djpretzel Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Contact Info Your ReMixer name: Chronodin Your real name: Jude Gore Your email address: chronodin@gmail.com Your website: http://www.nerdcentral.org ReMix Info Name of game(s) ReMixed: Final Fantasy Name of individual song(s) ReMixed: Battle Scene Location of MP3 file: Name of remix: Light Warriors at the Symphony This remix is basically a few variations of the battle theme from Final Fantasy done in a baroque/classical orchestral style. The idea came to me when I was basically humming the tune to myself and changing the rhythm around a bit so it ended up being in a 3/8 meter, and I went from there. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my first remix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 http://www.zophar.net/nsf/ff1.zip - Track 16 Not a bad effort here. Samples need a bit more realism and depth to the sounds. Good vibe here and nice switch on the rhythm moving the time to 3/4, but a bit conservative on the arrangement as you just go through 3 runthroughs of the source melody with different instrumentation. Good expansionist ideas on the instrumentation, but get a bit more creative and rearrange things further. Lots of potential here. Look forward to hearing from you again here.

DarkeSword Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 3/8 time? 3/4 dude. Anyway, time sig interpretation! I love this kind of stuff, and you did a pretty good job here. Unfortunately Larry's right about the fact that it just repeats 3 times. Also add the fact that the sounds aren't that good, and it leads me to a NO. Work more on developing new ideas in the subsequent iterations, and get some better samples! Rework and Resub plz. (Also, you don't go to a Symphony, so that word usage in the title is wrong as far as I know ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Coma Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 GMish harpsichord doesn't cut it. Start and stop transition at :50 is ugly when it should have been smooth. Very good interpretation of the theme, but the arrangement lacks in development and fluidity. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny B Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Actually, this would probably be considered "fast" 6/8 time. But that's nitpicky bullshit. I like the attempt here, but there simply isn't enough variation to cut it. I really like some of the ideas presented, but the super-low sound quality and blatant repetition kill it. We need more creative arrangements like this, but this really needs above GM MIDI quality and a bit more variation to the themes. Nice concept, though. The other judges covered everything else.
