Brawl is more tolerable, but it's still pretty mediocre. You know, in general the production values for Melee's audio is pretty low, even for the orchestrated pieces, which sound like they were recorded with the most cheap-ass $5 microphone. Brawl's trailer showed much promise..but alas...
Could you please point out where I said none of the music was performed by an orchestra? I've looked over everything I said, but I just can't find it. It seems to me like you're just making it up. Quit it.DavidDayton said:You said that none of the music in SSBM was played by an orchestra.
I said that some had been. Between the end credits noting the orchestra and interviews from the release period mentioning that a few tracks were performed by an orchestra, I'm a tad confused as to why you insist that NOTHING was played by an orchestra.
Why is sequenced music in error? Why do you have to "tolerate" it? Orchestrated music is not somehow superior. I keep seeing this thrown around without anybody ever explaining why it's magically superior. In fact, go back and listen to that smashing live cd again. It's worse than anything on the melee soundtrack. It's just a recorded live performance, not something where they do multiple takes and get the dynamics just right. Something like that in a game would frankly be disgraceful.traveler said:Although I wish Nintendo would see the error of their ways and orchestrate all of their big name franchise scores, (see: Zelda) I could tolerate a mostly synthesized Brawl score as long as we got another Smashing Live for it later.

Oblivion said:yeah, that SSBM CD was pretty goddamn terrible.
I agree definitely about the Brinstar Guitar sample, though I think you're being a bit hard on Brawl's quality.
Btw, do you like Smash Bros? As a game, I mean.

usea said:Secondly, download (or use the sound test) an assortment of songs from melee. Listen to them. I just did that and not a single one was played by an orchestra. All of the leads were synthesized or used samples. Two of them MIGHT have had performed percussion, but I couldn't tell.

Dr.Hadji said:Alright, these updates are starting to piss me off.
The only thing even remotely worthwhile out of all that is the AC stage.Cosmonaut X said:Why? In the last week we've had:
-- A new Pokemon
-- A new music sample
-- A new stage from a franchise that hasn't previously appeared in the series
-- A direct-feed version of the E3 trailer
-- A confirmation of another returning character, together with profile page
-- A returning item from the original game
-- A new assist character
It's not like we've had a week of updates that confirm things we already know.
What did you expect? They are updating daily! There are almost 100 more updates to go, and even then there will likely be secrets unrevealed.Son of Godzilla said:The only thing even remotely worthwhile out of all that is the AC stage.
