SMT III Nocturne - The Depths of Amala (Normal + Battle Ver.) [Cover By DAR]

With the recent release of the Nocturne remaster, I figured this would be a great opportunity to cover something that’s been sitting in the To-Do List for a while! Shoutout to Kaisogen for suggesting this one a while back (specifically the battle version). Originally, I was only going to cover the battle version of this track, but while looking around on Youtube, I came across the normal version. At this point, I second-guessed myself, and wasn’t sure which one had been requested. So, before heading back to my Covers To-Do List, I gave the normal version a listen, and thought to myself, “...why not combine both?“. Pretty happy with how this combo turned out, the normal version breaks up the action of the battle version quite nicely (in my opinion). I had a tricky time trying to get the clean guitar parts to sound the way that I wanted. By the end, I still wasn’t completely satisfied with it, but it worked well enough. I just couldn’t quite figure out how to imitate the clean tone from the original. I thought I’d be able to pull it off with my Strat, but no luck. Maybe a Telecaster would be able to do it, or maybe I’m just lacking the right amp-sim/Cab-IR combo. Anyhow, to spice things up a bit, I wound up adding some new guitar parts here and there. Aside from these new additions, I tried to follow and keep things true to the mood of the original. Also, apologies for how long this took me to get out. I meant to have this out either the day of or day before the release of the remaster. You’d be surprised how hard it can be sometimes to get in the right mood to record a video... Plus all the thunderstorms randomly knocking my power out didn’t help much either. Anyways, I did enjoy jamming out to this one. Its always a pleasure to cover a Shoji Meguro composition! I hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR OPUS DOWNLOAD: III Nocturne - The Depths of Amala [Cover By DAR].opus/file Originally Composed By Shoji Meguro (目黒 将司) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure to Like, Share, and Subscribe if you enjoyed!
