Love this track I got this on launch for my birthday as a kid and the soundtrack is on r of my favs great stuff

Cheers! I'm pretty sure I was still playing the original NES when SCIV came out, definitely was a real mindblow when I finally got my hands on an SNES, and then even later when I started going back and playing the classics that were out early in the SNES life cycle. SCIV is still a masterpiece imho!

I also dig the guitar, and the sound overall sounds cool imho. I like the riffs around 2:04 especially. I never got that into Katatonia, but they have an interesting sound for sure. I remember liking 'my twin' way back when. edit: I'm a huge fan of Opeth (their softer stuff is just amazing imho); that's a pretty cool factoid about the vocals.
@thesosomusician2 күн бұрын
Katatonia is an interesting band, they really evolved over their career. The record this track is from, Brave Murder Day, almost sounds like an ambient version of Morningrise by Opeth. Check out the song Atrium from their newest record, I'm not even quite sure how to describe it, it has things in common with mellower Opeth and Porcupine Tree, but it's kind of it's own thing. Really cool band!
@dahunlee_acousticguitar_covers2 күн бұрын
@@thesosomusician will do, thanks for the recommendation :) edit: also for some reason the singer's voice made me think of another band 'Soen', who are kind of like a mix between Opeth and Tool, sort of. I think they even had (have?) a drummer that used to be in Opeth, but I could be wrong on that. If you haven't heard of them (I don't think they were very famous), their songs 'Lotus', 'Last light' and 'Lucidity' are pretty cool (imho).
@thesosomusician2 күн бұрын
Yes, Soen is pretty cool, especially that first record! Martin Lopez from Opeth is, I think, the founder of that project. Right before the pandemic I believe they put out a record that the 1st single was a bit nu-metally sounding, wasn't quite my cup of tea, but early on quite cool!

Cheers! Wayback on the vgmusic archive, there used to be a midi that had the idea of combining these three tunes, that was definitely the influence on this one! Great OST for sure, I think in general the game has a bad rap for not being created by Kojima, but overall it's pretty top notch.

Long time no see. It's been quite a hot minute since we've last commented to each other. 4 years ago. I've used Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio. Then purchased Mixcraft 10 Pro Studio. THEN, Upgraded to the free Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio update. I've gotten used to Mixcraft over time. From 2020 to 2024, And now. 4 years has passed. I've now made my decision that it was time to pass the torch & move to a new DAW. That being Cubase 13. My gameplan is that i'll try out the free 60 day (2 month) trial of Cubase 13 Pro. So that i'll get use to the workflow, Then i'll purchase the Elements version to start off. Then later down the pipeline. I'll upgrade to either the Artist version or the Pro version, Since the Artist edition has unlimited tracks & some other goodies that the Elements version lacks. It was a hard fought decision & also wanted to use a 2nd DAW alongside Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio. First, I was originally going chose these other Digital Audio Workstations: Reaper, Studio One, Cakewalk, Waveform 13 Free & SoundBridge. Those were great choices. But felt Cubase was the way to go. So from now on, Cubase 13 will be my main primary DAW.
@thesosomusician28 күн бұрын
Sounds great! One of my friend's who got into mixing the past few years has been going back and forth between Cubase and Logic. He had also tried Studio One and Reaper and felt neither really clicked well with him. I'm still running Reaper, for the workflow I tend to follow mixing, I don't have any complaints. The only other DAW I worked with was ProTools which I felt had too high of a learning curve on learning engineering and mixing at the same time. At the end of the day, whichever DAW does what you need it to do without it getting in the way is the right DAW!
