    I'm overwhelmed by the incredible response to this orchestration - thank you everyone for checking it out, sharing it and for all the great feedback. I'll release it on other media platforms next week after I've made some small adjustments to the mix. Tifa's Theme is coming up next, and I hope to release it before the end of the week!

      PapaWill I use a wide range of orchestral sample libraries and record all parts with a midi keyboard or write the notes in. I ripped the audio from the trailer and recorded over it to try and get it as close as possible. If you want to see how it’s done, check out videos by Daniel James - he does these great walkthroughs and streams while trying out new sample libraries!

    What I really appreciate about this is that even though you've orchestrated it, all the different tracks and lines in it still retain the original character of what they had in the uh, original. Far too often I feel as if orchestrated takes on tracks assign the completely wrong instrument to a certain part and it feels "off" but this feels like it has captured the soul of the original spot on while still giving it the depth of an orchestra epic.

  • @WhatWillYouFind
    @WhatWillYouFind 4 роки тому +3

    I love the key/chord transition during the first 30 seconds of the song. The sound piques ones curiosity and leads into a very soulful interpretation which made the original so good. I am also comparing your piece to the remastering done by Nobuo Uematsu for the Remake, so please don't take my criticism too harshly because I know that would be an unfair comparison overall. There are a few things I would like to criticize:
    The use of horns was done perfectly, the trumpet and french horn sounds used perfectly encapsulated the energy of the original. This inspiration has the exact essence of the original, without any added emotional inflection [or] reflection which a live orchestral revision contributes to the mood of the song. I praise this, I hope your song gets on the remake and you should definitely try to get someone at Square to hear your work.
    However, there is an absence of [Bass Strings] and the lacks pounding of [Drums] heard from the intro which added to our listening sound stage and lacks that reverb slightly marred the impression of the work. " I do enjoy bass but I am not a bass head and I generally prefer a neutral balanced sound from most of my own music with a few exceptions. This song was listened to on my 1000w surround system, akg earphones, sony and koss headphones, and on my laptop speakers."
    The emphasis on horns can be too much, extended listening causes fatigue. "Which ironically wouldn't happen if it was in a game because many battles don't last long enough for the song to complete." The remaster has a wider use of instruments which I cant dock you for, but there it almost eliminates listening fatigue. There could have been a tweak to the formatting where there was more of an emphasis on horns and then another section focus more of stringed instruments? There are elements of growth as the emphasis changes within the battle that is going on during the track and I mean this literally as that is the motif of the song.
    The remaster instills a sense of fear, uncertainty, dread. It immediately puts you in that theoretical battle. There a few minor instruments in the remaster which stand out; a few minute' instances where I hear cymbals, a triangle, and clear inclusion of a xylophone which added to the chaos and inhibited listening fatigue due to the introduction of new elements throughout.
    Your version of this classic does something different. The fading into the original theme by adding your introduction makes it stand out among many of the versions I've heard over the years who have failed to execute it properly. There is a build up of intensity and uncertainty and then relief as that transition happens which made me shed a tear, it was magical. The remaster too has a sense of wailing as the violins, horns, and section transitions culminate into a finality by the end. Your version does so much to retain the same level of clarity and respect to the original, I'd even say it is EQUAL to it. It has all of the elements which made the original great. I'd listen to your song as the main battle track with the remaster being used for a cinematic or boss fight. In fact, this can be done with modding, maybe I will try it out one day! :D
    This is truly an amazing version, there are only minor criticism I could find with the song which doesn't make me feel inclined to turn it off which so many other versions readily do at the drop of a hat. I am surprised you aren't already working at Square or for another big production company!
    Is there any place to buy a FLAC or WAV lossless copy of your song, none of the current distributors offer it?
    Thank you for making this version, criticisms aside and when being compared to the much larger pockets Square has with their remaster this is a masterpiece. I pounded the like and subscribe button, you are a boss!

    I fully endorse this version (arrogant, aren't I? - but I hope you get what I mean). If I may offer a small suggestion, which I admit to be possibly skewed by nostalgia, in that it may need an extra bit of 'oomph' here and there, just to make it not just an awesomely well-made song, but also to give that sensation that in a battle scene, and it can go both ways. I cannot fault what you've made here, I absolutely enjoyed it all.

    OMG - yes yes yes! I brought your album for the FF7 and thanks to the awesome FF7 Remake, I am in love with your interpretation once again with this version of "Those Who Fight"! It has the same thump and beat as the original but you added little touches here and there and it sounds absolutely awesome. I want this one in my iPod!! Makes for a great cinematic piece fit for a film.

  • @britpoint7022
    @britpoint7022 5 років тому

    I keep coming back to listen to this. I remember listening to your arrangement of 'Those Who Fight' 4 years ago, and thought it was a really impressive effort, but it's clear to see you've come leaps and bounds since then. Previously I felt that the only orchestral arrangement of the battle theme that had ever really captured the spirit of the original was Kazuhiko Toyama in the 'Fulfilled Desire' medley at the end of Crisis Core. But I think this tops even that.

  • @sgyniguez
    @sgyniguez 5 років тому +3

    I've heard other man-made versions of this theme song, and they're great. But what I really like about this one is that it captures the same style and feel of the original battle theme. Listen to this one, and then the original one. You'll see what I mean.

      Dustin Gonzalez I totally agree! Even the instrumental choices and mixing on his versions are so amazing! It’s hard to believe it isn’t a real orchestra. I actually prefer these to the real orchestrated versions. Someone needs to hire this guy for the next game.
