djpretzel Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Conservative, but doing something very specific, as the arranger (and mix title) explains... - djp --- ReMixer name: dbellieny real name: Daniel Bellieny email address: website: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMp-n8QarIyUmdzQlBx-q2Q userid: 54726 Name of game(s) arranged: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Name of arrangement: Celtic Dragonborn Name of individual song(s) arranged: The Dragonborn Comes comments about the mix: I really love Jeremy Soule's score. And this song, specifically, has only in-game a capella interpretations. And there is no internet version (even the most famous) addressing its real intention, which is: to be played as a celtic song. So I decided to write this arrangement, and try to bring some justice to this beautiful piece.

Chimpazilla Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The guitar playing is absolutely luscious in this track. The female vocal is good, but it is mixed slightly dry and up front, so any off-notes are emphasized. My biggest issue is how completely conservative the track is. Just like the source tune, it is guitar and vocals only. The lyrics are the same, the entire feel is the same. As nice as this is, it's too similar overall for me.

OceansAndrew Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 great vocals and guitar, but I agree that the arrangement is minimal, and the voices are a bit too dry to match the guitar sound. Overall it's really nicely performed, but the arrangement itself is too conservative for OCR. No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Based on the above observations and my own original observation, I concur with the arrangement being too conservative. There are also the intonation issues on the vocal, but these are minor and probably wouldn't have held the mix back on their own, had the arrangement been more interpretive.
