A few missing instruments I'm noticing in this one. First is the trumpet at 0:21, 0:30, 0:37, 0:39 and 0:52. The horns are missing a couple of notes as well, between 0:41 and 0:47. I also think you should've kept the two tambourines, rather than replacing the third hit in the pattern with (what I think is) a sleigh bell. I thought it was actually missing all-together until I listen real close. In spite of all that, I like this. Lovely tone, overall. I especially like the bass piano notes being more pronounced in the intro.
The muted trumpet is there, but it's _really_ low volume as I found it shrill and unpleasant to listen to in the end, but didn't have the heart to delete it completely... I'm pretty sure the OST version has a sleigh bell as well (hard panned to the left), that's what it sounded like to me at least. I think the pattern is tambourine-bell-tambourine. Well noticed again in the horns; as usual I didn't realize there is anything missing :) This track in general was pretty hard to get the balance right in; Shimomura's PS2 compositions are really dense with lots of instruments and low/mid frequencies, glad I didn't completely screw it up :)
@@SipiOvaska When you say muted trumpet, do you mean the instrument that doubles the melody the first go around? Because I think that's something else. (though I'm unsure what) All other trumpet notes are open. You're right on a bell also being used in the original - I thought the first and last hits were the tamb muted, and the second open. lol. Still, the bell is real quiet in your rendition. I'd also suggest panning it a little harder BtW, did you see the Discord invite I dropped on the last comment?
@@NailikNoteworks Right, I meant the instrument doubling the melody, panned to the left at 0:11. You're correct -- my version is completely missing the normal trumpet from the original, no idea how I missed it :)
Brings back memories!
A chain of memories you could say.
Dude, i really have to play the remastereds again on pc.
