struggling to get DarkDragons theme to sound okay now ... its a VERY strange composition ....

that .. and WotLK has been released ... so im playign that almost 24/7

this project is NOT abandonned !!! watch this space =]

well its done, finally, really messed around with some stuff, tried many things, in the end i made an improv riff backing, heavily over-driven (and loud) bass lines, with several lead guitars ... its a bit of a mess, but meh it works ... kinda

having tried and failed miserably at Darksols theme, i have located my problem, the backing melody is just played too fast. Im not good enuff on guitar to mimic it. As such, i will have to improvise the backing melody, which may compromise the authenticity and originality of the track.

Also, unlike the other tracks, there are not 1, not 2, not 3, but four lead channels (or lead guitars if u will) which all overlap to produce the end result. whilst I can record these individually, when overlapping that many lead guitars, it just sounds nasty. may have to drop some of the channels, or, worse still, record all lead guitar tracks from a digital synthesiser - which would clear up the nastyness in teh mix .. but wont sound particularly rock guitar-like.

running out of ideas ....

=[

update -

Finished track 14.  Ive had a little look into Darksols theme, and tried a few different approaches ... its almost impossible to replicate ... so ive hit a large stone in the road ... not sure how to proceed from here ;S will keep u all updated.

yea newzealand story was an awesome game, with some kick ass tunes =]

okay .. the battle theme is done.

i must stress that this is my favourite tune from the entire SF1 soundtrack ... and imo nothing can beat the original.  with that in mind, i set out to do the best i bloody could .... came no where near the awesomeness of the original but meh ... after approx 20 hours of fanny around with different styles and tunes and methods ... ive come up with a version that im gonna call a final version - yes theres plenty of room for improvement - im just sick of the song right now

so here it is
