Karth Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I brought the tune of Nobuo's Highwind theme from FF7, the time signature and key (and lyrics, of course) from Schubert's "Ave Maria", and my Shure microphone to the table. This was the result. http://www.mediafire.com/?61tkjy3yjsg I might continue it if it's worth continuing. Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prasa_U. Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Anything related to Schubert is worth continuing. But seriously, I like what I hear, I want to hear more, I don't know if the sound quality is good enough though, but I really like the concept.

Alexis Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 It's a pretty cool idea, I'd love to hear more. Sounds good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Short, but good! The recording has some hum at the start and end so you might want to edit that out, and I'd suggest trying to widen the panorama a bit, instead of having everything coming out of the left speaker. Keep on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 This has potential for awesome. More! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karth Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Prasa_U. : I agree with you that the sound quality is poor. My Shure is sensitive, so it picks up a lot of the buzz in the room. With a single vocal recording, it's hardly noticeable--but when I layer six recordings of myself on top of each other, there's a problem. I tried flushing out the fuzz with some equalization, but my mastering skills are non-existent. If I want this mix to get anywhere, I'll need to find someone who can help me with the mastering. Thank you, though, for making it clear to me that this problem needs rather-prompt resolving. And I'm glad to know you liked the concept, as well. Oh, and might I add that your Syberia ReMix was all kinds of good? Well (whether I might or not), I DO add said statement. Really enjoyed it, glad it made the cut. yodaisbetter: (Yoda really IS better) Thanks, I'll work on extending this whenever the recording equipment is free. I'm not sure if the final will be solo choral, though. I might want some light orchestration (not overtly similar to Schubert's, of course), mainly to make the 3/4 time signature clearer to the listener. "Sounds good so far" is definitely good news at this stage. Tensei-San: I recognize the hum and I'll be working on it before releasing the next update. The panning I'm clueless about. I notice, of course, that it's almost completely on the left speaker, but I don't have any idea why. It's no huge loss if I have to record the intro over again, though--there were some parts that needed better timing. Anyway, thanks for the enthusiasm. I'll try to produce something cleaner posthaste. DragonAvenger: "potential for awesome" is EXACTLY how I was hoping you'd phrase it. I'll definitely work on "More!" over the weekend ("definitely" really translating to "if time, and also my father, permits it"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antelucan Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 This is the kind of thing I'd like to see more of in the future at OCR: innovative and fresh new ways of reinterpreting songs that have been remixed countless times already.

Fishy Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 This has so much potential. I would suggest maybe using a different set of lyrics that are more appropriate or relevant and expanding on this. You could also approach someone with a good orchestral ability, you could make one badass classical choral collab out of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion303 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I like this idea a lot, and it sounds like a promising start. Schubert is my favorite composer, and I love Ave Maria, but for some damn reason I had absolutely no idea he's the one who wrote it. Amazing. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
