TroisNyxEtienne Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Remix: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/492839 Source: This remix was prompted by , and in it, he brought our attention to the Overthere Shrine theme, saying that this theme deserved remixes, orchestral arrangements....... Because I was moved by how beautiful the song was, and the context in which it played, I decided to make this remix. And so I sat down to FL 10 and finished this in about half an hour. I was influenced by-- Grambi's sadness upon losing Luvbi. My own sadness upon finding out about how my father and some of my friends had lost their ways. The awe and wonder I had whenever I thought of Heaven. The longing to come home and put everything back the way it once was, or perhaps better. Meeting Him face-to-face. I'm sorry, I'm about to cry..... The Overthere Shrine theme plays in Chapter 7-4 of Super Paper Mario, from the second visit onwards, if you're curious to know where this theme comes from.

Chimpazilla Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 You did this in half an hour???????? Wow... completely lovely... what string library are you using? I can't find anything to complain about... at all... so nice. Possibly too coverish... not sure though... (and I love SPM) Really, half an hour? *impressed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroisNyxEtienne Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yes. This is my estimate for the time I took, give or take. Exporting took longer, because of the instrument banks I used. I'm actually wondering right now at how I made this in such a short time, but I know I wanted to get it done quickly so that I could finish the montage for YouTube (with quotes from SPM) and then post it as a video response to Chuggaa's vid. Practically the entire set-up for this one was several copies of Fruity Soundfont Player. There's an orchestral SF which I share with Phyrnna (HalcyonicFalconX), the writer of the soundtrack to the Epic Battle Fantasy games. It's called Squidfont, and it's got most, if not all, of the orchestral presets. I used that for the strings and winds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tesselode Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Things I could say are wrong: 1. Maybe too cover-y 2. The bell sounds kind of have too much emphasis on the annoying high frequencies. Maybe EQ them a bit? 3. Most stuff is panned right quite a bit. 4. Lacks variety slightly. I think that's about it. Other than great, nice arrangement! It was quite enjoyable to listen to. Just add a little bit more variation and dynamics and I think it'll be a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPanic Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Not kidding, I was totally looking for a midi of this song once he mentioned remixing I'm a big chuggaa fan as well! This is very well done, I am having trouble finding complaints, maybe lower the vibrato on the higher strings a little bit. Everything else is beautifully done, the bells, the marimbas, the lower voice, it's so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, a lot of stuff has been panned to the left because I was actually copying, to the T, the arrangement in an orchestra. We had the bells (left), the harp and piano (left again), the violins and violas (left)... Only the bassoon, celli and basses were right. I might've not done it right, and I would really like some guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the video responding time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
