Lufia 1 & 2 Project! New thread above!

[Bahamut]

So welcome everyone - today marks the start of the project, open to all who are capable of executing Arek & my vision for a rearrangement project on the music of Lufia 1 & 2. We are looking for primarily rock/metal/electronic driven music, although we will consider other interpretations on a track & artist basis. Don't let our preferred genres for this project deter you from checking out the source material! There are still other tracks that we'll probably want outside of our primary focus.

The first deadline is August 19th for a rough WIP, with others listed in the project forums.

For the tracks, I will be using the names from the OST found here: http://vgmdb.net/album/3061

The OST tracklisting is a bit hard to parse out, but the first 35 tracks are from Lufia 1, and up to the end of Disc 2 is Lufia 2

Here are two Youtube playlists that can assist in finding the tracks:

Lufia 1: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=29D38A6582CF354E
Lufia 2: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=570FB2451D3BB65C

Here are some RSNs:

Lufia 1 - http://snesmusic.org/v2/profile.php?profile=set&selected=1541
Lufia 2 - http://snesmusic.org/v2/profile.php?profile=set&selected=1543

Here are the SPCs if you're having trouble with the RSNs like me:

Lufia 1 - http://www.zophar.net/music/spc/lufia-the-fortress-of-doom.html
Lufia 2 - http://www.zophar.net/music/spc/lufia-2-rise-of-the-sinistrals-estpolis-biography-i-.html

You can find SPC players here: http://snesmusic.org/v2/players.php or http://www.zophar.net/utilities/spc.html

Keep in mind that RSNs are compressed files - WinRAR can extract them.

Hope to have my track done years before everyone else.

[Arek the Absolute]

Hello all!

Bahamut and I have been speaking for a while about this project and I am very happy to finally see it get started.

We will definitely be working hard to get the games a project that it deserves.

If you are interested in joining this, please do not hesitate to contact either Bahamut or myself.

Here is to seeing another great project made on this site :)

[LuketheXjesse]

Battle #2 from Lufia: and the Fortress of Doom.

SPC title is Boss Fight.

I can easily have a WIP before august.

[Bahamut]

Battle #2 from Lufia: and the Fortress of Doom.

SPC title is Boss Fight.

I can easily have a WIP before august.

We had the discussion earlier, but personally I don't think you're ready to handle such a track adequately and have decided I absolutely cannot have it for the project. You're more than welcome to try the track for yourself though.

[Arek the Absolute]

We decided against it, actually.

Group effort, partner :p.

But yea, sorry bro. We talked about it and it seems not best for what we are looking for at this time.

[TheLeviathan]

I'm a huge fan of these OSTs, and I'd be interested in possibly joining. My usual style probably isn't as aggressive as you guys probably are looking for, but I have done more up beat stuff before.

I'm interested in 1-21 Gate of Journey (Door to the Journey) or 1-11 Ending Motif both from Lufia II. I'll send you samples if you want. Let me know.

[KyleJCrb]

hay dont you guys have other projects you should be working on

Really though, looks great. Good luck!

[suzumebachi]

I claim:
The Final Decisive Battle
and/or
Final Battle
pretty much the same song.

[Monobrow]

hay dont you guys have other projects you should be working on

Really though, looks great. Good luck!

OMG ALL THE PROJEKZTS

also I bitched at ari about india today fyi :D

I hope this project roksz

[DragonAvenger]

I have fond and angry-fond memories of Lufia 2. I want in, if anyone needs a vocalist.

[Gario]

Wow, this project will be epic. I may work on something for it, but I'm actually pretty busy up until August, sadly, so I won't claim anything, right now (I'll just WIP something up and see if it's acceptable, if I can :P).

[OA]

Scaredsim and I are doing a collab on Lufia 1 town theme. :-)

[Bahamut]

...

Normally I would give it to you, but Hemo has me holding onto it first - if his plans fall through, then I'll put you down for it.

[KyleJCrb]

Normally I would give it to you, but Hemo has me holding onto it first - if his plans fall through, then I'll put you down for it.

Put 'em both on and have them fight to the death over it.


Or choose the best one at the end/use both. Either way.

[Dj Mokram]

I raise my supporter flag high into the sky, and will be backing up this project!

...Also I might potentially raise my remixer flag later on this summer, if some tracks are still available by then.

[Monobrow]

Since there are two games that use the same theme, why don't you guys just have two people doing the theme.

Let Suzu do one, let Hemo and sixtoes do the other. There is like five second difference in the sources ha.

No really, that's like the best song out of Lufia ever, so why not have it done twice, you even have a good excuse to do it!

[Bahamut]

The problem it creates is that people will compare the two tracks, and it does the less popular one an injustice. I'd like to avoid that situation if possible.

[Monobrow]

Honestly I think Suzu and sixto/Hemo are all very talented, if they have a problem with comparisons, that's one thing, but if they don't (because people are going to compare whatever they want anyway) then it really shouldn't be a problem. To me it'd be apples and oranges.

[KyleJCrb]

Looks like things are getting real epic real quick here. Nice work on getting some awesome names on the tracklist.

[Bahamut]

Here's an example - do you remember when the Disco Dan & McVaffe tracks were posted on the site? It was Triforce Majeure and The Darkness and the Light, respectively. The comparisons made drove McVaffe not to submit anything for a while if I remember correctly.

[Arek the Absolute]

I agree with what he is saying.

It is better to just have one and avoid any sort of conflicts that may occur from it.

I understand what you are saying monobrow, but for right now, let's just keep it to one.

[prophetik music]

aw, damn, zircon got to prophet before i did.

i'll listen to the tunes again and maybe put something in. i thought about doing some lufia stuff a while back and just never got around to it.

[Bahamut]

Bumping this up! Plenty of other tracks abound people, don't be shy! ;-)

[Meteo Xavier]

All the good ones are already taken..... :(

[Arek the Absolute]

There are no bad tracks in lufia 1/2.

[Meteo Xavier]

Alright, well I'm noodling around with a WIP on the Sea song from Lufia 1. Falcon Sea or whatever. I'd like to try that if my summer schedule doesn't kill me.

[Arek the Absolute]

Are you talking about "In the Ocean"?

[Meteo Xavier]

Are you talking about "In the Ocean"?

Or In the Sea or whatever. Its what plays when you're sailing in the Falcon.

[Bahamut]

Over the water I presume (as opposed to under)?

[Meteo Xavier]

Over the water I presume (as opposed to under)?

Yes dammit Yes.

yes!

YES!

A hundred thousand times yes! A whole world-wide parade of children and their children singing praises to Lord Jesus screaming YES! YES! YES! onto eternity and ever after YES! YES! YES!

Also, I don't plan on sleeping tonight.

[Bahamut]

rofl - the above water track is To a New World.

Here's the best way to check - which youtube video is it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPEbQ-3gHEA&feature=PlayList&p=29D38A6582CF354E&index=27

or

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj4ihs-GmKo&feature=PlayList&p=29D38A6582CF354E&index=12

[Meteo Xavier]

Like a forest fight for sunlight, like the whore of Babylon who has no milk, it is the first video.

So shall it be said.

So shall it be done.

[Bahamut]

Use PMs for stuff like WIPs/post in the project forum!

[KyleJCrb]

Here's an example - do you remember when the Disco Dan & McVaffe tracks were posted on the site? It was Triforce Majeure and The Darkness and the Light, respectively. The comparisons made drove McVaffe not to submit anything for a while if I remember correctly.

That's McVaffe's own personal problem if he took any criticism negatively. There are loads of songs on this site that remix the same theme (Schala, Wily's Castle, Ice Cap, etc.) and I'm pretty sure most of the people who submit remixes of those themes are aware of that fact, and they should realize that listeners may draw comparisons to other remixes of the same song. Even if two songs are posted at separate times, there could be comparisons. It could happen even if it's not one of the popular tracks/games to remix.

I see no problem allowing remixes of the same track, if that's what the remixers want to do. The more the merrier, I say.

Well, the discussion got rendered moot with SnappleMan's move heh.

[The Author]

I support anything that can bring forth a DRAGON SHRINE REMIX!

[Chickenwarlord]

I am showing interest in "Door to Journey".
If no one else wants that track terribly, I'd like ot give it a shot.

[Jewbei]

k i will take the
Island Fortress


which i think its the doom island theme

[Palpable]

Never played the games but I like what I'm hearing from the SPCs. Might try to pick up a project track later on.

Scaredsim and I are doing a collab on Lufia 1 town theme. :-)

Wow, this song rips off Every Breath You Take wholesale. Good riff though, certainly worth stealing.

[Arek the Absolute]

A palpable track on this would be wonderful. I hope that "might" turns into a "will" later on :)

[Emunator]

This is a friggin' stellar artist list so far! I hope most/all of these artists follow through and finish the tracks they've claimed. This could be really great, best of luck to all those involved! :)

[BlueMage]

I wish I could contribute in a manner other than offering encouragement. But I can't.

So, good luck folks - this project could conceivably out-awesome all the others this site has brought forth, and I definitely look forward to listening to the finished result. Hats off to Arek and Bahamut for getting the ball rolling.

[Meteo Xavier]

This is a friggin' stellar artist list so far!

Yep. Only person guaranteed to let you down is me, baby. :)

[ZealPath]

Definitely excited to see what people come up with for the Underwater theme in Lufia II. I like my Underwater mixes!

Then there are the obvious ones, Lufia II (and I assume 1, never played it) had very grand rock style combat themes, and I can only assume that the remixes of these will turn out nothing short of epic as well.

Parting is another favorite of mine, and I wonder if it would be possible to turn nothing into something and do a mix of the Inn jingle? Ok, that last one might be pushing it :lol: .

In any case, good luck with the project guys, this will be a great one to look forward to for the next... while or so!

[Bahamut]

Funny you should say that - about an year ago, perhaps a little less, I was gauging interest in #ocremix on IRC for a Lufia 2 project (no Lufia 1 even) and I had trouble finding people who would be interested in such a project. I had already talked to Arek about wanting to do such a project sometime in the fall & asked for his assistance, but I wasn't sure whether it would take off with the disinterest I met.

Fast forward to now, I connected with more people in the community & noticed that some people were more than willing to do such a project such as Nekofrog (I remembered hearing an earlier version of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT2LJTr_A6s ) and OA (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01795/ ). Coupled with djp & his own Lufia 2 mix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00300/ ), I figured that perhaps I could find enough interest and asked around again. I'm glad that I didn't give up hope on such a project, because I found quite more interest than I was expecting, so I quickly prepared this thread in an effort to have the project open rather than have people suspect us of having a pre-invite list & playing favorites, which wasn't the intention - I apologize to any who might've thought that was the case, as I did try to gather inquiries from a few people of possible interest before deciding to go forward with this with Arek.

It looks like the project is thriving now, and it's exciting to watch so many excellent remixers dedicate themselves to making some good Lufia mixes.

[Bahamut]

Bumping this up - could still use some more mixers on board.

Edit: So my copy of the soundtrack arrived today, and I have determined that "Final Battle" from Lufia 2 is different from "The Final Decisive Battle" a few tracks earlier on the OST. This track is notably missing in the SPC files and the Youtube playlist. PM me for details.

[Bahamut]

Bumping a third time - come on people, there's a good deal of good stuff still left!

[Emunator]

Bumped, because I'm excited to see this project fill out! :)

[The Coop]

Bumping a third time - come on people, there's a good deal of good stuff still left!

Give it time, Bahamut. You just started this thread seventeen days ago, and it's a young project. People will show up eventually :-)

[Bahamut]

Bumping for great justice!

May be closing out the open track choosing process soon, so don't miss out!

[Arek the Absolute]

Bumping this.

Saw a lot of people in IRC speak interest about this during the FF4 release party :)

[Otakatt]

No one doing Port Town? :(

But the fact that this exists is awesome. :)

[Bahamut]

Bumping this.

Saw a lot of people in IRC speak interest about this during the FF4 release party :)

We actually briefly mentioned the project during Otakon - a good portion of the audience knew of the games, which surprised me quite a bit.

No one doing Port Town? :(

But the fact that this exists is awesome. :)

There's a couple more tracks we'd like to see done, and Port City from Lufia 2 is indeed a nice one. Good to see someone with as much excitement over this as us though!

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Hey guys.. Love the Lufia series and Lufia II is def one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Can I request something in this project, if you don't mind of course? 8O

Can we have a bit more of electronic? haha I appreciate all genres and the past 14 project albums are great and all... but it always lacks a lot of electronic music. That makes me sad. :cry:

[Jewbei]

yeah i agree we need more electronic projects we dont get enough love man!

[Bahamut]

Man, I've now heard it all - complaints about mostly electronic, mostly rock & electronic, and now not enough electronic haha.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Man, I've now heard it all - complaints about mostly electronic, mostly rock & electronic, and now not enough electronic haha.

There's always rock though!!!

[Nekofrog]

FF4 project was like 70+% electronic... Lufia is inherently a rock-style soundtrack to begin with, so you're probably going to end up with quite a few rock tunes.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

ROFL 70% ELECTRONIC? Just 'cos you have a couple of synths in a track, doesn't quite make it electronic... :P

[Jewbei]

thats preposterous i only heard 3 electronic songs on that album ....4 if you count hy bound

[Otakatt]

Yeah, FF4 project struck me as having more rock and orchestra than electronic. It's all good though. :)

Considering the little coverage Lufia gets, I'd be happy to see it under any genre.

Except maybe death metal.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!! ROCK ON!!! :350: The album had some electronic "elements", but not much of the electronic genre. 4 just isn't enough. :P Nevertheless, OA and his team did work extremely hard on this project and they get thumbs up no matter what.

[Tensei]

I might pick up Port Town actually. Would sound nice in a similar style as my dkc2 track (which WILL be done by august!)

[Nekofrog]

Yeah, FF4 project struck me as having more rock and orchestra than electronic. It's all good though. :)

Except maybe death metal.

You're in luck, my death metal is all being channeled to the DKC2 project.

So it'll be regular stuff for Lufia.

[Arek the Absolute]

I kinda wanna stay with a heavy feel with lufia. I don't mind having some elecric bleeps and bloops or what have you, but the majority of the tracks definitely need to be rawk.


rawk baby rawk

[Rosalina]

Really looking forward to seeing this project, <3 Lufia and OCR.

[Liontamer]

FF4 project was like 70+% electronic...

Please keep your fake stats in your ass where they belong. :lol:

[evktalo]

Hey, I've missed this thread until now! Great to see a project getting a good start. Good luck with it, I'll be listening when it comes out.

--Eino

[prophetik music]

Please keep your fake stats in your ass where they belong. :lol:

ahahaha! classy!

[Nekofrog]

sir i have every right to whip fake stats out of my ass at any time i wish

95% of the people here know that

[LuketheXjesse]

rawk baby rawk

You will like my song then ^____________^

I should make the Lufia deadline, but I am a bit worried about my Freshly Baked Remixer Challenge...

[Meteo Xavier]

My WIP is vangelis electronic and that's the way its going to be.

[Meteo Xavier]

Hey, here's something I want to ask, is anyone going to be helping with like mastering? I have no mastering software nor any knowledge of it and I definitely think my track will need some to be useful to the album.

[Bahamut]

I know zircon can help with that if you really need it, and probably some others too.

[Meteo Xavier]

I know zircon can help with that if you really need it, and probably some others too.

I've taken up enough of Zircon's time, I would like to harass someone else. Does anyone volunteer mastering for a project like ours? I don't know if I feel up for $30-40 to master a track like the one I'm doing.

[Bahamut]

Less than a month left! Who's a bad enough dude to get on board this project and/or cough up some WIPs?

[Fishy]

I can maybe take a look, though I can't promise zircon quality :p.

[Meteo Xavier]

I can maybe take a look, though I can't promise zircon quality :p.

I don't need Zircon quality (that is not a dig, Zircon), just something that makes it sound neat and clean and effective.

[Cyril the Wolf]

I AM A BAD DUDE. Who also can cough up WIPs. Trust me. :D

[Dj Mokram]

Lufia I - Door to the Journey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3ppAdJL1yU&feature=PlayList&p=29D38A6582CF354E&index=7) seems to be available.
I'd like to take an option on it, if possible.

[John Revoredo]

yeah!!!!!!!!!!

[Bahamut]

Get cracking people, 2 weeks left until the first deadline!

[Level 99]

Just so you know, I am quite excited for this. Quite excited indeed.

[Gario]

Hmm... one week to get a WIP done for this project. I might try something with the Tower from Lufia 2, so hang tight (I love the game too damn much to just completely ignore it :nicework:). I'm surprised it's not taken yet, to be honest. I'll try to have a (very) rough sketch for this before the deadline.

Nobody has taken it, so don't feel so constrained by the deadline, especially since you're not on board yet. If you do produce something though, just be sure you can meet the other deadlines though.

[Bahamut]

So it's deadline time! Get those WIPs in or come tell me why you can't get it in!

[The Coop]

So it's deadline time! Get those WIPs in or come tell me why you can't get it in!

Well, she says it's because I don't caress her nipples enough when we're in bed together, but I think it's because I sneak up behind her while she's cooking breakfast, grab her breasts and shout "HONK! HONK!" too much. There must be a harmonious middle ground somewhere, and until I find it, she won't give me any lovin'.

So, that's why I can't get it in.



...

Wait. What was this about again?

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

That response deserves a sticker.

[Abadoss]

So it's deadline time! Get those WIPs in or come tell me why you can't get it in!

Uh, because I haven't picked a song yet...

[LuketheXjesse]

SnappleMan isn't on the list anymore

:(

(good thing I am :D)

[Bahamut]

Yeah, there's a reason for that, but I'll let that come from him or I might mention it in the future. His mix may not be on the project, but he intends on doing it in the future so we're not going to be deprived of Snapple goodness.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

When's the next deadline?

[Bahamut]

The next deadline is...October 21st, for significant arrangement done! Better get cracking people, because the deadlines after are January 13th, and then February 10 for the final wavs!

Although in practice it'll probably be finished a little later

[bLiNd]

i am so gonna destroy those deadlines. i might have both mine done before september fool!

jade is giving me suggestions for a third track now ;)

[Brandon Strader]

I was just reading the Album Projects guideline document because I was confused about something. It said threads get moved here when they are 75% completed and are bringing in final versions. Is this Lufia project really 75% completed? Because I thought it looked like there had been a lot claimed and a few WIPs turned in. Does the 75% completion just refer to the amount of claims you have on your tracks or does it count WIPs or final tracks?

i think that rule is probably outdated.

[Bahamut]

i think that rule is probably outdated.

Quite outdated - a large chunk of the project rules are outdated and needs rewriting, which probably won't happen until there's a significant shift in policy again. We've had some talks about it a week or so ago - for now there's no real change though except that in the end, the project has to meet a certain quality level (which shouldn't be a problem here) and that all of the mixers on board have to agree to the content policy.

[Theophany]

I didn't even know this project existed. Wow. I would have been so down for this. I was planning on starting a project for it myself one day if no one else did.

[audio fidelity]

i think that rule is probably outdated.

not in the case of ff4 :<

[Abadoss]

Well... I'm done with my arrangement. How's everyone else doing?

Extremely slow. Most of the time I'm either too busy or too exhausted to work...

I should be getting back on track soon though.

[Platonist]

is it too late to claim a track?!
i have a wip

[Abadoss]

I think there's still quite a few unclaimed on the first page, unless it's really outdated.

[Nekofrog]

This is the one track I am most looking forward to tackling once I get my setup back up fully. Mainly because I want to bounce some ideas off djp :3

Well... I'm done with my arrangement. How's everyone else doing?

I'm doing pretty good - I think I'll be pretty close to finished with mine by the end of the week (rough mix + arrangement). It's sexy - check it out in the forum, if you can.

[Dj Mokram]

Oops, totally forgot about the project forum. :oops:
I've sent my track update to Bahamut yesterday. Also, made some small banners:

Getting back on track with my song. Making decent progress. I think I'm just going to stop being lazy and go ahead and finish it within the month's end.

Also Mokram, still need those guitar parts?

[Bahamut]

I'm going to make a post on this sometime tonight or tomorrow - I've been extraordinarily busy, and it seems everyone else has been too. Don't worry, I'm not canceling the project or anything like that.

The decision is ultimately up to Bahamut & Arek on this one.
But if they decide I'm still worth keeping on board, your help will definitely be welcome Luke. ;-)

The decision is solely with me - Arek has divested himself from the project as school has eaten up his time. Can you find a different guitarist though Mokram, like Fishy? No offense to Luke, but I want to see that he can handle his current load before I trust him with taking on everything in sight.


I will post more on the project later this week, probably this Friday. I have been going through a myriad of things, including being sick for two days and completely stopping my work.

[Bahamut]

Sort of a double post, but just a reminder that I did not forget things - I've been recovering from my sickness and catching up on work. This Friday or Saturday I'll think things through and see what I will come to the decision on how things will move forward with revised dates and stuff.

[Bahamut]

And the first final wav award goes to...Abadoss! Pretty good work for what is a very short source!

[Abadoss]

Not only that, but I think I was the last to actually pick a source tune... Pick it up guys!

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Not only that, but I think I was the last to actually pick a source tune... Pick it up guys!

Now can you pick one from my project too? :razz:

[Bahamut]

Wouldn't he have to worry about having a music whip lashing at him then though? :razz:

[KyleJCrb]

Bahamut, you are probably going to die after making that statement.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Bahamut.... I haven't music whipped anybody. :|

[KyleJCrb]

Aww, no death?

Better?

[Chernabogue]

May I claim the "Doom Island" track from Lufia 1 ? I sent you a WiP last week.

[Bahamut]

I'm back from MAGFest - be very scared people! :smile:

[Nekofrog]

Once I'm back from the trip, I'm on it broski.

[Bahamut]

So I've decided to freeze the project progress until this fall.

However, I am looking for a capable project co-director/coordinator to join me when this happens. The person must be passionate about the music, and show a level head in many facets. Contact me if you're interested & qualified!

[Brandon Strader]

Why the hiatus?

[Monobrow]

Because he's concentrating on MMX, and a lot of the people dedicated to this are instead spending their precious energy on that instead, at least that's what I understand.

More like on other projects period - I think I might've been too ambitious with deadlines originally. That will definitely change when I kickstart this in the fall close to when MR is out. I plan to have most stuff ready for MR in the summer sometime from the management end (excepting the tracks).

[Gario]

I guess my Tower track will stay green on the front page until the project unfreezes, then (although it has the arrangement down, and the rough mix is pretty clean :tomatoface:).

Ah well, at least it gives us all time to get something done for the MMX project (you all ARE working on something for that, right?!).

[Bahamut]

Maverick Rising is going killer smooth currently - already got a final wav, and another one supposedly done.

I know someone who fits this, but I'm terrified to introduce you to HIM. He's passionate alright, and he could probably get the job done right, but man is he scary (although, somehow, I'm the only person he's never corrupted).

I'll keep the option open. I think he's working on a Breath of Fire III FAQ right now.

[Bahamut]

I'd prefer someone who is around OCR fairly often.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

What happened to Arek?

[Bahamut]

He got too busy before - he's now focused on Kirby Super Star though, so it's probably better that he pushes forward with that.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

well you know i'm not busy, even with wa project. if you need help, holler.

[Dj Mokram]

At least now the freezing status is official. Imho, the deadlines weren't that unrealistic to begin with.
But this makes you wish everyone was keen on finishing what they started before jumping on the novelty wagon.

I'll continue to provide updates as discussed in PM Bahamut.
Waiting till fall might make one loose momentum and inspiration, so I won't wait till there to finish this.
Plus, I'm prioritizing current-projects mixes before allowing myself to take on anything else.

On another note, I'd happily vouch for having Jade help with the Estopolis project. ;)

Well actually, I will probably be making a new thread in the fall and start a recruitment drive again, and possibly redefine the concept & dynamics - I have stuff in mind to make it exciting, no worries there.

[Nekofrog]

The fall is absolutely perfect for me, I'll be well out of boot and tech school, established in my job, and have much more of a regular schedule so that I may dedicate time properly to remixing.

Then Dave and I can get our mojo going...

[ocremixfan]

Heck... :banghead:

Well, I hope the best for this project. Sonic, Wild Arms, SD3 projects... cool, but this is Lufia!

[FuzzGoad]

Hi. Thought I'd give it a shot. Lufia 2 is a great soundtrack and it's nice to see the possibility of an arranged soundtrack getting finished, even if it is way down the road. I'd like to contribute if possible!

I've made a track joining both the submarine theme (great depths of the sea) and the mermaid village theme as it seems no one has claimed this yet. My samples aren't great but I am just curious to see how I might make the piece a little slicker or whether it's worth messing with. I was planning on developing it, but I might hold off until I can update my samples.

[Gario]

Send it off to Bahamut if you want to be recruited (he's probably not looking at this thread, at the moment, and project music isn't supposed to be heard by the public ear). Be aware, though, that this is a frozen project, atm, so it's not going to move for another month or so.

Right.

Bahamut already gave me the okay to give it a shot. Haven't heard back from him yet. :nicework:

Which means the piece must be ass! If I want feedback on possible improvements to be made with what I have so far, what should I do?

[prophetik music]

wait. asdkj;alsdf

[Gario]

The project is frozen - you won't get feedback on it for some time. Wait until it's up and running again and either resend the PM or simply take it on good faith that he'll get back to you.

I do intend on responding to it - I've just been tired lately. I'm on a near daily exercise plan currently. I'll respond by this Saturday latest.
