Thank you.

... my god, it's the Green Biker Dude. I give him two seconds before he blows up.

Hey, I come from UnMod; I'm pretty used to threadjacking! :P

...ABBA's still alive?

[Dahlia]

I don't think so, no. XD

[Arcana]

Threadjacking is bad.

[KyleJCrb]

Threadjacking is bad.

Tell that to the guys in the Sonic 3 & Knuckles project thread. :P

[Dahlia]

Hah! We never leave the topic, because we're all-business, top-quality workers! Our project is Grade AAA! That's right, so whomever the jerk was that brought up ABBA, you'd better get serious real quick!

*shot for offtopicness*

Anyways, I'll just be keeping an eye on this topic for awhile. And once again, GOOD LUCK!!
*hops on a jet bike and speeds off*

[KyleJCrb]

Haha, that is correct! *breaks out the whip* Now back to work, my remixing minions! *CRACK!*

Power trips aside, I believe that I may have a prospective remixer for the final song of the Symphonia part of the project. Those details will come further into light later today, hopefully.

Other than that, keep sending your WIPs to me, folks! We're progressing along on this project pretty rapidly so far, so keep up the good work! :)


...*CRACK!* Mwahahahahaha!

[Arek the Absolute]

For some reason I want Sir_nuts to do Search a seal ~Tethe Alla, and Darkesword to do Search a Seal ~Sylvarant for their second song. I think it would be interesting to have the calm song be remixed by darke, then afterwards hear the "upbeat" one done by Sir_nuts.
Anyhow, I just created the introduction to it. It's "alright", but it could use a lot of work. I will post it when I feel it right to be actually critiqued by you guys :).

[KyleJCrb]

Search a Seal ~Sylvarant

A certain someone mentioned this one when we talked yesterday, so you might see a remix of it. ;) No, it wasn't DarkeSword, and something tells that neither him nor NutS will want to pick up another song. Well, NutS, anyway. =P

[Sir_NutS]

I'll take it in consideration, if kyle is ok with it of course.

Anyways I haven't been around the thread enough(well, ever) So I just saw the name. Best name for a project, ever.

I'll try to get a WIP for you all soon. I'm having some inspiration problems with my music :? as well as having the little free time I have being sucked by this bastard (http://www.psobb.com), but I'll try to not let you down.

[Master Link]

Well, it's just a very early WiP. I'm going to add some more stuff to the intro.
I noticed someone say that he heared 2 synths in the intro. That's odd, because it's one synth. (I can send you the soundfont if you like :P) Should I remove the lower bass part from it, or add some variation to that? Also, I'm going to change the signature for the intro. Once the drum kicks in, it's okay, but with just these instruments, it's nothing. (Hmm, maybe I'll add a high lead guitar there, too... Just to fill it up)
As for the transistion: I'm loosely getting inspiration from a Camel song, so expect something along those lines. I'm keeping it a surprise for all of you.
Hehe, well, this is going to be great: 2 guitarists, a singer and a keyboard player (yes, I play keyboards)... All we need is a bassplayer and a drummer and we're set for a band. ;)

Thanks for the support so far!

[Usa]

Hah! We never leave the topic, because we're all-business, top-quality workers! Our project is Grade AAA! That's right, so whomever the jerk was that brought up ABBA, you'd better get serious real quick!

Nope, our project is Grade AAAA! ...at least! :roll:

[Arcana]

Can anyone here with a decent sense of pitch help me out with the first broken descending seventh chord is in Martel's theme? I'm trying to get a sense of what the key is but I don't have perfect pitch, and I failed the listening section in music class. ;)

Thanks!

[Dahlia]

It's in E Major, but there are various harmonic functions in it that can be misleading. I'll look at it more later when I have some time. ^^

The tonic is always descending chromatically, but otherwise, it's in E.

Thanks!

If you can tell me all the notes that are in this chord, I can ^-^

[Rexy]

Alright, I'm ready to comment on those two WIPs :)

Link: Although brief, it's still got a fair amount of promise with the opening statuses here. But I have to agree with much of what's been said already by thinking that the lead into the drums could have been a bit smoother. I'm still appreciating much of the concepts so far, and it should work out once everything starts to fill out.

Usa: You completely surprised me; I was expecting a piano solo, although a party anthem is just as interesting :D In the brief minute the incorporation of the theme is shown to be imaginative, and has managed to add to your diverse moods within your music. There are two things I need to state here though - firstly I'd say it needs some light dynamic processes. In other words, some of the more realistic instrumentation like the brass and the backing percussion could have done with reverb to better fit the room ambience. Depending on the software you work with, you can link the sounds up with a good range of VSTi's (or export the waves individually, apply the reverb in your wave editor and import it back into the mix that way) to make them sound more interesting in terms of granting ambience. Secondly, you sould also think of humanisation; the samples are rather cool for what they were, but some of the sequences feel a bit mechanical. That can be altered with varying attack times, release times, note lengths, velocities (most importantly of all!) and timings. But this is good stuff coming out so far; it'll be interesting to see what else you can do.

---

Whew... relaxation time. And no way, ABBA are not dead; they're just in a heavy hiatus that may never cease. Oh well... :?

[PriZm]

it would be easier to download the midi from here I think
http://www.fantasyanime.com/legacy/top_music.htm
just download the Tales of Phantasia midi music collection

Well, it's just a very early WiP. I'm going to add some more stuff to the intro.
I noticed someone say that he heared 2 synths in the intro. That's odd, because it's one synth.

I meant two synth parts, not necessarily two distinct synths. It's just that to introduce the song more smoothly, I'd recommned not introducing the bass and lead part together.

[KyleJCrb]

The website has been updated a bit. Let me know if there are any problems (especially you picky people who were claiming to have problems last time :P).

[Orion_Black]

Just in case anyone's wondering, my vocal range spans from a two octaves below middle C to middle C or so, and my falsetto can almost reach 2 octaves above that.

[Dahlia]

Holy crap, are you good or what? XD

(That's a nice range.)

[Orion_Black]

Holy crap, are you good are what? XD

(That's a nice range.)
I'm a baritone in actuallity, but my Jazz Choir teacher got me to sing Tenor.
And then she got me to sing with the Concert Choir too, where I used alot of falsetto, broadening my range.
And I'm only 15!
Imagine what I could hit once my voice settles down..!!

[Dahlia]

I'd like to hear! Do you have any samples available?

[Orion_Black]

I'd like to hear! Do you have any samples available?
Not on me, but I could always record something?
Perhaps I should conjure something up.

[Dahlia]

Harp too! I actually have a plan, but I can't tell anyone yet. ^-^

[Kureejii Lea]

Oooh, secret plans. Sounds... intriguing.

And even then, some samples of what you're capable of might be good for those seeking assistance in their songs, or for those who haven't even thought of it.

[Sir_NutS]

I was working on my song yesterday, It will be very cool, with this chilly feel to it. Nothing too upbeat to those who are expecting that. But I guess that it'll fit the overall mood of the album better this way.

I'll render a WIP soon.

[KyleJCrb]

NutS rocks. :) Can't wait to hear it!

[Usa]

Yeah, NutS rocks! :o *eats macadamia ice cream*

Thanks for your comments, Rexy, but keep in mind that this is still a baby WIP compared to the finished product. I'm still in the stage of composing, and the playing-it-again-in-a-much-better-and-much-more-emotional-way, and mixdown/mastering which also includes effects (and yeah, my keyboard has very good professional built-in effects, it can even process external sources with its effects) will be after that, so don't expect a refined mixdown or fluent playing by now. That's also the reason why I normally don't hand out WIPs, except release candidate ones or medleys where some parts are near-finished. But it's cool you like the ideas of the short segments of the product I sent here :)

Oh yeah, and to all others out there, here is the new WIP 4 for you! (http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~dlippert/Iselia-WIP4.mp3) Grab it while it's still hot *lol* As you hear in this short teaser clip, this time own composition will not come too short. In fact, I plan on incorporating the different moods the party in ToS went through in Iselia. And remember, it's just a baby WIP after all :P

[Dahlia]

That's what I meant when I said "dive into a dramatic piano solo"! Very lovely!

[KyleJCrb]

Because my current web host is being very flakey (I can't even access the Control Panel right now, and it seems that the server administrators are all dead, or something), I've been shopping around for some new web hosting. I've found what looks to be a damn good deal, and it looks like I'll finally get to own kylejcrb.com, :lol:. Once I get this hosting, the site should be transitioning to the new server in the next couple of days. The new hosting will have both a lot more storage space and a lot more bandwidth, which will be helpful when it comes time to release the project. I'll also be creating a forum soon (Lea, this is your cue to create a "Forum" button. :P) so those who want to discuss their arrangements or whatever in private will be able to do so. Exciting times ahead, folks!

[Master Link]

So... I've got a new WiP. Not entirely sure about this one though. I'm going to add some stuff to the intro during the new harp section. (playing the actual melody once there is in the planning) Same goes for the guitars. I'll need some help on those things for the stuff after that though, since I've never written for guitar, so I don't know what exactly is possible and what sounds good.
As for the singing: once the entire intro is finished and the first part of the guitar is done, I'lls tart writing the melody and lyrics. :D

Anyway... Clicky! (http://home.tiscali.nl/vdwijngaart/Hydropolis3.mp3)

Note: this is the last WiP I'm slamming on the internet in a while, since the song is getting more of a shape and body now.

EDIT: I made another change to the intro by replacing a part of the synth by a nylon guitar. The high melody pad now seems to clip at certain points though, but I can't see any distinct peaks in the waveform. Any solutions to this?

EDIT2: Nevermind, I got help and now it's fine.

[Dahlia]

The synth at the beginning is a bit "plunky" for my liking. I like the pad in the background, very subtle. The harp runs are pretty cool, but are maybe a bit too much up front and take the attention away from the melody. The melody by the way, could use a little variation. After all, it's the same four chords and melody being repeated for a full minute, so both melodic and harmonic variation would add to the interest of the song. The drums fading in is a good idea but could be a little more smooth and have some velocity editing on the hi-hat. The transition is definitely better now, it's kind of interesting how it's the same musical idea fading into itself but with different instrumentation. Even so, it might be better in the end to progress to something a little more fresh to the listener after the introduction. Glad to see the bass is up front. ^^

EDIT: Oh, it's different now! XD Okay, well I won't say much about the guitar's sound because I'm sure it's just intended as a "placeholder" for the real stuff. The strum would sound better a little smoother though (offset a notes just a tiny bit less), and with some ornamentation in between the chords. You did say you aren't too familiar with the way guitar parts are, so Prizm and I can help you with that along the way if you'd like.

[Usa]

Yeah, pretty nice additions. I also think that the harp is a bit too loud, but this is a minor issue which can be resolved pretty fast. I'm really looking forward what will become of this mix :)

[Sir_NutS]

go get your coats ppl:
ftp://66.221.70.133/FS/Sir_NutS-Frozen_Heart.mp3
First demo.

Yes Reason's piano sucks. I'll see how I can use my old piano soundfonts.(Still haven't used soundfonts in reason)

[Dahlia]

go get your coats ppl

Does this apply to Overcoat?

I liked the arrangement a lot! I didn't think the intro was interesting enough to go on for a full 30 seconds though. I'll focus on what I thought of the sounds for now. ^^ The piano didn't sound bad when the mix was thick. The kick drum reminded me of something from FL but EQ'ed a little. Personally, I think it would help the dancy feel if it actually stood out a little less.

Good job on making a really "cold" sounding WIP! Looking forward to more!

[KyleJCrb]

go get your coats ppl

Does this apply to Overcoat?

I liked the arrangement a lot! I didn't think the intro was interesting enough to go on for a full 30 seconds though.

If I recall, some of NutS' earlier arrangements had intros that lasted longer than 2 minutes, so he's really toned it down now. :P

Sounds great, NutS! One of the synths is a little loud, but otherwise, a good start.

[Dahlia]

I like really long introductions, but this time I just meant the part where the synth was flying around. I guess it adds to the suspense. XD

[Sir_NutS]

yeah the long intro was intentional, to emphatize a bit the chilly feel. It would feel so chilly if I went to the melody and the beat after 10 seconds, its just to set up the mood :wink:

Yeah I think the kick stoods out a bit too much though. Its not a FL kick though, I got it from an independent refill for Reason. If there's one to blame, is Sadorf! he's being saying how much my kicks suck after I moved to reason that I've trying too hard to make them sound good lol.

Don't worry this was just a first demo, and plenty of things will be fixed before the last version. Thanks for the quick feedback though, It helps a lot ^_^

[Arcana]

Yes Reason's piano sucks. I'll see how I can use my old piano soundfonts.(Still haven't used soundfonts in reason)

OT: Use the NN-XT. It'll load soundfonts.

Your kick is too loud, as mentioned. I think it might actually clip but I didn't run it through the spectrum analyzer to find out.

Reason kicks ass. ;) Good start going on, here - hope to see more of it soon. I have to hit some of the other WIPs (and get started on my own work!)

[KyleJCrb]

So...Does anybody want to pick up Aviators from ToP? It's the only song left, since I have a potential mixer for Law of the Battle. Anyone who's not a part of the project yet, or doesn't plan on going with an alternate song not listed want to grab it?

[Dahlia]

Maybe PM Lee Lewis and see if he'll fill in the last track for ToP. He'll probably want to choose whatever he wants though, that rebellious guy. XD

This is a subliminal message. Harmonious Moment rocks. Harmonious Moment rocks. Raising a Curtain also rocks. Open Fire too. You people better cover these as your alternate tracks. This has been a subliminal message.

[KyleJCrb]

I PMed GLL about getting on again, but he didn't seem terribly enthusiastic about it.

Might be time to hit the recruiting blocks again...VGMix has some likely candidates, I think.

[Sir_NutS]

Yeah I spoke with Thomas last week about it and he wasn't interested in this.
But there are plenty of good remixers around so I guess it won't be hard finding one.

[Mr. Fox]

Aviators is damn cool. Reminds me of some anime opening theme.
Analoq or Carbunkle could try it. I mean, both of them have remixes at Anime Remix... So I guess it would fit them. I think... :)

[KyleJCrb]

analoq's burnt out on projects, and Carbunk1e never replied to my PM (Judging by his post about his current work for the Doom project, I'm assuming he's just out of time).

Dang, this just isn't working, is it? :P

[Sir_NutS]

I really like Mae and Kyle
They are so nifty
Sometimes if I'm nice to them
they will unban me

We can burst a bunch of thunderspam
ah-ha
We can burst a bunch of thunderspam
ah-ha

Visit me tomorrow, we'll make a nice work video
ah-ha
Visit me tomorrow, we'll make a nice work video
...

ah-ha

[KyleJCrb]

Greatest song ever. Though it's "post", not burst.

analoq said he would join if we absolutely needed somebody (IE; somebody drops at the last minute, or somebody sucks at remixing and we need somebody who doesn't...stuff like that :P), but he's like, the last resort guy. I'll try maybe asking a few other people first.

[Arcana]

How about SiRus? SGX is already busy

[Sir_NutS]

I'll try to contact some of my remixer friends.
I would like to have Siamey in this but I don't know if he'll be willing to do so. But hey i can try at least.

[Dahlia]

Ask DJP to mix! Has anyone actually ever done that? What a crazy idea. XD

Anyway, it'll work out. ToP will be covered in full!

[Arek the Absolute]

I haven't checked the other pages yet, but I see that there is some sort of problem? What exactly is wrong?

[Arcana]

We need a sucker... err, a remixer to do the last untaken song.

[Dahlia]

I haven't checked the other pages yet, but I see that there is some sort of problem? What exactly is wrong?

We just need a mixer for the last ToP song, no big problem. ^^

[PriZm]

correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there two remaining songs ? Aviators and The Law of Battle ?

[Mr. Fox]

Ask DJP to mix! Has anyone actually ever done that? What a crazy idea. XD

Anyway, it'll work out. ToP will be covered in full!

Well... DJP also has some anime Remix... :roll:

[KyleJCrb]

New website URL

You can now find the website at: http://talesproject.kylejcrb.com. Update your sigs and bookmarks!

(Yes, I am aware that the Music, Staff & Musicians, and Forum buttons do not work. They will soon enough. :P)

[Dahlia]

So you got that domain name you wanted! (I wonder why...) Nice work!

[KyleJCrb]

So you got that domain name you wanted! (I wonder why...) Nice work!

I've always wanted my own name as a .com. ;)

[Sir_NutS]

Kyle get on msn more often plzkthnx

[Dahlia]

Nono, I meant I was absolutely confused as to what made you choose that domain name in particular.

...now the joke is lost! Forever!

What's wrong with me? XD

[KyleJCrb]

Because I can use it for all sorts of stuff, like making a conceited website all about ME! (In other words, a blank page.)

Anyway, I've set up the forums, finally! Go to http://kylejcrb.com/forum/ if you want to discuss the project or your WIP outside of the public eye. I'll be updating the website with the link to the forums soon. Don't forget the new site URL (http://talesproject.kylejcrb.com) too!

[KyleJCrb]

correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there two remaining songs ? Aviators and The Law of Battle ?

Must've missed this. I have a potential mixer for Law of the Battle. ;)

[Dhsu]

I'm wondering how you can even have a ToP project without "Yume Wa Owaranai (The Dream Will Never Die)" or "Mystic Forest." Which is a shame, cause I'd actually want to remix those. :(

[Dahlia]

If you sign up for Aviators, you can do one of those songs too!

...and we'd love you for helping out. XD

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, I had someone mention the Dream Will Never Die to me; the problem it is, how can you do it? It's like, actually a full song, with lyrics, and real instruments and stuff. :P

As for Mystic Forest; Soraya's right. The topmost rule in the first post explains how that works.

[Dhsu]

Yeah, I had someone mention the Dream Will Never Die to me; the problem it is, how can you do it? It's like, actually a full song, with lyrics, and real instruments and stuff. :P
The piano is a real instrument. :/ As long as it has a melody, it can be arranged, "full song" or no.

And it's the game's opening theme, for crying out loud! Seriously here! It'd be like having a Zelda project without the Overworld, or a Secret of Mana project without Angel's Fear.

But whatever, fine. I might take Aviators. It's catchy enough.

MIGHT.

[Sir_NutS]

I've listened to DHSU's crud, he's good. I think he could make a good remix of the dream will never die.

[Master Link]

I've listened to DHSU's crud, he's good. I think he could make a good remix of the dream will never die.
Besides, you can always get someone to do the lyrics for you.

[KyleJCrb]

Hmmm...Is the Dream Will Never Die in the SNES version? Not that it matters, but yeah.

Alright, in case anyone hasn't noticed, ToP actually has one less song on its list than ToS. I took something off awhile ago (before removing Castle of the Dhaos), but I can't remember what or why, and I never replaced it with anything. If I put The Dream Will Never Die on the list, Dhsu, will you take it?

[Sir_NutS]

The Dream Will Never Die is the intro song for the ToP game. Its actually the theme song of the game. Its some j-pop, but its not too cheesy. And actually this song blew my socks off because I haven't seen anything like that intro on a snes game.
ToP rocks.

[Dahlia]

Yeah, it does! I don't think I've seen any other SNES game with so much voice acting. I'm glad the song numbers are equal now though. It'll be exciting to see which songs end up on the project as secondary mixes.

I bet Dhsu would make an awesome piano mix! I've been listening to Kong in Concert lately and love the part with him and SnappleMan.

...and, er... is it just me, or am I the only person who happens to think it's called "The Dream Is Endless"?

[KyleJCrb]

ToP rocks.

Yeah, I have the song, but I don't recall it being at the beginning of the SNES version. I thought it was only in the PS version.

EDIT: Huh. I guess it is. (http://www.altpop.com/stc/reviews/topdwnd.htm)

[Dahlia]

The PS Version messed up all the songs, sorta. I really like the original SPC versions way better. I can't say I've heard "Yume wa..." from the PS one though.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, the official ToP soundtrack only has the Playstation versions of the songs. The intro to Fighting of the Spirit is terrible, and they did kinda mess up some of the other songs, too.

[Dhsu]

Actually, Aviators would probably be easier...it's kind of growing on me now. :D But yes, I'd like to. The only problem is that I'll be overseas for the next two months, so it's unlikely I'd be able to work on anything during that time. If I don't have WIP's within the next couple days, feel free to give the spots to someone else (like Sir Nuts...it'd make an awesome dance track).

BTW, be sure to let me know if you plan to have anyone singing over my piece, because that could significantly change the way I arrange it (it'd be a little more karaoke style). ;)

[KyleJCrb]

So you want to do both tracks?

And anyone singing over your track is entirely at your discretion. It's up to you. ;)

[Dhsu]

So you want to do both tracks?
I'll work on both, but you don't need to reserve either of them.

And anyone singing over your track is entirely at your discretion. It's up to you. ;)
Takers, anybody? :D I might need to get in touch with Jill or Aurora sometime...

[Dahlia]

Oh yeah! I totally forgot you said I could take another track after a week or so if there were still any left. Oh well, I still have my secondary mix.

Glad to have you onboard, Dhsu!

[Arek the Absolute]

I regret to inform that I will be away from my household for at least two weeks. This will majorly hinder my chances on creating my remix...at least for right now. I give you all my greatest apologies in this matter. I hope that I will still be able to contribute to this great project when I get back home. I still will be able to view the forums, so I will keep in check with you all.
Sorry once again.

[Rexy]

Dhsu, if you do establish your songs, it's good to see you make it on this end of the project :D

And Usa, I managed to see into your fourth "baby WIP". Now I see where you're coming from with your changes of moods throughout the piece; somehow i'm of interest in seeing how much of it will go around. You may need to be a bit more cautious with your transitions from major to minor though; seemed to feel a little bit sudden here, although... yes, i know, it's a baby WIP O.o

Let's see this project keeping on moving, people!

[KyleJCrb]

2 weeks? You should still be good. ;) Thanks for letting me know, though.

[Usa]

You may need to be a bit more cautious with your transitions from major to minor though; seemed to feel a little bit sudden here, although... yes, i know, it's a baby WIP O.o

In fact, this is intentional, because this sudden change is there to reflect the suddenly and surprisingly changing mood when the party hears the explosion at the house to the southeast of Iselia. The part after that is there to reflect the mood of the banishment. I will extend this self-composed part, too.

[KyleJCrb]

Just a heads-up for everyone: I'm going to be gone from tomorrow morning until Sunday, maybe Monday. Pleae direct all of your questions to Lea during this time.

[ViludeMortiae]

I love you guys. ^^

I'm really looking forward to seeing the BT for this up sometime soon...
I never really got to play Tales of Phantasia but, I did get to play and win Tales of Symphonia. Smoooooooth.

"End of a thought" and "Fighting the Spirit" Better be fucking awesome...

Peace.

[Ichitootah]

Well, I heard that all the cool kids were posting their WIPs, so I decided to tag along.

http://www.soundclick.us/fastkG/09/05/freemp3/ichitootah+raineremixdemo.mp3

Comments/criticisms welcome. Keep in mind that I haven't spent much time on this so far and that it's a 1:02 demo, however.

[Mr. Fox]

Really good so far Ichi! I am digging this!!! :)
I fact, your arrengment is somewhat similar to the one I am doing for Moria Gallery... Nice work!!!

Question: What program do you use?

[Ichitootah]

Thanks :)

I use FL Studio... I've never even tried Reason, Cubase, Cakewalk, etc. but Fruity Loops has always worked well enough for me.

[Mr. Fox]

I see...
Shame our tracks are distant from each other, if they were close we could make one finish into the other...

[ViludeMortiae]

Holy SHIITE man, I'm really digging what you have Ichitootah. Really nice piano, btw. :wink:

Would be nice if I could hear it all...

[Dahlia]

Thanks :)

Don't bother! I have Cubase and Logic and STILL use FL5. Except when I'm gettin' into serious business. XD

[Sir_NutS]

Nice work Ichi, your arrangements are always charming.

[Master Link]

I see...

I think Kyle wouldn't mind changing the track-sequence. I suggest asking him when he returns. Or ask Lea about it. :P

Nice work Ichi!

I think Kyle wouldn't mind changing the track-sequence. I suggest asking him when he returns. Or ask Lea about it. :P

Considered it, but no go. I want to keep the tracks from each game seperate, and RTF's track is in Phantasia, while Ichi's is from Symphonia.

And with that, this is likely the last you'll hear from me (well, maybe one or two more times) this weekend, as I'll be gone. Try not to raise too much of a fuss or give Lea a hard time, okay?

[pu_freak]

It good to see that this project is working perfectly... (or so it seems). Seen many projects die and I hoped that this wouldn't end up like that. Many respect for you all guys. And like ViludeMortiae said, "Fighting of the Spirit" better be the best song I've ever heard! But with housethegrate on it, I have no doubt. ;)

Oh and finally ToP and ToS are equal again in number of tracks :D

[watkinzez]

The PS Version messed up all the songs, sorta. I really like the original SPC versions way better. I can't say I've heard "Yume wa..." from the PS one though.

The spc I have for "The Dream Will Never Die" is brilliant. In the section where the lyrics are supposed to be, are two sound effects consisting of a small dog barking and a doorbell ringing.

[ViludeMortiae]

Well now I'm angry because I blew my left sub.

Anyways.. I don't remember seeing a release date for this project... (If there is, I give you all permission to stab me in the eye.)
Is there a set date for release, or are we all just waiting til everyone sumbits their piece?

And just because I watched "Army of Darkness" last night...
"I'm blind, I'm blind. Ehhh.. :P"

[KyleJCrb]

The release date is "when it's done". :P I'm trying to work everyone as quickly as I can get them to work, so hopefully it won't take much longer than 6 months. (Although that's a little optimistic...)

watkinzez: Check SNESMusic.org.

Okay, NOW I'm gone.

^-^

My SPC file for that song does the same thing. It's hard to listen to. XD

...and 6 months? I know other projects have taken a really long time, but I can't really see why this would take so long with so many people on it. I don't think it's really worth all the time waiting for a couple really slow people, or unresponsive people if that sort of thing happens. I think the mixers here are capable of making a good song in less than two or three months, surely... Sir Nuts and Red Tailed Fox already have relatively long WIPs. A quick and decisive project workflow from beginning to end would be great!

[Hale-Bopp]

I want to take this opportunity to encourage everyone involved in the project to head on over to the official WIP forum (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/index.php).

It would be nice to be able to share detailed analysis of each track under its own thread for those interested in greater feedback within the group while keeping their songs spoil-free (away from the public's ear) until final release.

Since Kyle is away for now, I assume everyone involved should contact Lea for permission to enter the WIP portion of the forums.

[ViludeMortiae]

I wanna listen... :( I solemnly swear to never let another pupil or friend of mine listen to these sacred arrangements. If I do, I will place mine head under the pendulem of Doom.

I suppose begging won't help. :P

** My Birthday is Tomorrow.

[Kureejii Lea]

Since Kyle is away for now, I assume everyone involved should contact Lea for permission to enter the WIP portion of the forums.

Don't worry. Amidst my usual lurking, and now, apparent witchhunt-dodging, I'll see anyone's request for access to the WIP board there.

If you haven't already registered (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/index.php), get yer musical selves movin'! I spent a lot of time on those graphics and you WILL marvel at their shininess. Or, you know, just use the forums.

ViludeMortiae: ... patience? :wink:

[CC Ricers]

Cool...our own forums.

Does this mean that we get more freedom in showing our WIPs to other members of the project?

[Master Link]

I think so, no-one else can access those forums than members of the project.

[Dhsu]

Alright, good news and bad news.

Good news, the lovely pixietricks has agreed to collab with me on The Dream Will Not Die. :D

Bad news, we're both going overseas for the summer. :(

Is there any way you guys could extend the deadline until we get back if we promise we'll get it finished? ;) I actually have concepts for both "Dream..." and "Aviators," but haven't had a chance to get them recorded yet.

Pretty please? ^_^;;

[Arek the Absolute]

I would love that as well.....give me time to properly think out exaclty how I wish to execute the remix....
Ah hell, you all know I just wish to be lazy :P
Seriously though, since those two are trustworthy, I second his proposition....that is if this is a democracy

[Dahlia]

No! This is a dictatorship! Work faster, slaves!

[Usa]

No! This is a dictatorship! Work faster, slaves!

*LOL* You must be a desian to treat us this way!

[Kureejii Lea]

*cracks whip*

Well, Dhsu, I kinda look upon the WIP deadline just as something to ensure some kind of structure here - more or less, so people have something to aim for and won't procrastinate (hey, it's summer). We don't want things to fall apart and die here obviously. However though, since that deadline is only for the WIPs, and since you obviously have plans already made for your tracks, and since I can only assume that taking on a full-blown vocal collab shows dedication, I suppose we can't kill you if it extends beyond the WIP deadline. :wink: After all, people will still be working on their songs at that point. We just want to make sure everyone has got something to show by a certain point.

Dunno if Kyle would agree 100%, BUT HE'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW, IS HE? Muahahaha! If not, maybe the overall WIP date can be revised. However, again, it's only a deadline by which to show you have something in the works, not something completed, so no one should be feeling too much pressure just yet. :wink:

No one else better take this as an excuse to slack, though, lest I smite thee with Indignation. Yeah.

[PriZm]

If anybody could find any ToS wav samples (I heard it had excellent voice acting, and I'm pretty interested in that), it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

[Usa]

The spc I have for "The Dream Will Never Die" is brilliant. In the section where the lyrics are supposed to be, are two sound effects consisting of a small dog barking and a doorbell ringing.

Here is a recorded version I did for you all (http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~dlippert/YumeWaOwaranai.mp3) :)

But I have to admit, I like the PSX version more, for its clarity and the nice addition part. But I have to agree that most of the in-game musics are pretty unbalanced in comparison to the SNES OST's.

If anybody could find any ToS wav samples (I heard it had excellent voice acting, and I'm pretty interested in that), it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Should I record something for you?

[PriZm]

Should I record something for you?

That would be extremely appreciated. Since I'm doing the Final Destination mix, I would like the voice acting in the scene just before the final battle if that's possible (I don't even know if there's one).

Thanks in advance.

[Usa]

That would be extremely appreciated. Since I'm doing the Final Destination mix, I would like the voice acting in the scene just before the final battle if that's possible (I don't even know if there's one).

Oof...I'm not completely through the game yet, so I can't do that for you. At least not right now. I'm playing it with a friend on a more regular basis now so we might finish it soon. But I can say, the voice acting is pretty nice.

[Kureejii Lea]

Kyle may be able to get that for you when he comes back. There's even some banter during the final battle that you may want to use...

[ViludeMortiae]

IMO, To be honest, I hope those aren't the American voice samples you're planning on using, well, atleast I hope none with Collette, Genis or young Yggdrasil.
I find those to be the most annoying.
They did a good job with it nonetheless though.

Anything with Lloyd, Kratos, Sheena, Raine and older Yggdrasil would be pretty smooth... But I don't know how the openning sequence voice-overs for "Final Destination" would work with the mix overall.

Still a kick ass song either way, me thinks.

Just my .02.

In that case, you MUST use the speech samples from the final battle. They were used really well in the game (Lloyd and Yggdrasill exchanging comments while you fight), and would rock if you used them.

[Master Link]

Please, no Colette voice samples. I fucking HATE her voice.

I demand decapitation if you reply to this with "I will do my best.". ToS players know why.

[Usa]

Well, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... *hides underneath a desk*

You are doing it in Reason, right?!
Thats interesting.... very interesting indeed...

I'd agree with you there with the exception of Yggy's version of Judgement. He sounds pissed. :D

[KyleJCrb]

Wow...You guys post a lot. Okay, not really. It only took me like, 10 minutes to catch up! Slackers.

Alright! Let me get up to date here:

Dhsu: When do you and pixietricks plan on leaving, when are you coming back, and how fast can you work? :P

Actually, I trust you, since I wanted pixie on the project in some way, shape, or form from the very start, and Dhsu was one of the people who was on my mind when I was going through VGMix, looking for potential recruits. I think an extension in your case would be okay; perhaps you can PM me with some ideas you have or whatever, and that can count towards a "WIP" for the time being.

Soraya: Now do you understand why I said 6 months or more? :P

PriZm: I can record the entire final battle scene for you, though there tends to be some pops throughout recorded audio on my PC, for some reason.

As far as American voice samples: Yup. It's all I've got. :P Their voices aren't THAT bad, though. Sometimes Colette sounds like she's reading from a script, instead of making it natural, but overall, none of the voices are that terrible (and some are REALLY good).

Master Link: I will do my best.

EDIT: Oh yeah; alternate track selection will open soon, for those who are curious. I'm thinkin' within the next day or so.

[ViludeMortiae]

I currently post here on ocremix and my Ultima Online guilds forums. I love posting and giving my free thought on everything. It's fun.

I haven't played Tales of Symphonia in about six months or so, All I can really remember is the music and the sounds of everyones voice (overall, except the summons)
Always thought Presea and Sheena were pretty cute. :wink:

Anyways. Sometimes, yeah Collette.. just turned me off, with all her smiling and "I don't feel anything" yadda yadda. (Can we say dead fish?)
Kratos, Lloyd and Yggdrasil= Kick ass, Good for them. I would definately use them..

As for the Final Destination mix.. Lemme listen to the original real quick here...
Okay, now are you including "It can waver and fight(Yggdrasil, Mithos battle 1" along with "Final Destination (Mithos battle 2)" or are they both seperate mixes? If I remember correctly, there was some dialouge inbetween both pieces... if you're piecing these two together, I would make it all serious and jumpy, cinematic, sort of make it so everyone can use "imagery" to see the fight go one within their head... and so on. Not too classy that it sucks. But yeah. again, my .02.

[KyleJCrb]

The bits of It Can Waver that show up throughout Final Destination will be in PriZm's mix; I believe that PriZm has been in contact with Christian Pacaud (who's doing It Can Waver), and from what I can tell, they're going to see if they can tie them together, and connect them in some way. Don't quote me on that, though, since I can't speak for PriZm or Christian. :P

As far as dialogue, I'll just turn off the music, and play through and record the entire fight. PriZ can pick and choose from there what he wants to use.

[Dahlia]

It won't take six months if Lea keeps it up with her righteous and well-deserved whip cracking! Vacation?

Vacations are for the weak!



^-^

Hey, you better watch out, because I'm the one who's been doing the whip cracking around here. Not that Lea isn't perfectly capable, but y'know... :P

[PriZm]

PriZm: I can record the entire final battle scene for you, though there tends to be some pops throughout recorded audio on my PC, for some reason.


cool thanks

[KyleJCrb]

I'll try to EQ the pops out, but I can't guarantee it'll be completely clean...

[ViludeMortiae]

Ah, well this is starting to sound more productive every day I read up on this thread. :D
Christian Pacaud is a god amongst otherworldly things IMO.

That would be really nice if PriZm and Christian could tie them together some how. Would make it very cinematic.

[ViludeMortiae]

All Hail PriZm!
*bows deeply*

Great. That's just awesome. I can't wait til you guys release a WIP... or better yet, finish this project totally.

Also looking forward to some more kick ass mixes from you.

[Orion_Black]

Right, I'd get a sample of what I can do, but my microphone sucks and doesn't record my voice very well.
I'll have to wait until I find a decent mic to use.

[Arek the Absolute]

One week until I arive back home.
Still sorry for the inconvenience.

[KyleJCrb]

Inconvenience? You've still got over a month to get something to me, so don't be worrying about it at all.

[KyleJCrb]

Alternate track selection is now OPEN! For reference, here are the rules for alternate tracks and how they work. I'm expecting a pretty big change for the direction of this project.

Lea and I just discussed this, and I think it's something that could make the people who want to do a track not listed on the project right now happy. What we've come up with is this: If you have already claimed or are planning to claim ONE song (those who currently have two tracks selected are exempt from this) for this project, then, once the track list is completely filled and all of the current tracks are claimed, we will allow you to choose ONE extra song not currently listed to remix for the project. If you decide that you can't do the extra track, it will be removed completely, with no chance of getting picked up by anybody else. This rule will go not go into effect until all of the main tracks listed are claimed by at least one person; reason being that we want to get what currently have filled up first, before we start adding things. Hopefully this might convince some of you to try and get some other people on board to fill up the list. Also, you must guarantee that you will ABSOLUTELY finish both of the tracks.

We're not trying to declare open season on the entire soundtracks of both of these games. This is just a compromise we have decided to make for those who wanted to do something that's not currently listed. One of our goals with this project is to still keep it maintainable and reasonable. We don't want to get overly ambitious.

As I explained in the first post of this thread, more than one person is able to claim a song. The song that ultimately makes it onto the project, out of the multiple remixes of the same track, will be decided on by myself and Lea. If our opinions either conflict or we agree that both of the remixes are good, we will put forth a voting procedure in which the people who are involved with the project will decide which version of the song will be on the final product (the voting is the likely scenario). In the case of a person who has claimed both a track currently listed and an alternate unlisted track going up against someone else; the alternate track will still be put on the project, regardless of the outcome of the coordinator/voter decision on the listed track.

Post here or tell me in a PM what alternate track you'd like to remix, if any. Here we go!

[Rexy]

Oh man, I still need to pass Prizm my mix to tie him into that and all O.o

[pu_freak]

Is this the time for all of us to start shouting what songs we want in this project? :P j/k

[Dahlia]

Yes. Yes, it is!

[Mr. Fox]

Just for you guys to have a quick look in what I've been digin up so far: :D

http://www.savefile.com/filehost/files.php?fid=6247665

Just a few things:

1 - It is still a farily rough take.
2 - Flute in 2:06 sound a bit dry, I know, that will be fixed.
3 - The arrengment may seem concluded, but it's not, I fact it's far from it.
4 - It's hard to addmit this, but I think it's the hardest song I have ever arranged.

Hope you guys enjoy what I have so far! :D

[KyleJCrb]

Oh man, I still need to pass Prizm my mix to tie him into that and all O.o

Did you come up with a title yet?

And I'm guessing nobody wants to pick up an extra song...?

[Hybrid_Demon]

The Tales games have some of the best music I have ever heard. My favourite song would probably be "Be Absentminded." It's so deep.

[Orion_Black]

Oh man, I still need to pass Prizm my mix to tie him into that and all O.o

Did you come up with a title yet?

And I'm guessing nobody wants to pick up an extra song...?
What song is left? I might try and conjure something up.

[KyleJCrb]

No no no, there are no songs left. I'm talking about the rule of alternate songs, back on page 26. ;)

[Dahlia]

Oh man, I still need to pass Prizm my mix to tie him into that and all O.o

Did you come up with a title yet?

And I'm guessing nobody wants to pick up an extra song...?

I'd love to and most likely will! But I won't make it official yet so I can be 100% sure to finish both in time. I intend to be finished all songs by the WIP date. ^-^

[KyleJCrb]

Well, I intend on making the second WIP due date on September 1st, and then working down incrementally from there (two weeks, then maybe several one week dates...Not sure about three weeks yet, but we'll see how people are progressing), as songs are completed. So you have time after this date. There's no rush, but if you can complete the songs, that's great!

[KyleJCrb]

I'm going to be starting round 2 of check-ins and status updates (with those who signed up for the project more recently) here very soon. These people will be receiving some form of contact from me within the next few days:

Hemophiliac
Norrin Radd
KungFuChicken!
Bladiator and GrayLightning

Unless you can get to me first, that is. :P

[The Dual Dragons]

Is the Track List locked or may a few more tunes be added to the list?..
I have a tune remixed thats not on the list that kinda Chain the titles together in a more spesific way as its the ending tunes of both games..

[Rexy]

Oh man, I still need to pass Prizm my mix to tie him into that and all O.o

Did you come up with a title yet?

And I'm guessing nobody wants to pick up an extra song...?
Obviously I can't do an extra song being at home all Summer. Yes, yes, I know I rendered a MIDI mix for PRC44 but that was with Anvil Studio - pretty tedious stuff. O.o

As for the title, the sample showed that the tentative name is just simply "Summoning of Spirits". If I somehow come up with a better one before the project is up I'll state it here, but if not... i'll probably keep this one ;)

[Mr. Fox]

Yes! I am not even sure you have some of the words they used in the English vocabulary!!!

PS: Did you guys liked the WIP?

[Arcana]

I'm going to be starting round 2 of check-ins and status updates (with those who signed up for the project more recently) here very soon. These people will be receiving some form of contact from me within the next few days:

Arcana

Unless you can get to me first, that is. :P

Sorry, I'm a slacker. :( I haven't started yet, I got a load of work dumped on me this week. The intention was to work on it this weekend. It usually takes me about a week to come up with a decent completed first draft. Plus I'm new to this all, so mine should take longer than most others to reach a good level of quality.

[KyleJCrb]

Not a problem, Arcana. I'm not expecting WIPs from everybody at this point; just a quick status update. ;)

Hmmm, odd. I wonder if all of ne0-net got hacked. :lol: Oh well. New website is at http://talesproject.kylejcrb.com anyway, so it doesn't matter to me. Hopefully the new one is safe, though... (EDIT: This is weird. The rest of my old site is still there! I guess telling people you've moved makes it susceptible to hackers.)

As for everything else; I've said it time and time again. THE CURRENT TRACK LIST IS LOCKED. The ONLY way you're going to get any extra songs onto the project at this point is by being signed up for something already on the list (which is also full), and by taking advantage of the extra song rule outlined in the first post (and on pages 14 and 26). Also, there will be absolutely no changes to the first and last tracks of each part of the project; the intro and ending themes are FINAL. That is all.

[Dahlia]

You can go to some hacker forum or something and find a security exploit and run a couple programs and then the site/forums are yours. That's why it's good to always update your browser/PHP thing/server/whatever!

Fox, you already know what I think of your WIP! ^^ It's awesome! But I'm gonna listen to this one just in case it's updated from what I heard.

Arcana, I like that you take a good amount of time to plan your work. I never start working until I have the whole structure in my head too, at least when it's something serious or bigger.

Glad you're doing check-ins, Kyle! It'll probably keep things going smoothly if everyone hears from you. (I might slack off and need a check-in in a few weeks, too. XD)

[Sir_NutS]

oh taht was the old site? oops
fixed link.

[The Dual Dragons]

Hey, heres a short demo on "Sheena Theme" that I recently began to ReMix and that I may Finish as a Remix for this project..

Sheena Theme Demo (http://www.lunarheart-domain.com/Music/SheenaTheme.mp3)

[KyleJCrb]

Your composition isn't bad, but one of the drums sounds very flat and dry.

And dang; that's a lot of remixes of one theme we have going. :?

[Arcana]

Not a problem, Arcana. I'm not expecting WIPs from everybody at this point; just a quick status update. ;)

Hmmm, odd. I wonder if all of ne0-net got hacked. :lol: Oh well. New website is at http://talesproject.kylejcrb.com anyway, so it doesn't matter to me. Hopefully the new one is safe, though... (EDIT: This is weird. The rest of my old site is still there! I guess telling people you've moved makes it susceptible to hackers.)

You should still fix the old site so that visitors on old links don't think you've been owned by hackers and that the project is dead.

[Mr. Fox]

Fox, you already know what I think of your WIP! ^^ It's awesome! But I'm gonna listen to this one just in case it's updated from what I heard.


It`s sounding better then the one I sent you! :D

[pu_freak]

Hey if somebody IS planning on doing an extra song, it would be great is someone would do "Triumph" from ToP. That's right, the Castle tune (it isn't that hard to do, I'm actually planning on ReMixing itself one day... right now I lack a decent keyboard to remix and being able to play it on the piano doesn't really make a ReMix now does it ;) ).

Anyway, I know all of you are busy and such, but if somebody would choose this one for their alternate song I would be most grateful.

Keep up the good work guys!

[Dahlia]

Lunar, nice WIP! The percussion is pretty cool. The snare really is way too dry though! I really like the plucked instrument that appears in the last few seconds. Hope to hear more! (What a battle it'll be, between the Sheena's Theme contenders...)

Triumph is a really great song. I just got 3/4 through Star Ocean 1 and I'm starting to like Sakuraba more and more. (Though I've been a fan for years!) I'd like to do that, but I already have my alternate song partially composed. I hope somebody else will do Triumph too.

Still awesome, Fox! I liked the old title better though. XD

PS: Has there been any word from Eric Dude, Kyle? I love Desolate Road and would like to hear from him on here. ^^

[KyleJCrb]

I talk to Eric most every day. Currently trying to get him to stop procrastinating, :P. He has some ideas for the song, though.

I'm still amazed nobody has stepped up and officially claimed a second song; a lot of people were talking about it before, but I didn't want to do anything before they made it official. Anyone? Anyone?

[Dahlia]

Well, since you said when you claim a second track you have to absolutely guarantee that you will complete both tracks, (a good policy) people might be waiting to get enough work done on their original track to make sure both will be done in a reasonable time. I know that's what I'm doing. ^^

[Mr. Fox]

I am not sure... I want to do some other song, but Moria Gallery is still taking a lot of time and effort from me, so I won't choose anything before I am done with that.

Maybe paople are in the same situation as I am... And hey, don't worry. The project already has a the best choices of the game :) , whatever "extra" comes in now is pure profit. Let the option open, let's see what happens...

Soraya: Daaaamn XD Anyway, if you want, PM (or use MSN) to tell me what do you think is worse than the one I sent you!!!

[Dahlia]

Nono, I think it was just the old title that was better! ^-^

[Mr. Fox]

Hahahaha!!! In fact this was a mistake of mine.

The song will be called "Riddles in the Dark", but my very first title choice was "Steel Under Rock", I named the Reason file after that name and every time I export the song as an MP3 file it comes out called "Steel Under Rock" but the tittle will be "Riddles in the Dark". Reference to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit

I think "Riddles in the Dark" is better, but I am terrible with names (just check out my other mixes for proof - and NO the mispelling on my Super Mario RPG was NOT my choice, it was a stupid mistake :D ) so I might changed it...

[KyleJCrb]

NEWS: Luiza has officially teamed up with CarboHydroM on the track "Fatalize". Rock on!

[Dahlia]

The ranks are at last complete, let the rocking begin! ^-^

[CC Ricers]

Hey, heres a short demo on "Sheena Theme" that I recently began to ReMix and that I may Finish as a Remix for this project..

Sheena Theme Demo (http://www.lunarheart-domain.com/Music/SheenaTheme.mp3)

Are you by any chance rubbler, my arch competitor? :P

[KyleJCrb]

Are you by any chance rubbler, my arch competitor? :P

Haha, nope, I think I can confirm that. Rubbler plays guitar and does rock stuff. :P

[The Dual Dragons]

Lunar, nice WIP! The percussion is pretty cool. The snare really is way too dry though!^^

haha indeed!.. the drums arent mixed at all, and I havent really mixed anything, since its just a short demo.. I just started on the tune..
Glad you like it though :D

[KyleJCrb]

If anybody I talked to during the last check-in has made any progress and reads this (or if I haven't talked to you yet), please check in with me and update me on what you're doing. If I don't hear from you, you'll be on the list of people for round two check-ins. This will be a check for EVERYONE, not just a small group or a part of the list of those involved, like it was last time. That way I can even out the list and check with everyone each time it's check-in time.

I know that probably made absolutely no sense, but I know what I said, so that's all that matters. :P

There's also some potentially big big BIG news coming up, so stay tuned!

[Sir_NutS]

There's also some potentially big big BIG news coming up, so stay tuned!
OMG Dj Pretz will join zomg!

[KyleJCrb]

Haha, not quite THAT big...But it is possibly pretty damn big news. :P

[OverCoat]

More people need to use Kyle's forum. I really need to get some feedback on my song and give critique to others. Right now this thread is too big and confusing for me :P

[Dahlia]

Since the site isn't working for me right now, I'll just say it here!

That's a pretty interesting song! It's creepy in a way and really brings out how frightening it'd be to wander around in a mysterious and ancient civilization with robotic computer voices calling out to you. I really like the concept of the song you came up with. Makes me think of ToP survival horror, but with scary robots instead of zombies. XD Or maybe Thorian zombies!

Since I thought the production was great, I'll just express a few personal preferences about what could be added or changed.

I liked how it ended, with the little percussion part. It'd be cool if you extended that and made it fade out slowly, and after it was almost gone it could do the sort of "technical crash/wind-down" thing anyway, really loud. Throughout it felt like I was lost in the technical sounds, which has a cool effect, but a little more timbral and pacing variation would really add to the mix. If there were some spacey, slower part in the middle. It'd be cool if a very clear chime-type noise appeared with the main melody somewhere either above or deep inside the chaos of the song. For a contrasting effect! Actually, in the whole first minute I expected some hyper-fast breakbeat to emerge. Your percussion was pretty cool! Reminded me of Battery 2, which I use. The synth that appears at 2:25 could be just a tad bit quieter.

So, that was just me rambling my thoughts. You don't have to take it seriously! XD

[OverCoat]

Ok. I was worried that the big climax part would hurt peoples' ears :)

[Usa]

Hey!

Sorry for the long time it took me to post here, but I got a lot of work to do in the recent days so I wasn't able to spend much time on the project. I am preparing for going to Germany soon because I planned to use my free time from studying to go there and play with the orchestra. It will be July 15. until August 09. During this time I will not be able to do anything for the project, but after that I think there's enough time for me to finish things

For the second song: It's the same as for many other people here. I haven't made my mind up on what song I should choose as a second one. I also want the first one finished before I start with the second one. At the moment I'm not sure whether one of those three songs I should do:

Harmonious Moment (ToP)
Rovers (ToS)
Desert Flower (ToS)
Search A Seal ~ Sylvarant (ToS)

Oh yeah, and Silas already started on his contribution, as well. It will be a drum 'n' bassy track with heavy electric guitar :) I'm really looking forward to it, so is he.

[Dahlia]

*ahem*

Harmonious Moment please! ^^

Have fun on your trip, Usa!

[KyleJCrb]

Hey Usa, thanks for the update. :)

[OverCoat]

Harmonious Moment is a nice little tune. I'm not sure about the ToS soundtrack. I've played the game but only to the Water Spirit [I'm guessing that's not very far in] and it was a long while ago so I'm not familiar with ToS's soundtrack much.

[Usa]

Harmonious Moment is a nice little tune. I'm not sure about the ToS soundtrack. I've played the game but only to the Water Spirit [I'm guessing that's not very far in] and it was a long while ago so I'm not familiar with ToS's soundtrack much.

If you played it to the water spirit you should have heard all three songs I was talking about. I am right now on my way to the Tower of Mana.

[OverCoat]

I may have heard the songs but I seriously don't remember any of the melodies.

[KyleJCrb]

http://www.midishrine.com/index.php?id=150

[Sir_NutS]

Sorry but I haven't got off my lazy ass to do something else for the project, or anything else heh.
But I did gave a WIP uh? :P Don't worry people I will finish it, eventually.

[CPacaud]

What's up with people calling me a god all of a sudden !? :lol:

Thanks ViludeMortiae :P


AND, I've finally started working on Kratos. Yay. Orchestral.

[Usa]

http://www.midishrine.com/index.php?id=150

*lol* Is it just me or are all those MIDI files running on hyper speed?

[Dahlia]

What's up with people calling me a god all of a sudden !? :lol:

Thanks ViludeMortiae :P


AND, I've finally started working on Kratos. Yay. Orchestral.

Probably cause' your Secret of Mana mix rocked!

[CPacaud]

Ahh, but to be fair, ktriton played a big role in there too, so I guess that makes me a demi-god or something like that :P. Anyway, hopefully the next remixes will be up to the hype !

[Arek the Absolute]

I am so sorry for having to say this, but I must withdraw myself from this project. Certain events have come up which hold me from having any time to actually make this remix. Though I still can post, I will not be able to finish any part of the remix. I give you my deepest apologies on this matter.

Once again, I am sorry for withdrawing and causing you the trouble of finding another person to replace my mix. I can, however, work on it if I am allowed a months extension. I just really do not wish to burdon you all with this wait :(

[KyleJCrb]

Not a problem, Arek. It's still plenty early in the projects' lifespan, and hopefully it shouldn't be too much trouble to find anyone to pick up "Beat The Angel" with the time left. Thanks for letting us know! :)

[Arek the Absolute]

I still feel really terrible :?
What is worse is that I just started to create a new project. I am hoping noone thinnks that the only reason why I left this was to work on that. I really wanted these two projects to sort of back each other up if there was something wrong or if something needed a quick fix. Damn, I feel even worse now :(

[KyleJCrb]

It's not a problem. Things happen to come up, and sometimes they're uncontrollable. I went into this project with that in mind, so I'm well aware that people would run into more important things, and they wouldn't be able to finish. I'm perfectly fine with that, so don't let it get to you. ;)

[Dahlia]

Yeah, don't worry about it Arek! All sorts of things come out of nowhere. I hope you'll end up finding the time anyway!

[Arek the Absolute]

Thanks guys for understanding. If all this rolls over, I hope that you guys will still allow me to do the remix.
Also, I want to talk to you Kyle about certain "things". I will pm you sometime tomorrow.
Thanks again for understanding. You all rock so much.

[KyleJCrb]

We'll see how the project progresses in the coming months. If we need people, we'll gladly allow you back in. ;)

[Arcana]

I'm still a slacker and haven't gotten to my track. Argh. Too busy doing other things. I will make a point of getting you SOMETHING before July 23, even if it's it's a stupid 16-bar long improv.

[KyleJCrb]

http://www.midishrine.com/index.php?id=150

*lol* Is it just me or are all those MIDI files running on hyper speed?

I suppose I could respond to this, eh? They play fine for me.

It's not a problem, Arcana. You're not the only person who hasn't started, if that makes you feel better. :P

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

I'm working on profiles (http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/profiles/hatchet.html) for everyone involved with the project, which will all eventually look something like that page (ignoring the broken images and links, of course. Those will be fixed). If you have one available, I'll need a picture of you, and I'll also need your real name, birthdate, current location, web site (if you have one), and where to find your other arrangements. The Biography section is optional, but strongly recommended.

For those that have already done this in the PMs I've sent out, no need to worry about it here. Also, if you don't want to make this information public on this forum (I don't know why not; it's going to be on the site :P) PM me with it. Thanks!

[Arek the Absolute]

No one escapes!

I mean, welcome back!

[KyleJCrb]

Quick heads-up: Project page (http://kylejcrb.com/talesproject) has had quite a few updates! Go check out all the new stuff, and admire the Musician Profiles. ;)

[Sir_NutS]

Gotta get back to you with my profile :wink:

[Arcana]

I'll submit a profile only after I give you a WIP track. Seriously bug me once in a while and post here and say, "SO ARCANA WHERE'S YOUR TRACK?" It's motivating, really. >_>

[Dahlia]

So, Arcana. Where's your track? ^-^

I guess I should give up some information for my profile thing, huh...

[Arcana]

It's in E Major, but there are various harmonic functions in it that can be misleading. I'll look at it more later when I have some time. ^^

The tonic is always descending chromatically, but otherwise, it's in E.

Dumb question. Is this actually correct? I had a look at it and it doesn't follow Eb Major very well. But then, it also doesn't fit into E major very well either.

I suppose the key question is - does it matter? Well, it REALLY helps if I know what key a song is in so when I write a harmony I don't totally mess it up. I grabbed the MIDI but haven't figured out the progression yet. Yeah I suck.

[Dahlia]

It's a bit tricky. For this piece you can't really say it's in one key or another, because there's no real established tonality. Actually, it was silly of me to say E major earlier, I'd definitely say E minor if anything. It won't follow any normal key signature though, because it's mostly chromatic.

First it starts with a chord on the first degree, which is all well and normal. Then, already it abandons the signature in favor of chromaticism, making the root descend a half-step from the first degree onto D#. You can see, from here it keeps moving downwards until it prepares itself for the half close cadence in the relative major, G. (IV-I) Then it starts over again.

The cadence at the end and the beginning chord lead me to believe it's in E minor with some simple chromatically descending patterns. An in-depth analysis might reveal that it's in a more obscure tonal mode and that all the harmonic progressions are valid within a particular tonality, but for now I'd just say it's heavily chromatic in Em/GM. ;p

The song could be difficult to manipulate, but if you prepared it correctly you could write plainly in G major or E minor after that cadence without it sounding too far from the actual song.

[Arek the Absolute]

I am having a remixer's block. I have no idea what to create this into. I have tried a full blown symphonic feel....only it doesn't feel right. I have tried some sort of techno ish feel.....doesn't feel right. ACH!!
Little help on what you think it should be like?

[Hale-Bopp]

I don't know what styles you're comfortable with or your experience with guitars, but I could hear it as a progressive rock/metal remix (especially with the double-kick drum madness going on in the middle). That's sort of the trend among some of the musicians already involved in the project so it would fit right in, in that respect.

[Dahlia]

Just off the top of my head, I'd be inclined to do speed metal, or maybe an organ solo piece. Or both in the same song.

Hey, now that I listen to it, I regret not having picked it to begin with! XD

I usually listen to something for quite a long time and examine the score before I really decide though. If you're going to compose a symphony, you first have to see if there are several recognizable themes with which to create a symphonic form. Or if you were making a passacaglia, you'd have to see if the melody lent itself well to four bar variation in multiple voices.

It really is up to you, though! Remember if you're able to/decide to compose rock or metal, you've got a bunch of guitarists willing to record for you! It's a pretty cool song, there's a lot you could do with it. ^^

I'd love to hear a great variety of genres in this project so we can make albums that are constantly exciting in the "What's coming next!?" sort of way.

[Arek the Absolute]

Hmm....
HMM...
I am in a sort of garage band. I suppose I could recreate the song into a sort of song similar to Beyond lightspeed (http://www.ocremix.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR01023).
You just got my inspirational juices all flowin!

[Dahlia]

If you leave those harpsichord runs out, I'll keeeeeeeeel you!!!

[KyleJCrb]

Hale-Bopp is once again reading my mind. It definitely has that progressive sound, despite being symphonic. Hmmm...

[Arcana]

It's a bit tricky. For this piece you can't really say it's in one key or another, because there's no real established tonality. Actually, it was silly of me to say E major earlier, I'd definitely say E minor if anything. It won't follow any normal key signature though, because it's mostly chromatic.

The song could be difficult to manipulate, but if you prepared it correctly you could write plainly in G major or E minor after that cadence without it sounding too far from the actual song.

If there's reasonable agreement that there's no established tonality then I'll simply work with the chromaticism and see what I can come up with. Since I'm still new to all of this, and my music theory knowledge is pretty basic, I like to build harmony using chord tones, basic progressions, and some basic non-harmonic tones. This (along with the Ultima 8 soundtrack in OCR Idol) would be my first rather deep plunge into the realm of music with no real established tonality. I'm probably in the minority by doing this, but I like to analyse what I'm remixing before I actually start adding stuff to it.

There's not a lot here in terms of a melody, so I might incorporate bits from "Unicorn", which uses a variation of the melody from Martel.

[KyleJCrb]

There's not a lot here in terms of a melody, so I might incorporate bits from "Unicorn", which uses a variation of the melody from Martel.

Interestingly, Unicorn was actually originally on the list of possible tracks before Martel's theme was. I guess I should've brought up the similarities before...

Oh, and you probably noticed this, but Martel's theme isn't the last song anymore. ;)

[Dahlia]

Well, the half-cadence and opening chord give it a sense of E minor, but the song just doesn't follow any of the accidentals. You could construct your own chromatic patterns, but try to think of E as your tonic even in all the semitone madness! ^^

Oh yeah! Here, some profile information...

Real Name: Fukuyama Sorahiko
Birthday (Age): December 18th, 1984
Location: Vancouver, B.C., Canada
Project Position: Musician
Web Site: In the works. ^^

Not too exciting, but at least the slots won't all be blank!

[KyleJCrb]

Almost 500 replies and 9000 views...What the heck? 8O

[Dahlia]

This project is so popular!

[KyleJCrb]

And people are already making a ton of progress on their remixes, too. I expected the other two projects here (SDB and SSF2, SSF2 in particular) to take off and be a lot more popular than this one... Quite frankly, I'm surprised, and glad that it's working out so well.

I know I probably haven't said it enough, but thanks to everyone for really taking this project beyond what I expected. Interestingly enough, I started this project expecting the usual things to happen; a lot of people dropping out, flame war on page 30, arguments all over the place, drama, and all that stuff that usually comes along with projects. Incredibly, all of that has been almost non-existant, so we're all doing a great job. :)

[Mr. Fox]

Thanks to YOU Kyle,, you started all this dude:

http://www.savefile.com/filehost/files.php?fid=6247665

Here it is, the update of my WIP! Soraya, if you don't coment, I shall challange you to a swordfight, I there I shall destroy you... :wink:

Here goes my profile information:

Name: Caio Moraes Ferreira
Place: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Birth: 19/02/88 (17)
Place in the Project: Musician
Site: none yet =)

PS: I already decided my extra song. I am settling the arrengments to start working on it. More on that in AIM.

[Dahlia]

The opening is so majestic, with the stately piano chords. It's an exciting feeling and serves as a good exposition of the main theme. The dynamic on the piano are very nice. The transition from the opening material to the section with the drums works really well, and I like how the piano part is handled with the strings playing the melody.

When it changes again at 2:06... ahh, I can't decide whether I like the old version with the woodwinds playing that part or the new one! They're both good! The snare part suddenly coming in is a little disconcerting, you wonder what's going on, and then at 2:24 it all makes sense! Really cool interpretation of the song here, and the drums are great! The bass could be a little louder, cause' I love bass. ^^ I wish this section was longer!

Okay, this is the interesting part. I was really wondering where you'd go next, but I didn't expect something this clever. At first it sounds smooth and flowing. All is well... but then the dissonances are slowly introduced, and it becomes more frantic-sounding. People who played through the lower levels of the Moria Gallery might remember the music began to sound really weird near the end. I think it was to give the effect of, "You've been down here so long, so deep, with these horrible things, you're slowly going mad." I'm glad you remembered that and included it! The only problem is that people who haven't played Phantasia might not understand, so you might want to clear up the dissonance in a relatively short time. Actually, I'd suggest making it even more unsettling for a few moments just to give the listeners the feeling that something is really wrong. ^^ I can see this new section being really cool, so keep at it!

[CPacaud]

Hey Arcana, if you need help with analyzing Martel's theme, I could get the chords for you. Out of the blue, I'd say it's just ii-V-I with substitutions and stuff. It's definitely not random, anyway.

[Arcana]

I'm in the process of sitting down with it and working it out. I'm no music theory expert but I could honestly use the practice. If you have an interpretation for me, do feel free to share but do not feel obligated to do so.

[CPacaud]

Heh, well I did it anyway :P.

CMaj7/E - B7b9 - D/A - Bbdim7 - Amin7 - B7 - Bdim - G7sus4->G7

The tonality definitely is *snare roll!*
C Major !!!

Yay for Sakuraba messing with our minds.

[KyleJCrb]

A great reason for us to both love and hate the man for his awesome, yet sometimes strange, music. :lol:

[OverCoat]

Thank god Abyss of Thor wasn't that confusing :P

[Dahlia]

Heh, well I did it anyway :P.

CMaj7/E - B7b9 - D/A - Bbdim7 - Amin7 - B7 - Bdim - G7sus4->G7

The tonality definitely is *snare roll!*
C Major !!!

Yay for Sakuraba messing with our minds.

That interpretation is much more understandable than mine! Actually, I didn't hear the C in the first chord, so I took the last two chords as being IV - I in G. I have failed and must accept my shame by permanently resigning from OCR! And the whole internet!

[KyleJCrb]

The profile pages are coming along. I still need information from a couple people, so submit your info ASAP! And of course, keep working on those tracks and sending me those WIPs. :)

[CPacaud]

Haha, no, it was quite confusing, and I'm still not that sure about the D/A. Hey, BTW, posted my WIP on the project website boards. Would it be a better idea to post it here if I want feedback ? :P

[KyleJCrb]

If you don't mind making your WIP public, you might get more feedback here. Or I can just do this; Go check out the forums (http://kylejcrb.com/forum), guys!

EDIT: I just noticed that this project has a lot Canadians, and a lot of people from outside of the US in general, involved. Pretty neat. :)

[Sir_NutS]

I like the atmosphere of this project. It has a calm aura.

But enough with the hippie talk, I was working on my mix yesterday but was too tired to render a demo so I went to sleep. I might give out a new wip soon for you all, with more chilly goodness ^_^

[Arcana]

And you wanted to confuse Shnabubula with your odd atonality and weird key modulations!

The first chord was definitely a C. That's about as far as I got before I had to do other things. ;)

[pu_freak]

Very nice WIP Fox! Like Soraya said, you brought back the distorted feeling from the lower levels of Moria (and isn't that the whole point, to bring back the feeling?).

And Usa, you should deside for yourself which alternate you want *cough* Harmonious Moment * cough*

[Dahlia]

I like the atmosphere of this project. It has a calm aura.

You don't need to sleep, man. Just feel your inner energy flowing around you, and replenish you soul with the absolute calmness!

I'm gonna go take a nap now.

And yay! You switched Celcius for Arche. My turn. :P
