Emunator Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 There's not much subtlety to the arrangement here - everything feels like it's up front-and-center. However, the arrangement makes that approach feel almost appropriate. Despite the somewhat-weak samples, especially on the guitar, I really enjoyed what you did with this short theme, it's very quaint and reminds me of something out of Banjo-Kazooie in terms of how uplifting it can be. Nice debut mix, I still enjoyed it despite the weakness in some areas You can only go up from here, so make it happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hmm....kinda cool. For a track that was more like a seven second sound effect rather than a real song, this looks like you fleshed it out and gave it some beautiful sounding life. The guitar does sound a little ehhh *wiggles hand*, but all in all, the pros outweight the cons. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evory Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 At risk of sounding heretical, this reminds me of MapleStory, with the drumset + woodwind combination and all. And as strange as it sounds, MapleStory is one of the games which induces the most nostalgia in me. So it's actually a really good thing. It's some kind of contradiction in me, but this arrangement was so uplifting to the extent of almost moving me to tears. I've no idea how to explain it, I don't want to try to explain it, I just want to sit back and listen while I revel in catharsis. So I just wanted to say, great job, absolutely amazing arrangement.

swansdown Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 For the scene, this is remarkably uplifting. I'd like to imagine it takes place after the game, when all is well. This music is great for calming the spirit. Peaceful, perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I too hear the Maplestory vibe, and I too enjoy that. We need more Maplestory mixes. But that's beside the point. This track is just... wow. Yes, the samples are a little lacking, especially in the drums and guitar. But damn, the arrangement ties every little piece together really well, so the quality of the samples doesn't matter, at least, not to my ears. Flute boy's got some brilliant help from the Nocturne, it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
