FFXIV OST: Ride the Rhythm ~ Complete Mix (Full Stereo, No Loop) | Arcadion M5 Theme
I wanted to make a as-accurate-as-I-can mix that follows the official orchestrion roll for the Arcadion M5 theme as reference, featuring the 4 kick drum hits along with having the proper ending while also being full stereo so not just dropping in the orchestrion roll unedited into the existing files. To achieve this I isolated a bunch of elements using MVSEP and kind of crafted it all back together. There's a almost perfect version by "Rides1283man" but their version kind of switches into low quality mono for the orchestrion roll exclusive bits, I want to have a full stereo sound as if it were the official OST mix.
Sometimes the drums from the intro of one of the 7 sound files didn't match the transition from the orchestrion roll so I further extracted individual stems using MVSEP like a vocal only/bass only/drum only for one bar/etc one for when I needed to work around that. A couple of other mixes are great but I have musician debuff so I notice inaccurate bassline or drum fills for a couple of the bars or have the transition on the Daft Punk One More Time sounding section sounding slightly incorrect at times. It's an extremely miniscule thing but I'm cursed to notice it.
