Fishy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 It's been too long since I made something that wasn't intended for project whoring. This is my first proper remix attempt using Logic Studio, but I'm already loving it. Decided to make an epic FF8 mash. Yes I'm a fanboy, no I don't care. If you have any requests of moar themes for this go right ahead. I'm totally winging it 8 bars at a time so plenty of room to add shit. http://fishy.escariot.net/public/FF8%20FB%20v1.2.mp3 Just so you know I'm not interested in production feedback yet, because I haven't done anything at all except put a limiter on it. I'm gonna update this every few days or so until its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiesty Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Really nice work with the guitar and rhythm. Only thing i could suggest would be to oomf up the drums a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 awesome , although I think one note is offkey at parts >_>, iono if that's your own interpretation or I'm smoking crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole tune got a key change, it's not an off note. Props on this so far, I absolutely love The Landing. You should try and intertwine Force Your Way with it, I think that'd sound pretty awesome having a mix of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wrong musical explanation: I made up that lower riff and the only way it would fit was to sharpen the 6th on the main riff, turning it from Ab minor into Dorian. I quite like the change personally, although it seems t be grinding with some people on irc aswell. I'll keep it until I get death threats.

AMT Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 It gives a different feel than the original song, but it still sounds good. It's just when you're used to hearing the song one way, it can sound a bit awkward when you hear it differently, even if there's nothing really wrong with the new version. I say keep it.

This is the other reason I kept it. This is inevitably going to end up seeming medley-ish, so I need to change t up however I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Whoa awesome.. I love the harmonization on the guitars and the modifications you made to the melody. If you need live bass, hit me up Also, put in Maybe I'm a Lion, you can probably extract some epic riffage from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Small update: http://fishy.escariot.net/public/FF8%20FB%20v1.1.mp3 The next one will be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I hope you'll be including Force Your Way in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 But of course. I've had a lot of project commitments since I started this, but its still coming, dw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I like the shift into Dorian a lot. It makes the song much more musically exciting. Good job so far. Want an organ solo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skummel Maske Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Ooh, I like what I hear, especially the part from The Landing. I'm unsure about the shift to dorian myself, but at least it does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, its cool. I can sequence my own solos if I want one. Random thread revival inspired me to work on this more today btw. I've arranged at least another 2 minutes on this, just need to record it.

Inv1ctus Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 nice tone on the guitarage. im not familiar with the source, is it the battle music for ff8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc4life Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 There wasn't a next version. I'm very disappointed. I liked the way it started with the approach to Ultimecia's Castle and then the Landing kicked in. Any particular reason for leaving this in limbo, or have you done more work on this since and just decided to keep it to yourself instead of a completed submission to your now co-judges?

Fishy Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 But I did update it the other day. Check the first post again. Also I'm very busy these days. Full time work + judging + audio engineering and composing for a UT3 mod + trying to do 20 remixes at once + attempt at social life. One man can only rawk so hard.

jayc4life Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Just listened to the latest WIP there. Wow. I now suddenly don't care if this gets submitted or not. I'm keeping this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hate to sound like a n00b, but this is EPIC UBER PWNAGE! Really, great job, as usual, and this is sounding more and more awesome as it goes on. Force your Way builds up steadily and then explodes into what sounds like Don't Be Afraid, then transitions back into Force Your Way. It's over. Can't wait to hear the finished version! It earns this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Force your Way builds up steadily and then explodes into what sounds like Don't Be Afraid, then transitions back into Force Your Way. Thats pretty much the jist. The guitar on the later section is laughably bad in spots though, i was just sketching it out. Don't be afraid returns just after where it ends here.
