@RevolutionaryOfThe6Paths:
Beautiful playlist. You even added the composers that were involved in each track wow. Im trying to make my own playlist featuring as many tracks as possible with a good flow but its giving me a headache. The idea is to create the whole one piece story from East Blue till Wano (but i may skip the smaller arcs). I have no idea how im gonna structure it tho. Im probably gonna fail miserably
Thanks for the kind words! (And thanks to the other person who also left a nice comment. Means a lot.) I feel like more people would like to hear this.
Unfortunately, it must have just recently gotten blocked from copyright, as in the past weeks or so.
Luckily, I uploaded it to SoundCloud right around those weeks ago: https://soundcloud.com/adutiy/one-piece-music-compilation-op-compo
EDITS:
Its ideation started all the way back in 2008, or maybe even 2007. So much evolution gone into it—many different starts (one including the opening to Movie 6 as its opening). Then I decided to finish/finalize it in 2014 while sitting alone not talking to anybody, even online, despite having taken ecstasy lol; and during that, I imagined all the strings existing as the essence of people themselves.
I have pretty much the perfect audio setup now compared to back then, and I gotta' say, there are so many 0.1% imperfections here and there regarding volume and/or transitions–-even considering how mostly perfect that this compilation otherwise seems to be, without being caught up in the emotions enough to not notice. There are still some basically perfect parts like the transition from Thor Axe to "Mezase One Piece!" (Well, unless I just continue to not pay attention due to being so wrapped up in the moment.) I've made a few compilations of other media since this one, and the time it takes to care for all imperfections is absolutely crazy, even eventually lacking enjoyment in the process at all lol! (E.g. doing plus or minus 0.001, or 0.005 [to be less asinine], increments of amplitude.) Obviously, mostly just people with similarly amazing audio playback setups are going to hear the same intentional choices of the editor; an amplifier to power the music as a whole is going to make a world of difference in their subtleties compared to having no amplifier.
Basically, I've never been in an orchestra, but now I realize how much care must go into the timing; so, creating the best compilations through digital processes must ultimately mimic this detail–-which can make one insane, considering that technically such digital work can actually surpass even the most perfect human timing, with enough editing. So if you ever get into that craziness as well, proceed with caution so as to not overload yourself with too much perfectionism, yet it does help to be aware of near-closest approximations of perfection. In fact, I just realized you can probably get relief during the editing process by focusing on true perfection ONLY for the "less interesting" parts of this type of compilation; the best/better parts tend to take care of themselves. This might also be tied with better parts being "better parts" in their own right because of the much wider room for error existing to have that relief. All this is to say nothing of the overall movements decided on, but that is probably the hardest part to get right in the first place. I had plans to incorporate more Movie 7 OST, but I kind of just ran out of time. I even made a small minutes-long medley for a college assignment of Movie 7 stuff, though I don't think I personally have it anymore, but maybe a friend does.
One point of interest is how that part of "We Did It!" that I included is IMO the first time the compilation gets a little boring. A super perfect transition after that at least! The WIP that starts with said Movie 6 opening is just so bad overall by comparison, though. It really is magical that the final version all came together as it did.
edit: I found the aforementioned Movie 7 concatenation as part of the earlier WIP: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/569367610320355370/830339172577312818/One_Piece_Movie_7_shortcut.mp3
It's still got some good parts. I guess it didn't really fit in with the rest of the final compilation, or it had some complexity not fitting the more simplistic transitions of the final version.
