Artist Name: Audiomancer, Aka Eric
I think I submitted the wrong file for Tin Wyvern, my latest submission that is of this date in the judging process. I like how this one turned out quite a bit, so I am submitting this instead of asking to send in a different file for Tin Wyvern.
As noted above, this is a pretty straight forward arrangement. I am going for a bit of a synthwave sound, which inspired the title used for this remix. The middle section I added a noise filter sweep to imitate the wind sound you hear quite a bit throughout the game. I also automated a wet/dry control for a trance gate on the wind sound to add a little motion.
For synths, I used DAWjunkie's Leadoff, RazorPluck and Big Butter. I also used Hybrid Air3, Xpand2, and Kepler. Kepler is FL Studio's plugin version of Juno 6. I used DR-84 by Pepto Audio for the bass and snare drums, and the Power kit from the Musyng soundfont for the rest of the drums. I used MiniSynth, a simple stock plugin from FLS as well. I can't justify getting the "good synths" like Serum, etc...but we live in a time and age where you can get great free and cheap stuff for creating music. DAWjunkie stuff is cheap, and they have, iirc, free cutdown versions of their plugins. Vital is great example of a quality free synth. Many items you can get at greatly reduced price if you keep an eye out. I got Hybrid for about 5 dollars, I think.
I'm not sure if it will be agreed, but I think this might be the best sounding song I have done, production wise at least. Instead of sidechaining or using Peak Controller, I routed the non percussion instruments to a bus, and manually drew a "sidechain" volume automation for it. It seems cleaner than other submissions i have put forth. I worry about the overall volume being loud, but I've read that it's better to let streaming services just "turn it down" instead of having your track "turned up", and have the possibility of any service applying it's own compression or limiting. I was also worried that taking the volume down would lessen the punch I think I have going on here:)
The music I remix is all from games that I have played and loved throughout the years, especially when younger:) The Twisted Systerz remix I did, that theme I constantly played in my head while in boot camp for the Marine Corps. That is one of my all time favorite themes. Dragon Warrior 2 music brings back fond memories of my father and I progressing at the same rate throughout that game. When my dad would play, I would sit and watch him, while talking about random subjects. Final Fantasy 6, I played at one of my best friend's homes while I was in high school. I couldn't believe how fleshed out the game world and story was, and couldn't believe the music that could come out of a 16 bit console!
As always, thank you for the time and consideration taken ahead of time. Your feedback is something I look forward to, and I believe is the main reason I have improved over time:)
Respectfully and Semper Fidelis,
Eric, aka Audiomancer.

This is my take on Terra's theme (by Nobuo Uematsu) from Final Fantasy 6 Original below.
The arrangement is a pretty straight forward arrangement of the original. The last "coda" section, I took the notes from Celes' theme.
