@shazman1984

I'm sorry, but the issue you're having is really bizarre.  It has to do with your FF7Music configuration settings most likely, but I wouldn't know what to change.  Maybe you'll receive more help if you posted something in the STICKY FF7Music thread.  I wish I could help you more.

Merry Christmas by the way! (if you celebrate it :-))

thanks for the effort shadowseer. truly appreciate it. ill play around with the settings, see what happens.

(although I'm Muslim, In all good spirit, Merry Christmas to you and your family as well) that goes for everyone else here as well.

Thank you :-D

Bad news (you may have noticed this): the FF7Music thread is growing pretty old.  I'm not sure if you'll receive any help by posting there.  Shame I'm not home right now; I'd be able to tell you my settings (which should eliminate the problem, since it's a problem I've never had).  Oh well, no point in wishing against reality :-(

OK here's the boss battle music I'm come up with. I'm pretty pleased with it.

So what's next? Improved battle music? Let me know?  :-D

Karac, its pretty good, but yer guitar has too much treble. Give it more bass for more depth. Also, certain passages need to be cleaned up, such as the little roll at the end of the opening riff. Work the balance a bit between keyboard and guitar, and overall just try to match it up with the original.

Well, here's my go at it... just ran the midi through garageband, did a lil volume adjustments here n there and gave it better soundin instruments

Surely Powerglove version of the Boss Theme is the ultimate one?

Powerglove - Omnishred (We're Gonna Need a Bigger Sword).mp3

My personal fav anyway.

Sup everybody, well i was recently doing the ficedula music mod for ff7, and i realized the original music quality is poor. now i know there's the advent children tracks, and oc remixes, techno remixes, and live performance versions etc. etc. etc. but they aren't enough to replace the whole soundtrack, plus all different style remixes together doesn't give the game a smooth experience. so i decided to remaster all 85 tracks!!! no funky remixes, just keeping the original orchestrated feel, but with much higher quality. I'm glad to report I'm about 25% complete. It'll take quite a while to finish though. I'll upload a demo soon.

****okay, here's a demo:  http://rapidshare.com/files/175804137/FFVII_Soundtrack_Remasterd_Demo.mp3

and yea, hell of alot of work. i want to compose music for games, so this is training for me i guess. send me some feed back, go easy, i lack a studio.

---Dec 23----So I wanted to have this finished by next month, but i don't think its gonna happen. (1)- im trying to maintain what social life i have left(dont wanna be a bachelor forever) . (2)- if i rush it, i wont be happy with the quality, which will go against the whole reason for doing this. but i am making a deadline. MARCH 1st, Ill have all 85 tracks for everyone to download. Ive never really contributed to anything like this, so im really passionate about it.

Hello Shazman1984,

First of all....good job on your remastered music, i really like your style :) shamefully, some samples come across as (dont get me wrong) a bit too synthetic

I started rearranging FINAL FANTASY VII OST when i first checked Ficedula's FF7Music back in 2005 or 2006.
Sadly i was too busy and didnt have the time nor money to spend on a project like that. So my high quality standards couldnt justify...:(

Now i do have the time and samples so in the last couple of weeks i already finished whole DISC 1 with FULL high quality Orchestral/Rock/Electronic sounds that are up to my standards.
Ill post some demos soon :D "Show dont tell"
Ill post an offcial topic on this project (or maybe we can work together and merge:)) when im finished with DISC 2

The only thing that keeps bugging me is the loop system :( maybe you can help me with that for a solution

Hope we can work together on this :D

haha lol, after 2 times, i remembered the URL so...didnt fool me :)

Anyway, how's going?
Im currently tweaking some tracks and im close finishing Disc 2, i really had some trouble with the best track on this CD: "J-E-N-O-V-A"
With all the stuff going on, it was really hard to master this track...especially with preventing clipping

Hey, shazman1984!  Are you still having trouble with the first time ob is supposed to play?  Just wondering if I still have the chance to help you (though I'm probably way too late now lol).

Now, I've replaced ob, but I haven't replaced oa.  When the game opens, I hear the original opening game music but then when it gets to Bombing Mission, I hear the file I've replaced it with (which is Dark Messenger from FFVII DoC btw).  That's what you want to happen, right?

My "Playback Options" are as follows:

"Loop custom files" is ticked (yes)
"Resuming" is set to none
"Mute midi on custom playback" is ticked
"Maximise midi on song not found" is ticked
"Emulate ramps" is ticked, but "delay stops" is not
"Obey stop" is ticked

I doubt this matters, but my "midi device" is set to Creative SoundFont Synthesizer

Although shamefully, I do have issues of my own with these settings.  You know that sound you're supposed to get when you're on the field and you encounter a random enemy?  The sound you get as soon as the battle music starts, while the screen is spiralling inwards?  Well, I don't hear that for some reason; I only hear the battle music.  Also, whenever tracks fade out, my replacement music files fade out really quickly and after they fade out, I faintly hear the original midi version playing for like, a half a second before that too fades out... it's kinda hard to describe it.

EDIT: I just listened to your version of J-E-N-O-V-A for the first time and dang, it's good!!  Very well done on that one!
