Damn it Ryan, I don't have time for this.
You have single handedly made me fire up my emmelator and play ffvi through again and I know I don't have time for that.
Damn you. Good job.

Want me to post screenshots?
Quote:Original post by anthemaudioSome of the more chaotic layers of chord/chord progressions in there sound more accidental than implied, but it works all the same.Most of the applied dissonance was for contrast. Hopefully its doesn't feel out of place next to the more consonant passages. Thanks for letting me know about this.
Quote:Original post by anthemaudioWhat it sounds like is actually mish mash of a larger theme that may be occuring throughout the game? Like the, twisted, flip-side, something is horribly amiss version of the main theme. That's what I get anyways.Yes! This track does utilize a subliminal version of the motif. The intro theme features a variation of this theme as well, albeit in a different key and sequence. I hope it all works together when its all said and done.
Quote:Original post by anthemaudioThe only thing that sucks... is that I don't have a gamepad where I'm at currently. I'm getting used to the damn keyboard controls but...well anyways...Bummer. Maybe Santa can put one in your stocking.
Quote:Original post by FunkymunkyYes, though I do a majority of my equing after allocating specific instrument bundles into audio tracks. (ie such as audio bundles of winds, percussion, strings, etc.)
Are you EQing each instrument individually?
Quote:Original post by FunkymunkyAnd as far as instruments not working well together, one thing you can do is run each instrument through a scream distortion (usually tube or tape) and turn the distortion down, then tweak them so they each sound well together. It gives them all a similar feel while maintaining their distinctions.No kidding? Using a scream patch for something other than distortion? Interesting thought! I will have to try that out. As it stands, I am fairly pleased with the EQ'ing given the instrument sampling. I am afraid that the real sound problem lies with the quality of the samples, which don't sound very good in a clear setting. Hence the ridiculous amount of reverb to cover the seams and what not. I will be upgrading my setup shortly to make use of some high quality samples so we'll see how that goes. :)
Quote:Original post by Funkymunky Then you layer it with each instrument that plays a melody (and make it subtle) so that each instrument has the same kind of "glow" if that makes sense.Not quite! :[
