The Final Showdown IV

I'm terribly late at uploading this but oh well


"After spending more than 1,5 years on this I'm finally glad we were able to finish this. I ain't even gonna count how many times we thought we finished the song only to realize how many flaws it still has LOL. I learned a lot during this time and improved significantly, which is also why later sections are more creative and enjoyable than the first half of the song, since I did most of the composing and raw drafts of the song, though everything I did was significantly improved by others.

Looking back, there are things that we could have done better when it comes to organization and shit, like our constant procrastination and overall laziness. I do think the final product is well worth it and I'm very happy with how it came out. I hope you enjoy." ~ krajoz

"This has been one of the biggest collabs I've worked on, and to be honest, I'm proud of the result.
Initially Krajoz came to me, asking if I could collab with him, so I said yes and managed to improve the composition a lot. Joly also joined in and helped us with ideas, mixing tips and more, I couldn't thank him more for that!

"During our time working on this, we've had a lot of scrapped sections and ideas, but who knows? Maybe we'll show what we were planning to add someday...
We've used a LOT of instruments here and most of the mixing and mastering had to be done by me, so I'm finally glad we finished this. Let's pray to god that this is the actual final version of The Final Showdown." ~ TrueCore (   / therealtruecore  )

"This collab is surely a great example both how to do and not do it. It’s been a year and we finally finished it. Lot’s of delays, laziness. However, I’m so happy that I’ve worked with such talented people. I want to thank all of them for their time and work on this project. You are amazing and I’m looking forward to collab with you on something else some time later. Hope you all enjoy our work.

In terms of my part, i mainly improved sections both composition and mixing wise. For example, originally “jazz-funk” section was going to be 8-bit, but I’ve done some work to make it as it is right now. So, if to shorten this up - polishing sections and helping with mixing/mastering, composition ideas." ~ Joly (   / @joly3771  )
