retroactive Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yes, more final fantasy music, enjoy. This is a ReMix of Matoya's Theme from Final Fantasy I, and it's practicly done. NEW VERSION: media.putfile.com/Final-Fantasy-97 notes: Fixed the bassline, meledy synth, and a bunch of other stuff.

retroactive Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 No Final Fantasy love? I've left this for what seems like a week, if there's no comments by the time this reaches the bottom of the page again, I'll just submit it I guess.

Tensei Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Guess I'll give you some feedback then, seeing as no-one else takes the time to do so: 00:00 - 00:24 I like the way you've given your own twist to the almost obligatory FF-arpeggio's, it might be a cool idea to have them panning from left to right, to add some juice 00:24 - 00:41 I like where this is going, the synth chords that come in sound really cool, and provide a really nice build-up, definitely keep this in. 00:41 - 01:12 If I may speak freely, the synth patch playing the main melody ( or one of them, seeing as it's probably layered) is extremely annoying, and draws away a lot of attention of the melodic and rhythmic context. Please consider using a patch that doesn't "cut through" as much. Also, as this seems to be the main part where the rhythm picks up, I'd suggest using a bass drum/kick drum sample with much more OOMPH, to accentuate the 4/4 Rhythm that is typical for these kind of techno/ trance songs. 01:12 - 01:44 Nice little break/bridge, but the transition to the next part still seems a bit sudden, you might want to progressively add more melodic and rhythmic elements to build up the tension, you could for example take the synth chords from 00:24 and have them fade in, and maybe change up the drum steps a bit (more). 01:44 - 02:15 I like the bell-like/chimey patch you're using, I just want to hear more of that bass-drum! 02:15 - 02:32 Same criticism about the synth patch here, even though it does seem to fit in better in this part. 02:32 - End No criticism here, you've done a good job of building the mix down and made a nice ending, but maybe you could have the final piano chord linger on just a bit longer with some delay, would be a nice touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Arrangement is pretty cool, i like rhythmic changes in the melody towards the end. Production is a bit hit and miss, in places its nice, and in others it isn't. Stuff like those crashes are a bit exposed, they sound really uncomfortable. At 0:57 you have bass parts playing chords, this never usually works out well, it just muddies things up. That lead sound is a bit annoying, but I agree it works better at the end. Also, if you're going to submit it, use a better host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroactive Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 I worked on a bunch more and fixed most of the problems mentioned in the posts above. You can get it here: media.putfile.com/Final-Fantasy-97 (i'll be providing a better host for the judges, dont worry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ah yes, I enjoy it a lot now! It seems pretty good now in terms of both arrangement and production, though I don't consider myself to be the one to say " This is OCremix quality", since I've never gotten accepted myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 i dig the new version! I've always loved matoya's theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hrm... I'm not sure this is solid enough production wise. Have you considered asking a judge directly what they think of it, because this is pretty bordeline if you ask me. It's definately getting there.

No I havn't really thought of that yet, but now that you mention that, and since other people are saying they like it I midaswell talk to a judge.
