DBAF the Anime - Music

I was thinking of it going with the prologue-like bit at the beginning of the first chapter in which Freeza is rescued from the remains of namek.

I played each part separately and edited them together, hence the messiness. It could definitely stand more dynamics, though if it were to be used that'd be dependant on how the animation lines up. I kinda think that final note on the harp kills the dramatic effect of the bell, though I'm not convinced I could put it back together and have it sound exactly the same in every way but that. Hmm.

(For reference, I think I mixed from 6.2 seconds in either the harp or strings (I forget which) and 2.0 in the other. I don't recall how the bells wound up mixed, however; I suppose were I to try again, I'd use the final note as the reference.)

Done with the death of East Kaioshin in mind.

Other than the occasional speaker-cracking, I don't have much to say on this one...

The idea was Xicor's first appearance.

I have several problems with this one, the first being the sound of it: does that really give off a Dragonball feel?

The other is a problem with how I made it: despite that there are multiple instruments involved, they don't overlap, because it was all me playing it through in one recording. Naturally, this wouldn't be a problem if I were to write an actual song.

The Shadow Dragons' "Castle of Evil"? I don't see it fitting, but I wound up liking it enough to record. Definitely could use some drums. The sound doesn't feel particularly DB-ish, either. It'd probably work better as a collection of background bits to be cut and spliced as necessary, but is it good for even that?
