Rewrite + related production
a2c (MintJam) explicitly credited the arranger in the version of "Rewrite 10th memorial Arrange Album Forestia."
In 2011, he produced "Philosophyz."
a2c handled arrangement, performance, and mixing for the original version of "Philosophyz." He balanced the sound style of I've from previous Key songs with his own handling, and made special designs for the chorus guitar riff.
Original song modulation and guitar part
The production notes for a2c show that sections A and B of the original song use B♭ minor, while the chorus and other parts change to G minor. For those who want to play guitar parts, he recommends using♭ E tuning throughout the song.
Guitar production by Vivid Colors
On this album "Megmel," a2c replaced the programmed vocals with a live acoustic guitar and added an electric guitar riff in the chorus.
When producing "-Shadow Two-" for "Vivid Colors," a2c retained the rhythm and chord framework he had adapted for "memento," adjusted the synthesizer vocals and timbre to match the lower key, and re-recorded all the guitars to improve the roughness he felt when listening to the old version.
a2c is the guitar riff from the expanded draft of the Vivid Colors version of Alicemagic, designed with heavier tones and performances.
In the Vivid Colors version of 'Far Away,' a2c converts guitar signals into MIDI to control physically modeled sound sources, producing flute-like tones. He believes this change adds character to the interlude, reducing the monotony of using only acoustic or electric guitar.
Guitar for the 2012 animated version of Little Busters
a2c inherited the guitar features of the original I've version for the 2012 animated version of "Little Busters!" by reducing the electric guitar gain and processing the overall sound to be compact and crisp; he wanted the backing track to combine power and pop to support Rita's singing.
Try to be Brave's analog mix
Reflecting on the production of "Try to be Brave," a2c said that he excessively removed harsh sounds on his computer, which once caused the guitar and vocals to retreat. He switched to outputting digital signals as analog signals, which were merged by SSA2B and returned to the audio interface; According to his listening experience, this process improves instrument separation and the openness of sound. He especially felt the effects in the arrangement, guitar, and vocal recording of this song, and was satisfied with the final product.
