Tales Series: Summoning of Spirits - History

[Dahlia]

Hey, nobody knows what's going on in hippies' minds! XD

[KyleJCrb]

A quick note: Neither Lea nor I will be around the thread much for the next couple days. I will still be checking it from time to time though, so don't get too outta line! :P

[Mr. Fox]

YEAH! ANARCHY!!!! LET"S BREAK EVERYTHING!!!!! HAHAHA.... :lol: :wink:

Ok dadyyyyyyy... we will all be good boys and girls... =)

[KyleJCrb]

YEAH! ANARCHY!!!! LET"S BREAK EVERYTHING!!!!! HAHAHA.... :lol: :wink:

I'm waiting for this, actually. We need to start acting like all of the rock and metal songs that are going to be on this project, not the light orchestral and ambient ones! :P

[Dahlia]

*Rips apart a hotel room*

[KyleJCrb]

*listens to a MIDI of a certain 12 minute song for the project*

This is going to be awesome. ;)

[OverCoat]

12 minutes? Well, I'm not about to be outdone. Hmph!

Anyways, Kyle, I sent a PM your way detailing my profile page and such. Plus a cool picture! You guys will all admire my picture, dammit!

Anyways, I'll start on Mid Galds soon. Hemo's a bit busy, so he said I should start it off. Here's to another so-fucking-demented awesome-hardcore song!

[Dahlia]

I'm with you Overcoat!

[ViludeMortiae]

Actually, I've enjoyed everything Christian has had released.

Anyways. I just got back from Las Vegas. Got to see the Blue Man Group live at Luxor with my lovely, beautiful girlfriend who bought me the tickets for my birthday... Which was just AWESOME. Had a really great time...

Anyways. I was hoping this project would be done already. :P Just kidding.. lol

Anyways, was hoping there would be some WIP's I could check out sometime soon?

[KyleJCrb]

Hunt through the last few pages of the thread. There's some WIPs around.

Oh, and for the curious, the VG music community's resident live instrument contest, the Dwelling of Duels (http://dod.vgmix.com/), featured an arrangement from Tales of Symphonia this month. It was a joke entry, since it's pretty rough, and far from finished, but Crimson plans on completing it eventually. Check it out here (http://www.vgmix.com/song_view.php?song_id=4202), and check out the rest of the entries, too!

EDIT: Updated the link to the song to the newer version.

[OverCoat]

When are you gonna add my bio? :P

[Dahlia]

If you trash a hotel room he'll do it right away!

[KyleJCrb]

Did you miss the part where I said I'd be missing most of the time throughout today and this weekend, SOC? :P I'm here for about two more seconds...Oop, gotta go!

[OverCoat]

YES?!?!? :P

well I didn't think it'd be now, but ok.

[KyleJCrb]

All right, since it's 5 AM, I'm bored as hell, and I can't sleep anymore, I went and updated almost every profile. Links to peoples' arrangements on the major remix sites are now functional, and some of the more recent information I received has been added. Yay, or something.

[Arek the Absolute]

It is five A.M and I haven't gotten a lick of sleep for over 72 hours. Profile will be submitted shortly.

[Rexy]

Dude, I've been gone for so long and there's Bios here? If I have time i'll see if I could work on mine ;)

[KyleJCrb]

Well, I figured I might as well get started early on all this stuff. I expect some people to drop out, so switching out remixers won't be that big of a deal.

[Rexy]

Kyle, you know I've finished a song for the project ;) what makes you think I'd quit now?

[KyleJCrb]

Oh, I know you won't quit, Rexy. I'd have to hurt you, because your song is too good. :P

I was just explaining why I'm trying to get all of this stuff done so quickly (with having remixer profiles at this stage in the project, and etc. etc.). :P I'm working on adding some new updates right now to the pages right now, by the way.

And yes, I am now back.

[Dahlia]

Welcome back! You missed the wild weekend when Djp got raging drunk and messed up all the servers!

Or in reality, ZTNet got drunk and messed up the servers. Whatever. XD

[KyleJCrb]

Hehe, I heard about that.

In other news, that 12 minute arrangement is up over at the WIP forums (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/index.php). Go check it, and the rest of WIPs, out, and leave your comments!

[Sir_NutS]

Good news, my song is almost done. I exported an almost final version yesterday (It still need a last section that I think will last about 40 seconds) but couldn't upload it because I was tired as hell and went to sleep. But I think I'll be able to upload a "Final" version tonight. Depending on the comments I get I will work on it more. Anyways, just an update.

[KyleJCrb]

Great to hear it, NutS. A ton of progress has been made all around these last several days, so keep it up, everyone!

[Dahlia]

I was just thinking, the Judges should probably be given access to the WIP forum so that they can assess the progress of the project as it goes on. ^^ (You know, for the big move to Site Projects down the line.)

[KyleJCrb]

I was just thinking, the Judges should probably be given access to the WIP forum so that they can assess the progress of the project as it goes on. ^^ (You know, for the big move to Site Projects down the line.)

DarkeSword is the guy who assesses projects to see if they are worthy of being put into Site Projects (I put in my case for the project last night, in fact, so it might be moving soon), and since he's already a remixer on the project anyway, he will of course be getting access.

[KyleJCrb]

Here's the big news that's been at least a week in the making:

Three of the current Gods of Guitar (there's quite a few these days :P) in the VG remix community, PriZm, housethegrate, and Ashane, are to collaborate on The Law of the Battle. As if this project wasn't metal enough already...

No way. There's plenty of boom shick to accompany yours. I hope.

[CPacaud]

They better ASK ME TO PLAY BASS on that track. *ahem*

[KyleJCrb]

That's a damn good idea, actually. Run it by PriZm. ;) A huge collab of the community's rock gods? This just keeps getting better and better.

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

I was planning on rerecording my guitar work on my song, but I broke four of my fingers. They aren't horrible fractures, but they are there, and I am not sure how long it will take them to heal. But don't fret, I'm sure if won't take long. :wink:

[Mr. Fox]

I currently paused my Morias Gallery remix to work a little bit on my alternate song (and I am completely addicted to it), I will be handling a WIP over here real soon.

I am really busy with school, but by the 15 of this month I will be on vacations then I will have plenty of time to finish my two mixes.

[DarkeSword]

SoS has demostrated forward momentum and progress in the past few weeks. As such, it has been moved to Site Projects.

Keep the momentum going!

Kyle and Lea have been given Project Coordinator status in this forum; as such, they are able to moderate this thread.

Also, to everyone, keep in mind: this isn't UnMod or GD, so no messing around. Don't use this thread for personal, irrelevant conversations; this is a project thread dedicated to the project. Lets keep it that way.

Carry on.

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

Site projects? RAWK.

[KyleJCrb]

Yes! Summoning of Spirits is now an official OCR Site Project! Thanks, DarkeSword. Let's keep the momentum going, so we can get the work finished!

[Murmeli Walan]

Much congrats to you all on becoming an official OCR site project.

[KyleJCrb]

Much congrats to you all on becoming an official OCR site project.

Thanks, Walan. I hope you'll be joining us here soon. Do some power recruiting! ;)

[PriZm]

They better ASK ME TO PLAY BASS on that track. *ahem*

they will, assuming you're ready to solo your ass off

thanks

Thanks for the support, DS! We're all really excited about this project, as you can see. ^^

Now Kyle has some big "Site Projects" authority! We'd better not slack off for sure, now. XD

My mixes are coming along nicely. I'm eager to unveil my alternate *secret project*, but it'll take a while to get everything in order.

KungFu, that's too bad! Don't worry about it too much, even if they take a little longer to heal, any one of the guitarists here could help you out.

Can't wait to hear your new WIP(s), Fox!

[Kureejii Lea]

Let me just say that this is awesome - I'm so glad to see that everyone's working hard and has shown so much drive and commitment to the project - as dripping with melted processed cheesiness as it may sound, it's a really good feeling to be working with such a great group. I hope that this boosts momentum even further. :D

NOW GET BACK TO WORK.

[CPacaud]

Awesome !

I'll be waiting for your call PriZm. Let me show those guitarists how it's done ! :P

[KyleJCrb]

Haha, a bass shred would be totally awesome. :)

[Sir_NutS]

ah I did mucho progreso on my track yesterday. Alas, I was too tired again, and went to sleep before encoding to mp3.

I only need to do some adjustments to the end, but the song is practically done. I hope everyone else works hard to finish their tracks soon too!

(Now, It's time to finish those S&K remixes :p)

[KyleJCrb]

I'm awaiting the submission of the song, NutS. :D

[Usa]

Oh, my! The project has reached official site project status! Yay!!! *jumps around and throws colored paper squares everywhere*

Seriously, it's been a great time watching this project grow from Kyle trying to get some people together to today's state. It's a real success story ^-^

I'm sorry I didn't do anything on my contribution for some time, but I will depart for Germany very soon (in about a week) and thus, will only be able to continue working when I'm back again (that is in about four weeks). I hope I get the time to finish a second song, as well (I don't really want to do a rushed quickie, I prefer something more elaborated)

But even though I don't change anything about the Iselia song I am working on, there's a big chance that I will release a long anticipated new track on VGMix pretty soon so stay tuned :)

[Arcana]

Man, how am I supposed to compete against the super l33tness present in this project? WOW! Really, I'll get started on this track. TinyWIP will be arriving before July 23. DecentWIP hopefully will be there before August 1's deadline.

A rockin' shredfest with a few rhymes thrown in for good measure (courtesy of KFC). Yup, that track is gonna be nuts. :D

[ViludeMortiae]

Yay!

Congrats guys. See it was all because of me that you all went official. :P

Ah if they make fear factory-like industrial, I'll be glad to make the electronica part :p

[KyleJCrb]

Hey now, let's not get TOO wild with that one; PriZm's already got his work cut out for him coordinating it. :lol:

NutS: Where is your damn track? I don't even need a .wav of it right now (though I will eventually); I just need the song. :P

[Sir_NutS]

yeah sorry about that Kyle, again, I couldn't upload it yesterday because as you can see Here (http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200504.html) Hurricane Dennis Passed really close to my country yesterday, causing lotsa rain, wind and thunderstorms, which in turn caused several blackouts impeding me from using my pc to finish the song.

Don't worry, the song is almost finished. I spoke with Luiza and she might provide the final touches I want for it.

[KyleJCrb]

Well, dang. I didn't realize you had a hurricane go through there. Of course, I was just being sarcastic about "needing" your song right now; I just want to hear it. ;) Take your time!

hehe nah I didn't get through it, it just passed close. But caused several blackouts and after restarting my pc twice I decided to go to bed and finish that later. The sun in shining brightly today. :)

[Mr. Fox]

Good afternoon everyone!

http://www.savefile.com/filehost/files.php?fid=2088127

This is the first WIP of my alternate song. The idea is to blend laid back hip hop with jazz and bossa nova. Don't forget that there will be rapping over this so...

Hope you guys like it. I might be coming back today or tomorrow (in fact most likely Saturday hahahah) with the newst version of my Morias arrangment!

Keep up the good work dudes!!!

EDIT - SOMEONE has to do some laid back song for the balance of the project... right? :wink:

[KyleJCrb]

I've already expressed my thoughts about the track to you on AIM, RTF; now you just need some rappers to make it truly awesome. :)

[The Joker]

You know, I was thinking aboot joining this a while back... & now I wanna join... but everything seems takn... oh well... I love elipses... keep up the good work!

[MaliceX]

Aww nuts! If only I registered earlier!! >_<;
*claps* I'll be looking forward to the finished outcomes. :)
EDIT: Desolate Road.. Hmm.. if that spot opens again I wanna do that. :)

[KyleJCrb]

You know, I was thinking aboot joining this a while back... & now I wanna join... but everything seems takn... oh well... I love elipses... keep up the good work!

A song or two may open up at any time, so I'll definitely keep you in mind if that does happen. ;) Thanks for the support, everyone!

Also, has anyone heard from CC Ricers lately? I sent him a PM about two weeks ago, and I don't think he's even read it yet, and I don't think I've seen him on MSN, either. Maybe I missed something about him leaving for awhile or something...

[MaliceX]

I wish to participate in this as well where possible.
It's only 8th July and already 95% is taken. O_O

[Sir_NutS]

finished my song, its on the wip section of the SoS website. Give it a check and all comments are welcome!
(thanks to douli for hosting it for me)

[KyleJCrb]

I've been keeping in contact with many of the remixers on the project, and I'm extremely pleased with how well we're coming along. Keep up the great work, folks, and don't forget to give some feedback for the WIPs up over in the forums! :) I'm going to be talking to some of you soon, so if you're any of these people, you have something to *coughcough* look forward to... :P

EgM
Nick Tam
CC Ricers

Don't worry, you're not in trouble or anything. Yet. ;) Contact me first if I don't contact you after awhile.

[KyleJCrb]

Well, Arek had to drop off the project, but I got Christian Pacaud to take his place on Beat The Angel. Everyone send Christian large sums of money for his awesomeness and generosity. :P

[OverCoat]

I'll consider covering another ToP track if someone else drops out.

Currently, I'm in the process of figuring out Mid Galds. It's such a weird song! But I'll get it, dammit! :x

[KyleJCrb]

Christian just posted a totally awesome WIP of Beat the Angel over at the forums. Keep sending him money! :P

[Usa]

Well, Arek had to drop off the project, but I got Christian Pacaud to take his place on Beat The Angel. Everyone send Christian large sums of money for his awesomeness and generosity. :P

Money? Why not sweets? ^-^

Well, with money, he can buy whatever he wants. ;)

I'm always glad to hear about any progress folks have been making, so keep me updated! We've only got about 3 weeks left, so now is the time to get working on something for your song, if you haven't already.

[Usa]

Not true! He can't buy sweets that are only available in Switzerland, and there are a lot of them! :P

[CPacaud]

Actually, chocolate would do the trick, but you could also send me chocolate AND money. Then I'd be posting those WIPs every ten minutes :P

[KyleJCrb]

Chocolate money?

[CPacaud]

Damn, you found the trick.

[Rexy]

In other words, Chris wants that feeling of Christmas morning all over again :D

Well obviously, chocolate money should be in most if not everyone's stockings ^_^

Anyway, I know I need to start commenting on the mixes but I have been listening to them, I assure you.

[Arek the Absolute]

I was wondering where the heck this thread went :?
Anyhow, as you noticed, I am no longer a part of this project. As much as I would love to be *and trust me, I love this soundtrack*, I can't. My project is taking more energy than I thought to run. I wish kyle the upmost best of luck in this.
Don't worry though, I will still check in on this every now and then.
Kyle, I want to talk with you a bit, so when you see this, IM me :)

[Rayza]

This project plugged on www.vgdj.net episode 008, congrats y'all for getting it in site projects!

[KyleJCrb]

Just a small announcement:

THIS PROJECT IS NOW IN FULL LOCKDOWN.

No new remixers will be able to join, unless another remixer currently on board has to leave the project for whatever reason. What you're looking at on the main page is essentially what the finished project will look like.

Please note that any remixers currently involved may still take advantage of the "extra alternate song" rule, as outlined in the first post.

This is it, folks! Now the work really begins. ;)

[OverCoat]

woot

[PriZm]

so we can't drop out without feeling guilty anymore ? 8O

[KyleJCrb]

so we can't drop out without feeling guilty anymore ? 8O

Exactly. :P

Actually, I've already been thinking of potential replacements JUST IN CASE, so if someone needs to drop out, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. But why would you drop out now, PriZ? You've been rocking faces off. :D

[PriZm]

Exactly. :P

Actually, I've already been thinking of potential replacements JUST IN CASE, so if someone needs to drop out, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. But why would you drop out now, PriZ? You've been rocking faces off. :D

hmmm.... not my intention, and you know it :wink:

[KyleJCrb]

Oh, I know. :)

[Arek the Absolute]

so we can't drop out without feeling guilty anymore ? 8O

DahhaHAhAHAHaHAHAHAH....
Anyhow, I notice that topics in the Site projects portion of the forums don't get posted in as much as they would if they were in Gen disc or even WIP. I know it is because a lot of people really don't notice it anymore, but it sorta sucks when it comes to they "hype" department. Oh well, at least you know good ol' Arek is here watchin this. Keep up the good work guys.

[KyleJCrb]

They don't get posted in a lot, but the view count is through the roof. :P

[Sir_NutS]

so we can't drop out without feeling guilty anymore ? 8O

Exactly. :P

Actually, I've already been thinking of potential replacements JUST IN CASE, so if someone needs to drop out, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. But why would you drop out now, PriZ? You've been rocking faces off. :D
Since my song went so well(IMHO) and although I now added the real piano and still need to do some really minor adjustments, you can count me in for replacement.

[KyleJCrb]

Thanks, NutS; I'll make a note of that and see what comes up.

Speaking of making notes of things: Norrin Radd is unfortunately unable to contribute to this project, so I got Joker to pick up Freeze yesterday. Welcome aboard, Joker!

[The Joker]

Yay! Freeze is gonna be an awesome song to do. I can;t wait to let you guys hear a wip... whenever I get something that sounds presentable.

[KyleJCrb]

XMark has a WIP of his Sylphis song up over at the forums. Go check it out!

EDIT: I also just took a look and counted the days left to get a WIP of your song in if you haven't already; you have twenty days to do so. If you do not, you will be publicly scorned and humiliated, so don't let that happen! :P If you aren't sure if you've submitted a WIP, check the current song status list (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16) at the forums. Remember, WIPs don't have to be anything definite; just a minute or two of some decent ideas and material. Keep workin'! :)

[OverCoat]

I got something done for Mid Galds, but it's not enough for me to post a demo yet [these are my personal beliefs about WIPs I guess]... maybe Hemo can, but it's only like 1 minute of done :P I usually like to have the whole structure down before I change anything.

[Dahlia]

Cool status list! This whole project feels super-organized. I really should show off a small preview bit of Raising a Curtain, but I don't like to "give too much away", so to speak. ^^

[KyleJCrb]

Speaking of the status list, I've updated it a bit. I am open to discussing a possible exemption if you feel you won't have a WIP ready by August 1st, but I'm not being lax about it, so prepare a good excuse. :P

I've also decided to minimize the amount of information in the first post, as most of the information is available on the website now. Makes the post easier to edit, too. :P

[Rexy]

Aw man, i know, I still need to comment on peoples' stuff O.o Good news is, I've wrapped up my PRC entry and will now focus on the remaining WIPs that I've yet to comment on, whether it be here, on other projects or otherwise.

So yeah. Time to scaddle off... ;)

[Arek the Absolute]

I think you guys should take off my ability to check out WIP's now that I am not involved in this, that is if you haven't already. I just don't feel right being able to view them even if I basically cut myself from doing any music.

[Usa]

OK, this is the last post I make from Switzerland. I will be on vacation in Germany for a little bit more than three weeks now, so I am not able to work on my mixes in that time. I have internet there, though, and will check out the forums when I got the time :)

My train will depart in a few hours and I need some rest, so CU l8er!

[KyleJCrb]

I think you guys should take off my ability to check out WIP's now that I am not involved in this, that is if you haven't already. I just don't feel right being able to view them even if I basically cut myself from doing any music.

Already done, Arek. Don't worry about it; I think Christian has Beat The Angel well-covered. ;) Maybe someone will want to pick up Walking on Tethe'alla as an alternate track?

[Arek the Absolute]

I hope so. That track is probably my favorite from that game.

[KyleJCrb]

Attention project musicians!

There are a few folks over at the WIP forums (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/index.php) that are in need of help and advice. Please try to help them out as best as you can!

[Mr. Fox]

Ok people, no, I am not dead, just've been sick for almost two weeks, but I am recovering.

http://www.savefile.com/filehost/files.php?fid=2088127

Update on my alternate song.

Working on Moria right now! I will be posting soon! :D

[Mr. Fox]

Said and done:

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

Here is my Moria's UPdate!

This tune is making me nuts. And the ReMix is the only proof I need...

[Master Hatchet]

Hey, I know I haven't kept up on this thread, but I just wanted to post my WiP here. Kyle was kind enough to host it for me.

http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/WIPs/M-H_Glint_of_Light_Demo.mp3


There's some tuning issues cause my guitar won't intonate right for me right now. I'm getting a new Bridge for my Gibson that should (hopefully) take care of this.

I'll redo the drums, which I played in with my keyboard and quantized all to hell. I'm not digging the snare sound, I'll go back to my normal one next revision.

A few guitar errors here and there. This is very rough. I dig the wah (did I overdo it?) however.

[pu_freak]

Hatchet, you know precisely what goes well and not in your song... looking good so far.
Fox, I think that in the collab (the bar tune) the melody is maybe a little too hard to hear in the 2nd half of the piece... but who am I to judge that. Going to listen to the Moria piece now.

By the way, has anyone heard from housethegrate already? I'm really really really looking forward to his song, but the progress list doesn't give me much hope. I mean, he HAS the most rock-classed song from the game (probably the best song)... Please give me some good faith ;)

EDIT: WOw... The Moria ReMix is great! First the normal tune, then the jazz, then the distorted and then a little techno... and it all has one continiuing feeling to it: good job man. And about being nuts because of the tune, everyone had that moment after getting to be bottom level of the Gallery and then had to go back up. I can only imagine how crazy you must be after attempting to actually remixing it! :P

I've been talking to house, so don't worry about him; I know he'll get the track completed. He has a few other songs for other projects that he's gotta work on, too. Plus he just moved recently. But he'll be in. ;)

I can only imagine how crazy you must be after attempting to actually remixing it! :P

It's like making a lemonade with... with... mixed gummy! =P

Ok, it's a pretty damn hard song to remix in my opinion! =)

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

We are now two weeks from the first WIP deadline of the Summoning of Spirits project. The level of work thus far has been amazing, and most of the remixers seem extremely focused on getting this project completed. At this point, there are 20 mixers that haven't submitted a WIP yet, which is about half of those involved with the project (there are 40 songs, and 36 remixers). That is extremely good progress, so keep up the great work, guys!

For this date, I'm still expecting 15 remixers to send me WIPs (check the "Post-Planning Stage" list on the status post (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16) to see if you're there). You may have noticed a few that are exempt from the date, due to things that are beyond anyones control, and some that are currently in "Pending" status. If you're one of the 15 that I'm expecting a mix from, but don't feel that you'll be able to get something in by the date, feel free to contact me; I'm open to discussion and negotiations that can work to our benefit. If you haven't started yet, PLEASE DO SO! If I come to you and you say that you have absolutely nothing for the song, then you may possibly be removed. At this point, ANY WIP IS FINE! Just send me SOMETHING!

Also, if it's been awhile since I've heard from you, please try to contact me (if I don't contact you first) and let me know what your progress is, whether you've submitted a WIP or not. Some people I need to hear from:

CC Ricers
Ichitootah
Master Link

On a side note, I may be conducting a chatroom meeting for coordinators and remixers to participate in sometime after the due date, but that's just an idea for now.

Other than that, I don't have much else. Keep sending me those WIPs, folks! Show me what you have!

[The Joker]

Hey Kyle. I was wondering if you need a bio or something from me?

[KyleJCrb]

Actually, yes. Thanks for reminding me. I'll add you tomorrow, and you can get me the information as soon as you have the time.

[Sir_NutS]

I reiterate my help for any left-out song (well, at least I can promise I'll try :p)
This is looking good kyle.

[CPacaud]

Of course.

[KyleJCrb]

Lots of awesome WIPs to show up in the last few days, guys! Very impressive work over in the WIP forums. :) Keep it up!

[Kiyobi]

A remix project for the Tales games?!
I'm looking forward to this!!! :D
*bookmarks*

[Dahlia]

I'd better get on my songs again soon. The last week has been an extremely unusual deviation from my usual flow of things. o.O

[KyleJCrb]

My goal is to get a WIP from everyone (who's not exempt right now), and we're only 12 songs away from that goal. Keep sending me those WIPs, folks!

[Ichitootah]

I sent you a new WIP, Kyle. It doesn't have much new material, but it's a bit more polished. I've decided to include a sort of mild electric guitar, It'll probably sound bad among all the live tracks though. :(

[Kureejii Lea]

Someone might be willing to supply live guitar for your track. A ton of the stuff here has already turned into collabs to some degree. :wink:

[Dahlia]

I'd be happy to do it. Just send me the tab or sheet music. ;p

[KyleJCrb]

Soraya, out of curiousity, are you playing guitar for your own tracks? :P

[Dahlia]

Yup! I'm looking forward to doing the recording!

[Ichitootah]

Ok, I'll give you the sheet music when I'm done with the arrangement, but I know almost nothing about actual guitars, so feel free to transpose it into an easier key for you or simplify it if that's a problem. Thanks. :)

[KyleJCrb]

I just want to urge all of the project remixers who are currently not registered and regularly checking the project forums (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/index.php) to please do so. There are a few important announcements and some discussion there that you're missing out on. It's not absolutely imperative, but it is strongly recommended that you take a look and register so you can participate in the discussion of the project.

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

One week away from the due date! I'm expecting a WIP from most of you, since I've been trying to keep in contact with you guys, so don't disappoint me! ;)

[KyleJCrb]

OMG TRI-RI-RI-RIPLE POST!

Cross-posted from the project forums (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/):

Whoooooa! SoS made it to the radio! Seriously!

For those of you who frequent OCR, you might be familiar with VGDJ (http://www.vgdj.net/), the official OCR Podcast (you can learn more about Podcasting at their site). In the latest incarnation of the show (which would be #010 =P), our very own Kureejii Lea gets on Arcanas case regarding his remix live on the air, and also provides some insight on the status of the project. It's nothing we don't already know, but it's great to hear nonetheless. Special thanks to Rayza and Aurora for mentioning us several times (check shows #008 and #003 for other mentions), and to Lea and Arcana for saying horrible, mean, and nasty (yet true!) things about the project live on the air. Check it out! (http://www.vgdj.net/2005/07/vgdj-special-episode-010.html)

[Dahlia]

You spammer!

[KyleJCrb]

THREE DAYS LEFT!

You have until 11:59 PM on Monday (based on your local time, so you'll have all day Monday to work) to submit me a WIP. If I'm not around on AIM or MSN, either send me a PM with a link to your file hosted somewhere on the web, or email the file as an attachment to talesproject@gmail.com. Remember that I'd still like to hear WIPs from those that have already submitted one too, so if you've made progress, let me know.

[The Joker]

I haven;t made much progress with my mix. In fact other than some slight polish... it's the same. I'm gonna pick up work on it soon, but I won't have a newer wip until after the deadline.

[KyleJCrb]

That's fine, Joker. What you have right now sounds great, especially on such short notice. :) Keep it up!

[pu_freak]

Judgement Day is coming... I wish I could hear all those WIPs...

[KyleJCrb]

Judgement Day? Not quite. That'll be project release day. :P

[Murmeli Walan]

Judgement Day? Not quite. That'll be project release day. :P

When OCR explodes from the sheer awesome.

[KyleJCrb]

Hmmm...Well, the death of OCR might be kind of a bad thing, so I guess it's time to kick off the awesome remixers and replace them with sub-par n00bs...

[Kureejii Lea]

Nono, he meant like orgasmic explosion.

It's a good thing. </Martha>

I don't have anything to add other than GET THOSE WIPS IN. Remember, even a midi is okay, just have something to show that you're making progress. Or else...

you'll make Kyle cry. Please, think of the Kyle.

[KyleJCrb]

Huh, a website having an orgasmic explosion...Probably wanna stay off the receiving end of that one! :lol:

And trust me; Lea will cry, too. You'll make both of us cry. You don't want to make both of us cry, do you?

Please, think of the children! You'll make them cry, too!

ONE AND A HALF DAYS LEFT!

[Dahlia]

Ahhh! I go to bed and come back in the morning and the thread is R-Rated!

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

Tired of idling on slow, boring forums? Come idle in slow, boring chatrooms instead! :P Come in and discuss the project, or whatever we happen to be discussing. The chat is open to anyone, so stop on by! If you have an IRC client, such as Trillian (http://www.trillian.cc) or mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/), here's how to get there:

Channel: #talesproject
Server: irc.esper.net
Port: 6667

If you don't have an IRC client, or don't want to bother with downloading one, you can visit the chatroom via this web portal: http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/chat/

I also recommend that when you get there that you register your username, like so:

/nickserv register *yourusername* *yourpassword*

Every time you join the chat, it will bug you about identifying yourself, so just pop this in (if you don't, you'll get kicked off):

/nickserv identify *yourpassword*

And that's it. Hope to see you there!

Also,
ONE DAY LEFT!

[PassivePretentiousness]

Hmmm...Well, the death of OCR might be kind of a bad thing, so I guess it's time to kick off the awesome remixers and replace them with sub-par n00bs...

I'm in. afk.

[KyleJCrb]

Sarcasm, yo. :P

[pu_freak]

I'm sure a lot of the visiters/non-remixers will cry too... Just send the ReMixes in or you'll cause a international mouring day ;)

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

Well, the first WIP due date has officially past. What a showing it was, too. Only one person who wasn't granted exemption has failed to turn anything in (I won't mention any names *coughAshanecoughcough* :P) and the work so far? Holy shit you guys are gonna make this thing ROCK! Awesome work coming out of all remixers involved. Things are moving along quite rapidly, as well, so keep up the good work!

The next due date will give the remixers a little less time to work, but most of you should still have plenty of time to get an update to me. I want to hear from EVERYONE, even those who have finished your compositions and are just waiting to record parts on live instruments or whatever. Please get a new, updated WIP to me or Lea (though I think most all of you have been talking to me) by September 12th. Again, the next due date is September 12th. That's all!

[The Joker]

Please get a new, updated WIP to me or Lea (though I think most all of you have been talking to me) by September 12th. That's all!

Poor Lea. She's the blacksheep of the Tales management family. *gives lea a hug & asks her if she wants a sooo'da*

[KyleJCrb]

No way. Lea's in the artwork development process. She's very important. Without her, the artwork wouldn't be nearly as awesome as it's going to be when the project is complete. ;) Just look at the forums and the sig banners for proof!

[watkinzez]

Speaking of which, has cover art come into the picture yet, or is it too early to think about that?

[KyleJCrb]

Some very vasic ideas of cover art/case inserts have been discussed by Lea and I, but nothing is definite yet. Here's the ideas we have:

-Two different artwork sizes - Since this project will very likely be around 4 CDs long, we're planning on making two different sizes of artwork that will fit on both extra-large DVD cases (http://www.tapeandmedia.com/detail.asp?product_id=4DVD3-DKGRY) (ones that will hold 4 CDs/DVDs) and extra-large CD cases (http://shop.cd-writer.com/acatalog/ALL_PRODUCTS_QUAD__4_DISC__JEWEL_CASE_1036.html) (like the kind multiple disc Playstation games came in).

-A full color booklet with information about the games, songs, and remixers - I'm thinking that this will be DVD case-sized only. The actual layout and design of the booklet pages (the front cover being the exception) will be done by myself. Booklet will be in Adobe Acrobat format so it can be easily seen on the web, as well.

-Cover artwork/art for the page backgrounds in the booklet to be drawn by Kureejii Lea - The subject matter of the artwork will stay under wraps until the project is complete. I'm not even sure remixers will get to see it. :P

That's it so far. Of course, suggestions are welcome, but it's probably a bit early to really be discussing this in too much detail.

[Dahlia]

That's pretty cool! It'll be interesting to have some inside-information about the songs for everyone to see.

[KyleJCrb]

It would appear that HostingOnNet is down, which means that KyleJCrb.com is down, which means the project forums are down. Woohoo?

EDIT: Yet my sig image loads fine. Conspiracy!

[Dahlia]

It's still down! You should write them and demand that they add extra time to your hosting in the amount of the downtime!

For great j-... okay, we all know the drill.

[KyleJCrb]

I would, but it would appear that the entire server is down, including their own website. That worries me slightly...

[CC Ricers]

OHCRAP you are right. And that's the place where I usually check the updates, not here. I forgot that this thread got moved. Good thing I posted my WIP in the nick of time :P

[Dahlia]

It's still down. I think the company packed up their servers, took the money, and ran. (Now deciding whether I'm joking or not...)

[KyleJCrb]

HostingOnNet is a pretty big company with a lot of customers. I don't think they'd run out like that. Maybe they'll be back soon...

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

All right, since the website is still down, this is our base of operations for now. I've put the detailed status list in the first post (let me know if any of it is wrong; I had to rebuild it from scratch), and will take any WIPs you have via PM here. Since most of you are doing so well, I'd prefer not to have WIPs posted publicly here at this point. If you feel the need to get feedback, clear it with me first. I'll be sending out a mass PM (perhaps to all of you, even if I've spoken to you recently) to update everyone on the current status of the project. Remember, the due date is September 12th, but I want to hear WIPs from all of you as soon as possible.

[Dahlia]

That really sucks. Maybe their whole building burned down. Anyway, I guess Uncle Pretzel is taking us in after all. I'm sure we'll work something out. :wink:

[KyleJCrb]

Well, the HostingOnNet servers appear to be back, but the website is not functional yet. I seriously hope they made a backup, as my newest forum backup is somewhat out of date...

EDIT: For those who weren't aware, I am a deeply religious person, and I run a church on the side. Just check KyleJCrb.com for yourself and see (and decide if I'm being sarcastic or not :P).

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

The website is back up! Fortunately, no data was lost, and things seem to be back in order for now. I went and made a backup of the forum database, and will try to keep it updated as much as possible, just in case a permanent loss of the forum occurs. Head on over to http://www.kylejcrb.com/forum/ and let's get this thing back on the road! :)

[XMark]

I'm getting a database error on the forum. (phpbb error. Could not connect to database)

[Dahlia]

I'm getting a database error on the forum. (phpbb error. Could not connect to database)

Yeah, me too. I was able to connect once much earlier, but not anymore. The whole site is moving really slow. Not that there's anything anyone can really do about it...

[KyleJCrb]

All right, apparently HostingOnNets servers are still unstable. Hopefully they'll be back soon.

[Kiyobi]

I got in.

[KyleJCrb]

It's back up. Explanation as to what happened is over there.

[SnappleMan]

I think it's time I started posting in this topic. I mean, I AM in the project after all... o_O

[KyleJCrb]

There's not a whole lot to post about this thread. All the action regarding this project is over here (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/index.php) and sometimes in the chat (http://kylejcrb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67). :P You should visit those places, too!

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

A very simple announcement, and hopefully should be common sense to most of you:

DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORK FILES PRIOR TO THE PROJECTS RELEASE!

Your Reason/FrtuiyLoops/whatever files, or even your raw instrument recordings. Do not delete ANY of them, even after you get your song completed. I say this because there are things that might have to be adjusted/changed in the future, and the your work files might be necessary to do this.

Just a reminder! ;)

[The Joker]

hey, you know... if you read the projects homepage... and read the staff & such things... I'm not in the project. And that makes me a sad panda (hint hint). Anyway, I've made some progress on my mix.

[KyleJCrb]

You're on the lists here and on the project forums: That's all that matters. :P I'll get to updating it eventually. The site is a bit out of date in other areas, too.

EDIT: Guess what? I updated it!

[KyleJCrb]

I find your lack of activity disturbing.


Okay, so there's not really any inactivity, but progress has slowed down a bit. A few WIPs here and there, some status updates, the usual; I'm still looking forward to hearing stuff from you guys, so send it along or post it over in the WIP boards at the forums!

[Usa]

Just wanted to inform everyone here that I am back...almost... I had a lot of stress during my three weeks of "vacation", so I need a bit of rest before I can get on with the work for any project.

In addition, a friend of mine, Zak, has started his own project (A Seiken Densetsu 3 ReMix project) and entitled me to being his co-coordinator. This doesn't mean a lot of work, but here and there I need to lend him a helping hand to organize things :)

So you guys and gals have still to be a bit patient before I can get rollin' again :)

[KyleJCrb]

Usa took post 666. Too bad this isn't the Doom project. ;)

Anyway, thanks for the update, Usa. You still have time to work, though, so don't be too rushed (although these months have been ticking by rather quickly lately)...

[Dahlia]

I find your lack of activity disturbing.

Please don't choke us, Darth Lord Kyle.

[KyleJCrb]

You must never underestimate the power of the Dark Side. After all, we've got cookies!

If you're a project remixer, you'll probably be hearing from me today. Just the usual; quick status checkup, to see how you're doing on your songs if you haven't given me a recent update.

[DarkeSword]

DO NOT DELETE YOUR PROJECT FILES EVER!

Quoted and fixed for emphasis. As an artist releasing music on the internet, you should never, ever delete your project files for any composition, remix or otherwise. It's the only proof you really have that the song was made by you.

I'm sure in this particular case though, we're talking about lossless encodes. :P

Good point. And yes, we're talking lossless encodes, and perhaps a little something in the post-production/engineering department. But we shell sea about that one. :P

[Dahlia]

I'm a nutbar and sometime go back and mess around with the engineering on songs I completed years ago. I can't understand why someone would delete little project files! It's like killing your own children. o.O;

[XMark]

I've got 5 gigabytes of old project files that I'm most likely not going to touch again but I'm keeping anyways, just in case...

[RoeTaKa]

Darn y'know this morning I thought "man, I'd really like to join the Tales project" but I see it's full up now. Well, if anyone has to drop out permanent for some reason, can I be on standby?

[KyleJCrb]

Darn y'know this morning I thought "man, I'd really like to join the Tales project" but I see it's full up now. Well, if anyone has to drop out permanent for some reason, can I be on standby?

You're added to the list. I'll keep you in mind. ;)

There's already a list? Hot titty milk!

[Forty-second]

Just checking up to see how this project is coming, I've been really excited about this since it's first days.

And looking at the names here, HOLY SH1T THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD



Anxiously awaiting the release :D

[KyleJCrb]

Well, after a somewhat extended absense, I've finally returned. For those wondering what happened, it seemed that my cable modem fried on Thursday night, we couldn't fix it, and it took until yesterday before a cable technician could get out here and find the problem. We finally replaced the modem today, and I'm back in business. Short update since I'm being pulled away to watch a movie, but it's good to be back. Keep workin'!

[Ikuaod2]

When I read about this, I signed up just to say I'm looking forward to your guy's work. I'm a huge Tales of Symphonia fan, so you guys are awesome in my book.

[XMark]

It seems the Summoning of Spirits site is down again?

[KyleJCrb]

It appears to be up for me. Must've just been some short server maintenance downtime, or something of the sort.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, I know it seems like things are a little slow right now, but I'm working on getting more updates from people. And also, let's just say that there will be a few cool surprises in store as you're listening to this project on its release. ;)

Also, I'm thinking of a potential site redesign, but my knowledge outside of HTML is fairly limited. I'll be looking at options soon.

[Arek the Absolute]

Beware....
MWW is coming....
True war shall begin!
HAVE AT THEE!

[Usa]

Beware....
MWW is coming....

[KyleJCrb]

Unfortunately, due to reasons I'll keep undisclosed, GrayLightning and Bladiator have decided to drop out of this project. :( However, analoq has stepped up to take on the track Gray and Blad were working on: Last Battle ~Decision~ from Tales of Symphonia. Welcome to the project, analoq!

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

We're quickly approaching the due date yet again, which means it's time for quick status checks.

It is imperative that I hear from these people, otherwise they may potentially be removed from the project:
Rubbler
Eric Dude
Fusion2004
Master Link
EgM
Ichitootah
Paragon
CC Ricers
Mythril Nazgul
DarkeSword
Nick Tam

If you're on this list and I haven't contacted you yet, please contact me as soon as possible with a status update (or a new WIP) of the song/s you're working on. Failure to do so may result in project removal.

Also, Lea and I have been looking at the WIPs submitted to us previously, and we have some potential cuts in mind. We're looking at making sure every song on this project is of high quality (preferably at least to OCRs standards, foregoing the 6 meg rule), and some aren't exactly hitting the mark. Removal based on quality and work ethic will take place on the second due date. Most of you are doing very well so far, however, and have nothing to worry about. ;) Over and out.

[Arek the Absolute]

Has ANYONE heard from Sir_nuts?

[KyleJCrb]

Has ANYONE heard from Sir_nuts?

His song is almost done, but as far as I know it's not completely finished yet. I think Usa's talked to him...

Has ANYONE heard from Sir_nuts?

His song is almost done, but as far as I know it's not completely finished yet. I think Usa's talked to him...

Yeah, almost finished... so don't worry too much about it :)

[Arek the Absolute]

DOn't worry? He hasn't even started on his song for me.
>.<

[KyleJCrb]

Arek, I think you might be rushing things. There will be some stragglers. It's part of running a project.

[Arek the Absolute]

I suppose.
I just wish he would reply to my pm at least :?

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

Tomorrow (Wedneday), I'm leaving on vacation for one week (which means I'll be back next Wednesday night). In that time, the project will be in Lea's hands, so any and all correspondence should be directed towards her. I don't know if I'll have a chance to check in, as internet access where I'll be is limited. I'll try and check in at least once, though, and if I see you giving Lea problems, there will be hell to pay. :P She also has my cell phone number/email address, so in the case of project emergencies or unanswerable questions, I'll still be able to be contacted. You're all still stuck with me until about 10:30 AM west coast time until tomorrow though, so don't break out the parades and parties just yet. ;)

WIPs should either be posted to the project forums, sent to Kureejii Lea by PM, or sent to talesproject@gmail.com, NOT to me. If you send your WIP to me while I'm gone, the list will likely not be updated and you won't receive feedback, so please make sure you send it to the correct person.

And that's it! I'll be glad to finally get away from you all for awhile! :P (No actually, I kinda hate to just leave like this. But I'll be back!)

[Mr. Fox]

I am happy to anounce that Dj Carbunckle agreed on collabing with me on my Moria Song. I am entering the spirit of the "Project of collabs" :D . So we will be fixing stuff, adding stuff, and giving you guys a WIP shortly!!

Everybody say: "Welcome aboard Carbie!!"

Cheers!

[Arek the Absolute]

Guess who joined the ranks as site project coordinators?

I am happy to anounce that Dj Carbunckle agreed on collabing with me on my Moria Song. I am entering the spirit of the "Project of collabs" :D . So we will be fixing stuff, adding stuff, and giving you guys a WIP shortly!!

Everybody say: "Welcome aboard Carbie!!"

Cheers!

Don't forget the collab we're gonna do! ^_^

Yeah, what about our collab? I haven't heard from you in a long time :) Please PM me if there are news from your side, OK?

I'm mashing on my keyboard madly trying to get all the notes in before the next deadline. XD

That you did. Thanks again for the major confidence boosters :)

[KyleJCrb]

Just a quick check-in while I'm on vacation. Things are going well (still don't have all the WIPs, though :P) and I've updated the track status list. Songs are trickling in, so keep up the good work, folks!

[pu_freak]

Site's down again?

[Kureejii Lea]

Seems like it. I'm starting to wonder how stable that server is. =P

EDIT: Seems to be back now.

[Xaleph]

I'm going to be in Louisiana for 5-7 days.

I don't know how much I'm going to get done on the remix, if I'll have GOBS of time in a hotel or if I'm going to have no time (and if even electricity will be available).

My mission down there is pretty simple, to help train and re-design software (to track power generators) while they're using it =X. I'm pretty nervous, please wish me luck (and pray if you believe in a God)

Thanks!

[Ichitootah]

Err.. New version finished. I'll be posting it in my song's thread soon. So you can take me off that list now. :P

[KyleJCrb]

I'm back! Glad to see everything is staying together, and that a few WIPs have trickled in. There's still a lot of folks that I haven't heard from in regards to WIPs and/or finished tracks, so if you haven't stepped forward with anything as far as a WIP of some sort, please do so ASAP. Thanks!

[CC Ricers]

Hey Kyle dude, I have this WIP that's probably 95% done, though I didn't send you the new version yet. Reason is, the changes I made since the last deadline were so few, I didn't need to work on it much and almost forgot about it. But it's still there :)

[KyleJCrb]

Sounds good, CC. Just send me the updated version ASAP. ;)

[Usa]

I also worked a bit on my Iselia WIP - it's almost finished, in a compositional way...not at all in a performance and mastering way. I need to add some notes here and there, though, so it will still take some time. The final track will have a 4:30ish length :)

[KyleJCrb]

That'll be great, Usa. Tracks are slowly getting close to finished! :)

The due date is TOMORROW, folks! There's still quite a few people that I haven't received anything from, so please get something to me ASAP! Remember, we will be looking at the songs and making cuts on this due date as well, so turn in your best work!

[KyleJCrb]

Here are the people that need to send me a WIP of at least one of their songs (if they signed up for multiple songs) by September 12th, 11:59 PM (their local time), or at least send me a PM or contact me in some way by that time:

Ashane
CC Ricers
DarkeSword

Please talk to me ASAP, if I haven't spoken to you already.

[housethegrate]

Hey Kyle. Sorry I've been slow with getting this project going. I'm working on it right now, and trust me, it will be good.

[KyleJCrb]

Hey Kyle. Sorry I've been slow with getting this project going. I'm working on it right now, and trust me, it will be good.

No worries, my man. I know you'll rock this project as it's never been rocked before. I'm lookin' forward to getting my face blown off. ;)

Go play badly in Halo or something. XD

I prefer Unreal Tournament myself. ;P

[Dahlia]

Hey, take my name off that list. It's unnerving to be on the list!

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, a few people kinda missed the due date. BUT, there won't be removals for tardiness this time. Maybe next time, though. :P Expect a longer post (with the new due date) sometime later. In the meantime, I'll accept whatever WIPs come my way.

All I'll say about the due date right now is this: You'd probably be better off preparing your WIPs RIGHT NOW, because you won't be getting much time. :P More to come!

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

Here we are once again; another due date, come and gone. Impressive work all around, folks! We're slowly but surely making progress, with most of the music taking shape and sounding very nice. In case you haven't been paying attention, we have a few new additions to the project: Sixto, who will be taking on the track The Second Act - AkumajoBelmont, who's going to be arranging Arche's theme - and analoq, who's tackling Last Battle Decision. All three of them will be providing their talents and making this the best project that we can possibly make it. Welcome aboard, gentlemen! I'll be discussing your songs and due dates with you soon.

In other news, the next WIP due date: October 5th. I'll say it again: OCTOBER FIFTH. FIVE-TH. OF OCTOBER. That's roughly 3 and a half weeks. Why so little time? Most of the songs are either finalized as far as composition, or quickly making progress to a finished composition. Three weeks should be plenty of time for most of you to get something together. Three minutes of material, to be exact (unless your song is just short by nature), or a near-finalized composition are the requirements. I've also decided that anyone who has not sent me ANY form of a WIP (those still under Planning and Post-Planning, not including the new musicians) WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE PROJECT, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. We're lookin' to speed things up, folks, so get crackin'! ;)

Remember, the next WIP due date is OCTOBER 5TH. Let's see some progress!

Or, in other words: "GET TO WORK, MAGGOTS! THREE AND A HALF WEEKS TIL THE NEXT DUE DATE AND IF YOU'RE NOT REMIXING DURING EVERY MINUTE OF THOSE THREE WEEKS YOU'RE GONNA BE SCRUBBIN' THE BATHROOM WITH A TOOTHBRUSH FOR FOUR! DISMISSED!"

:P

[Dahlia]

OCTOBER FIFTH. FIVE-TH. OF OCTOBER.

What? I didn't quite hear that! The fifteenth, you say?

Anyway, good! I wanted to know the next deadline so I could pace myself. Okay, so I'll probably just slave over Sibelius until they're done, for fear of swabbing the decks of the S.S. Kyle with a toothbrush.

I'm glad to have Sixto aboard, in keeping with the metaphor. :D This guy knows the classic rock!

[Jillian Aversa]

On the front page: "XMark & pixietricks - Sylphis" Whaaaaa? I haven't heard anything from XMark, like, ever! Are you sure we're supposed to be collabing? He hasn't contacted me...

(confused)

(confused)

Hmmm... I guess I should have him talk to you. He is writing the song with your vocals in mind, and has left space in it for you to do your own thing, but I guess I shouldn't just assume that he's been talking to you or anything. :P I'll let him know, and hopefully it can be made truly official.

[Jillian Aversa]

Okay, that'd be good. Because I can't really say I'm in for sure until I've heard what he has etc.

[XMark]

Sorry, I was going to contact you about it when I had most of the instrumentals down so you'd have a better idea what to put in, and I haven't touched the song for a couple of weeks now.

But for now, I have the first couple of minutes available on the private WIP forum.

EDIT: Sorry, I assumed that you had heard the WIP's already.

[KyleJCrb]

Which would be right here: http://kylejcrb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21 (If you can't see this, you're someone who doesn't need to see it ;P)

[Sixto]

I want one of those cool sigs to brag about being on the project! 8)

A project I was working on for a friend has been put on hold. He's had to leave the country and will be away for a couple of months, so now I'll have all the time in the world to work on this and other projects/collaborations.

[KyleJCrb]

I see you found them. ;) Glad to have you on board, Sixto! Very impressive work so far!

[KyleJCrb]

I'm revamping the tracklist order on the website and making several changes and updates to the site itself. Hopefully these updates will be up this afternoon, after I get home from work.

Please send your WIPs to me ASAP! There's only two weeks left, and I really want to receive WIPs from everyone, otherwise Lea and I may have to take drastic measures and remove you from the project (of course, there are a few exceptions). Don't let that happen!

[Dahlia]

Cool! Try not to put "Autumn" beside "Waiver" or "Cancer". XD

Put it between them!

[KyleJCrb]

Site updated. Here's how the tracklist is looking so far: http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/tracklist.html

[The Joker]

In other news, I've gotten word from Roe, & Freeze is no longer a collab. Maybe down the line he & I will tweak the mix, but for the most part, it's a solo again.

[Rexy]

Just out of question, what's the situation with Master Link's backing track? Has he got the vocal foundations set up?

[KyleJCrb]

Master Link hasn't made much progress since that initial WIP he released at the forums, but he's scrapping what he has and is starting over.

[KyleJCrb]

Woo, progress! Christian Pacaud has pretty much finished his version of Beat The Angel. It's a pretty stark contrast from the original which should be enjoyable for all. ;) Get those WIPs to me, folks! Only 9 days remain until the next due date!

Alright, I don't know if I can give you a new WIP on that date because I'm pretty busy right now (have a lot of mixdown/MIDI/signal flow tests and stuff like that). For example I have to take a train tomorrow at 7 AM to go to Zürich, because it's the only time that was left when the mixing console is not in use. This doesn't mean I won't finish the songs, but this means I can't work on them right now...

You're fine, Usa. Don't worry about it.

[Hemophiliac]

Well now, it seems i am at a stopping point once again. i've made the decision that it is best to find someone here for collaboration on mint's theme. i had originally planned on working with a friend of mine on it, but it seems he is rather not around, and his schedual is the exact invert of mine...so working is tough.

So, what i am looking for is a guitarist who would like to collab with me (not just playing but writing some stuff too), and who can record both accoustic and electric guitars.

If you are reading this and are interested please talk to me on AIM, asap, please.

FYI: I Also posted this in the project forums.

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

Hey, can I request a slight extemption? My guitar is royal fucked at the moment. I can get it fixed, I just have to gather up the money.

[The Joker]

I made a poopies! I mean... the deadline! w00 w00 w00ts!

[KyleJCrb]

So far, the WIP turnout has been pretty dismal, which has me worried. Unfortunately, I can't bug everyone 24/7 like I used to, so initiative needs to be taken on the remixers end. I'm doing what I can to talk to people, but I don't have time to talk to everyone. I still have not received WIPs from those who missed the due date last time, and I've only received a couple in the last two weeks (thank you to those folks :)). I will be trying my best to send PMs or emails out to remind you guys, but I can't guarantee anything.

As for those needing extensions or whatever, that's fine. Just tell me a reason and how long you need, and we'll work from there.
