I've been wanting to do another track from the Pokemon anime and while it took my a while to get going, I finally finished one of my favourite songs from all of the films. Going to Latios! Sometimes also known as The Rescue for Latios.
It just so happens to come from the fifth Pokémon movie - The Guardians of Alto Mare Latias and Latios / The Guardian Gods of the Water Capital Latias and Latios (Mizu no Miyako no Mamorigami Latias to Latios / 水の都の護神 ラティアスとラティオス). I don't actually remember watching the movie at all but I am sure that I have at some point.
My main focus for this one was to work on my mixing as the panning and sound levels haven't really been up to scratch. I thought that the overall instrumentation fits the vibe well and instead of attempting to "force" a realistic brass sound, I went for something more akin to a square or sawtooth wave instead, which I think blended well.
LMMS tends to do those sweeping synth strings incredibly well and I hope to utilise more of that in the future. I'll have to see whether I can watch this movie again.
Time for a quick break over the weekend but normal service will resume from Monday, albeit with a new project going forward (hopefully).
Do let me know what you think in the comments as always!
All the best.
Latios no Moto he!
ラティオスの元へ!

![[Remix] Final Fantasy X - Battle Theme (SunVox)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e055BMYMYUk/mqdefault.jpg "[Remix] Final Fantasy X - Battle Theme (SunVox)
I absolutely adore the music by The Black Mages. The new and interesting spins that they put on some of Uematsu-sans works over the years are truly spectacular. Some personal favourites being from the FFIII, FFVII and FFVIII games that they do. And, of course, Seymours final battle theme from Final Fantasy X!
They never actually gave their spin on the battle theme from FFX so I thought that I would give it a try in a (very) vaguely inspired Black Mages style but mostly my own style and original ideas in the second half of the track.
In terms of the overall sound, I love what I was able to come up with here. The instruments seem to blend together well and I like some of the off-beat notes coming together to really amp things up and move into a battling flow with that faster slap bass. It actually sounds great when that bass is put into double-time essentially and doesnt completely overwhelm the other instruments which was an added boon.
I know that my transitions between sections were definitely lacking though. Its a little jarring in a couple of sections, making me think that it sounds like two or three songs have been slapped together - more like a medley perhaps but it definitely wasnt intended to be that way. I just wanted to bring together the mood of the original and then move into something more flowing in the second half.
I hope you enjoyed this one! Let me know what you think in the comments below as always.
All the best.
