A Legend is Born Ver2

Some may remember the original song I did many moons ago, most may not. Ever since I finshed and released it, I wanted to go back and redo it due to the poor sound quality and other minor gripes I had with composing this in a MOD tracker (silly mistake). A tracker just never could give me what I wanted out of my compositions, much less make soundfonts sound like they are meant to.

In any case, if you wish to have a copy of the original for comparison, you can freely download the .XM copy the link below.

The original song in .XM format

In version 2:
- Much better sound quality
- Almost total rearrangement of the original throughout the entire piece

Left to do:
- Timpani drum rolls and cymbal crashes
- The ending
- Other minor fixes

Feedback is much appreciated, especially in comparison to the original 😉

Hermit - A Legend is Born Ver2 (2:49 Demo)
(Right Click, Save Target As...)

Much better so far. Instruments sound better and all, but it also just sounds more, well, cinematic.
The horns still sound a bit funny, though... But then, synth brass always does. :shrug:

They're both awesome, but the newer version sounds much better. :thumbsup:

What other remixes have you made besides this and the Marin theme? Are those the only ones?
