2 weeks, 17 tracks in total, and all I need to do now is re-level the master volume on everything, relative to one another.

Each track was literally put together completely independant from one another, save for shared soundsets and all being on the same project file, so I'm going to be working this upcoming week to level everything so it's not "quiet here, ear-rape there".

Also played through Sweet Home again, just for the hell of it, and I put a lot of tracks together based on that experience.

For example, the "Encounter with Mamiya" theme is shortened significantly in this, mainly because, well... When it first plays in-game, the most I heard of it was the first theme and variation on the A section of the song, and there's a forced teleport before it even really went into the B section. That, and the actual "Final Battle" theme sounds rather boring and repetitive without the lead-in provided by the "Encounter with Mamiya" theme.

So tl;dr expect a couple songs popping in more than once, a few leitmotifs that weren't in the originals, some amount of arranging, and possibly even remixing of some tracks.

Side note: I need a new piano soundset. The one I have is annoying. It's high-quality and it really is a rather awesome set of Steinway piano recordings, but... the hight notes. A lot of hammer noises and a lot of hissing noises there. Tried to get rid of it without dulling the notes, and nothing works.

Also need to get a nicer set of pizzicato and non-pizzicato string soundsets. The ones I have are decent, but either they sound crap at high notes, are mis-timed on low notes, or slightly out of tune, and I don't have the patience to compensate for some of these issues.

Anyone have any suggestions for alternative plugins/soundfonts/sample libraries/etc?

Back on topic though. I'm thinking that once things are leveled, I'm going to gradually release each track one at a time, so it's not a solid upload dump, just to taunt whoever gives a shit about this stuff. Or I'll just dump it all on at once. I don't know, I'll figure it out next Friday I guess.
