RWBY: For Every Life - Orchestral Metal Remix

Transcribing this one took me a bit, especially figuring out what the harmonies in the chorus and second pre-chorus were doing.
Once everything was transcribed came coming up with stuff to actually do with it. One of the first things I did was mess around with the voice leading in the chorus, changing things around on back the lead and backing vocals. Originally, I had it so in all 3 choruses, but later decided to just use it on the second.
Orchestration-wise, I early on decided to leave out low brass on this one, as well as additional percussion for the most part. The rest went through a couple of revisions as I experimented to see what worked.
Also going through a handful of changes was the solo. I decided early on I wanted to use a whammo pedal, though was undecided on the question of how and where. Though the effect has become something of a Nailik staple, I also applied a pitch shifter more than usual here to make things sound gnarlier. Felt it fit the vibe.
Time spent working on the track: 41 hours.

A symphonic metal cover of the Giganto boss fight theme. This one was made part in celebration of the Sonic 3 movie releasing, and part because I've been asked to do Sonic music a couple of times. So what better time than now to answer that. Luckily for me, I didn't have to transcribe it from scratch, as there was a pretty good reference available up to the end of chorus 1.

The opening theme to the RWBY x Transformers crossover web animation. My second wholly original opening theme!

Awesome work!
Another banger! 🎶
Hell yeah, been waiting for this masterpiece
HAPPY ̶H̶A̶P̶P̶Y̶?̶ EVER ̶N̶E̶V̶E̶R̶ AFTER ̶A̶G̶A̶I̶N̶
SWEEET!!!!
I’ve been waiting for this one. Beautifully done, thank you!
Happy it was worth the wait. :D
Cool, this and Everstrong are my favorite ost of the game
I recently got my family to start watching RWBY. The kids enjoy the animation, but the music is what keeps them excited for the next episode. Remixes like this take it all up a notch!
That's epic. Always cool to have new people joining the fandom 😎 Also, if you like these, check out the playlist. I'm going through almost the entire catalogue of RWBY vocal tracks. ;D
I could've sworn that was supposed to be the Theme of Team BRIR.
Nope. I just double-checked, and it is indeed the final boss theme. :D ua-cam.com/video/y6Ka6QG3Wbg/v-deo.htmlsi=vcjARWTeMKuRvPYv&t=165
HOLY SHIT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FIRE
Those Guitar Riffs are Kristopher Carter level of Awesome.
Hero is one of my Favorite Songs in RWBY and you just made it even better.
Thank you very much! :D
Great stuff my man 🎉🔥 Love the orchestral take on it
Pyrrha's mother told Jaune she understood responsibility to try and that makes her a huntress She chose Beacon because it's her choice She 's surrounded with her partner and love interest Jaune and her teammates Nora and Ren And friends Team RWBY
This is beautiful. I'm glad people are still making videos 2 do with this gams and im glad u put the lyrics there. Now i know what they are saying in the song. Thank u
And thank you for leaving a comment. Glad you enjoyed the song. :D
Great cover! Very clear with your vocals and it is easy on the ears, keep it up!
<3
Aye this is the beat song ever!!! 💯
Awesome cover! 🌟 My only critique is that the vocals could've been louder in comparison to the instrumentals. Fire guitar solo! 🔥 🎸 🤩
Excellent!
Celebrating Sonic 3 and you didn't do All Hail Shadow? Guess we know what you need to do next.
Hey, if this does well, who knows. ;)
This might be the best remix of this song I've heard so far, well done brother
Given there's quite a lot of them out there, that's high praise. Thanks. :D
Your voice is amazing
A compliment to my programming chops. 'cause this is a synth, not a real singer. Either way, thanks. :D
@@NailikNoteworks well also I love your metal guitar playing as well
@@RayaChan22 Heheh. The guitars are MIDI too. Everything is. I can't play any physical instruments, but I'm pretty good at emulating it, and getting better with every track. (Also just for the record. None of this is gen-AI. I don't touch that shit. :P )
@@NailikNoteworks im just trying to compliment 😊 I love making people's day's better 💕☺️
@@RayaChan22 It's very much appreciated, don't misunderstand. 😄 Thank you.
原曲以上の手に汗握る緊張感
So ... Two things I've enjoyed in a new project... Yes please
Pardon? I'm not sure what you mean.
@NailikNoteworks Hero is one of my top 10 RWBY songs, and when I listen to random music orchestral metal is one of my major favs
@@Iejir_Isk Ah, I get you. Well, happy to have delivered. :D
It’s so beautiful
Thank you very much. ☺
Common Nailik banger!
Thank you. :D
Beautiful, keep it up 💯👍❤️🔥
You know I will. ;D Happy to have you along for the ride!
The single quality that is common across every living creature on this planet... is fear. It’s funny then, that as common as fear is... we so easily underestimate its power. Fear of growing close to someone, a subsequent fear of loss, fear of failure. And as more people depend on you, those fears can take on greater power. But fear itself isn’t worthy of concern, it is who we become while in its clutches. Will you be proud of that person? Will you forgive them? Will you understand why they felt the need to do the things they did? Will you even recognize them? Or will the person staring back at you be the very thing you should have feared from the start? I suppose we all find out... sooner or later Still love this quote cause of how real it is
I actually love Casey Lee's music! I just got a guitar earlier this week and one of the first big songs I want to try and learn is this, very inspiring❤ (You should give me tips😭)
Happy to hear! Good luck on your journey! :D As for tips. Uhh... I got nothing. xD I don't actually play any instruments - this is all MIDI.
@@NailikNoteworks Oh... IT'S OKAY LOL😭
Beautiful work!
Thank you. 😊
Absolutely love this song, excellent work!
Thank you. :D It's a great song, Casey did well composing it. The part in-between the first chorus and 2nd verse is my favourite.
💜
This song goes hard 🔥
I know nothing about JPDE but i love this song
If you like VNs, give the game a look. They're free, and the remaster (Refrain) just dropped today. ;D
This is my favorite song! thank you for making a rock version.
Jpde is such a masterpiece. Love your remix
Even included the buildup? Yet another Nalik banger It might just be me, but the vocals are somewhat quiet in relation to the instrumental, it's hard to hear the lyrics
Thank you. :D This is one of those ones that's just not the same without the build-up. As for the mixing, you might be right. You're not the first to say. I felt the vocals were mixed kinda loudly in my previous work, so I tried something different here. But I'll go back to the old levels going forward. lol
How does this have so few likes? This is abgreat arrangement
My stuff tends to not reach new audiences after a bit, so the view-like ratio is because the former comes from a small handful of people that give it repeat listens. Either way, thank you. Glad you like it. :)
Very nice work, Nail. Sounds great. I loved the arrival of the electric guitar at 1:03. It kicks ass. I also loved the interlude at 2:40! It's great. And also the guitar playing from 3:45. It's typical of prog rock and prog metal, and it's really cool! Well done :)
Heh, old as this is, this track really isn't up to my standards any more. There's a lot that could be done better. Also, hey there! Long time no see. :D
A Great song from the best Volume in the Series
Absolutely incredible! Always a banger when you make a video.
D'aww, thank you. ☺ Really nice to hear. :)
One of my faves from that volume.
For me, top place of the V7 ones are a toss-up between Hero and Fear.
Nice as always!!!
Thank you! :D
I'm not the only one who can't help but think of Aerosmith when listening to this, am I.
I don't think I ever really listened to a Aerosmith song, so I couldn't say. It _does_ however remind me of Play With Me, by Extreme.
@@NailikNoteworks I haven't heard of them but I'll check them out.
Of course UA-cam didn't send me the notification when this went live this would have been perfect when I was getting out candy on Halloween but instead I just had to use normal Rwby music
That's unfortunate. 😅 Next year then!
9:57 I will never not tear up at this.
"I lost? ME?!"
Sorry, correction, it sounds like a mix between the original soundtrack and Globus... specifically Diem Ex Dei at the end!
Sounds like a mix of trailerhead and CLW, not bad!
