After the intro - which I kept almost entirely unchanged - the first time I did was re-work the drum line, as 14 bars of uninterrupted kick drum trashing isn't very interesting. But doing so presented a issue, in that said uninterrupted trashing served to mask the fact that the guitars switch back and forth between being on-beat and ahead, which I found extremely distracting exposed. To address this, I opted to keep them on-beat, but this presented a second issue in that this moved the high chords of the riff behind the vocal. I spent a long while puzzling on how to address this, coming up with several patterns before ultimately settling on having a second chord a bit lower than the accent ones before them.
After this, things were a lot more straight-forward. A couple of things here and there were revised along the way, but nothing major. The next thing I spent a lot of time on was adjusting phonemes on the vocals so things aren't over-enunciated, or get lost in the mix. Pretty tedious work, but it's better done than left unchanged. :p
Time spent working on the track: 38 hours.

This is exactly what I wanted from this song. The original was good, but the vibe switching from somber to badass to upbeat back to badass for a moment and then upbeat for the rest of the song just ruined it for me. Now its just somber at the start and then badass the rest of the way. This is easily the superior version of the song.
I had been anticipating this version since back around when you were still doing the volume one tracks, so when I got home from work at midnight, I instantly knew what I was doing first.
Amazing work. 10/10
This made my day. Thank you. 😊
@@NailikNoteworks I always like your songs and you are the only person as far as I know who made a cover for (rwby jpde) dreams of jade so thank you for that. I would like to make the request to please make a orchestral metal remix cover of rwby ironwoods song hero. Have a good day
@@timothyekstrom9271Thank you.
I don't take requests, but I'll definitely do Hero eventually. :)
Totally one of the most underrated composers on youtube, this sounds AMAZING
This and Hero are my favorite RWBY songs and I look forward to the day you cover the latter 😊
I'm mostly going in order with these, and also don't exclusively do RWBY stuff, so it'll take a while before I get to Hero. But you can be sure I _will_ get to it. :D
Also, if you wanna help the channel out, spread the music around, the more the better.. Word of mouth really helps.
This is fantastic! This song and 'Nevermore' are tied for my favorite credits songs in the series!
It's Divide for me, but this one comes in second. Though perhaps tied with Friend.
Amazing cover!
Yang is one of my favorite characters, and RWBY is one of my favorite series.
Keep up the great work!
Outstanding job as always!
I'm still listening to these every now and then just don't normally comment much since I just listen to these in my playlists 💀
Still glad to hear you enjoy them. :D
I love these so much. When listening to the originals, I always wish there were more covers of them. And here you are, knocking it out of the park with every video! This is probably my 3rd time listening to this, and the sub notification's set to all
Dangerously based. 😎
you are so underrated omg this is AWESOME
This is awesome. Fandom going harder than the actual show at this point. Keep up the good work.
Best in the rwby soundtrack 🎉🎉🎉
Nice
