-huge update- phoenix wright, ace attorney - spirit of law (trial)

[melody]

source:

update (11/13):

first draft:

with this musical offering, masakazu sugimori thematically depicts the dualities that inhabit the courtrooms of phoenix wright. imagine this: the defense and prosecution are locked into a delicate tug-of-war between tenseness and composedness, while the gallery is subject to the silence within the storm. every step is carefully calculated and tread on thin ice; the judge exudes equanimity as his sway precariously sits under an unrelenting barrage of potentially convicting or potentially liberating evidence. lemme know if i had any success conveying those themes, or if i didn't. or whatever! peace.

[Rukunetsu]

Tackled this a while ago - but wow man; this totally blows my version outta the water. This is amazing; even for a wip - Keep it up.

[melody]

man i knew your name sounded familiar. peeped your game over mario and shiki no uta mixes a couple days back and couldn't remember where i heard rukunetsu before haha. anyway, your stuff is pleeeeenty dope

[timaeus222]

This is amazing! The drums have just the right amount of energy, and the piano's dead on.

[Cheersm8]

Kinda short, but since it is in the workshop i guess it will get longer... but my god does it sound great. Really like it as it is xpt for the length

"2 months and x days later"

Holy hell is it good. And no longer a lengh issue This just have to be added to the playlist!

[Shake]

I wish I could e-whip you or something so that you'd hurry up with this sexy, sexy choooon

[PROTO·DOME]

Yeah, this is sick. This kinda jazz is oh-so-right down my street.

Terrible end though, it's like it's a WIP or something.

[Phonetic Hero]

Oh lawdy, this is dripping with funk, and the snare is so punchy i'm afraid to get too close to my computer. The piece also goes great with the start up of the 90's Iron Man cartoon, if you were wondering

[melody]

huge update. op updated

[melody]

final update?? the rap is courtesy shing02 and the spoken word is a sample of an old radio interview. op updated with the link

[Chris ~ Amaterasu]

I like this Melody!!!

[melody]

thanks man, do those violas sound at all realistic to you? i had a hard time getting ewqlso to sound anywhere near decent haha

[Drakken]

Mmmm this is heavenly. The piano is luscious.

Could I trouble you to upload an instrumental version too? Man, this is like, TOO good.

EDIT: I'm in love.

[Rukunetsu]

ah! Didn't think you sampled Shing's Battlecry rap - nice job here Melody. Seriously man.

[Chris ~ Amaterasu]

thanks man, do those violas sound at all realistic to you? i had a hard time getting ewqlso to sound anywhere near decent haha

Not really, but they sound good and I think they fit the piece =)

[melody]

Not really, but they sound good and I think they fit the piece =)

thanks for the reply bro, what about them makes them sound fake? is it just the sample?

thanks drakken, rukunetsu. shing is def one of my favorite rappers. and yea, i'll upload an instrumental version for you as soon as the track is finished

[melody]

update, mostly of the samples. they've been trimmed and replaced with higher quality rips. didn't know the recording was of del close and john brent.

[Chris ~ Amaterasu]

It's probably just the sample tbh. In real life a viola section never sounds quite that bright, generally it sound more lush and mellow in nature - but like I said, I like how it sounds and I think it does fit well, so wouldn't change a thing =)

I would also second a +1 for having an instrumental version, but yeah - all the best with it =)

[melody]

we got rap from one of our own, detective tuesday! lemme know what you think guys, op updated with the link

[Jamphibious]

I dig these games and I dig this mix. I'm not always big on rap but it really works with the groove you've set up here.

Love the bassline. Such a smooth sounding bass.

I'm not production pro but it sounds pretty great for the most part. About halfway through (can't see the exact time on tindeck) it sounds like the vocals might be distorting ever so slightly, or something else in the mix maybe, but its hard to tell. I could also be hearing things.

Awesome piano solo, really beautiful.

So yeah, great stuff overall. Might be some things to clean up, but just slight issues if any, because its sounding pretty tight to my ear.

[Rukunetsu]

Huge update indeed. Nice job, both of you.

[JackKieser]

Holy hell, that piano is sexy...

[SynthesizedStampede]

I have nothing to contribute except to say that this is amazing... T_T

[Drakken]

I love this so so much; I can't help but smile while listening. I'm not generally one for rap, but here it's a fitting addition (nice job, Tuesday). Production is very crisp.

Can't wait to see this get posted.

EDIT: The drums (particularly the snare) seem less in your face than they were in the last version. I think I prefer the old one, but maybe that's just cause I'm used to it. Same goes for the pad you added when the beat comes in in the new version; I like the emptier feel without the pad there.

The new version. My vocals are synced just as I originally intended, and I wrote a couple of extra bars too.

Thanks for the positive feedback y'all. We do what we do.
