Orchestral Cover - Final Fantasy IX Battle Theme

Hi everyone!
I'm OC/DC, I do orchestral covers frequently on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbw1FHMV2mllawrbPUAzIDw
After one of my covers was used by videogamedunkey, one of his fans suggested me to put my work here, so here I am!


Enjoy!

I was sent here by the thread @davithetankman posted in the audio forums, so I figured I'd drop a review. Overall, not bad mixing, not bad orchestration, No complaints there, it's a cover so I won't comment on composition. What I -will- comment on is the disturbing lack of an original content bank for you as an artist. You -will not- survive just doing covers. I noticed a 3 song original soundtrack on your youtube page, if that was yours you have some stepping up to do. Expand, learn more, do much more original work, your derivative work should -not- overshadow your own work in such the way it does now, especially in this genre, where composition has become so incredibly important, ESPECIALLY in this time period for this genre, when the orchestra is at your fingertips, the bar is raised, chase it, catch it, raise it higher.

(first of all my english sucks, I hope you will understand what I say below, if not don't hesitate to ask me to explain myself more :) )

First :Thank you for your feedback! I'm happy to receive this kind of comment, I need it to improve myself a lot!
I understand what you mean, but at the moment I'm actually working on original music a lot more than before. It's just that one of my project is to do an original album and to release it only when it's done. So yeah, at the moment there is only covers, but I love to do these. It's a very good exercise for me in many ways (arrangements, mixing, etc) where I don't have to think too much about composition. So don't worry, there will definitively be some original content very soon and an album in the future (can't really tell when at the moment), the covers I do aren't overshadowing my others compositions but it's understandable you felt that way since I don't really post anything original these times.
Thanks again for your feedback!

This is great man! Try to interact with the other artists on here so that you might receive some cool tips and tricks. A great place to start is the Forum (under the community section up top).

Thank you! :D
Will certainly check the forum in the future :)
