OceansAndrew Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Contact Information * Charlie Atom * José Carlos Peláez Lazo * jcpelaez@live.com * http://charlieatom.com * Your userid: "42777 " Submission Information * Final Fantasy X * To Zanarkand * Nobuo Uematsu * This is a Progressive House Remix of "To Zanarkand". The original song is at 3/4, I had to replay all the piano part to make it 4/4 for a dance song. I used a lot of sidechain compresion. I named it "To The End" because everytime I listen the song I think the game is going to end. I used Nexus, Sylenth and Atrutia Minimoog, with a lot of percussion samples.

OceansAndrew Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 The production being pressed way harder than it needs to be is my first impression. :/ The arrangement is pretty interpretive and works well, though some of the extended sections without dominant source usage slowly add up. Changing it to 4/4 works and is a cool spin. Production-wise, the sounds are well chosen and gel, but the massive over-compression is hurting this a lot. That definitely needs to be toned down before this can pass. No, please resubmit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yeah, the over-compression is really hurting this. Aside from that, the arrangement does get a little away from the source at times, but I think it returns often enough to keep the source in mind. Bringing the source to 4/4 works pretty well overall. Fix this up, I'd like to hear it again. NO (resubmit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 1982 called, they want their piano back. Yeah this a generally well conceived mix, just missing the polish. I would disagree that the problem is overcompression though . The problem is there isn't really a gel holding the elements together. Everything sounds a little seperated, nothing really complementing another layer properly. Pretty much every synth sounds like it's not quite sitting in the mix well. They sound like unrelated presets that haven't been tweaked to work together. Sorry if it's a little difficult to give a meaningful solution to this problem. Hot damn, transition before the half way mark went on way longer then I expected in a good way. That's a place where you've definitely gotten things right. Sounds like you have the potential to bring this up a few more notches into the zone. Looking forward to hearing from you again.
