Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Project Chaos - History

[Internecivus Raptus]

Hi guys, lemme make this message quick, I'm on a gang of meds right now. Basically I caught some kinda flu virus I can't pronounce that is kicking my white blood cells' ass. I got a shot while I was in the hospital (you guys have no idea how boring TV can get when that is all you can really do :( ) And it's supposed to rejuvinate (or whatever) the cells. Till then I'm just all types of sick moping around like a little bitch and what not, not getting paid because my bullshit boss has a no work no bread policy. In my absence, Snapple, if I'm not up by Monday, please take over the guitar work on Credits. I was pretty far off in Boss 2 to keep going, and as far as Boss 1, try to see if someone else can grab it on the production end, but I most likely can still provide vocal work to it. Oh, and if anyone can, tell Prizm that I won't be able to rap on his track because anything that can do wrong will go wrong (thanks Murphy's Law... or whoever's law it is). Kep a strong head for me, I feel worse than when this fine ass bitch gave me blue balls a few weeks back at the club. Chow.

Get Well Soon! 8)

Hello folks.
Mind answering a lil' question? What's the meaning of OPEN, CLOSED and DONE, regarding the remix states? I'm trying to get a picture of the current state of the project and I'd like to undesrtand what tracks are really ready and what's not yet.
Thanks in advance!

[Hadyn]

It's pretty simple, open means that anyone can have a shot at remixing that track, closed means that somebody else is already working on it, and done means they're finished.

[SnappleMan]

Okay, so having talked to KFC (and most of you read the stuff he just posted), I'm going to go pretty nuts to get the rest of this work done. So if I seem like an asshole to some of you, don't take it personally :D

[Murmeli Walan]

It's pretty simple, open means that anyone can have a shot at remixing that track, closed means that somebody else is already working on it, and done means they're finished.

The bottom line is this: 21 of the remixes are complete, 5 are being worked on, and just one 1 is unclaimed.

[Hetcenus]

The bottom line is this: 21 of the remixes are complete, 5 are being worked on, and just one 1 is unclaimed.
Actually, me + Rexy, Xenon Odyssey and Geoff Taucer were competing for the unclaimed one, and Snapple told me yesterday that we got the track.
But you know how lazy he is to update the first page...

[Rexy]

Either that, or he's too busy thinking of other ways to promote fanboyism towards the FFVII project :P

[chthonic]

I'll get my mixer pic and stuff to you soon, Snapple.

Great, we're covering Michael Jackson music. (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=80203&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)
:lol:

[Hetcenus]

I think we should change the project title for something MJ-allusive.
I think I should shut up...

[SnappleMan]

I'm starting to worry about KFC, he's been having a ton of problems recently...

[Rexy]

I know I don't want to bring the debacle in this thread, but I swear that this is NOT Michael Jackson that we're remixing. :whatevaa:

Has he responded to any emails you sent him, Snaps? If not, I can only guess that he's still sick, so I think you know what to do.

In my absence, Snapple, if I'm not up by Monday, please take over the guitar work on Credits.
Well, that monday came and went, and he's still struggling to come here. What do you think you should do?

Huh?


and also, just to clarify...lava reef has been taken care of already, right?

[Hetcenus]

Sure.

[housethegrate]

God damn, I'm anxious for this to come out. This is my first contribution to a project.

And I really hope KFC gets better. He was calling me a couple times a week, but I haven't heard from him in a long time.

[Rexy]

Have you tried calling him back? I'm sure that if your phone allows it you'd have been able to view his number as he dialled you.

blasphemy

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

eh, personal and physical issues are kicking my ass. ill try to get on as much as i can after today

[SnappleMan]

Hey KFC, I was trying to finish re-recording the takes for Final Boss but most of my Cubase projects got corrupted somehow. I'll have to use the pre-final I sent you a while back (the one I asked you to send back to me). The takes are all great in that one and I'm extremely happy with how it turned out anyway, so I don't see a problem.

Anyway, as soon as I finish with tomorrows exams I'll finish work on the unclaimed/unfinished tracks. No sense in waiting around for anything. I might just ask random people to contribute something to the songs, maybe a chaotic collaboration session by a few of the project artists, put some fun back into things.

[Hadyn]

maybe a chaotic collaboration session by a few of the project artists, put some fun back into things.

Sounds good!

I still haven't had a chance to look at putting the site into PHP (rather than coldfusion). I'm still caught up in assignments and paid graphic design jobs, but I'll hopefully be able to look at it within the next couple of weeks. Regardless, the Flash website could still go online sooner, as a sort of "coming soon" promo site. I have two very cool background tracks for it which will be enough for starters.

All I need now is whatever info the project directors want to appear on it.

This includes info for the "news" and "about" pages, and perhaps some stuff for the "thanks" and "links" pages, though that can wait until the project release. It's just that, for the site to be made public, I definitely need info for the news and about pages. I think Snapps said he was going to handle this a while ago, so yeah, if you could, now would be a decent time to write up some stuff.

This page is mainly for promotion purposes, more in-depth info will be displayed on the php site later, once I get around to transcoding it. So yeah. Just a paragraph or two about how awesome the project is will be enough :)

AIM me plz :wink:

[Holy Warrior Azar]

just out of curosity, what's the word on the S3 Act 1 boss theme as of now? Is it still that collab?

[Rexy]

We appreciate your offer Nineko, but I think Snapple meant in-house project people collabs. :?
Nonetheless, sounds fun; if you want me involved in any of which, it'll have to be until after April 23rd, if you really want to know.

[Xenon Odyssey]

We appreciate your offer Nineko, but I think Snapple meant in-house project people collabs. :?

Does that mean I can help, since I contributed a bonus track that didn't make the album?

Of course, that's if I find the time as well...

[Hadyn]

~Hadyn

Incase you missed it. All you have to do is spend five minutes writing something, and the website should be good to go online. Well, almost, anyways.

[SnappleMan]

Hadyn, dude, you continue to amaze me. You get top billing on the site, dude, up there with me and KFC.

[Rexy]

And where am I in the formulae? :P I know I tried to gather some people around, but I know that some of my own contacts have had problems just trying to come around.

Still, that's good news concerning the website. Mad props go to you for doing so Hadyn :)

[Hadyn]

Thanks. The flash website's basically been finished for a few months now, though... I've just been waiting on background music tracks ^^;

Now that I have some decent tracks, all I need is the info from you, snapps, and it can go online for all to see!

The other site though - the coldfusion one... I'm still not sure when I'll be able to switch it over to PHP. I'll aim to get it in time for the project release obviously, but it could be hard. We'll see.

I thought I'd clarify now, incase anyone was confused:

Flash site = Small info site, with animation and background music and stuff. Has basic info about the project and is designed to be releaesed before the project comes out. Basically finished, just need some info from Snapps.

ColdFusion/PHP site = Much more detailed information about the project, contains track list and download locations - is set up so that the project directors can log in and alter/add/delete information such as the track listings, guestbook entries, news posts, links and thankyous, etc. I coded it in a language called ColdFusion, which is what I was being taught at college at the time. The problem is that CF is pretty rare, and servers for it are costly. PHP, however, can do similar things whilst remaining cheap/free to put online. For this reason, I'll probably have to convert the site from CF to PHP, a process that will take a while considering I don't actually know any PHP code yet.

So yeah, that's where I'm at...

Hady-poo:

If you want, get in contact with me, I've a light bit of experience with php and persistent databases (MySQL).
If you can explain to me what your current site does I can figure out which parts of it I know how to emulate and which I can go about learning.
No, I'm not a code-in-my-sleep PHP mastah, but some willingness and knowledge are better than nothing, perhaps? I'm just operating on the assumption you'd like some help.

<3 - phase cactus

[Hadyn]

Hey! Thanks for the offer, I'd very much appreciate the help :)

Maybe you can contact me on msn? My email is hadynlander@hotmail.com

Well, either msn, or you can email me, or something. It's all good.

Anything that you can do would certainly be helpful :)

~Hadyn

[Ichitootah]

Argh! Forgot about updating the background piece!

I'm done now at any rate... I'll send it to you and if it's not too late (and you think it's better than the previous version :)) then you can replace it I guess.

[housethegrate]

Any new progress on the unfinished musix?

[jmr]

DISC I - Main Soundtrack
1. Data Select - KungFuChicken! *CLOSED* - Starting Line
17. Ending Credits(S3 version) - Kanjika+KungFuChicken! *CLOSED*
DISC II - Special Themes
1. Boss 1 (S3 version) - KungFuChicken! and Mythril Nazgul *pending*
3. Boss 2 - KungFuChicken! *CLOSED* - Egg Sequel
9. Desert Palace Competition - Joker *CLOSED* - Heat Blur
Most of what's listed as not done is KFC's stuff. It's no suprise, given what he's been through recently (and the number of songs he has claimed). It would be nice to get a little more info on where these songs stand in terms of completion.

[Rexy]

If it helps I spoke to him the other day about it.

Rexy: KFC, when are you going to finish your songs for project chaos O.o
KungFuChicken: when my life gets back in order, aint no rushing anyway
Rexy: seems like it according to snappleman
KungFuChicken: you should know him
Rexy: I'm sure, yeah
Rexy: but
Rexy: then again of the few songs that are left to be finished, you're covering most of them
KungFuChicken: as far as my songs, don't think they aren't close to completion
KungFuChicken: snap's heard em
KungFuChicken: but I'm not about to add EXTRA stress on my self from a project I started, ya know?
KungFuChicken: when it's done
I don't know who to speak for in this case, but I hope his side of the story kind of aids the situation at hand. Concerning Joker though, I'll be able to PM him about that when I give him his feedback for his CoE track update. :)

~Hadyn

Coldfusion.. bad choice. While it makes your life easier to some extent(if you have the right tools) coldfusion servers are rare, and expensive as fuck, even more expensive than asp.net servers in most cases. Should have gone the php route, cheap, easy and gets the job done.(I'm more of an asp-.net person but I like Php more for non corporative stuff)

If you need help with Php, you can contact me via msn, and maybe can give you a hand.

Hey, thanks for the offer.

I had a ColdFusion assignment at the time, so I was killing two birds with one stone. I'm a little annoyed they taught us CF and not PHP too... I mean, when are we ever going to use CF in the real world!? But ohwell...

Phase Cactus is currently helping me out... I think. Actually, I need to check the status with him on that - but yeah, at this stage I think we'll be alright. On the other hand, if things change I'll yet you know, I'm definitely grateful for your offer :)

[The Joker]

As far as I know (I said this a few pages back) Snapple has my wav. So, I should be listed as Done. That just leaves KFC's tracks.

[Internecivus Raptus]

A quick question:

Since each zone of a level sounded different, will there be remixes for each Zone's different tracks?

Eg, Angel Island Zone 1 sounds different from Angel Island Zone 2, Hydrocity Zone 1 sounds different from Hydrocity Zone 2...
Will there be remixes for these?

[Hetcenus]

Nope. Each track will have both acts as sources, except for Lava Reef Zone, since LRZ Act 2 and Hidden Palace zone are the same song.
At least it should be like that, but it won't, and you'll know what I mean when it's released.

[Rexy]

Probably depends on how the people percept the themes. I don't think the actual melody lines in the two zone stages change too drasticalaly from one another.
If anything there's Angel Island's acts having different keys for their zones, but I've tackled that by focusing on both equally.

Still, I just kinda wish KFC would come through with his tracks soon. The longer we have to wait, the longer my AI contribution would age (was done for nearly a year) and so would some other peoples' songs. O_o()

I just talked to KFC today. He said that he should be settling in in a few days tops, and after that he should easily be able to record his guitar parts and get his songs done.

He's coming through, he's just had shit happening as of late. Be patient.

[Hetcenus]

I guess we all have been, since there has been more talking about the website than the unfinished tracks (not much talk anyway, but still...)

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

:roll: you niggas are ignorantly impatient. Just hold on :P

[Internecivus Raptus]

SO....eh...How many tracks in total will there be?

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

page 1

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Starting Line is complete, Jesse Taub is pending on doing Boss 1. From here on out, I will NOT tolerate any impatience in this thread about the release date or my status. Your post will just get promptly deleted, on the project or not.

[Hetcenus]

Starting Line is complete, Jesse Taub is pending on doing Boss 1.
Double YEAH!!
And why not just "Vig"??

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

it's not as sexy, duh :wink:

[KyleJCrb]

Jesse Bathtaub? :P

Glad to see progress is coming along here, and good to see you back, KFC. Keep it up!

[Subz1987]

Hey, I have a question about Starting line. It's not gonna just be on the data select screen, right? Is the theme song gonna be in it, cause that would be a great beginning, to have the theme song of Sonic and Knuckles in the beginning of the song before transitioning to the data select screen.

If you don't want to tell me, that's ok. I'm just curious.

Can't wait! This project will kick some serious ass!

[Holy Warrior Azar]

If Vigilante (vig, jesse tub or whatever it is now) is doing boss 1, then is he going to be doing vocals in that as well? :wink:

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Subz : you may have just giving me a smooth idea, or I may have disregarded your post. You'll have to wait till the release to find out!

Azar : Jesse is PENDING doing it. So it might not happen, but I basically begged so it's looking good :)

[Holy Warrior Azar]

cool. :wink:

I'd have to imagine though that must of been a difficult track to work with, seeing as how a whole bunch of people dropped it.

[Titch]

I'm really looking foward to the compleation of this project. *dissapears in Lurker smoke puff*

[Internecivus Raptus]

Hehe, It's been in development a long time Titch...

Time builds quality, I say. ;)

[AMT]

This is the first project I've actually followed from the beginning, and I can't wait to hear the final thing. S3&K has an awesome soundtrack.

[Hetcenus]

Jesse Taub isn't doing it.
Damn...

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

even if all my tracks are finished today (hint or not, you decide), i still need someone to do boss 1. GAH.

[Spunodi]

Can I do you a deal?

I would like to take up the Act 1 boss theme and do it in a dance style - (As it is the only style I have any proficiency in). If I can get a WIP to you, KFC, by the end of tomorrow, can I be in?

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

i pmed you about it, oh and danny b has presented me with a wip and :'( man, it's a tough act to follow. Also cpacaud is trying it out to see what he can do with it. I'm going to pick which wip i think fits the most with what i'd like.

[CPacaud]

I'd rather know right off the bat, honestly. I don't have as much time these days as I've had this winter, so I'd rather not spend time on something I could spend on something else.

[Spunodi]

I have a 'skeleton' for the track - i.e. structured, but needs work.

Nearly there for a presentable WIP - (and I'm not gonna post it here, of course).

I'll PM you once again KFC in a few hours or so.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

I'd rather know right off the bat, honestly. I don't have as much time these days as I've had this winter, so I'd rather not spend time on something I could spend on something else.

I understand, I'm glad you considered it though, oh and by the way, I enjoy your work alot, pop something else onthe site for us :D

[CPacaud]

I have something in the queue actually :)

[Spunodi]

Well, I've PM'ed my hurried WIP to KFC and now I'm off to bed.

Lets see what happens.

[housethegrate]

Damn, Chicken. I didn't realize you were getting that close to finishing your cuts. What's the update on the final song to be done?

[Spunodi]

If i get the green light, I should have the final mix done in a couple of weeks.

I've PMed KFC and Snappleman.

Just waitin' to see what happens...

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Yeah, thanks for trying, but Danny's just too much for ya man :(

[Internecivus Raptus]

SOoooo...Uh...How much space will the albums tracks take up? I need to know so I can get a CD with enough space on. :)

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

2 discs.

[Mr. Bottle Rocket]

Waiting on 3 tracks to be done...the waiting is consuming my innards like cancer.

[Internecivus Raptus]

Aye, I can't wait for this.

I'm most eager to hear Angel Island, Hydrocity and Hidden Palace.

[-RK-]

Aye, I can't wait for this.

I'm most eager to hear Angel Island, Hydrocity and Hidden Palace.

Dey all is tightness homes.

[Holy Warrior Azar]

I remember the day this started in March of last year. I think this is really going to be well worth the wait. :wink:

[BrainCells]

although I have great expectations about all the tracks in this project (specially andreas'), I must confess i'm kind of saddened seeing it in a real procrastination state for so long...

[Hetcenus]

Ain't we all...?

[Hadyn]

I'm not.

I've gotten in the mindset that it's best not to look forward to projects until they come out. Saves a lot of anxiety.

[Internecivus Raptus]

Too late for me on that. :)

[housethegrate]

It's kinda hard to not look forward to the project release when it's got one of your own songs on it. Especially one that took me a good six months to finish.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, I'm starting to get some antsy remixers who are anxious to see the Tales project released, which I can understand. It just takes a bit of patience. :)

Oh, house: You did still plan on doing your song with Paragon, right? :P

[Hadyn]

It's kinda hard to not look forward to the project release when it's got one of your own songs on it. Especially one that took me a good six months to finish.

You realise I have a song on it that I worked on for almost a year, and I've made two websites for the project, right?

Still, just be relaxed about it. It'll come out when it comes out, no point in stressing over it.

[housethegrate]

Damn, foo'. I guess we're just different apples from the same tree.

[BrainCells]

Yeah Hadyn, I understand your point, but one thing is waiting as long as it takes when you know some progress is going on behind it, the other thing is watching it stand still for so long with very little or even no progress on it. That (at least I think) is the state of the project on the last couple of months.

And I believe there are so few things to be done here that the time lime seems kind of unproportional...
Anyway, if I can help on anything, andreas and kfc know they can count on me, right? :)

[Hadyn]

Actually, I think my tone was a little too... elitist. It was like I was telling you how you should feel about it, which isn't what I meant for. I can completely understand people being excited and anxious, part of me's still a little excited too. I'd probably be even more excited if I didn't have so much other stuff going on to distract me right now, but yeah. I can understand the anxiety, I just don't think it's a good idea to lose too much sleep over it, it's coming out eventually either way! :D

Bam!

On topic, do any of the songs have vocals? Just curious.

[KyleJCrb]

I think it was mentioned earlier that Danny B's Marble Garden remix had vocals, but I could be wrong.

[Nineko]

I think it was mentioned earlier that Danny B's Marble Garden remix had vocals, but I could be wrong.no, you're not. it has vocals. and it's a damn cool song.

also MY marble garden remix (http://olremix.org/remixes/?id=185) has vocals. they are in italian.

Hey, I'm too lazy to go back and read through back pages. What kind of information do we need to submit for the website, and to whom?

[SnappleMan]

Well, first off to Marcos. Dude, if you want to take one more short track, let me know in a PM or AIM or whatever. Nothing fancy required, just good ol' fashioned music.

House, all I need is a paragraph about yourself and your music career, a paragraph about the song and what you were going for, and a photo. You can give this to me personally or to KFC any way you wish.

Right now I'm still redoing the songs since my PC last died, I'll have everything done very soon (again) and then I'll collect everything from everyone, give it to Hadyn and have him work his magic on the site. It's been very hard lately to get anything done because not only am I a full time graduate student, but I also work full time. Now that the semester is out and I got a couple months (yes, months) vacation, I can work at a good pace.

[Hadyn]

I hear you Snapps, between freelance, a job at a firm, assignments and trying to get the groundwork done for my own games design team I'm having the busiest month of my life right now! I'm a little glad that there's still some time before I need to go back to worrying about the website...

No rush guys, really! :lol:

Dude, I know you're the man in charge of this collab and I do not mean to get into subject I'm not supposed to, but... don't you think it's too late to bring in more people? I mean, you guys have been working on this for over a year and we are all so anxious to see what will come out. I don't know. What frightens me is that bringing more people in will delay the conclusion of the project in a good deal of months...

Kyle for the win. :) Also, whatif he could be doing some backing music for the website? That's what I see by "short song" anyway.

Speaking of which, I'm always willing to accept more tracks for the website/bonus tracks download section if anyone feels like doing anything.

[BrainCells]

Well Snap, tell me more details about what you need and I'll do it!

From here on out, I will NOT tolerate any impatience in this thread about the release date or my status. Your post will just get promptly deleted, on the project or not.



QUOTED FOR EMPHASIS.

Seriously people, no more of that impatience chatter. It's like 99.99999999% done, the project is.

[Hetcenus]

Actually, since 24 out of 27 songs are complete, the completion rate is not 99,99999%, but 88,88888888888888888888888 *gets shot*

Considering BrainCells is a professional musician with an immense amount of talent and the ability to deliver an outsanding song in a very short amount of time, I don't think bringing him in is a real issue.

There's no reason for you to concern yourself with these matters, nor is your opinion welcome.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must return to searching for pictures of a young Wilford Brimley.

LOL You do have a big inflated ego, don't you? I was just trying to make a point here, or maybe getting some answer to something I didn't know. As the head member of an announced project, you should know that people look forward to what you're doing, have ideas and expect response - I bet you will expect response when this is finished! So try to be more fair and less superstar.

Oh, by the way... if you don't like opinions, why do you use a public forum to discuss your project? There is nothing in the guidelines that would preclude me from enjoying my right to free speech =p

Whoah, dude! This is Teh Internetz and such humour (as was clearly being employed there) is commonplace.

Now these people are very busy and have a project to work on; there is no set deadline as it were as quality is the key.

It ain't gonna be finished till it's finished, as a browse through this thread would reveal to you.

It's a possibility that he will definately maybe hear the song for himself.

[BrainCells]

Well, I was really willing to do another song for the project when SnappleMan asked if I could. We talked about it and decided I'd PM kfc to confirm with him which track to do.

So, a few days ago I PM'd him to confirm, asking him to reply me before thursday so I could have some free time to arrange and record the song, but I got no response, so i'm here to say I will not be able to record the track anymore. Unfortunately I will have very little free time to invest on the song in the near future and the last free day I'll have is 06/15, but I didn't receive kfc's confirmation.

I must confess I was not too much excited about talking to kcf these days because I don't agree too much about the way he's dealing with people on this project, including myself. Clearly it comes from both sides since he read my message but didn't reply.

Yeah, since KFC has died and gone to hell, I'm giving Act 2 Boss to BrainCells. That'll work out very well.

[Hetcenus]

But didn't BC say he wouldn't have any more free time...?
This doesn't look good...

[SnappleMan]

I've been talking with him. He's got free time and is working on the song as we speak. I'm gonna do the drums for it, it should be done VERY quickly.

Absolutely, Hadyn. Send it to me whatever way is best for you.

Hey guys,

KFC just called me and confirmed that he has not yet died, but is just insanely busy. He said something about moving to cali, and having to get all that together on top of work and shit, and that he is almost done with all his tracks.

So, basically, he's almost done and he's still dedicated to the project, albiet a little busy.

I'm just the messanger. :lol:

[Z]

Hellow sonic 3 remixers/arrangers.I've read through a lot of your pages of music and stuf, and it got me thinking of what I as a fan of sonic music would want to hear. So I'me hoping you wont mind me giving you a few thouts on how to approach a few songs.

Firstly, while remixing the flying battery theme did you closely listen to the s&k version of the song? If you did you would notice that every single note of music played in this song is also replayed in the background.The replayed notes are faster than the the song thats easilly displayed up frnot,but its part is delayed to the point that it never catches upto the foregoung music. This is what distingueshes flying battery's music from all other sonic songs.PERIOD. And I think it would be awsome if it was a product of project chaos.

Nextly, with regards to the s&k remix, you could extend the ling of the song by adding different core instrumanst to each replayed aspect of the song i.e make a guitar the laed up first, then when replaying the same notes extend the play of the song adding a sax i.e xennon odysy, adding an orchestral -children voices in the backgrond for flare. I really like children voices in songs in an orchestrated style and
I've not heard this done in a remix yet.

Next,I think the sonic 3 1st boss song should be done in a rap/R&B style and if you pay attention to the notes, Knuckles theme is in there.The problem is that the song has no course to it(which is what I call the best part of a song that is replayed) However it should be done in a radio style or theatrical fashion so as not to include names of the characters i.e knuckles or sonic but should be done in a way that brings people unfamiliar to the series to sing its lyrics.It should be a song of courage,fear,love,and hate.For effect I think the rap aspect of the song should be done by a male artist and the course should be done by a female and in a sort of street fashion.

I had a course in mind for the female vocalist, but no idea for the words to the rapper. It may sound wierd on paper but you might be able to use it. Here it is:
I knooow that you can see iiiit. The darrrkness thaaaat has -come. But when the darkness comes then the time to run is done.....We knooow.. that you- can feellit,the fear insiiide is strong. but if you try- and- run than the darrkness coooomes aloong.Weee know thatchu- can- make iiit!-Just be strong. The strong will survive the wiiicked you-can-do-no-wroong.(followed by the male rapper who says) come-on huh!And the rapping segment would continue.You might also add some sirens into the rapping give it a sort of streets of rage movie feel.

I also imagined sort of a blues sax play in the course background and, again some children voices to really bring out the mellody of the song. I invisiond three variations of the course, the final variation would include the rapper as well as the sax and children orchestra,and the final words after the lady singer would be come-on huh! and a shotgun or something would sound to end the song. Sure the course may deviate from the original and this may be a very long message but I heard some of the music clips in this album and I think it has radio quality to some of the tunes.

Lastly, as for lava reef.I see it has a done marking on it but maybe it's not too late for xennon odysee(I think he wonted a sax in the lava reef melody)I love sax in music and i think it gives songs a bit more reallism. Maybe you should hook up with kanjika and red tailed fox to make an arrangement that has a jazz orchetra feel that could hopefully last 4 minutes or so- I like 4 minute songs because they enable the listener to get the full effect of the music enstead of having it end just when you start to feel it.Maybe start the melody of lava reef with a jazz guitar then a sax a soft melody of orchestra imbetween and a third-final course including both instruments into a piano and/or sax solo ending. Also you may consider starting the song slow at its beggining with only a few instruments and develope the lava reef opening smoothly-as in a smooth jazz- orchestra i.e bryan culbertson and kanjika style.

Any way-and i know this is a lot to write for a project that maybe nearly complete,but as a fan of music,sonic smooth jazz and orchestras I felt the need to offer some advice and see what you musicions think

[Leon K.]

That was good and all, but most of the songs are already finished <_<, It'd be way to late to go back and change them =X

[Z]

By the way, as for the 1st paragraph of my message, i was referring to the sonic and knuckles act1 boss theme. It does'nt have to be a short song if you apply the right variations and a lead instrumant or three to it. Anyway, I havent heard your take on the song, but if this site is for the fans to make suggestions to the album a lead instrument such as guitars, sax, and some orchestrated voices into a fast then calm then fast melody would be my advice to the song.

[Rexy]

If you want to offer advice, then it's a little late ^_^* but thanks anyway.
I also take you're a fan of Xenon huh? Maybe you should pass your thoughts onto him for standalone mixes ;)

[Z]

wow you guys reply fast. Hi rexy. You did the angel island remix right..er arrangement right? Will the angel island arrangement and the lava reef arrangement be piano solos.

[Xenon Odyssey]

Lastly, as for lava reef.I see it has a done marking on it but maybe it's not too late for xennon odysee(I think he wonted a sax in the lava reef melody)I love sax in music and i think it gives songs a bit more reallism.

Also you may consider starting the song slow at its beggining with only a few instruments and develope the lava reef opening smoothly-as in a smooth jazz- orchestra i.e bryan culbertson and kanjika style.

I wanted sax on the album period. We've got piano and guitars all over the place; why not some other instruments to share the fun on one of the best soundtracks of video game music?

Well, as of right now, they have a Lava Reef bonus track with me on sax. But the playing is very out of tune (it got the reject at the judges' panel (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=82455)), so I had to re-work it for a submission that sadly does not have me playing sax :( (if you read the judges' comments, they didn't like the mixture of synthenic instruments and real ones). But Snapple still has the one with me playing sax, and he's never responded to my PMs about whether or not he wants the new one. So he still has that one.

However, my re-sub to the judges is in the next batch of mixes, so hopefully it'll pass there. And hopefully someday I'll re-do the mix so that most of the instruments are actually live ;)

And I'm sure RTF would love a collab doing jazz orchestra...I'll have to chat with him on that one...

Working with Kanjika is one of my Remixing ambitions, maybe one day.

As for your feedback, I think the remixers definitely apreciate the interest, and most of your ideas are good, however the project is almost done and 95% of the soundtrack is completed... So you came in a little late. I am taking that Lava Reef idea into acount for an OCR submission tough.

[Rexy]

wow you guys reply fast. Hi rexy. You did the angel island remix right..er arrangement right? Will the angel island arrangement and the lava reef arrangement be piano solos.
I'd rather wait til the project comes out before going in depth :) Thanks anyway.

[Z]

OK. So I get the idea that I'm too late for posting ideas for the project, but is it still ok to post ideas for future remixes and ask question about some of your project work? If it is I'd like to ask you something.

Why was there not a remix of the s&k gamble special stage area? I think it would have sounded great as a sort of parade-ish arrangement.Perhaps some cheering in the background a tuba solo to start things off followed into some trumpets,a sax solo into a drum solo, voices cheering, that sort of thing. But it looks as though the song wont be in the album at all.Was there a reson?

Have you tryed mirrorring the styles of well knonw artists such as Herb Albert,Gerald Albright,Peter White,Brian Culbertson, Grover Washington etc. Mirror the best musicions,and work with the best remixers,and you eventually become one of the best. And one more suggestion, aim for making a long radio-style arrangement not just a remix. I just don't like good songs that just cut off at around 3 min. thats all. :)

Generally speaking, mixers chose to mix stuff because they have their own idea of what to do with it - because they want to be creative in their own way. If you really want to request something specific, or anything in general, really, I think the requests forum would be a better place for you.

As far as this specific project goes, it's a little late to really change anything with the tracklist, which was chosen for good reasons (it's all in this forum somewhere), so yeah. I know you're just trying to give advice, but the mixers and project directors are all reasonably competent and all the choices we make are generally for the best. Rest assured, the finished thing will be awesome.

Ok, Hayden and Hi to you as well.I appreciate you guys kind replys to my questions.I'm new here to the oc and this enternet chat stuff but you guys have made it easy for me to talk to you. Thanks.

Well, if mr.Hayden sais the s&k album will be awsome,I'll take his word for it.Bye Rexy,bye hayden bye Xennon,bye red tailed(and I hope you do considder that lava reef orchestra thing I would look forward to it).And again thanks.

[Z]

Thanks Hayden, rexy, xennon and red tailed for your kind replys. I am new here,but you guys were really nice.I'll look forword to your album( If hayden sais it'll be good it must be).And again thanks.Bye :D

[housethegrate]

Man, that was hilarious.

[PlastikBag]

Man, that was hilarious.

[Z]

I didint know it would do that. I'm soo sorry. ooooh my gosh. :roll: anyway I wont send replys here again. I promise.

[Kanjika]

Wow, a quintuple post. That's got to be a first! Lol, just messin with you.

Cool to see people excited about the project...it seems like we'll never get it done.

[Z]

Don't say that Kanjika.Besides I'm here speeking to some of the best remixers around.Like you,Xennon,Rexy,Red Tailed Fox,and even Hayden. I almost don't even care about the album now!...Almost.

By the way.Rexy and Hayden. You guys became managers over the project like snapple and kfc right.Does this mean you guys also had the pleasure of hereing all the tracks as well just like they do...I gotta know.

[KyleJCrb]

I think all remixers involved with the project have had the ability to listen to at least most of the songs early. :P

[The Joker]

I heard a pretty good amount. Though, they're probably way different now. I know my Death Egg mix sound spretty different than the first couple of wips I released early on.

[Hadyn]

By the way.Rexy and Hayden. You guys became managers over the project like snapple and kfc right.Does this mean you guys also had the pleasure of hereing all the tracks as well just like they do...I gotta know.

It's Hadyn (lots of people make that mistake, don't worry about it), and I'm not really a project manager. I'm just handling website stuff, snapps and KFC are doing all the managing.

Whilst I have access to bonus tracks that'll appear on the site, I'm actually trying to refrain from listening to other tracks until it's released. I want it to be a surpirse :)

[Xenon Odyssey]

Whilst I have access to bonus tracks that'll appear on the site, I'm actually trying to refrain from listening to other tracks until it's released. I want it to be a surpirse :)

Of course, with my track, you will probably won't have to refrain from listening; you just won't be able to :P

And David, it's Xenon. Only one n in there.

[Z]

You guys mentioned that you sometimes do some of your instruments live.Does this mean you all have access to a studio of some sort.

Oh Hadyn. I know you're keeping the contents of your site for s&k under wraps, but if the project takes another year or so would you ever release anything like an s&k coming soon site?I think chrono symphonic did even before its music was released.Also is it safe to say whether or not the site for s&k is done other than the actuall music?

[Z]

my computer keeps acting funny so I hope it didint send my replys multiple times again like before.If it did thats the reson why.Oh and keep up the good work guys were all excited about this project of yours,and hope it comes out soon(within the year with any luck) :D

[Hadyn]

I've had one ready for about half a year, I just haven't gotten any of the info I need from Snappleman or KFC.

[Z]

Also,kanjikas little pster or link..howevwer you call it,looks pretty nifty.Is it sort of a prequell to the actuall s&k project site desighn?

And, as I am A curios newbee to this oc site,who's looking forward to what songs.For example,my all time favorite song is lava reef, but I also look forward to the launch base theme( which I feel sounds a lot like mikel jacksons stranger in moscow song) the ending credits theme,and sandopolis.

[KyleJCrb]

We all seem to be waiting on just a handful of musicions right now,from what I can tell,and there seems to be only three songs left to be finished. Do you think the project could be on hold till sometime next year or even further.

It'll be out when it's out, I say. Patience.

[SnappleMan]

Hey "Z", how's about you stop flooding this topic? I know you're excited but you're really beginning to piss me off.

Any more shit from you and I'll start deleting all your posts.

[Internecivus Raptus]

Hey guys, a quick question;

Like in Hedgehog Heaven, will the original S3+K tracks be put out along side the remixes?
Eg, Emerald Hill Zone alongside Emerald Nights.

[SnappleMan]

There's no reason to have the original soundtrack on the album.

[jmr]

I think he wants to know if the original soundtrack will be available for download on the website, not a part of the album.

[SnappleMan]

Oh, well the GYM at least. I don't know if we can spare all that bandwidth to get the OST on there.

[SnappleMan]

As it stands now, the only songs that need completeing are Sonic 3 boss 1 and KFCs tracks. I gave Dan a final deadline of next sunday to finish the boss theme, if KFC doesnt finish his data select by next Sunday, it's getting cut from the project. If I dont get any work from him on credits by tonight or tomorrow, I'm gonna give the track to someone who can do it by Sunday.

No more waiting on this shit. The project ends soon.

Well, i'm actually composing the song for credits, and i haven't really worked on it, but if KFC doesn't record guitar parts for me, it'll have some nasty synthy guitars, unless you don't care about that...

[OverCoat]

Oh, well the GYM at least. I don't know if we can spare all that bandwidth to get the OST on there.

You need to slow your roll with all this you run this crap. I've told you alreadt that Data Select, plus credits wasn't on me, I was waiting on Kanjika.

[-RK-]

Yay for Caio! :lol:

[Hetcenus]

Yay for Caio!
QFE.

Seriously.

[Nineko]

I'm still waiting to know an aproximate evaluation of the final size of the project, so I can tell you if I can set up a mirror.
10 megabytes? 100? 1000?

[Yellow 13]

Woah, I had completely forgotten about this project 8O . I'm glad it hasn't died off yet

Here's to hoping you guys eventually finish it :wink:

[Mr. Fox]

OMGALMOSTDUN!!!!

[herograw]

Oh, well the GYM at least. I don't know if we can spare all that bandwidth to get the OST on there.

I will be switching webhosts within the next few days. bandwidth shouldn't be a problem if you'd like to go that route.

[Upthorn]

Oh, well the GYM at least. I don't know if we can spare all that bandwidth to get the OST on there.

VGM is smaller and has less problems than GYM

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

My track is officially no questions asked 100% done.

[Mr. Bottle Rocket]

*pelvic thrust x3*

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

[djheartbreak831]

yall im not a remixer, but im excited to see what yall have come up with. if its anything like the sonic 2 collab, then im sure it will be awesome. keep up the good work

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

HOLY FUCKING GOD BATMAN, REDTAILEDFOX JUST MADE THIS PROJECT INSANE...

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Dude, all the mixers involved decimated this project.... You guys are in for the treat of your lives....

[jmr]

DISC I - Main Soundtrack is done HOLY JESUS.
Amen.

[djheartbreak831]

Dude, all the mixers involved decimated this project.... You guys are in for the treat of your lives....

thats great. do yall have a site already set up? or is it still no site project? if so can you post up the link?

[Leon K.]

You guys have made my life. I have my last two cd's with cases ready right NOW.

Bring it on :D

[Internecivus Raptus]

Wicked! Bring on the chaos! 8)

[Subz1987]

You guys have made my life. I have my last two cd's with cases ready right NOW.

Bring it on :D

Screw CD cases. I have my ipod ready.

Nice to see this project's almost complete!

You're making me wet my pants, kfc! Can't wait...

[mike_taylor]

You guys can not cut the data select. That is one of my personal favourites on the OST XD! I will learn how to remix and make one if needs be! Well... don't think I could actually do that... But please get it on there!

[Hetcenus]

hmm...
(I guess)[/i] First Post Edit]1. Data Select - KungFuChicken! *DONE* - The Wait is Over

[KyleJCrb]

Track 1 is Data Select.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

My friend, it has been completed and I hope you enjoy it :D

[JackR]

Well I'll be damned. It actually is almost done.

I've been following this since the start of the other thread. Way to go guys. It's been a long time coming, but I'm sure it's going to turn out well worth the wait.

[Mr. Fox]

Due to personal reasons, I am dropping my track...

lol I am kidding, track is done and delivered! =D

[Nineko]

Due to personal reasons, I am replacing Red Tailed Fox.

lol I am kidding

[Subz1987]

I see what you did there :P

Nearly gave me a heart attack

[Internecivus Raptus]

/me impatiently jumps around in joy.

[supremespleen]

/me impatiently jumps around in joy.

[Hadyn]

Calm down people, you're acting like it's gonna come out tomorrow or something. There's still a lot that needs to be done, don't get too excited just yet!

[Speedy]

I have been waiting for this for a very long time.

[housethegrate]

Yo, Chicken. My bro and I tried listening to your track last night, but it wouldn't play on the XBox.

Hadyn, surely there can't be that much work left to do.

[Rexy]

I'm not the chicken, but did you download the track alright at least? If so, it might have been with the way it was encoded. You could re-encode it (transform it into a WAV and then back into an MP3) and try that, but that's a mad person's opinion anyways.

By the way, KFC gave me your Hydrocity track last night, and may I say that's among one of your best efforts yet. We're glad to have you onboard, House. 8)

[Yellow 13]

I'm not the chicken, but did you download the track alright at least? If so, it might have been with the way it was encoded. You could re-encode it (transform it into a WAV and then back into an MP3) and try that, but that's a mad person's opinion anyways.

Also, if you burned it to a CD and tried to play it on your Xbox, the system is pretty picky when it comes to burned CDs. I've had good luck with CD-RWs, but CD-Rs, forget it.

Cool thing about CD-RWs are that you really only need one and just keep erasing and re-writing until you get all the music you want on the Xbox hard-drive. Hope that helped.

Back on topic, take your time and don't rush the project. 1) Because most things that are rushed just to get it DONE usually don't turn out all they're cut to be. And 2) Just to spite the people who keep bugging you guys to finish this thing :twisted:

I dunno, I happen to be one of those rare patient folk :wink:

[The Joker]

Yup. For everyone that wants the project on an Xbox(360), use a CD-RW. They ulways work. Ulways.

[Hadyn]

Hadyn, surely there can't be that much work left to do.

A couple of tracks on the second cd, info gathering for the website, a PHP conversion of the website I made (somebody was working on this but I haven't heard from them in months - thankfully I just recieved another offer of help), final adjustment of all tracks, finding mirrors, uploading to mirrors, releasing the project.

There's probably more that I forgot about too. But the point remains, it's still gonna be a little while.

[Internecivus Raptus]

/me explodes. :cry:

[Nineko]

finding mirrorsI asked THREE times if this project needs mirrors. no one replied.

[Hadyn]

I noticed you asking, but it's not my job to organise that stuff, that's up to snapps and KFC.

[BLueBeRRyKiWi]

In case SnappleMan didn't get my PM :

I can supply a dedicated server for HTTP mirroring AND bittorrent seeding (no tracker). 100 Mbits of unlimited (and mostly unused) bandwidth.

By the way, I am converting Hadyn's website, which should be a lot quicker than I expected.

Regards.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

That's killer. Hadyn, next time you get online, I need to chat with you about some very important issues regarding site content.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Snappleman is now 100% project director for the better of the project. I completely stand by this and ask that no one questions me about it. Snap is who should have been running this ALONE in the first place, because without him, we wouldn't have shit because of my practice of irresponsibility. I'm just happy that this shit is close to finished. So welcome your new Head Project Director, who I can assure you can handle the task WAY better than I can.

[SnappleMan]

An unfortunate update...

KFC is no longer on this project. For a very long time now, he's done nothing but derail this thing, made a fool of himself over and over, and has forced me to defend him and the project to the OCR staff when quite frankly, I agreed with them.

I've had to answer the question "Why don't you kick him off already?" for almost a year now. Since he's the one who started this, it didn't seem right to me to kick him off. Thankfully, KFC has accepted what he's been doing and has stepped down (although he's pulling the "It's what I wanted all along!" act...)

It really is a shame for this to happen just a few days before the project is to be released.

There are more things that have forced us to this, but that's all a private matter and this is all anyone else needs to know. Rexy and I will be releasing this project soon. It should be ready for release by this weekend... I thank KFC for the work he did do... it saddens me to have to make this post.

Anyway, the project will be done soon. Thank fucking God. Hopefully now the endless drama and torrent of bullshit will leave with the one who brought it.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Just for clarity it's not what I "Wanted all along".

But it's shit that has to be done.

[jmr]

...just a few days before the project is to be released. ...
It should be ready for release by this weekend...THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME.
I just hope that we don't have another Hedgehog Heaven... all kinds of delays and complaints, etc.

I'm saddened to see KFC go. I know that he's been, uh, slowing down the project, but he was extremely helpful with me getting my mix done to the point where it was satisfactory. And from my conversations with him, he's generally an alright guy. I wish him nothing but the best.

10. Endless Mine Competition - jeffreymroberts *DONE* Eternal Excavation
Also, if it's not to late to change this, I'd like to be credited as jmr, not jeffreymroberts.

[KyleJCrb]

I'm willing to mirror the project.

[hobo]

It sucks to see you go KFC (despite the slowdowns and bullshit). I remember when you started this project, and S3+K being my all time favorite game, I have to thank you for that.

[Hadyn]

Ready by the weekend? What the hell? Has anybody been listening to me? How are we possibly going to get all the info together by then? It'll take time to put it all in the site and get it online, and there's testing and stuff that needs to be done first! Anything could happen, you shouldn't make promises like that...

I work a 9 to 5, I don't exactly have time to worry about the site right now, atleast until the weekend - and even then I'm in a pretty hectic period right about now.

I guess that's my bad luck and I'll have to deal with it, but even then the weekend is going to be a very freaking difficult goal to meet.

[Kanjika]

Is the weekend a realistic goal, Snap? I guess we're hearing 2 different opinions. Maybe you guys shouldn't set any dates yet because all that gets is the annoying "OMG" posts that we just dont need, And then more "I CANT WAIT!2!11!!" posts if you don't meet that deadline.

Everyone needs to have some patience now, and understand that this isn't the only thing in peoples lives right now. I know how it feels to be pushed to get stuff done, and nobody wants that.

[SnappleMan]

Hadyn, I don't mean that the website will be ready by then, I'll PM you with all the details.

I've left all the dealings about the site to you and KFC, but there was nothing done. Anyway, I'll get all the details to you, and we'll work out a full on release .

[Subz1987]

Is KFC's Data Select remix still going to be on the project?

[Hetcenus]

Why not?

[SnappleMan]

Ofcourse it's gonna be on there. He did a damn fine job on it. KFC will still get the credit that's due to him, it's not like I'm erased the fact that he ever had any involvement with this.

Right now I'm gathering all the songs and info together, tagging and naming everything. And then Hadyn and I have to decide how much of the artist profiles will be on there (if at all), and how we're gonna lay things out.

Hadyn has been EXTREMELY patient with us and it's time he got a word in as to how we're gonna finish this thing up. So as soon as he and I can talk, we'll lay out a plan on how to release the project.

[Subz1987]

Cool. I was just wondering.

Take your time with this and get it done right. I've been waiting a year for this project. I can wait a few more weeks. Looking forward to this project!

[SnappleMan]

Also, I moved all the boss themes to the main soundtrack. They're not "special" themes.

[BLueBeRRyKiWi]

I've just finished the PHP/MySQL conversion of Hadyn's coldfusion pages.

He'll have a nice surprise when he wakes up.


Now, I'd like to know if you plan on using my dedicated server for HTTP mirroring, Bittorrent seeding, Website hosting, if not everything, as I have yet to prepare it.

If you want website hosting, tell me soon so I can arrange database & dns (CNAME) handling with my friend who's managing that part.
Else, I'll just need the album archive when it's ready.

[Speedy]

I can't wait to see the website, when it's all finished

[SnappleMan]

Thank you Blueberry, as I said in the PM I sent you, I will accept your kind offer.

Also, anyone who is offering file mirroring, let me know soon, I will (most likely refer you to Hadyn... :lol: ) give you the details so everything can be ready for a universal release.

ALSO I NEED THE FOLLOWING SONGS FROM THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE! PLEASE SEND TO ME EITHER IN WAV FORMAT OR MAXIMUM BITRATE MP3

Daniel Baranowsky - Marble Garden(Song), Boss 1(song and Title)

Kanjika - Hidden Palace(Song and Title) Sky Sanctuary(Song and Title)

chthonic - Special Stage(Song)

Ichitootah -Balloon Park Competition(Song)

EVERYONE ELSE MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE YOU SONG WRITEUPS! ALL I NEED IS A SHORT PARAGRAPH ABOUT EACH ONE OF YOUR SONGS, NO PHOTOS OR BIOS! THANK YOU!

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

I got those songs minus boss 1, hit me up.

[SnappleMan]

Okay, I now have all the songs in my possesion, minus 2 that are mine. One is Doomsday which I had to restart a while ago because the project was corrupted, and the other is the collaboration with Braincells who is waiting for my drum tracks.

Both are pretty much done, all that's left is some finishing touches and then the process of getting the site ready for launch. This is the time to be paitent. We might release a teaser site to keep you busy and interested while we get finish the full site.

[SnappleMan]

Oh, Kanjika, there's something in your Sky Sanctuary track that I'm not sure about. At the beginning there is a cymbal trail that decays right before the song starts. Did you intentionally put that in there?

I opened the file in Cool Edit and you have a couple markers there, one is marked Noise Floor, maybe you meant to use that as a referance and accidentally left it in? I can take this out no problem, and put a digital silence in its place so the track starts at the same time that you intended it, let me know.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Snap, did you need a wav file from me, or am I cool, cause I know my track had some 17 seconds of silence tta I put in by mistake?

[Nineko]

about mirrors: I need to know in advance if the final size will be more than 150 megabytes. if yes, I'm not sure I can set up one.

[SnappleMan]
