[UPDATED] Courage and Pride — Chrono Trigger (Link to the Past Soundfont)
108[original for comparison: https://youtu.be/sNZwkv7WMIc ]
I could actually see some of you preferring the original over this. however, the problem with that one is that it was really inaccurate: echo was too short, snare had wrong note timings, the string had some kind of vibrato that I didn't know how to turn off, and everything had a release envelope. what I'm most happy about in this updated version is that in the second section of the song at 0:51, the timpani is no longer muddy due to the notes being held out (they now cut off like the SNES does). were the LttP strings meant to go this high? probably not, but I put some EQ on the lead one to make it not sound so harsh when it's up there
a note on the timpani and cymbals: I absolutely love how they work in this song. the LttP timpani is really unique and I haven't heard anything quite like it in any other soundfont. when put to use in a song like this, these two instruments in particular make it sound especially royal, which I think is really cool
well, I understand if y'all see this as a so-so "update", but these updates are meant to be for accuracy, and (honestly) my personal satisfaction when listening to them. but got any other update ideas? leave a comment and I'll fix it right up!
