Brandon Strader Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The cello part is extremely problematic. There is a large number of wrong notes and sloppiness in the cello performance -- it's actually rather surprising nobody mentioned that. The low end is such an important frequency and so prominent. For a debut mix, though, not too bad at all. Just needs a LOT of refinement and production improvement which you could hopefully address with future mixes.

Crulex Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I've always thought Zanarkand was a beautiful source, and this is just plain gorgeous. I'm not the biggest connoisseur of classical music or the like, but I do enjoy string instruments, especially quartets, so hearing Zanarkand with those instruments were something I could get behind. Close to the original in it's melody, but still different enough in arrangement to be it's own piece, truly a wonderful ReMix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimeTower Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 There is something to be said for purity, and this is it and more. If you've played the game - or even if you haven't - do yourself a favor, turn the lights off and listen for three minutes. You'll be transported back to another time. Ah.

OverClocked PodCast Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 My ear is not so well-trained as Brandon's, so most of the sloppiness was lost amid a wave of raw, emotional simplicity that stirred the soul. The arrangement is gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CausticBleach Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Although I've never played any of the Final Fantasy games, thanks to my friends and OCRemix I've at least heard a lot of tracks, and this is one of my favorite. Like Emblem180, it really moved me, gave me chills and goosebumps; but as Brandon also mentions, the cello's missed notes really hurt the lower voice of this mix when the lower end was already weak enough. But overall, I freaking love this mix. I love quartet performances, and this one was pretty well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
