Just to say I enjoyed the arranges although I'm unfamiliar with the originals, and that I completely agree about the hi-hats. I find myself having to double check the original files when I upload things to check they didn't sound like that originally. :V |

Hi again! Your mixing has improved, I think (not that it wasn't already good to begin with). Still, there is room for further growth. The volume levels are slightly unbalanced between different instruments, also, I would have preferred more use of panning for wider sound (tbh, the Faithful arrangement was way better in those aspects). Maybe you should pay more attention to this sort of thing and not rush your work too much, until everything is perfect. Also, it seems like you are trying to use a broader variety of effects than before, which sounds great, so thank you for that - I really enjoyed listening to both pieces. --- Quote ---hi-hat quality --- End quote --- So true. As for the previous piece - Sweet Dreams, was it? What I like most about this arrangement is that it really shows your own unique style. Which you have obviously already developed, not that I am jealous or anything... |

I really gotta stop forgetting I exist here, oops. Still got here on time at least. --- Quote from: Z_A on April 08, 2018, 07:34:53 AM ---The volume levels are slightly unbalanced between different instruments, also, I would have preferred more use of panning for wider sound (tbh, the Faithful arrangement was way better in those aspects). --- End quote --- Concerning volume, it's really a thing I'm probably terrible at (because I really like hearing accompaniment layers over melodies sometimes, etc.). Concerning panning, whether I pan more or not depends on what instruments I have, and how they're used. As for what I just posted, I happened to do some weird panning automation to the piano, among other things. I really should try to add even more layers just for the purpose of spreading the sounds outwards. --- Quote from: Z_A on April 08, 2018, 07:34:53 AM ---Maybe you should pay more attention to this sort of thing and not rush your work too much, until everything is perfect.

I'll be honest, that'll probably be something I'll never stop doing. That's more for personal reasons though. As for effects, I'm still working on it! Synths in particular always get me. Reverb and Delay is already bad enough, but then there's all this stuff like LFO and filters that I need to get the hang of. It's all so confusing to me right now... Also glad you liked them! --- Quote from: Z_A on April 08, 2018, 07:34:53 AM ---As for the previous piece - Sweet Dreams, was it?

The style for that arrangement was derived from the original idea and my composing ability. No need to be jealous really, haha. --- Quote from: Sapz on April 05, 2018, 03:04:53 PM ---Just to say I enjoyed the arranges although I'm unfamiliar with the originals, and that I completely agree about the hi-hats.

The hi-hats are actually annoying me so much. As soon as I'm able to make good thumbnails I'm probably getting out of there tbh. Yeah I was quite close to forgetting my existence here. Blame it on being my last year of high school. Arrangement #4: LINK Been a while since I've finished one of these loose arrangements. This one is by far the most loose, although one particular phrase of the melody is identical to the original (in the middle, when the organ starts). No one would recognise it from just hearing it I don't think (also song choice is to blame, as I didn't exactly pick a "popular" touhou song). Also I don't know where I was going with this. It's got synth, but the genre leans towards ska, and there's a jazz organ and idk. I didn't give myself a specific genre to work with, which in the end was probably a bad idea, but eh whatever. |

Good god this privacy error stuff is really getting on my nerves. Arrangement #5: - Loose Touhou Arrangements #5: LINK I decided to attempt an arrangement with a specific rhythmic pattern in mind (it should be really obvious when you hear it). It resulted in something quite funky, I have to say. I did also mess around further with ensembles. I'm quite happy with how this one turned out. I may as well say that this particular idea of writing music based on a rhythmic pattern is influenced by a rhythm game series known as "Rhythm Heaven", which is great and you should all try it. Definitely not your ordinary rhythm game, and has great music. Obligatory "Grr... hi-hats..." comment. |

It's that time yet again. Arrangement #6: LINK DRUMKIT This time I have two versions of what is pretty much the same thing (one just has a drumkit beat and is slightly faster, with its existence being for personal reasons too complicated to explain). It's the second time I've dealt with an orchestral ensemble (the first being a composition of mine which went much better), but this use of it is greatly different to a more traditional orchestration. Dabbling into different ensembles is something I enjoy. The arrangement itself is of two pieces, one is a very straightforward arrangement, the other... not so much, though it's very, very recognisable anyway. hi-hat I'm going to very busy in the next few months (up until November 1, when I'm completely free), so I can't confirm if monthly uploads will still be a thing during then (unless I can just post some of my interpretation arrangements instead, because those could easily get me through those few months). |
