So I got this idea for a massive mix, sort of in commemoration of one of the greatest gaming series out there. Thus, I fired up FL studio and had at it:

(HD render, hosted on vimeo cuz youtube was being a hater.)

The source tune is(are, rather) the worldmap songs from Final Fantasy(sies) 1 through 9.

Make yourself a sandwich (or some hot cocoa. it's winter, afterall) and give it a listen. Feedback is welcomed.

i love it! I can't really see anything wrong with it. ^0^ is there any possible way for me to get the Mp3? :-D how did you manage to balance all the volume levels?

Thanks Wolfmizu! I just added a download link via mediafire.

As for balancing out the levels, I used a combo of multiple instances of FL Studio 9's "Fruity Limiter" on certain channels, messing with it's limiting and compressing functions, and "Equo" and "Fruity Limiter" on the master track. Then I tweaked the levels on the mixer until it sounded just right.

I also tried to keep certain instruments in certain roles so that even though I transitioned from song to song, things wouldn't get too confusing, audio-wise.

Awww man! That is truely awesome. Talk about a Remix that ups the Nostalgia :D

The transitions from Track to Track is very smooth too!

Beginning and Ending with the Prelude was very cool :)

Only suggestion i can make is too try and make it sound a bit less the same throughout - i dunno lol

Fun mix! But what you call "confusing" I call "interesting." I wouldn't be afraid to change up the instruments--twelve minutes is quite a length for even the greatest of timbres.

I would also reconsider your generous use of cymbals in the FF1 sections, starting at 0:58 and 1:21. It is pretty funny, though. ;)

I think OCRemix has an upload limit of 6mb or something like that according to their filesize limit of song submissions. At 12 minutes long, I wonder how you're gonna manage that without really compromising sound quality lol

Other than that, crazy stuff putting this together indeed. Nice work.

Whoa, thanks for all the feedback everyone, especially for giving me 12+ minutes of your time like that. Your listens and responses are greatly appreciated!

@Nubioso: Yeah, that file size limit may be problematic. Even at a more reasonable bitrate, it's still a hefty mp3.

@Johnny B: Thanks for the tip on the cymbals in FF1. I didn't even consider that may need to pull back a bit.
