The Making of Dragon Rhapsody - Part 1

Okay, so I actually got some messages from my peers telling me how I actually did the audio side of the Spyro medley video that I did as a first submission to Youtube. This two-part video goes through the processes on how I put it all together.

Part one goes through the physical items of what I use and how I managed to pick out the original portions of the original tracks by ear, showing the results through the example of going through the incorporation of Sunny Villa during the A Hero's Tail section. All instruments as shown in here were inputted by means of the keyboard (random inclusion of "The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin) as MIDI data into Cubase SX.

Aside from the standard audio from the medley video itself, the music that accompanies various portions of the video are the original version of Sunny Villa by Stewart Copeland (demonstration through his flash player on his official website) and "Spyro's Challenge", an arrangement of the title music for A Hero's Tail created for the soundtrack to The Theoropolis Saga. And yes, the closing title card is one of my own drawings at Deviantart, labelled "Lazy Summer Days" (I'm rexrock69 there btw).

I hope this goes down okay. Part two will go more in depth over some of my creative additions, so keep your eyes peeled ^_~

The "Copeland Vault" is the flash media player on Stewart Copeland's official website (look it up on Google; Youtube hates links). Thanks again ^_~
