Gario Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 Previous Decision Greetings, I've just seen the judges decision topic on my remix of Dark Souls 3 Iudex Gundyr "the Ashes Judge". Thanks a lot for the appreciations and compliments on the writings and orchestration techniques I used in ! I spend so much time to remix it in an original way. I'm sorry for the production issues, I don't know what happened with the 8Dio Requiem VST, so I've corrected it by a simple reloading. And then I added a limiter to increase the volume of the track. (I've changed some details on staccato trumpets too, nothing important) I Hope it's ok to submit it again, I don't want to overstrain you. Regards
Gario Posted November 7, 2017 Author Posted November 7, 2017 Man, a nice, quick response and I don't post it up here for two months. Sorry 'bout that. I didn't comment the first time around, but I compared the two files and it seems the clipping issues were addressed. It's also a pinch louder, which is a nice touch. Considering it was a pretty strong arrangement before, I think it's an easy pass for me. Nice work! EDIT (11/07): Okay, I can hear some crackling too at 0:44-0:46 and 3:22. Most of the prior deal-breaking crackling was decreased, though (like the really bad portion at 1:34 from the old version), and at the other sections listed it was almost imperceptible. I hear it, but I don't at all consider it deal-breaking - I'm sticking to my YES on this. YES
MindWanderer Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 I'm sorry, but I'm still hearing a lot of crackling. Tried it on multiple headphones just to make sure it wasn't my hardware, but no: there's distinct crackling at 0:44-0:46, 1:49, 3:22, and 3:32. I think I hear some quieter distortion here and there, but it's mostly drowned out by the music and isn't a big deal. It is, however, significantly less cluttered, and the volume is more consistent now. I'd personally prefer it if 3:14-3:21 were a little quieter, as it's painfully loud when I set my volume at a level where I can hear the quieter sections clearly, but it's brief and that's more a pet peeve of mine specifically. Fix the crackling and I think this is good to go. YES/CONDITIONAL
Liontamer Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I wasn't hearing a lot of crackling any longer, and while I didn't hear any pops around 1:49, I can confirm I heard them from 0:44-0:46, 3:21-3:22, and at 3:31 like MindWanderer did. 3 light pops isn't enough to make me a NO vote, but it would be nice to get a pop-free render. Otherwise, the arrangement's good to go, same as last time; if this is the best render we can get (with those 3 light pops), that's also OK. YES
Nutritious Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Just chiming in to co-sign on the comments above. Nice arrangement overall. For me personally, I'd like volume a tad bit normalized so I don't have to turn up the volume to hear the quiet sections, but I can understand the reticence to lose dynamics in orchestral pieces. Just to note, the note combinations around 1:58 - 2:08 sounded off to me. It's brief, but noticeable. Good stuff here. YES
DragonAvenger Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Coming in as well that this sounds much improved in volume and there is much less clipping. I did hear the sections mentioned by the others while in headphones but I'm betting they would not be nearly as noticeable on speakers, and they don't work out to be a deal breaker by themselves. Thanks for the quick update though! YES
