FINAL FANTASY VII OST (Remastered Edition) ~by Final FanTim~

[MOREloss666]

Hello, im new to this forum. Im found this whole thing by finding the music on demonoid. I found it very good and interesting. Im a big nobuo uematsu fan and i liked what you did with the music. What i wanted to know is if you could give a list on all the things you used to make the music so i can give it a shot with remastereing some of my favorite songs that are in MIDI format.

Are EWQL Symphonic Orchestra GOLD and EWQL Colossus, Cubase, and Native Instruments Komplete 5 the only thing needed to do what you did to those songs or are there any other software that was used. I really want to do this right.

Hi,
Those are the main VST i use but then with SONAR instead of Cubase (which is a good DAW aswell) and i can assure you, thats the only thing you need for a complete orchestra, rock and dance/techno kind of music. Although im using RealGuitar and RealStrat with GuitarRig 3 for a better guitar sound than EWQL can offer with Colossus or NI with Komplete 5
You should also consider a good MIDI Controller when you want to make your own music (im saving money for it )

Last but not least, it will require patience and a good ear
Im still learning new things and im working with DAW's like Cubase and SONAR for 2 years now

alright cool, thanks. rest a sure ill be back to show case what i did and have people hear it. also maybe get some help and constructive opinions.

I had to register just to thank you for this rearragement. It's plain awesome, even the battle theme turned out so great i like it better than the original. overall i really enjoy playing through ff7 again just because of your work.

It took a while to realise that this is a fan work and not an official release!

Now i just have to figure out how to set loop points in wav files and manage ff7music to recognize it for a seamless experience. Any ideas or hint at another file format? - Notice i will only do that for me and respect your desicion to release this as a listening experience rather than a game mod.

cheers 

[seifertemp]

Some of the music sounds better in places and some sounds rather offish.

certain instruments are annoying like in "hurry"

Overall it is a real good job and I will be keeping some of them.

Hey finalfantim, first, I want to thank you for spending your time, remaking ff7 ost. I notice your mp3s are without cover. So I have made one for myself, and to share with you and anyone viewing this thread.

Just a simple cover (Fan of Tifa), touch up here and there. 600x600. Hope you guys like it!
I will place this cover at my blog as well. Thanks again.

[Harruzame]

Hey man if ya serious about making covers...why not make separate ones for each disk? as FinalFanTim did with the remakes...So why not provide for each "disc" right?


Let's say put all the leading ladies in the cover...Like The Tifa you have just made back to back with Cloud and next Aeris/th Back to Back with Barret..

and Yuffie back to back with Cid or Vincent...And Make the Final cover with smiling RED XIII and Caith Sith for a surprise package hehehe...

Just a suggestion though...Hope you'll listen.

[The Favs]

I already took care of the cover and discs. I made a couple and finalfantim chose the one he wanted. You can check it out here:

They also have the links to their respective discs.

Very well done!

[Rion]

Thanks Fav! Harruzame should be happy now. I will continue to use the cover I made though. Can't stop looking at Tifa's waist if you know what I mean. 

[Harruzame]

ORA! ORA!! ORAAHHHH!!!....MITE MITE...Waist-to-desu..


Heh..Just foolin around...That is....AwEsOmE man..  :lol:Now if I have a pretty printer to see these covers in real time..hmm... heheh Thanks a bunch Rion-san..Keep it Rollin!

[Harruzame]

ADD: And also to The FAV....you're the GOD of FFVII OST REMASTERED covers!!!!!...One question...Do you have a back cover to complete the set?...

[sl1982]

I wonder if there is any way we could remix these into a surround sound type of format. That would be awesome

[titeguy3]

That's entirely doable. The only question is 5.1 or 7.1.

[sl1982]

Well any decent reciever can matrix 5.1 into 7.1. And spdif can only handle 5.1 max. So unless everyone is using hdmi connections or have crazy speaker setups for their computers i think 5.1 would be best.

ADD: And also to The FAV....you're the GOD of FFVII OST REMASTERED covers!!!!!...One question...Do you have a back cover to complete the set?...

Well, I thought about it, but there are so many tracks that putting them on the back would be useless, as they would be impossible to read. But if ya'll want it, I could give it a go.

[The Favs]

Add: To Harruzame... Thanks for the compliment.

[MOREloss666]

hey tim have you heard the final fantasy dissidia ost. that thing is awsome. in that ost they have a lot of past final fantasy songs that were "updated." its interesting, you should check it out if you havent already.

www.gamemp3s.net they have it in that website in torrent form if you cant find a good rip.

PEACE.

Well...Putting the whole track on a single cover would be pretty ...you know..hmm.loss for words there..But ya get what I mean right?

Let's say put the Disc 1 track on the back with the pic of Tifa there ( The First cover not the CD cover), Then put disc 2 tracks on Clouds Cover pic and so on...

Or have ya seen some of the Beatles Re-release albums?..I mean the 4 pc Cd set that has multiple covers?...I mean this is Final Fantasy VII where talking about right?..That should do the trick and since where on cover pics..why not place the rest of the gang..Some scenes maybe nice..( a Lucky 7 bar rendition with Cloud and Tifa talking in the foreground, Aerith's church with Cloud and Aerith taking care of the Flower bed,  Sephiroth's One-Winged Angel visual version, How about 12 Knights Kneel before Cloud as their 13th King of some sort..heheh)

The possibilities are endless though..Hope ya like my suggestions though... Ganbare!!! Yosh!>>>>>>IKOU!

Hey Harruzame, very cool sugestions you have there. Maybe you can give it try at making them, just for the fun of making it yourself. Then post them here to share with others. Looking forward to your inputs of interesting covers. Thanks!

Uh... I'm having a hard time picturing this. I know, it's just me with this problem. Could you maybe show me an example of it? (And what pic is there of 12 knights in front of Cloud? Did I miss something?)

[Kudistos Megistos]

I think they might be hypothetical suggestions rather than examples of real images that you could use on the cover. I might be wrong, however...

[Ruisu_VII]

This is a Masterpiece!

[Harruzame]

@Sir Kudistos Megistos

You're quite right there...I was suggesting some Fan-based fantasy Ideas of mine ( especially the 12 Knights thing...But its kinda cool isn't it?..Seeing as the 12 Knights Materia  are not that easy to acquire..So Cloud taking over as their owner becomes the king who the knights kneel to..that was lengthy..)

@The Fav

Thanks for appreciating my ideas..But as for the real pics..I mean If you have the superb skills as an artist (more probably a GOD at one!) You might come up with ways to make this come true..I mean besides your genius There are other fans who might come up with something to materialize this "images" to life.. I hope I can find them though..Or maybe you know someone already? That will be awesome!!!!!..I'll try to render some but I'm not that good of an artist ( Don't even know how to tackle Photoshop? ..I know its humiliating!?..Sue me)


I hope this reaches other aspiring Cover artists who can help..I mean it cannot be done by one man alone right?...

Yosh!!! Ganbare!!!!

[Timu Sumisu]

Final fan tim, Not sure if your still kicking about, but I figure I'd give a critique of any peices that need some tweaks

opening : around :29, the wood block echo needs to be more pronounced

Hurry!: Something a little less high pitched for the tick tock

Turk's theme: You have something of a cymbal at the beginning, I beleive its supposed to be a maraka or some shaken percussion

Still more fighting : Needs a different guitar, Sorry I can't be of more help there :/

That's all i spotted on a quick run through disc 1, I may put more up, might now, I'm not sure if you're even up for fixing any of yer tracks further.

-this is not to demean your work, just constructive criticism, I think all the tracks you've made are wonderful!
