Ha have the first NES song for the next album redy :D Duck Tales 2 - Niagara Falls
(OK I worked already on this before this post started, but it was a good situation to get it finished)
So, I have a couple questions about the current project.
1. Is it on hold again, pending remastering or something like that?
2. Has it been decided exactly how it's going to be made available?
----------
And then I realized that the chord progression from Chrono Cross's Another World is the same progression as the chorus from Peace of Mind by Boston, and life was never quite the same.
Waiting for remastering from Vulpes and back cover from Hakoria.
Will be available on Mediafire.
I asked ash if it would be possible to upload it on the website but he never answered.
I think i'll put ito n the french torrent website "T411".
I'd like to end this one before really starting the NES stuff it's getting really long to wait...
I puted all the songs on CDs with automatic matering and then put them back on my computer and i didn't noticed a problem with the sound quality...
Can do an amateurish back cover too...
I'll wait a little bit more but i'd reallyl ike to move on to next stuffs.
And the point of the remastering was to change the volumes of the tracks to balance better?

That one is a pre-version. If there are still some problems, they can be recognized and changed :-) more ears are hearing more^^
So, all suggestions are welcome :-)
the quality on valley of the fallen star seemed really bad for some reason. i can hear compressor's warping tones as if they are functioning like phasers. xD was it made from the updated file i posted a little bit back? O_o it seems to sound okay on it's own, but i dunno. the eq seems quite different, so my guess is that it's just not the final mix version. ((This One) i'd titled this one "cosmo canyon final mix) to make sure it stood out lol. if it's easy to make the switch, it should sound considerably better. :P

quite the compilation of tracks, though!
Yap, I really used your new final mix . But right, i used some EQ on it, because the leads did hurt in the ears after maximizing, it was very sharp and high...
I'll have a look at it when i'm at home,'maybe there was a compressor too, but i'm not sure^^
ah. yeah if those highs are mixed too high, i could see them being kind of mean haha. listening to it repetitively at high volumes to mix it became a bit much after extended listens. but yeah, the bass seems a bit much as-is, and at many points, much of the sound seems to just kind of scoop out. :/ my stuff is probably a bit more quiet, without the boost, but the highs likely don't need to be boosted much before they peak in a couple of places, triggering whatever was being used for reduction. actually, on the album, it's literally been slowed down (my track time is 3:35 where on the album it's 3:48). that might explain why it sounds lower-quality in some places.
i don't mean to be giving you extra work, haha. i hoped it was the quick-fix. :/
riggering whatever was being used for reduction. actually, on the album, it's literally been slowed down (my track time is 3:35 where on the album it's 3:48). that might explain why it sounds lower-quality in some places.
It hasn't been slowed down, the difference in length is caused by lazyness^^
For the export I have to set a beginning- and ending-marker. This one can be moved to fix points or can be moved totally free, mostly I use fix points (normally full tacts/beats)...what is too much can be cut afterwards. I think that point is secondary, even because this isn't totally final^^
My fault with the compression in this song, did too much on one day^^
they peak in a couple of places,
When I look now on the visual data of the mix, I see that the song is louder in the second "loop" of the melody, maybe the settings (I don't know where in the I've been when I edited them, thought they were equal) aren't working well with both parts^^ Look, the right is bigger: http://s1.directupload.net/images/131227/xnxi4jvz.jpg
Option1: orientation on the second half and the first will be a bit more silent
Option2: The second half turned down and will be made like the first
Option3: The first half will be edited up and made like the second
Option4: I'm bad and cannot do this anyay xD
cheers to laziness! :D I bet you've got a lot more knowledge and experience than I do, though. maybe i should have explained my attempt at dynamics. xD
because the song literally repeated, i thought i'd make it more "epic" the second time by simply having it run more with more loudness. the jumps from verse - chorus are meant to be noticeable and the 2nd set of each of them was meant to be just a bit louder than the previous set in the same manner.
basically, in terms of loudness, the 2nd chorus is loudest, followed by the 1st chorus while the 2nd verse is louder than the first but still toned down a bit in order to kind of "calm down" from the first chorus. the fade-in was supposed to sound nice and clear, slowly bringing in the beat / bass from the distance.~
what I should have done was thought up some original leads or something to add the second time, but that's where I was lazy. haha
that wave you posted sounded entirely ideal (fade-in was ok, verse-chorus was great). if I must sacrifice diversity in loudness for quality, then that's cool. :P maybe pick what you think is the best of your options with my original ideas in mind. xD I appreciate you gettin' it soundin' nice before release, big time, man. :P
i'm not exactly recording from a studio, either. my mic's lucky if it's worth more than a dollar or two and I believe you can hear me step on my multi-effect pedal (it slipped and snapped lol) to turn the fuzz effect on for the bass during the switch from verse-chorus in my recording of "Valley of the Fallen Star" which is not professional grade stuff. xD also, my last audio recording's wave shape looked like a giant rectangle. (mini-cassette recorder sitting on a record player that's 5 feet from the drums and amps is not the way to go for basement rock, FYI.)
i'm definitely not trying to come across as judgemental. mine just turned out particularly weird during the mix, causing a bit of a drastic effect on its clarity. i've listened through the album already. I like your use of delay on "Who Are You", making it sound proper and accurate. On a site like gametabs, i just think it's cool that the music we all love is being arranged, recorded and shared.
i imagine the reason mine turned out so weird is because my original dynamics were done in a strange manner, (which means I am to blame, if there is to be blame.). Keeping Dynamics in consideration was something that I realized I hadn't paid enough attention to before reading a helpful post that Vulpes had posted. :P) I'd essentially already "mastered" it, making it hard to work with. It's in good hands now. xD
On a site like gametabs, i just think it's cool that the music we all love is being arranged, recorded and shared.
That's kind of what I'm getting at. We're all different level musicians that want to play our favorite VG tunes and share with others.
Sorry, I haven't heard most of the songs from the FFVII thing including your's. So, don't feel judged hahaha I was speaking more so about my songs because they're not really finished haha Seems really hard to remaster an album as a whole when so many different programs and means of recording were used. Good luck though!
