jabond23 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hello, I did a hard rock borderline metal remix of the JENOVA battle theme from FF7. Please let me know what you think. Thank you. https://soundcloud.com/nintenjoe64/final-fantasy-7-jenova-metal-remix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) there's a lot I like about this! the uh keyboard ambiance synthy stuff is a nice touch, breaks it up a little from the kind of typical straight up rock cover I thought this was going to be. Also, the ways you break away from the source are really satisfying. I kind of wish there was more of that? I'm pretty cool with the source / original / source format as much as anyone, but I feel like you could take it even further. Not meaning more crazy soloing, just, more reinterpretation and playing with the source. (side note, I thought for sure it was going to transition to a part at 2:27 with that random synth wobbling in)the drum patterning itself is nice, a good mix of.. variety and getting the job done but the sounds of the drums themselves seem a little off to me, somehow? The first lead guitar seems a little distant in the beginning, like it's okay that it's not eating everything - I'm really glad you can still hear the bass and synthstuff through it, but even then it could probably be brought a touch forward? Also, the way the tone changes at around 1:00, with the shift in volume and the introduction of that one guitar with the weird attack, is quite a bit jarring. Same thing when that guitar shows up at 3:12. That sound consumes all... But overall yeah I think this is a really solid thing going on right now Edited February 19, 2015 by Tables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
