anterroir Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 So took a shot on the crystal maiden theme -> which became Zelda's lullaby later in the series. As I love the 80's, tons of reverb, electronica, chiptune glissandos and orchestral parts -> I stuffed that all together in there. It wasn't meant to be a remix in the beginning but when I had written the first 8 bars it just came "in" there. remix wip: http://anterroir.com/ocremix/maiden_final.mp3 remix wip2: http://anterroir.com/ocremix/7th_maiden_master.mp3 remix final final : http://anterroir.com/ocremix/maiden_final2.mp3 ------- sources: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPfK1Uub9o0 - alttp - maiden theme - alttp - darkworld theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Not gonna leave a long review/crit thing, not now anyway. Just wanted to say this has a great sound. Gonna sub? Gonna change anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 As I love the 80's, tons of reverb, electronica, chiptune glissandos and orchestral parts -> I stuffed that all together in there. I'm surprised WillRock isn't all over this kick-ass 80's tune , but I guess he moved on from the wip forum a looong time ago, since he had the misfortune of getting posted Anyways, I agree with Rozo in that it rocks. 2:30 is an awesome change-up btw. Gotta love that 80's groove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anterroir Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 thanks I fixed some small things suggested by a very good friend: bells melody change; the string section is now a bit smoother in the transition; clarinet the same; section before 2:30 has some more hats to support the buildup;bass in last part played a somewhat wrong harmony and I tamed the sidechaining -> http://anterroir.com/ocremix/7th_maiden_master.mp3 now I'm waiting for a mod review and after that I'll submit (hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 It seems this little gem of a song got buried under a landslide of other posts... Come on mods, give the gentleman the review he requested so that he can move on to "submit!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Wow, yeah, this got buried, I didn't even notice it at all Some pretty awesome sounds you've got going in here. Great soundscape and mixing, though the bass is coming off a little strong. Not a big deal there though. My qualm with the mix is that you can't really tell when the intro ends and the rest of the song begins, there's not much of a buildup until after that extended percussion-less breakdown. I suppose you could say this needs a bit more of a defined arrangement/progression in the first half of the song. This could pretty easily be accomplished just by building up your drumloops more, which would help anyway because the ones you're using now are fine for an introduction/breakdown, but could stand to be a little bit more interesting for the rest of the mix. That's about all I've got to say right now, I don't know the best way of approaching that but hopefully the feedback is useful for you. Definitely keep at this one, it's got a really nice warm sound to it and I like it a lot And yeah, in the future, if anything like this slips through the cracks for this long, definitely send a PM to me, Will or Stevo so we can attend to it. The way the mod review system is set up, it's rather easy for us to miss something if the forums are particularly busy or if we haven't had time to check the forums for a day or two, so yeah... sorry about that!

anterroir Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Oh thats okay by me - I would have waited even longer. Actually it got no intro at all, except that reverse fade in. After revisiting the song it seems a little short and "disturbing" though. I thought about adding the "killing the boss" explosions and get right into the track. I have to redo that and if doesn't work I'll do the buildup approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anterroir Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 After many moons have passed I've finally redone the intro and the first lead passages. Hope the stall beginning is now fixed. http://anterroir.com/ocremix/maiden_final2.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarinilli Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hey Anterroir! Just wanted to say I've always loved this. I still have your first WiP, and though the final cut is beautiful and very clean, I still adore the v1 of this. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
