Yutaka Minobe - A Close Call

Makin’ some headway on things!

So I finished my little unreleased-BGM spreadsheet and nabbed a few samples venomas6 hadn’t already sent me for this song, and got to work in Vegas today trying to snip the best parts I could use to get it with as little SFX as possible (rather than just vocal-remove and lose some of the instruments).  Thankfully, its clips in 51 and 143 helped with the ending (51 in particular chipped in for the very end), 93 for the beginning, and the other clips here and there.  This’ll probably be the final version I’ll use, having bumped up/lowered the volume here and there to make it sound more even, though it sucks that I can’t get those footsteps out of there. D:

[About the “Sound Duel 1.5” thing, that’s how I’ll eventually be releasing these rips (EDIT: I said this thinking Tumblr would show the album title lol).  Originally, I was going to make that and a 1.75 for the Season 3+ stuff, but making it a 2-disc thing would probably work better lol.  I’m also planning to include a bunch of the extended tracks I’ve made for stuff that’s been released, and some I’ll whip up for more of them and for these unreleased tunes.  Now, I do want to start working on GX Season 1 soon, so once things get a bit more stable IRL, I may do a tune or two in between each episode; we’ll see how it goes.]

This one played 24 times throughout GX (and yet none of them gave me a solid way to get the first few seconds completely dialogue-free lol).  One of my favorites, too.  Enjoy!
