Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Blood on the Asphalt - History

[Vurez]

Whoa, I haven't checked out this thread in quite a while. For a while there, I wasn't sure if this was ever going to be finished.

Now I guess I should start polishing. I kinda wish I didn't do mine so early as I think I've gotten better since this project first started.

[Txai]

Wow. The person who deleted my last post in this thread want my death. I've only proposed my opinion.

So yeah Shael. When I picked that track, almost one year ago, I was really glad for making it. I still love my Chun-li ending 3 "mix". This was one of the best songs I have ever done. And Chinese Dreams gained a "Stuffs of Legend" at vgmix 2.

So can I return to work on a track plz? I'll promise making some more urban genre. I am a little busy in other projects around. But if you give me a good deadline i can make it with pleasure.


Is Zangief Stage available?

I am going on the oposite direction.

I am dropping Chun-Li.
Reason: I am not satisfied with my WIP and really don't want to keep working on it.
My apologies to Shael, I will be following the progress of the project closely and cheering for everyone.

:( I thought it sounded good man. But I know how it feels when you're not happy with something, even if other people think it's good.

Don't forget you said you were gonna do Balrog's ending with me, so you're not out of this yet! :D

Is Zangief Stage available?

AFAIK, someone has done a WIP of Zangeif's stage, but you can also do one, Shael will decide which version is more suitable. It seems that Chun-Li's stage has just fully opened up.


Ok here is a quick list of the songs that are still fully open ie. no wips or anything afaik:

E.Honda Stage
E.Honda Ending

Blanka Ending

Ken Ending - lol this will be near enough an urban remix of the wedding theme.

Chunli Stage
Chunli Ending

Zangeif Ending

Sagat Ending

T.Hawk Ending

Fei-long Ending

DeeJay Ending

M.Bison Ending

Leave Dhalsim's and Balrog's endings to me.

I think that if those who are doing a character's stage feel that they can also mix their character's ending theme then that would be a good thing.

[Shael Riley]

I think my dream is to get the mysterious Black Person to mix Ken's Ending. Does anyone know how to contact him? Truely he is an enigma.

[Trenthian]

wootxor, I was looking for this thread way back when. good to know where it is now. gonna have my finished Guile uploaded and available to directors soon.

[Shael Riley]

OK, Nesper is the mystery man who did a WIP of and is now finishing Zangief.

[Eternal Testament]

Cool, my Akuma theme is in there. Ah, happiness is made of hadokens.

[DCT]

Ken Ending - lol this will be near enough an urban remix of the wedding theme.
oh, i've GOTTA hear this

[Aetherius]

If I'm good today, (I really should not have slept in...) I'll be done or really close to done my remix.

[Malcos]

Weekly update:

I sent out several pm's to those who haven't posted for a while and/or expressed interest in a particular theme that is now free, letting them know the final date, where the thread had moved to, etc. Spaclock has said that he will do the E.Honda theme. Red Tailed Fox and I will be working on the Chun-Li ending theme(s). I've sent a WIP of Dhalsim's theme to Shael and I'm going to start work soon on a Balrog theme. Do you guys think I should sing on it or just leave it instrumental?

Tracks still open:

Chun-li Stage
Cammy Stage
Vega Stage

E.Honda Ending
Blanka Ending
Ken Ending
Zangeif Ending
Sagat Ending
T.Hawk Ending
Feilong Ending
DeeJay Ending
M.Bison Ending


Roughly 5 weeks to go till the final date.

[Mr. Fox]

Do you guys think I should sing on it or just leave it instrumental?



I want sexy Shael + Malcos duet.

[Txai]

sign me up for vega stage.

[Aetherius]

All that's left for me to do is record the vocals, which I'm procrastinating about because I'm embarrassed to sing loudly about street fighter in my dorm room, where others can hear. :(

[The Joker]

I may pick up Chuin Li, if I get some more inspiration for the wip I started a while back, I'll pm you, S.Riley.

[Malcos]

All that's left for me to do is record the vocals, which I'm procrastinating about because I'm embarrassed to sing loudly about street fighter in my dorm room, where others can hear. :(

LMAO! :lol: Maybe write some lyrics that are vague so you can't tell it's street fighter? Yeah it is gonna feel strange singing about street fighter, that's why I'm wondering whether to do a vocal of Balrog's ending or not.

[Shael Riley]

You can't call a track from here on in without a WIP that I or Malcos have aproved as being in the correct genre and of an acceptable level of quality; you've just got to make, submit and hope. We've had problems in the past regarding that issue and they will not be repeated.

And, yes, Joker and Txai, this applies to you.

Additionally, Character Select is now open; Kung Fu Chicken missed his WIP deadline.

[The Joker]

Well, I wasn't really calling a track. I was just saying that maybe I'd give the project another shot. But, I've decided against it. Anyway, good luck with it all.

[Eternal Testament]

Y'know what? I'm gonna make an attempt at Kens ending.
I've no clue how it'll sound but I'm gonna accept the challenge of an urban wedding theme.

...God help me.

[Malcos]

Ok last weeks list is still accurate afaik. I've been working on the 'here comes a new challenger theme', I sent the final to Shael so that's done. So I've only got to work on Balrog's ending theme now.

4 weeks to go people! If you want to take any of the themes that are still free, either me or Shael will need to hear a WIP of it. As I said before, if you've done a character's stage already and would like to also like to do their ending theme as well that would be very kool!

[Txai]

I've sent my vega stage wip to Shael over one week ago. He said to me it sounds good. I think it means I am officially working on it. But i'm not sure at all.

To fix things up, I've sent my wip to Malcos as well.

[Malcos]

Yeah Txai, it's yours.

[Eternal Testament]

Ken's ending is a bummer at the moment. I can't seem to do a thing with it. I'll keep trying but I don't think much will come of it.

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

Shael, too much crap going on in life, can't do song, really sorry, i still love u.

[Malcos]

2 and 1/2 weeks to go!!!

I hope Shael is recieveing more correspondence than I have, because I've had hardly any this week. Anyways I still have faith that we will get a good release!

Tracks still open AFAIK:

Chun-li Stage
Cammy Stage

E.Honda Ending
Blanka Ending
Ken Ending
Zangeif Ending
Sagat Ending
T.Hawk Ending
Feilong Ending
DeeJay Ending
M.Bison Ending

Come on people, let's mobilise! I have no doubt that this project will be popular, everyone knows the Street Fighter tunes. Do as many tracks as you can guys. :D

I've still got to tackle that Balrog ending theme, I haven't got that much time left. I want to finish early in case we don't get any other people to finish the remaining 2 stage themes that haven't been covered yet.

[Aetherius]

now that I'm essentially done my classes, I have much more time on my hands, so, I encourage anyone reading this who has me on aim to send me a message every day to tell me to record my vocals.

[Shael Riley]

now that I'm essentially done my classes, I have much more time on my hands, so, I encourage anyone reading this who has me on aim to send me a message every day to tell me to record my vocals.

You are the worst. Ever.

Somebody get me his phone number.

[Malcos]

I've done a little something with Cammy's stage, but I can't go any further. If someone wants to do a collab with me and you got Reason 3, gimme a pm and I'll send it to ya.

[Malcos]

Right, the Balrog ending is a no-go, all I've come out with is crap so far! Stages are by far the priority imo, so me and Red tailed fox are collaborating on Cammy and Chunli at the present time.

[Peon U]

Someone get Sirnuts to do Cammy stage right now!

[Shael Riley]

You all have fourteen days.

[Aetherius]

WHAT?

I could swear you said April 23rd or something.

[Shael Riley]

WHAT?

I could swear you said April 23rd or something.

GOTCHA!

[Malcos]

My updates are getting a little out of sync now lol, but anyways. It seems that all of the stages have been claimed at this point. We have less than 2 weeks now to submit our final versions to Shael. I will be going crazy in the last week, but you'll just have to wait to see that. Anyways, the tracks that are free afaik are:

E.Honda Ending
Blanka Ending
Ken Ending
Zangeif Ending
Sagat Ending
T.Hawk Ending
Feilong Ending
DeeJay Ending
M.Bison Ending

I believe these tracks to be non-essential (due to them being ending themes) especially at this penultimate stage in the project. However I do still think that 2 weeks is plenty of time.

As for other themes: 'Tournament mode begins', 'Title screen', 'Ending credits' and 'Here comes a new challenger' themes have already been taken.

Me and RTF are still working on Cammy and Chun-li at this present time. I think we may even finish early. Let's all make some great tunes guys!
:D

[Shael Riley]

Got someone new on Character Select. He's quite good! I'm excited.

[Malcos]

IMPORTANT VITAL POST

Ok, this is the final week. Shael has asked that I take in the final submissions. You can email them to me directly (gmail hehehe) or send me a link.

File guidelines:

192kbps mp3 - I recommmend freerip which uses the LAME encoding. I don't use winamp anymore because it sometimes causes the file to go into clipping when it shouldn't. But anyways you can find it here:
http://www.mgshareware.com/frmmain.shtml

Don't forget to come up with an original name for your remix, OC style! :D

ID3 Tags are as follows, using my Balrog remix as an example:

Title: Blood on the Asphalt: a Tribute to Street Fighter 2 - Balrog Stage 'Mercenary boxing'

Artist: Stephen Malcolm-Howell (Malcos)

Album: Blood on the Asphalt: a Tribute to Street Fighter 2

Year: 2006

Genre: Game

Composer: Stephen Malcolm-Howell (Malcos)

Original Artist: Alfh Lyra, Yoko Shimomura

Copyright: Capcom

Url: www.ocremix.org

Encoded by: Stephen Malcolm-Howell (Malcos)

I soooo excited! This is gonna be great! :D

Final Deadline 25th April

EDIT: Forgot to add, the filename would be:

BotA_a_Tribute_to_Street_Fighter_2_-_Balrog_Stage_Mercenary_Boxing.mp3

EDIT 2: Changed the capital 'A' to a lowercase. Shael reminded me that the article should always be lowercase. And I thought my gammar was good. Oh well.

[Shael Riley]

Git 'er dun!

[Aetherius]

Pressure!

*craps pants*

[Eternal Testament]

Does this mean I've gotta email you the file again with the id3 tags filled out, or will you do the ones you've got?

[Malcos]

You'll have to email me the final version with all the mp3 tags filled out yes.

[Malcos]

Hmmmm, will I get a flood of mixes on Tuesday or what?

[José the Bronx Rican]

Probably. :P

There'll be some scrambling on my end, but my two are coming. I only just decided on final arrangements, and I'm about to send my reggaeton (http://www.bronxrican.com/stuff/misc/jose-oc-deejayreggaeton.mp3) to DJSammy for some (last-minute, I'm afraid) scratching; strings still need layering, which is being done now. The vocals will be mixed into both during today and tomorrow. There's a new organ intro for Vega's ending. Stay tuned....

[Aetherius]

You'll DEFINITELY have to wait until at least monday night. I've got exams today and tomorrow all over.

[Eternal Testament]

Yeah, I just realised I sent you the wrong version. I'll get the proper one in on tuesday.

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

Hey Malcos, I worked a small demo of my song, but I can't get it to you today, it will have to be a little later my time Tuesday, but you will get it.

[Malcos]

Yeah, I just realised I sent you the wrong version. I'll get the proper one in on tuesday.

Oh kool. That's even better! I just sent you a pm btw. It only does it a couple of times.

Ok KungFu, that's fine. KungFuChicken gets some extra time for coming in so late to do the Vega Stage after Txai dropped out so close to the deadline.

[Eternal Testament]

Ok, Akuma Stage is in. Done. Finished. Proper version with no clipping, no crap EQ, and no more revisions.

[Aetherius]

I'm going to have to be starting these vocals from scratch, which emans re-mixing every sound in the song to get it to cooperate with my voice, so I'm going t record them tonight (AT ALL COST) and if I don't submit it at like 5 in the morning, you'll have it by at least 2PM tomorrow (cause If I sleep at 5, I'll wake up at 2, y'see).

[BrainCells]

I have all the guitar tracks already recorded for akumajo's song and his basic tracks are all recorded too. Also, the mixing process is in a very advanced stage. Now I only have to get in touch with him (what I'm doing right now) so we can decide the best way to mix the track.

Sorry if we're going to be a few days late, but it's almost out of the oven :wink:

[José the Bronx Rican]

Forgive me if it's in this thread and I overlooked it, but will these tracks be mastered for the album? What I'm giving right now is decent enough, but officially unmastered. If I should master them, lemme know.

Vega's ending is completely done! Unfortunately, I'm programming my own scratches right now and doing final mixing on the other track, and that will also be among the "5 or 6 in the morning" works coming in.

I wanted to do more with the vocals on both tracks, but my as-ideal-as-it-gets mic setup is displaced for reasons I can't get into now, so I have to work with what I have. The chorus on the Vega track is almost rudimentary because of it. I hope it's still satisfactory... Check it out below:

http://www.bronxrican.com/music/BotA_a_Tribute_to_Street_Fighter_2_-_Vega's_Ending_Spittin'_Narcissism.mp3

EDIT: HOLD UP! I FORGOT SOMETHING....

EDIT 2: I FORGOT TO FADE THE TRACK OUT. GO AHEAD NOW.

The scratch seems pretty good to me.

Needless to say that this is tight...

[Malcos]

Thanks for bringing up the mastering point José - you'll have to do your own mastering for the album. Rofl at the lyrics - sooooo big headed! Definitely satisfactory.

End of.

[Aetherius]

I was up til 5 messing with the lyrics, got them recorded, but I couldn't get the volume settings quite right. Once I'm up and at 'em (I just woke up) I'll get back at it, and send my song in.

[Aetherius]

Uhm, I've just sent it to Malcos as an attachment...
(I think so anyway...)

I hope it doesn't seal my reputation as a terrible singer :(

[Malcos]

Great stuff Aetherius. The singing style suits the song and the mood perfectly. I can see this is an intro tune for some reason...

[José the Bronx Rican]

More headaches...

A small but important amount of my recorded vocals have disappeared, so I'll have to find time and silence to replace 'em. I'll try to finish and master everything tonight.

[Mr. Fox]

Hey Shael/Malcos

Whatever happened to Hi, Score?

I don't see it on the song list.

[bLiNd]

hey malcos, i sent the final mastered wav to shael riley already. You havnt received it?

[Malcos]

Hey Shael/Malcos
Whatever happened to Hi, Score?
I don't see it on the song list.

Dunno, wasn't on the handover that Shael gave me.

EDIT: Lol Shael emailed it to me about 20 mins after making this post. So yeah I got it.


hey malcos, i sent the final mastered wav to shael riley already. You havnt received it?

Shael has asked me to collect the final versions. He has other things going on at the mo and so I've stepped in to be his 'deputy' so to speak. It's my understanding (I might be wrong) that he's got all WIPs and final versions in one place, so he can't really dicipher which is which, with so many tracks.

Bascially you'll have to send it to me. Sorry.

Just to update: Shael has emailed me and asked me not to accept ANY submissions after Friday 5th May. Anything sent to me after that date will not be included in the final album.

[Aetherius]

are we good on the title of mine?

[Malcos]

A lot of people have been asking when the album will be released. Good question, one I should have answered earlier. At the moment we are looking for a mid-May release. Everything is looking good so far for that! Don't forget to check my post on page 37 for updates on what tracks have been recieved.

[Malcos]

AHHHHHHH M.Bison's stage has nothing so far! Looks like I've found myself something to do in this very last week. Any ideas for this track?

[José the Bronx Rican]

Done! Finally, completely, mercifully.
Finals, and both mastered:

LINKS REMOVED - José

Two hopes: that I kept things interesting after
not being able to record some of the extra vocals
I wanted, and that I didn't mangle too much of my
very limited knowledge of the Spanish language. :P

[Mr. Fox]

Wow!!!
Excellent, both of them.

But I think its not a wise idea to post link to finals in the thread, could one of the project coordinators come here take these links away, please?

[José the Bronx Rican]

Sorry: I somehow misunderstood "send me the links" to mean "post the links." Links gone, PM'ed to Malcos.

[Mr. Fox]

Sorry: I somehow misunderstood "send me the links" to mean "post the links." Links gone, PM'ed to Malcos.

No worries man!
You don't wanna ruin the surprises do you? :wink:

[Aetherius]

ironically, the links are still active in red Tailed Fox's quote.

[José the Bronx Rican]

ironically, the links are still active in red Tailed Fox's quote.

Yes and no: I covered for that by removing the files completely... they're somewhere else now, until I know the files were received by Malcos.

[Mr. Fox]

Oh god sorry!!!! 8O

[Malcos]

Recieved! :D

[Malcos]

Ok, got a couple more tracks in. Just 6 more stages for me to recieve and we'll be good to go! Fingers crossed everyone! I've finished the M.Bison mix, although it's probably not what people will be expecting. By that I mean it's quite different in style to anything I've ever done before.

Just to throw an idea out here. Right now the filenames are as such:

BotA_a_Tribute_to_Street_Fighter_2_-_Bison_Stage_Tribute_to_the_Master.mp3

Now do you guys think it would be better if we added the artists name in, like this:

BotA_a_Tribute_to_Street_Fighter_2_-_Bison_Stage_Tribute_to_the_Master_by_Malcos.mp3

What do you guys reckon? These filenames are gonna end up being REALLY long! Or perhaps just:

BotA_-_Bison_Stage_Tribute_to_the_Master_by_Malcos.mp3

[Red Shadow]

Malcos_-_BotA_-_Bison_Stage_Tribute_to_the_Master.mp3 :?:

[Vurez]

BotA_-_Bison_Stage_Tribute_to_the_Master_by_Malcos.mp3

I'd go with something like this.

So the tracks won't be numbered? Is there going to be a suggested track order?

[Eternal Testament]

Track order? Maybe something like this?:

.Malcos' Blood on the Asphalt
.Title theme
.Here comes a new challenger
.Character select
.Versus
.Character themes
.Boss themes (in the order they're traditionally fought e.g Balrog, Vega, Sagat, Bison/Akuma)
.Continue
.Ending themes
.Credits


There are no track numbers because I've got no clue how many tacks have been submitted, but this is just a general idea.

[Malcos]

Track order? Maybe something like this?:

.Malcos' Blood on the Asphalt
.Title theme
.Here comes a new challenger
.Character select
.Versus
.Character themes

.Continue
.Ending themes
.Credits


Erm, actually it's Shael's 'Blood on the Asphalt' :!:
Yeah I had the idea that it would go something like that! Although I would like the 'here comes a new challenger' to come in the middle of the stage tracks, I wouldn't mind it being where you put it on the list.


So the tracks won't be numbered? Is there going to be a suggested track order?

There definitely will be an order, and track numbering. Just waiting for the Friday deadline to come and go, and hoping that those tracks I haven't yet recieved will come through!

After Friday I'll do a preliminary track list and send it to Shael for approval.

[Malcos]

Biggo problemo! No E.Honda stage? I haven't had any correspondance at all from SpacLock, I'm starting to think that we won't have a Honda track come Friday.

[Eternal Testament]

Shael's[/i] 'Blood on the Asphalt' :!:


Do you have any idea how much of a jackass I feel like right now?
No excuses. I'm an idiot. Sorry man.

[zircon]

My track is done.

[Malcos edit: link removed]

[Aetherius]

*Sighs* as I suspected, shael's version gets centre stage.

[Malcos]

My track is done.

What I can say about this track is true about virtually all of the tracks I have recieved - a proper tribute to it's source. This album is gonna kick ass. :D

Aetherius*Sighs* as I suspected, shael's version gets centre stage.

Weeeeellll...he is the project leader.

19 tracks so far. Check page 37 to see the ones I haven't recieved yet. Tmmrw is...the...deadline! 8O

[zircon]

I can provide the wav file sometime also but I am going home a little later today for family reasons so I won't be able to give it to you until Sunday.

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

Almost man......... almost.

[Vurez]

Do you want the wav files if we can supply them?

[Malcos]

I can provide the wav file sometime also but I am going home a little later today for family reasons so I won't be able to give it to you until Sunday.

Do you want the wav files if we can supply them?


No need to send me a wav as well! 8O If you send me the mastered mp3 then that's all I need. If you send me only a wav then that's ok, but mp3 will be the finished product. By the way, it's the 5th of May. Hey that rhymes! :roll:

Finals as soon as possible please. You have no time left.

[Shael Riley]

*Sighs* as I suspected, shael's version gets centre stage.

Don't be presumptous, and don't use the Brittish spelling. ;)

I was thinking about putting them back-to-back at the end of the album.

[Aetherius]

don't do that...It's not a good idea...

I recommend putting yours at the beginning, and mine at the end, right before the end credits. that way, they're far enough apart that they don't bore the listener, and they're thematically appropriate, as if the street fight is over in mine, and about to begin in yours.

edit: Canadians use British spellings, because British spellings are correct.

I agree there, I think that the tracks should be far away from each other.

Umm what if someone sent you a low-quality MP3? Don't you want some sort of universal encoding across the board..?

[Eternal Testament]

Here's Malco's post just to be sure

You have no time left.

malcos, to get my track, log onto msn. please.

[Malcos]

In real life, if something is finished I have a habit of saying 'CUT!'. Well now this is the time to say CUT! :twisted:

I have 23 tracks, playtime is roughly 1 and a half hours. I'm in the process of making a preliminary tracklist - I should be sending it to Shael sometime today, if not tommorrow at the latest. We'll be working on several things from there, like finalising the playlist, ensuring quality across all tracks (we have to listen to the whole album in order several times), and the fact that he may have some finals I have yet to recieve. Work will then begin on the torrent, etc.

As we speak, Richter is working on a website for the project. :D

EDIT: Just to add, the boss themes sound great after each other!

[Liontamer]

If Matt's working on a website, wouldn't that give some people a little elbow room to finish something quickly?

[Mr. Fox]

If Matt's working on a website, wouldn't that give some people a little elbow room to finish something quickly?

I agree here. Since theres still work to be done before the project gets completed, why not just give people some more time?

[Malcos]

Ok, for the most part my role is complete now. Here is the final tracklist as decided by Shael:

Here comes a new challenger

2 mixes of the same song right next to each other?


And on a semi-related note: I think you guys need to be a little more patient and at least get remixes of all of the main character themes covered for this project (ending themes and other small jingles aren't as big of a deal, I'd say). I know there's a certain sense of urgency and anxiousness in trying to release these things quickly, but I think the project could certainly benefit from covering all of the main themes in the game, no matter how long it takes. I don't mean this as any disrespect to this project or anything, but it would certainly be much nicer if it were a little more complete. :)

Agreed (i.e. y'all need something for Ken). Even if stuff takes a long time, when it's done, it's done. I'd rather feel entirely satisfied with the output than wrap it up early.

[Aetherius]

Seriously, guys. Make the two songs the album opener and closer. DO NOT put them back to back.

edit:
and it's AethErius...with an E...like in Eeejit.

[Shael Riley]

Oh snap, guys!

I did not notice the conspicous absense of Ken from the roster. Sorry for scaring you. Fear not, though; the album will not be released until all the stages have been accounted for.

I'm trying to get the album as it stands now from Malcos, for my listen-check. Time zone differences can prove to be something of a barrier.

Who needs Ken? He is just the capitalist version of Ryu anyway...

[KyleJCrb]

Talk to Sixto (the remixer you originally had slated for the track, last I checked). He was injured in a pretty bad accident and wasn't able to play guitar again until recently. I don't know if he ever notified you of that or not... I'm sure he could finish Kens theme up pretty quick now, though. ;)

[Shael Riley]

Everyone, nice work! :nicework:

All tracks are in and the webpage is being setup. Now pay attention, because this is very important:

I need a facial shot from each of you, a cropped photo showing only your face, one you might not be surprised to find on a character select screen, were you to be in one, as though you were a fighting game character, hint hint. Make sure it looks good at about twice the size of an Overclocked ReMix forum avatar.

Send your photo, along with your country, state and city of residence to richter@paletteswap.com, and cc it to shael.riley@gmail.com. If you don't get that data to me by Saturday, I reserve the right to erroniously represent you as a stick figure from France.

[Eternal Testament]

Can these portraits be photoshoped for maximum awesomeness?

[Shael Riley]

Can these portraits be photoshoped for maximum awesomeness?

Yes.

[Malcos]

I'll send my picture to ya tommorrow. :D

[Eternal Testament]

just to be sure, do you want the image around 60x60 pixels?

[Shael Riley]

Richter will resize the image. Just make sure it looks good at about that size.

[richter]

I'm more than a little concerned about the shocking lack of photos in my inbox.

C'mon, nerds. Hop to.

[José the Bronx Rican]

Whether I can send a pic by the end of Saturday depends on whether anyone with a digital camera and a means of sending pics from that camera by email is able to oblige me during tomorrow's meetup in Philly. Worst-case, you'd get a pic of the Kitty.

[Eternal Testament]

Ok, my pics in. Be prepared to chuckle.

[Shael Riley]

We need mirrors.

And that means we're ready for launch.

[KyleJCrb]

I should be able to handle it.

[richter]

Oh man. I just heard Akumajobelmont and BrainCells' track, because I'm cooler and more privileged and more awesomer than everyone else, and I gotta say it's unbelievable. I missed Robbie's music so much :(

So forget about the pictures. Thanks to those that actually sent them in, but this whole process is taking ridiculously long. We want to release sometime this month so we're doing something else (though we may still use what few pics we got).

Anymore mirrors? Axe yer friends.

[BrainCells]

please use my pic!!!

[Malcos]

We need mirrors.

And that means we're ready for launch.

I thought we were torrenting it? I kind of just assumed...

[richter]

We are, but every project in the past has done both mirrors and torrents.

The expected http traffic would probably kill my server within the first week, but with the mirrors we'll be fine. We could do torrent only but I think that may turn off a lot of casual downloaders. Your and Shael's call.

[Shael Riley]

We're utilizing both torrents and HTTP mirrors.

So far we have four mirrors ready to be setup:
TheSauce, Rhymetorrents.org, Urbanizm.com, and Supertux.

Contact me about it, Shael. I've got the space and the bandwidth to share.

[richter]

Anyone providing mirrors please change the space in the Balrog mix to an underscore (_).

Also Sixto Sounds' song had no id3 tags. Please hit me up and I'll get you the updated mp3.

Thanks!

Oops, my bad. Guess I'm in trouble now eh?

[Bundeslang]

Good, I'm up for a new project. It's been a while.

[richter]

Malcos, you silly silly man...

Another fix for mirror providers: It's Damien Kraus, not Kruas. Also the space in his filename should be an underscore.

Thanks guys. I'll try to contact you individually about this, and I'm sure we'll get flooded with comments about it where it isn't fixed after launch.

[Liontamer]

Someone PM me a copy to the project so I can also double-check the tagging. I'd also really rather prefer there aren't any inconsistancies. If not, Matt, just make sure you check through it like a hawk.

They're fucking packed with errors and inconsistencies. Some hilarious, all maddening.

If we make any changes, they will need to be made on our mirrors as well. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Yeah, I can see. Uh, I'll tell you want, lemme format these tags consistantly, just to make sure everything is set. The URLs should have the project homepage, not just "www.ocremix.org." If there isn't a project URL already settled for (I didn't check, so just let me know) then I'll find out what djp will do and tag it up with that info. Plus there are a ton of minor inconsitancies, lemme just do it up tonight and host a copy for someone to grab and provide to the mirrors.

Also, is there a track order, or it's just gonna go alphabetically? Right now, nothing's named or tagged with track #s, so I'm just asking.

Also, Shael, what's up with "Blood on the Asphalt: a tribute to Street Fighter 2?" The A is capitalized, because the colon is separating two formal titles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_%28punctuation%29#Usage), i.e. the title and the subtitle. Whatever the first word is after the colon, even if it was "A," "An," or "The" after the colon, you capitalize it.

[richter]

ATTENTION ALL PROJECT REMIXERS

If you want an email address (despamified) or URL on your name on the page, PM the details to me. I will not go hunting for shit so if I don't get a message from you your name will be plain text instead of an anchor.

:)

[Malcos]

There is a track order! I tagged the mp3 files with it when I sent the album to Shael. I'll pm it to you, (or post it here?)

Hmm, some delays while this stuff is sorted out, bit of a shame really.

[Malcos]

Ok the track order is as follows:

[Urban Xperience]

COME ON when is this project gonna be fuly launched?
I can't take the suspense... :x

[Eternal Testament]

I've just heard it. It's freakin' awesome!
Bring on the torrent!

[Aetherius]

For the flippin' last time, asshats.
Aetherius.
With an E. It's the one that makes sense and is easier to pronounce. Most common vowel in the english language.

Aetherius.
NOT Aethurius, Arcturus, Arthurius, Hamburger or Fruit Salad.
Aetherius.

[richter]

FYI that's fixed in the updated filenames/tags and site.

[Being]

I wasn't even aware that this project even existed.

Good on you! I'm really liking what I hear.
