definitely build onto that and just swell it up into something epic!

I think one belongs in OverLooked Remix. It's a little too silly to be doing this track any real honor =/

This isn't a joke track.

Interesting.

What you have going is rather nice. I would assume you're going to add more then just piano and drums though as the song progresses. Pads, bass, pady bassy synths, etc.

In my opinion however, the obvious usage of dblue's plugin is a turn-off. It urks me when I hear the same basic dblue pattern of like, tapestop, retrigger, reverse, gate. Now while I'm not saying you can't use it at all, what I am saying is that you should tweak the fuck out of it so it doesn't sound like you're using it. Avoid the dead giveaways like tapestop and the modulation effects.

Keep going, add more, I'll keep an eye on this.

Yeah, I'm gonna add a lot more to it. I understand what you mean with dblue, I love the different timbres it produces but I'm still learning how it works. I'll keep your criticism in mind as I develope the track.

After listening to it on my speakers at home I realized how absolutely horrible dblue made the piano in that whole middle section sound o_O I scrapped most of it. It sounds way better now.

Excellent job so far! This style you used seems to work very well.

My only suggestion would be to keep working and expanding it. Add some more variety into it as well, and give it more of an original flair. Like... try deviating a bit from the source's melody, and give it your own touch.

Keep it up!
