DJ-Arthur Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 This is a really early WIP (about 1:30 long) about MegaMan X 1's Zero theme and the talking stuff where zero dies, and much of the arrangement and mixing and stuff is yet to be done, but I kinda need some quality Orchestra strings samples... My strings are, like, pulled out of the GM soundbank and shoved straight into a sampler... I can do a lot with attack/decay, and some heavy reverb to mask it all, but I'd rather have something better than shhh---. So, if anyone can help, Thanks ahead. The guitar sounds like the mood I want to create, although it's just a synthesizer. Feel free to dissagree though. Here's the WIP. (128kbp MP3) Anyways, about the song, I kinda want this feeling you get from just this ("drama", in case it isn't obvious...) to amplify throughout the song, and maybe adding some melo-over-dramatic ending of some sort, but that's yet to be sorted out. I'd love to hear any other thoughts as well about progressing to some other style or something. EDIT: Version 2 Now available for Download! Since I was cut-off from pretty much all of the internet the past couple of days, I decided to work on this track... I pitched it about 5 notes up, because the strings & guitar come out better that way. Also, I fine-tuned the plucked string module for some more ambience, and added some panning to most of the instruments to create a more spacial enviroment sound... or something like that... It worked out pretty neat, if I may say so myself. Maybe I should work on the solo toms a bit, 'cause they don't sound the way I want them to, yet they add to the mood in a positive way... I Especially like the way the familiar sounding overdriven guitar brings back memories from 3:46 to the end. Let's see if you guys notice which stage those first bars came from ^.^ (Maybe It's time I took out the good ol' SNES for some Maveric Hunting, eh?) Here's Version 2 (Still WIP, 128kbps MP3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboKa Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Wow the guitar is good, what sample did you use ><. Well all of it's good. Definitely reinterpreted because you changed the up the tempo and made it a lot sadder T_T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ-Arthur Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 The guitar sound actually comes from a build-in synthesizer from Orion Platinum 7 (The Plucked String module)... Now for some string-sample-hunting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really need 'em that bad, I could make some samples of it for you... It's not like it's that much work or something Just tell me which notes you want, and I'll see what I can do. By the way: A little Off-topic, but, I Kicked Sigma's dog, behind AND face with the Hadoken in MMX1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ-Arthur Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Well, I'm almost done with this... maybe a little mastering left, but that's for version3 to wait... I've done some tuning to the toms section, and they sound a whole lot better now, and some reverb settings made it complete. Maybe some rearranging in the final section with the overdriven guitar, and even making it come out sooner, so I have some more time left for a little more climaxing ending... or stuff like that... For now, it's still a lot like V2, so no new WIP yet... But any comments and/or other stuff is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
