> Well - this turned out great, in my opinion. I'm fully content with it.
> I've spent ages going through it, fine tuning all the little things I
> could find, and now I think it's pretty much perfected.
>
> Not everyone's going to like this as much as I do, so it's doubtful that
> it will actually *win*, but hopefully it will raise a few eyebrows. I hope
> at the very least that Detra will not regret selecting me to represent the
> Music Box.
>
>
> In case you don't realise, the two tunes present in this mix are "Balamb
> Garden" and "Find your Way" (plays in the Fire Cavern, the Tomb of the
> Unknown King, and most other temples and caves).
>
>
> So, how did I come to make this tune? Right from the start, I had decided
> that I would make either a really ambient/beautiful tune, or a really
> powerful one. A friend mentioned that an ambient mix would probably be
> more impressive than a powerful one, and after some consideration I
> agreed.
>
> It didn't take me long to decide to do FF8, as it hadn't had many mixes
> done yet, and I wanted to prove to people that the FF8 music was good
> (it's unfairly shunned as being a crap FF soundtrack). I hope I succeeded.
>
> As soon as I chose FF8, I knew I'd be doing Balamb Garden in some form
> or another. My first idea included doing Balamb Garden, followed by
> Blue Fields (the overworld theme) and finishing up with Find your Way.
> I figured doing Blue Fields would be both challenging and fun, because I'd
> be converting a 3/4 tune to a 4/4 timing. That idea died pretty fast.
>
> I tracked the Balamb Garden part anyway, and when I got to the ending of
> that section, I considered how to continue. One idea that I convinced
> myself to run with was continuing the tune into a variation of either Ami
> or Where I Belong (two similar themes). I was all set to do this, when
> suddenly I put in the first few notes of Find your Way.
>
> And it sounded good, so I did the whole section. After tracking most of
> this section, I was still under the impression that I was going to do a
> third section, but I realised that the tune had gone over the five minute
> mark (the unwritten UE time limit) about halfway through the Find your Way
> section, and that it was much easier to put an ending to the Find your Way
> section than to make it turn into another tune. The tune seemed complete
> enough anyway.
>
> Then, after tracking the whole thing, I went through the laborious task of
> adding in panning and stereo. I really hope you appreciate all of the
> panning detail I put in, because it took absolutely ages, and was very
> tedious. I think it was worth it, though.
>
>
> Samples, now. Most of them are by me, as you can see in the instrument
> list. As you can also see, some are not.
>
> Instrument 02, the Harp, is from an XM by Disturbed called TOWN2.XM. I
> doubt he sampled it though, so I don't know who to credit.
>
> Instrument 06, the Reversed Hihat, was recorded by TSSF, but I modified
> and reversed it. Credit him if you use it.
>
> Instrument 08, the Synth Bass, is one of my random samples from my old
> set, and I have no idea where it came from.
>
> Instrument 12, the Snare Drum-with-attached-"achicka" was taken from
> altima and dragoon-kun(now skyline)'s FF3j acoustic/symphonic mix. I
> don't know if either of them made it, but there's the source.
>
> Instrument 14, the Low Strings is another random sample that just
> appeared one day. I don't remember where I got it.
>
> Instrument 15, the Low Piano, was taken from Necros' Orchard Street. I
> don't know if he made it, but he probably did. Incidentally, if you've
> also read the text file included in this IT, you'll see that I said "the
> only Necros tune that I actually like" when referring to Orchard Street.
> Well, I've been turned around. I now know he does more than just crap
> demo/cheese tunes. I particularly like River Boat, Mechanism 8, and his
> Paranoid Android mix. Dirty Walk, Dreaming in Green and Amber Poison are
> also very good. So why is it that only his crap demo/cheese tunes are
> available on TiS? They ruined him for me (at least temporarily).
>
> Instrument 16, the Electrical Synth, is that brilliant sample that has
> snuck its way into just about all of my recent tunes. I first got it in a
> #traxinspace OHC sample pack (the compo in which I entered The Mars
> Face), so I don't know of its true origin. Thanks, whoever you are.
>
> If you use any of my samples, be sure to credit me. I'd also appreciate
> hearing any tunes that are made using them, but that's not a requirement
> of your using them.
>
> Generally, they were recorded from one of a few Korg or Proteus sound
> banks. Now I know I just recorded the samples straight from them, but I
> had to spend ages recording them, tuning them, looping them, keeping the
> filesize down, etc. I think that warrants me being credited for them. So
> do so.
>
>
> Greets: SHattY - You're back on the net, so quickly, throw together an
> entry! Even just for the sake of entering. You'd be
> kicking yourself if you missed out on this compo.
>
> Detrafilia - I'd like to thank you for selecting me to
> represent the Music Box. I hope I have done the
> Box justice. I also can't thank you enough for
> starting this compo in the first place. I envisage
> months of gradually downloading all the entries...
> Man, in a way it makes me want to get a low score.
> That would mean there'd be more tunes for me
> to listen to that are better than this.
>
> Khadgar - I'm sure you can survive without me. I'd like to keep
> helping you with Dark Phantasy, but...Balk Hammerim?!
> Come on! That type of name belongs exclusively in
> Terry Pratchett books in this day and age! Oh well.
>
> Megan Crewe - I'll get something done for you soon! New
> obstacle now, though: my mouse is broken. My
> punishment for trying to fix it with violence.
> Seriously, the left mouse button was playing up,
> and because the mouse is glued shut, I decided my
> best bet was to beat it frantically against the
> corner of my desk. Didn't work. Maybe God just
> doesn't want me to do music for you...that would
> mean he also doesn't want me to complete the
> tracked part of my live UE entry as well...and
> that song for Alex's friend...or maybe he (God)
> just wants me to learn Impulse Tracker...
