Moona - High Tide (Remastered)

 


Moona Hoshinova of Hololive Indonesia produced an EP with High Tide being remastered. High Tide was her song created with ZSunder as producer. The song was using K/DA as inspiration. It also became the highlight of the Holofest 3rd concert in the first day.

Enough with the trivia.

I feel the remastered version is a degraded version. I feel the original is way better. 

Before the critic, the improvement for Moona's pronunciation in the remastered version is a good thing.

The remastered version feels like has faster tempo. This makes the main vocal and the backup singer out-of-sync. I'm inclined to believe that Moona lost the raw Master recording and put the flavor on top of that.

Oh, the echoing reverb on the voice feels too much for me. I think the remastered want to convey the lingering feelings from the reverb, especially in the pre-chorus. However, I feel that is not needed, I prefer the Hall reverb in the original is best.

All in all, I feel the original is better.

If Moona wants to remaster, I believe she should do it like Taylor Swift: recreating the instruments. And plus, vocal like now, minus the reverb. I believe for a K-Pop-style music, there is an improvement can be made to the song. It can be done by adding layers of instruments to make the song tighter.

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
