Tales Series: Summoning of Spirits - History

[Rexy]

Have you tried reaching CC Ricers by MSN? I know he was around the site at the time of the posting of Bionic Electronica.

[Kureejii Lea]

im a bit worried about soraya too
anyone here know him in irl? i need to know if he is at least ok :?

Yeah, I'm a tad concerned about that myself. It seems odd that someone so involved and enthusiastic would just disappear.

Have you tried reaching CC Ricers by MSN? I know he was around the site at the time of the posting of Bionic Electronica.

I emailed him at that address about two months ago... haven't seen him sign on with it, but then I'm not on MSN much myself.

[Arek the Absolute]

Seems as though all us coordinators are a bit worried about Soraya. I am really hoping that he is just having problems getting on the internet...

[KyleJCrb]

Back in early January, Soraya said that his "last several weeks had been reeeeeeeeeeally unpleasant". A couple weeks later, he sent me a new demo for one of his songs, but has since then vanished. He was gone for roughly a month before he contacted me in January too, so I'm just wondering if he's going through some tough times right now. Guess we'll just have to wait it out.

[Kureejii Lea]

SORAYA'S ALIVE!

Apparently it was all the complications with moving and stuff. He says his laptop's currently in for repairs, but he'll be back ASAP.

[KyleJCrb]

HE LIVES!

Good to hear. Now about those other two...

[Usa]

Just wanted to check in once again. I was in Germany for almost a week because of a dentist visit, and just have returned....I'm really burned out now, and I didn't get the job at the delivery service because I was in Germany...they lied to me :(

[CC Ricers]

KYLE :P

Yes, I'm still around and have the remix at hand. To answer your last post in the WIP forum, the remix is almost completely done, but it's at a 'plateau' where all I have to figure out is how to give it a proper ending :o

Ever since the project started I have hardly posted in this thread, because most of my browsing for info on the project has been in your own forums. I have a somewhat updated version of the remix, just gotta make an mp3 out of it.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, sorry about that. Sometimes news that gets posted here doesn't make it over to there, and vice versa. Hard to keep track of, these projects can be.

Glad to see you're still with us, however. We were getting concerned...

[Ageha]

Oh god, remixes of my favourite tracks: Dry Trail, Like a Glint of Light, Shihna's Theme, Presea's Theme?

Where do I sign up and when can I hear these?!

Sorry... you can always check www.kylejcrb.com for public works in progress, but the full versions will be made available only when the project is completed.

[KyleJCrb]

And before you ask :P

We're looking at a Summer release. Hopefully.

[The Mutericator]

Still looking for Soraya?

[KyleJCrb]

Still looking for Soraya?

Nope. I think the status on all missing remixers has come to light. We should be good. :)

[Kureejii Lea]

I've posted the cover art stuff at the project board if you guys wanna check it out (private forums only). MAN am I glad to have this part over with!

Wow! That's awesome! Nice work.

[Hale-Bopp]

As I mentioned over there, I'm digging it. 8)

[The Joker]

OMG, I finished my section of Last Batle! I call out with a mighty, though coarse, "ROWR!" Why you ask do I call out for my...


All project musicians who are in the Collab, go & call thy turn & finish they sections!

[KyleJCrb]

Huge-ass update, in list form for ease of use:

-All missing remixers have been found. Thanks to everyone who put efforts forward to locate these individuals.

-Claado Shou has dropped from the project, leaving Hydropolis without a remixer. The fate of the song and possible replacements are currently being discussed.

-Anthony Lofton (saxaphonist of The OneUps (http://www.theoneupslive.com/)) has joined the project, taking up the role that pixietricks was unfortunately unable to fill in Dhsu's "The Dream Will Not Die" remix. Trust me when I say there'll be some hawt saxaphonage going on here. ;)

-Kureejii Lea has completed the album cover art. This art will also show up in some promotional materials due to be released soon; however, the cover art in full will not be unveiled until the release of the project. It's also very hawt. :P

-I'm still waiting on completed songs from a good portion of folks. I'm holding off on setting a due date for now because the last several times one has been set, they've not been met as expected. I am still trying to keep in contact with as many remixers as possible through this period, so working on tracks is still expected, and the sooner tracks are completed the better.

-The website will be redesigned from the ground up. It also desperately needs updating. We're working on fixing these things and will hopefully be caught up soon.

That should be it. Any questions?

[CPacaud]

What about failure to deliver?

[KyleJCrb]

What about failure to deliver?

Didn't I cover that?

I'm still waiting on completed songs from a good portion of folks.

:P

EDIT: By semi-popular demand, here's another project preview. This one's a little different in its subject matter, though. It was more of a joke than anything. :P

[Kureejii Lea]

Hemo, you're needed in the Last Battle thread. =P

[CPacaud]

ownt

[TrueLugia121]

it'd be good to add like say a Playstation Portable or Desktop Wallpaper to go with the project if anyone here owns a Memory Stick DUO and PSP.

i own a PSP and i see alot of good PSP Wallpapers on the net so i think you could come up with the idea of adding a wallpaper to go on the PSP Home menu or something, you know, to spiceup the love for the project, maybe? high quality would be good. like 5MB for a 487x272 size bt of artwork for the project?

also Summoning of Spirits is gonna raise the roof over video game remixing even higher than the past projects. and i think KyleJCRB you could be the project runner to end all project runners there. keep it up.

[KyleJCrb]

Kureejii Lea has been a big part of the process (the cover art rocks, as you will soon find out, and she's done a lot of the other graphic work for the project, which you can see on the website), so don't leave her out.

Wallpapers are in the works. You may see at least one here very soon. We may even tailor it to fit the PSP or other portable devices (cell phones, anyone? Or are we getting too carried away? :lol: ). We don't want to reveal too much at once, though. ;)

[Vilecat]

Unless you meant a wallpaper of the CD cover, i doubt that's part of the project. I'm pretty sure you can find one online or request for one elsewhere (like GenDisc or Unmod for example) if it's not the case.

Dunno if it will be the best project, but i can't wait to hear it. All the projects are taking so looooong! Can't... wait... *twitches*

[KyleJCrb]

Unless you meant a wallpaper of the CD cover, i doubt that's part of the project.

Lea has drawn some artwork specifically for the project that will essentially be multi-purpose. It's gonna be used for a few things we have planned, which includes cover art and wallpapers. Of course, it'll be much like the previews of the music that I've compiled and released recently; the full deal won't be unveiled until the project's done. :P

hehehehehehehehe great that's nice to hear.

also Vilecat yeah it can be a wallpaper of the front cover of the album or something like that.

[Kureejii Lea]

Our board seems to be down...

[Sir_NutS]

hey there.

I've been kinda absent from the comunity lately due to not having time for anything lately, but I'm back in track now, and I finished both of my songs and have the wavs ready. I just need to find someone with a good connection so I can upload them -_-

but yeah, I'm done :D

[andyjayne]

Our board seems to be down...
Indeed... KYLE!!!

Also, an informal reminder to those who want to work on Last Battle to get to the forums (when they're up) and make some comments and possible progess. I've no idea what the current status of it is.

As far as I can tell, the current status of the track is where you left it, unless someone else has picked it up.

Also, the entire hosting server seems to be down, so this will be our center of operations until it comes back.

[The Joker]

'S back! rejoicededs all jou pheasants! Anyway, if no one calls next after a while, I'll add some more stuff to Last Battle. We need more people to come forward & except this responsibility. The one mid is powerful, & it calls out to Him. Not the band Him, some guy named Him.

[KyleJCrb]

Well, Hemophiliac and Christian Pacaud's rendition of Mint's Theme has hit the panel. Best of luck on that, guys!

Speaking of which, I'd been neglecting to post this, but to answer questions about OCR/other site submissions, here we go: You're welcome to submit your tracks to be judged if they're finished and accepted for the project, but you must explicitely state in the submission email that the song is for the Summoning of Spirits project, and it's not to be posted on the site until the project is released.

That's all.

[herograw]

welp, it sure is nice to have internet at home again.

everyone is good? good

[Usa]

Hello people! Long time no see... Since I had work to compose music for a $200.000 TV production, some plugin problems with the upcoming MacOS X 10.4.6 upgrade, and am undergoing a MAJOR keyboard upgrade right now, I haven't been able to do much in the recent time. The project being delayed added to this slacking period, but I think it will be over as soon as I got my new hardware setup up, running and got accustomed to it.

I want to say I am sorry for that, and this does not at all mean I don't want to finish this. I have already done a track on this one and no one will stop me finishing the last 2% of the second one, with notable improvement in sound quality as a compensation for the waiting time. I now got the same series keyboard I had before but two generations newer :) Expect something great in the near future!

Got an idea for some new project art, so I might give that a shot shortly...

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

For the last month or so, there hasn't been much activity as far as this project is concerned. I myself am likely the most at fault for this, as I remain bogged down by work, and haven't been able to dedicate much of anything to this project, which resulted in a slowdown, and a lack of morale, and lack of work contributions. We've been resting on our laurels for awhile, but now I think it's time we switch things into gear and get back on the road with this project.

JUNE 5TH, 2006

That will be the date where I expect some sort of compositionally complete or even entirely finished product from you. Half of the project is already complete, and the other half is very close to completion (with a few stragglers, and a few who need more time), so there isn't too much of a reason why at least 75% of the project can't be complete by that due date, if not more. I'm going to start sending out emails and actively asking for status updates via PMs and IMs again, so if you have a track that you've been sitting on for awhile, expect that soon.

This is also the time for me to get myself working on several things that need to be completed before the project is released, so I'm gonna get to it. I hope you all do, as well. :)

Over and out. For now.

[TrueLugia121]

that would explain why most of the users working on this album aren't probably getting the job done am i right?

[KyleJCrb]

Considering I just heard two finished songs yesterday, and two more finished tracks are on the way as soon as the person working on them can get to a broadband connection, I'd say work is picking up again. :P

[Rexy]

I'd quickly try another if I wasn't cramped for time. By May 26th I also got to finish off other project tracks too; I also got an entire timetable written out showing what I must do.

Still, yes, I got your PM, and depending on whatever amount of time I have I'll see if I can get in on the collab. :)

[Usa]

Small Update: I already got a hard disk for my keyboard, and I also ordered 1GB of RAM for it. When the RAM arrives, I can create a disco drum set for it, change some of the instruments to newer (and better) ones and record everything :)

A good thing is that it's 100% backwards compatible to my old one so everything sounds the same right now (except better EQs, better filtering, better DSP effects, added master compression and stuff) - but I would really like to put some more work into it to make it sound even better with the possibilities of my new model ^-^

[KyleJCrb]

I've sent out a newsletter to 99% of the remixers involved with the project (a couple need to be contacted individually, for certain reasons), and I'm hoping to receive responses from as many as possible. Even if you are done with your songs, I still sent you the email, as there is some information pertaining to those who are finished in there, as well. So if you haven't checked your email yet, please do so and get back to me! :)

[Rexy]

Kyle, I got your message. ^^ I'll have my bio and stuff sent whenever possible.
Also, if this project still has some problems come September, depending if there's any songs free I might even do a third track (unless you want me to work with cheap MIDI for a bit :whatevaa: ).

[Kureejii Lea]

We're looking for a summer release, so I sure as hell hope we're not having problems come September. =P

[Rexy]

Talking of which... (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=82351) :(

[KyleJCrb]

Oh snap...Back to the drawing board with ye! :P

On another note: Due to a lack of progress and contact with me on status updates, Soraya has been removed from the project. Lea and I decided Raising The Curtain will remain on the tracklist however, leaving 3 songs currently open. If you're interested in remixing any of these tracks, please contact me.

[KyleJCrb]

DUBBLE BUBBLE POST ACKSHUN

I'd like to officially welcome klm09 to the project. He'll be doing Raising a Curtain from Phantasia. :)

[Rexy]

Let me be the first - aside from the project coordinators - to welcome him on :)

[Hemophiliac]

Talking of which... (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=82351) :(

pwha do not be discouraged, i have already reworked some of the issues they have, and the resub will come!

[KyleJCrb]

And now Reuben Kee has joined up to help us out. Welcome, Reuben! :)

[Kureejii Lea]

And now we welcome TheDeath (that sounds a lil odd, doesn't it?) to the project, picking up Hyropolis. Happy to have you! :D

[KyleJCrb]

Welcome, Death!








...*dies*

[Rexy]

Eap... time was too short. I don't know if I'd do a piano part for the Final Boss collab, but rest assured I will do something depending on how my home setup will feel like. Sadorf wants me to take up Fruityloops, so I'll need to play around with that for a little bit. O_o

There's already a fair bit of piano in the collab, if you're short for time then do something slightly less demanding, like tweaking or adding some new harmonies. I hope you'll have time though.

[TrueLugia121]

too bad he can't schedual anything on time though.
still i'd love to see what everyone's got in mind fer the project. should be a great work of art.

[Kureejii Lea]

Que?

[OverCoat]

Wait.

Are you guys still working?

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

Alright, we need to wrap this up.

Some of you have been sitting on your songs for the entire course of the project, but I've been reluctant to remove you, out of fear that I wouldn't be able to find any replacements that could work quickly enough, or a hope that some of you were pretty close to being done would be finished soon. Well, no more: I have placed 6 songs on "probation", which basically means that, if these songs have no status updates or aren't done and given to me within the next several weeks, they will be axed from the project entirely. No time to find replacements, no time to deal with stragglers who are putting their project song(s) on the back burner for other projects, and no more time to deal with procrastinators. This project will be released this summer, with or without your track on it. We can't hold off anymore. There are certain songs that I would really like to see remixes completed for on the probation list on the first page, but if I don't receive any updates within the next week or two, they're gone. That is the final word.

I will be contacting those of you on the list personally within the next several days. However, if you have something, please don't wait for me: Contact me by PM or email.

[The Joker]

It wouldn't be a bad idea to, like maybe, get some people to work on those songs last minute. I'm not voluntering, but i'm sure there may be some people who read the thread, or alreay are finished with songs on the project. Do an announcement!

[watkinzez]

Now that Blood on the Ashphalt is out, maybe Robbie will come through?

*crosses fingers*

The project's already been in progress for far too long; we don't need any more development time than is absolutely necessary right now.

watkinzez: Maybe, but he won't answer my emails. :P

[Rexy]

Tell me about it. norg won't even respond back to me, even if I sent him PMs very frequently.

I think we're both seeing some kind of irk down the line with people who are pretty much straying away from here :s

[The Joker]

Tell you what. I'd be up to doing a song. I can do it in a bout 2 weeks time. So, if there's a song you have in mind, lemme know, Kyle.

[CC Ricers]

Hey everyone, just wanted to say I'm still in the game and very close to finishing my song. Just need a couple closing bars on it.

I hope it'll still be up to par to the project. As it's literally been almost a year in the making and some legacy things are still there from the start.

[KyleJCrb]

We're happy you're still with us, Chris. I think it'll be just fine. ;)

(By the way, do you want to be JustChris or CC Ricers on the tracklisting and website?)

[KyleJCrb]

Here's a little something for those of you who've had patience and beared with us for this long (Artwork drawn by our very own Kureejii Lea):

[KyleJCrb]

You're sure that releasing a project, that's still missing tracks, that soon is a good idea? Just a guess.

Any song not done by the upcoming due date, which will be announced this weekend, won't be included on the final project. Not every song is completely imperative to the finished project (much like every song wasn't necessary for the SFII project). I'm going to be pushing everyone for this last month to get their stuff done, and if it's not done by the time the project is set for release, their song's not going to be a part of it.

[Sixto]

Cool. 8)

[CC Ricers]

Kyle said it best. The initial scores for Phantasia and Symphonia were huge to begin with, and his initial plans back then were just to cover 20 of each. No matter what this is still going to be an epic 2-discer. :)

[Compyfox]

We will see, Bev. I just think from the last comments that all sounds a bit rushed. But Kyle hooked me up this morning, so it's okay.

Again sorry that I can't help out on this project.

[KyleJCrb]

We're "rushing" now because the project has been in progress for over a year, half of the songs are done, and the other half are, for the most part, progressing well enough that I feel most of them can be done in a month. Right now, the project already sounds pretty damn awesome when the tracks are played together (in my oh so humble opinion ;P), so releasing the project even in its current state isn't entirely out of the question. Basically the due date is pushed so soon because a lot of people are getting antsy for release, and certain remixers will hopefully realize that we're getting serious here and need to start wrapping things up. The only leniency I'm giving is to those who joined the project just recently, but that shouldn't deter release.

i'm not saying i'm against this but c'mon!
don't you just think you're being too harsh on the guys you've hired for the job?

[Rexy]

Listen, this project has been in the works for a while. Most of these people were around since the project kicked off last May, and I should know that because I cleared my first track in a month (only to briefly revise it a little later on).

We're lucky for the most part on this considering that Kyle has one of the most user connections anyone can wish for right about now. So be grateful that he's finally going to be able to put this under polish.

don't you just think you're being too harsh on the guys you've hired for the job?

Rexy's right: It's been quite a long time, and I've been rather lenient over the course of this project. I've gotta be honest: There's one or two remixers who haven't even STARTED their songs yet, and they've been sitting on the project for a year. I should've kicked them off long ago, but I tried to stick with them in the hopes that they'd get something done. Nothing's worked so far, so a final absolute deadline is the only option I have at my disposal right now. I know it's a bit harsh, but I've been nice for way too long now. :P

pu_freak: FotS is the one song that's guaranteed to be done right now, whether house and Paragon are the ones to do it or not. So don't worry there. ;)

EDIT: On another note, due to unfortunate circumstances, AkumajoBelmont has contacted me and let me know that he will be unable to continue work on this project. Ichitootah has also been removed from the project due to inactivity and lack of contact and updates. Raine's theme has graciously been taken up by Sixto, so we won't be losing a song due to the loss of a remixer. Now where'd that guy go to...?

[PriZm]

Having freed myself from one major pain (Law), I am free to work on whatever in this project.

If anybody needs help from an arranger/guitarist to make it on the deadline, just PM me.

[andyjayne]

Kyle, I updated the thread for my piece regarding my situation. I recommend that you read it so that you know how things are going. Also, I'll be updating the Last Battle collab soon.

[KyleJCrb]

andy: Thanks for the update. :)

PriZm: I think the major thing that could use your help right now is the Last Battle collab. Maybe write a section for a guitar solo or something after the current section?

[CPacaud]

Seriously, some of my tracks on this project are so old they should have dates besides their name in the tracklist.

Also, last battle, I'm not keeping updated too much on that one. Just send me the signal when it's my turn, maybe?

[KyleJCrb]

Open hailing frequencies?

[AzureZeal]

Hey, just wondering if Arche's theme is still up for the project. I couldn't find it in the recent update.

[KyleJCrb]

No, Arche's theme will not be included on the project due to AkumajoBelmont dropping out.

Unless Joker wants to do it.

[OverCoat]

ughnghm Arche's theme is important though.

I'm so angry that I'm all tied up :(

[KyleJCrb]

I may try it if I have enough time (which at the moment I don't). If I get it done though, I'll send it to you. I have had some inspiration which I am dying to let out on a new mix. :D

I'm switching computers and data, I plan on re-installing Reason 3.0.4 on this computer tonight. After that I'll render it and send it to ya, pm me if I forget plz >.<

I have a lot going on right now.

Thanks Carbuphim: I was going to contact you earlier but didn't quite have the time. I was starting to get a bit worried, though. ;) I'll PM you a bit later.

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE

These last few weeks have been pretty good as far as WIPs and finished songs. I've been able to get in contact with most of you, and I'm finding that you're doing a good job with getting things done and having songs turned in by the due date. We've lost a few remixers/songs on the way, but I'm confident that this project will be excellent, even without their input. Heck, the project is already excellent, just with what's done right now. I'm excited to put it all together and finally release everything to the masses in the next month. :)

On that note, we're entering the final crunch time phase. Here's how this is going to work:

JULY 7TH, 2006

That is the absolute, final, completed song deadline. The ONLY exceptions being made are for those who just joined or picked up another song within the last few weeks and need maybe two or three extra days. After this deadline, no more additional songs will be accepted for this project. Once we hit this deadline, it's all over (unless you're new). Release will occur soon after.

Good luck! I'll be keeping contact with those of you who aren't done for the next several weeks, so be prepared. ;)

then i'd like to suggest 2 or 3 things even though i'm not in this thing?


1. better get the job done then guys. the Project Co-ordinator's not gonnabe please if late entries are submitted.

2. better think alot harder then

3. try to come up with at least a 2 or 3 minute track in a least 2 to 3 days.

[pu_freak]

We have a new manager? :P

Well, some people work a little bit slower than that. That's why there's a month. I'm pretty confident we'll get most (if not all) songs done by the due date. :)

[Rexy]

Yeah, it took me just over a month to finalise Dream Traveler. And look where it is now; on the project, and used as the project preview near the end of VGF's life.
I'm still in anticipation, especially to hear how my peers' stuff turned out ^^

Also, what's all this about remastering on the front page? Is there something we have to do for that?
(And do I still need to send my profile in? I can't remember if I submitted that or not.)

[Sixto]

Me hurry now. You get new song quick. Me post later.

[PriZm]

I'm taking care of that. Basically just adjusting levels for tracks that were too quiet or too loud, and compressing and eqing everything JUST a little bit so that it sounds more cohesive.

[KyleJCrb]

Me hurry now. You get new song quick. Me post later.

I love you, man.

Rexy: I don't have your profile, so send that ASAP.

PriZm: I love you, man.

[SnappleMan]

I am again with guitar, that means you can expect a completed song soon, sir. :)

About time this project got to it's finishing stages.
I am proud of this project, even if I didn't get to help.
Great job to one and all.

ps- soc are you going to do my project's end theme or not?

[andyjayne]

I may try it if I have enough time (which at the moment I don't). If I get it done though, I'll send it to you. I have had some inspiration which I am dying to let out on a new mix. :D
Just worked out how much spare time I'll have over the next month - not enough to start anything new as regards music. Not going to try my had at this, though if anyone needs a MIDI for it I made it quickly.

Not a problem, Mr. Jayne. Just as a note, I'll sign on anyone (Of at least decent talent ;P) who thinks they'll have enough time to do Arche's Theme. No other songs, though.

This flood of good news lately (SnappleMan: I love you, man.) has me very happy. The project just keeps getting better and better. Let's keep the songs rolling in!

[Navi]

Got my files. Expect a complete track i nthe next few days.

[PriZm]

do you really nthe ?

[Arek the Absolute]

myf i am wondering if you will finish your track on my project...

I am kinda hurt that everyone says they are going to and totally abuse my trust. I work around everyone's schedules so that it is convieniant to them.
It really bothers me to see people totally blow me off like that.

It is things like this that makes me want to just stop the project....

You might want to mention this in your own project thread and start sending out emails/PMs. The best way to make sure things get done is to maintain contact with those who are involved with your project.

[Arek the Absolute]

I am in the process of doing so.
I was just urked to see that post...
Sorry kyle.

Quite alright, Arek. I can certainly understand, being a project coordinator myself. Don't worry about it: See things through to their completion, man. ;)

[Sir_NutS]

pc is still broken, but I'm looking forwards to fix it soon.

[KyleJCrb]

Do you still have your .wavs, NutS? I'll be needing those as soon as you can get them to me.

[CPacaud]

...drama?

[KyleJCrb]

Here's your drama. (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=FCCT-31)

[Mr. Fox]

Kyle, I destroyed the Anchoret WIP I showed you last night and made a new one, better, longer, and sexier.

I posted it on the Project Forum so people can feedback it.

Cheers man.

[pu_freak]

What a burst of activity all of a sudden. I guess the sanctions helped

[Sixto]

I still haven't worked on the new track yet but I'll get to it soon. Recording is no fun when you have the chickenpox. :?

[CC Ricers]

Now that the project's finally drawing to a close...CDs? Will we (remixers) still get free CDs? I assume that's why you asked us for wav versions in addition to the mp3s. Can't wait to see what the packaging will look like.

[KyleJCrb]

I'm not sure I'll have the funds to print up enough of the artwork and make CDs for remixers, but we'll see. In any case, artwork will be fully provided for everyone to print themselves, and wavs (or FLACs, in this case) will be downloadable via torrent.

I approve

[Mr. Fox]

Me Done. AIM, please. Get Wav.

EDIT: Kyle I hate to bug you with this but I would like to submit a new WAV of my Anchoret remix. I did some eq work on the leads toward the end, spomething really small, but I won't have peace till you have it on wav.

[Sir_NutS]

Computer Fixxored. I will upload my Wavs this week.

Kyle, check out the appropriate thread on the forums for my WAVE file.

[Claado Shou]

You guys are pretty close to the end, so...don't know if it's been decided or not, but what's the proposed OCR sub-domain addy? I checked the last few pages of the thread and didn't see it.

[ignore the links, they're non-existent]
http://sos.ocremix.org
http://sosproject.ocremix.org
http://tales.ocremix.org
http://spirits.ocremix.org

I dunno...the third name looks the best to me, but I was just throwing some stuff out. Ignore me if so desired.

~.C.S.~

[KyleJCrb]

So, even though I paid off the domain name for another year, HostingOnNet decided not to renew it, which is why the site is currently down. I'm working on getting it back.

Claado: tales.ocremix.org is the one that'll most likely be used.

EDIT: Site's back. Now to solve the billing issue...

[Dhsu]

Or maybe talesproject.ocremix.org, to follow in the tradition of smproject.ocremix.org and dkcproject.ocremix.org?

[Sir_NutS]

kyle, this is an urgent matter, I need to talk to you asap, please contact me on msn.

[Rexy]

Dhsu, that's old style naming. :) See now that we had "sonic2", "kirby", "doom", "chrono" and "sf2" being taken up now? I'm pretty sure that "tales" will be used in this instance.

Also, we have good news to keep this well boosted. CHM and LuIzA's collab has just passed the judges, so we'll be in for quite the release by the time the project comes out :D

[KyleJCrb]

Hey NutS, sorry I couldn't get on earlier: I was posting from work and was on my short lunch break, which was just enough time to get the website situation sorted. I won't be around tomorrow either, but if you come on later tonight or tomorrow night I should be here. Or you can just PM me. :P

[TrueLugia121]

there still hasn't been any word on the project thus far?

What on earth are you talking about? If you want a progress report, try checking the first post.

[KyleJCrb]

there still hasn't been any word on the project thus far?

Errr...What word? I've been saying for the last several pages that progress has been well, and as Lea mentioned, the first post has a full status report of all the songs, which has been updated almost daily for the last couple weeks. What word are you looking for exactly?

[pu_freak]

there still hasn't been any word on the project thus far?

:? This is the 77th page with "words" on the project... Kyle's been giving an update almost every week and the project site (forum) and the 1st post gives all the other info... what more do you want?

Due to a lack of response from certain others, SnappleMan will now be taking over the duty of the opening version of Fighting of the Spirit.

Tell him I can always help, especially if he needs some kind of guitar battle, which would fit the song nicely.

Dang I hoped for another housethegrate ReMix... Ah well, as long as you guys make this song perfect and the best one of the project it's ok with me

That's not too much to ask... right? :P

[The Joker]

I'd wager to say, that the last battle collab has the potential to be the best track on the project. The midi sounds pretty damn convincing anyway.

I was actually thinking about submitting on of my tracks. Though, I'm not sure. If I did I'd lean towards my Freeze remix.

Hmmm... Any suggestions?

[TrueLugia121]

my suggestion would be to give it a go if you can.

[ocremixfan]

deadline getting close! yay!

I've missed this project till now... at least I'll not be anxious for long! :D

raising a curtain, mint theme, stream of time, sylphys, be absentminded, take up the cross, freeze, the dream will never die, and... fighting of the spirit!!! woooooo! *joy*

By the way, just as a general announcement: Expect another short preview of the project in the next several weeks, after the due date. And then, RELEASE!

Keep those WIPs and finished songs coming, folks!

[TrueLugia121]

previously i posted that we're over the due date. i found outthat my calender was set wrong, i was wrong, my apologies.


also on the point on getting previews in how many are you looking to get in until the hosting starts?

[KyleJCrb]

Buh? You mean how many songs are going to be in the next preview? That depends on just how much of the project I want to reveal. :P

EDIT (6/28): I'll be gone from today until Saturday. I don't think I'll have internet access until I get back, so I leave the project in Lea's hands until then. See ya!

[The Joker]

Darnit. I just posted a wip for Arche's theme... then the site goes down. Man, Hopefully this won't interfere with my submission, as my track was hosted on the site (Chronometical).

I got it, so don't worry.

Also, I'm getting some wireless at the motel, so I'm still coming by here from time to time. :)

[The Joker]

Edit: Posted a longer, nearly finished wip of Arche's Theme at the boards.

[KyleJCrb]

I'm back in town, and we have less than a week before the deadline. Let's keep crackin', folks!

[The Joker]

So, I, um... posted a finished mp3 of my track over at the boards. In case, you know, anyone wants to hear it.

Also, man, more activity at the boards... hordes, swords... floors'ed... smores!

[KyleJCrb]

Thanks, Joker. I got it.

Okay, let's skip the small talk. Here's the list of songs that absolutely need to be done by the end of this week (the July 7th deadline):

Red Tailed Fox & Dj Carbunk1e - Morlia Gallery
JustChris - Sheena's Theme
Paragon - The End of a Thought
SnappleMan - Decisive
EgM - Tales of Symphonia
Usa - Desert Flower

I have been talking to several of the newer people on the project, and I've decided to give them a small extension to July 12th. Here's those folks:

SnappleMan - Fighting of the Spirit
klm09 - Raising a Curtain
Reuben Kee - Forest of the Treant
Sixto - Raine's Theme
TheDeath - Hydropolis

Please keep in mind that if any of these songs are not done and submitted to me by their respective due dates, they will NOT be on the final project, unless there is an issue. If there are any issues at all with meeting these due dates, please speak to me. Good luck.

[TrueLugia121]

3 days until the due date and yet thee STILL hasn't been any progress no offence?

[Rexy]

Seriously, I'm not Kyle but I think we have enough for an album whether the tracks are complete or not. Now stop complaining and let him get on with it. :P

[Sixto]

Phew, thanks for that extension. :wink:

[Azreous]

3 days until the due date and yet thee STILL hasn't been any progress no offence?

Please refrain from touching the Post Reply button again until the project is released. Please.

Kyle, been following this thread as a lurker for about a year now, and things really look like they're shaping up nicely. Keep up the good work.

(This is also from a guy who used to live in Phoenix before he ran away from the heat to Flagstaff, so props for that.)

[Kureejii Lea]

3 days until the due date and yet thee STILL hasn't been any progress no offence?

I'm sorry, but this is asinine. Why are you complaining? What exactly are you looking for? How can you pretend to know how much progress there's been when a) you yourself can't see the private WIP forums or know what goes on among email/IM/PM? Don't whine about there not being "any progress" when we've all been working our asses off behind the scenes.

Funny, I was just IN Flagstaff last week. :lol: Love it there. Wish I could've stayed. Thanks for the comments, as well. :)

There has been a lot progress over the last month; It's hard to see with seemingly nothing going on publicly, but it's there. I can definitely vouch for everyone working incredibly hard on the project lately. However, we're running into a few snags which may prevent hitting release on our original target date, or even a release this month. I don't want to be the downer here, but I really want to see this project to its full completion by the groundwork we initially started with, and in order to do that, we're going to have to pull a Twighlight Princess and delay. I can't say (and don't want to; it's disappointing for everyone) when the project will be released, but I do want to thank everyone for waiting so patiently for us to get the project out. I don't want to set a release date until I'm absolutely sure we can stick to it. The current final due dates still stand, though I will probably not make the harsh cuts that I was initially planning on. This delay will also give a chance for the nearly complete (much further along than this project is, anyway) Project Chaos Sonic project to have more than a week in the Spotlight. :P

That said, I know you've all been very patient, so I want to reward you (and show that we're actually doing SOMETHING :P): Expect an early released project track within a day or two. :)

[TrueLugia121]

i'm not trying to hurry you guys up or anything, just tryna understand why there still hasn't been anything since the co-ordinator was away.

[KyleJCrb]

i'm not trying to hurry you guys up or anything, just tryna understand why there still hasn't been anything since the co-ordinator was away.

Uh, hello? I've been back for 3 days now. You shouldn't be assuming a lack of progress and work just because you can't see it.

[pu_freak]

i'm not trying to hurry you guys up or anything, just tryna understand why there still hasn't been anything since the co-ordinator was away.

Lugia, just be silent. Please. Just because you can't SEE anything doesn't mean nothing happens. Do you ever post ANYTHING that isn't complaining or telling people that they're doing a bad job? Try a few ReMixes yourself and then realise what it must be like to organize a whole project. Let the guys work, there's been a massive activity boost the last couple of weeks (you can see that by just looking at the track list) and everyone's doing a great job.

That said, I can't wait to hear the preview! Finally something we ordinary people can hear of the project :P

[Dhsu]

Well, I think having a status report for the tracks on the site like k-wix did for the Cave Story project would be helpful, so people kind of have an idea of where we are.

[Liontamer]

I literally don't care about a status report or need one as long as stuff is moving forward. I'm a patient man. Plus, I've never cared about people asking when it comes out. This one has most of the material done, so there's nothing to worry about. When a project's done, it's done. Occupy your time some other way.

[KyleJCrb]

Well, I think having a status report for the tracks on the site like k-wix did for the Cave Story project would be helpful, so people kind of have an idea of where we are.

[Usa]

Hi there!

Two weeks ago all hell broke loose here for me. My notebook overheated and crashed a lot, corrupting the RAM and later the hard drive. I was computer-less for a few weeks, and just came back to see I missed the final deadline for the songs.

I really don't know what to say now, because I didn't have a chance to do anything about it, since the shop where I bought the RAM for my new keyboard seemed to have cheated me. They didnt respond to my fax, my e-mails, my eBay contact form post, my shop contact form post, and the telephone number does not exist. In addition now I lost my confirmation mails of that transaction because of the notebook crash.

At least I got a replacement notebok right now and am setting it up again. But: All of my plugs have to be reinstalled, and lots of them are not Universal Binary (Intel compatible) yet, so they won't run on my new MacBook Pro.

The only thing I could do right now is to re-mix and record the song "as is" with my new keyboard's internal sounds the best way I can do. I hope that would be enough.

And sorry for all the trouble I might have caused.

[The Mutericator]

Oooh, my sincerest sympathies, Usa, I've had something like that happen before (puting in bad RAM fried the motherboard, had to get new RAM and MB), so I know how it feels... good luck getting set up again.

[DeathShadow]

Hi there!

Two weeks ago all hell broke loose here for me. My notebook overheated and crashed a lot, corrupting the RAM and later the hard drive. I was computer-less for a few weeks, and just came back to see I missed the final deadline for the songs.

I really don't know what to say now, because I didn't have a chance to do anything about it, since the shop where I bought the RAM for my new keyboard seemed to have cheated me. They didnt respond to my fax, my e-mails, my eBay contact form post, my shop contact form post, and the telephone number does not exist. In addition now I lost my confirmation mails of that transaction because of the notebook crash.

personally, i'd rather you work on it to the point that it comes out how you wanted it than hurry up and half-arse it for the project itself... or at least re-make it afterwards :)

[KyleJCrb]

The deadline became less of an importance this past week, simply because a release this month would conflict with SnappleMan's Sonic project, and because I'd rather have a complete project in a month or two than half of a project now. :lol: I'll talk to you more about it later, Usa, but for now I'll just say don't worry about it: just take your time for a little bit. :)

Bongo Bill: Well, since release is, of course, getting pushed back, it's gonna be awhile. I'll let you know when they're ready (Tip: It won't be in the next couple days :P).

EDIT: Forgot to mention that everyone should go check out Reuben's Treant WIP: http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=87120

And now...

Your first taste of the project is finally here, folks!

[AzureZeal]

Sweet. Very sweet.

[pu_freak]

*drool*

I couldn't wait for the project release before, but now it's only worse! :P

[Azreous]

I like it, particularly the guitar at 1:20.

Somehow it's having the opposite effect and making the wait more tolerable. Knowing that more like this is on the way makes it easy to be patient.

[The Mutericator]

I likes.

Great job, Hale-Bopp, this is great stuff, especially when you add in that most of the time I don't like lyrics... this is one of the few songs that I actually like for them (the only other two being Lover Reef and Da Black Market).

[PlastikBag]

Congrats Hale-Bopp, that's some awesome stuff there.

[PriZm]

Yep it's very nice. And by nice I mean totally sweet.

[Arek the Absolute]

wouldn't it be sweet if it was like kfc then you then me a month after each other?

[Dhsu]

I could get used to the idea of monthly project releases.

[pu_freak]

I could get used to the idea of monthly project releases.

If they all have this kind of quality, I'm not complaining either

[Hale-Bopp]

Thanks for listening, you guys. It only gets better from here! :)

[The Mutericator]

Thanks for listening, you guys. It only gets better from here! :)

Way to be all humble about it, ass. xD

[Kureejii Lea]

Thanks for listening, you guys. It only gets better from here! :)

What? Now, I could understand maybe if Kyle or myself had said that, as I'm pretty sure Hale was referring to the rest of the project, but that seemed kinda outta place...

[Dhsu]

xD

[KyleJCrb]

XD

[SnappleMan]

XD

[The Mutericator]

^ Thanks for the defense, David, Kyle, and Snapple.

I was just kidding, Kureejii. Calling to attention the fact that he's being humble whilst jokingly insulting him (I can't insult someone's humility with a straight face).

I think I see where you misunderstood me, though - I meant he was being too humble about his own work compared to everyone else's, not that he wasn't being humble enough about the project as a whole. ^_^

[Black Mage]

Seems that this is going to be another great year for album projects. Chrono Symhonic (original and possibly SE), Blood on the Asphalt, Summoning of Spirits, Milkyway Wishes, just to name a few!

Bound Together, Cave Story Remix Project. There's a lot of good stuff that is released or going to be released.

I gotta be honest: from what I've heard, CS SE easily trumps the original. You'll have to wait and see how, though. ;)

[KyleJCrb]

^ Thanks for the defense, David, Kyle, and Snapple.

Almost missed this, but...Who said I was defending you? ;P

[djpretzel]

I'm a huge fan of Summertime, play it quite often, and am glad we're seeing a follow-up - excellent work. Some of the progression/vocal reminded me alternatively of Hotel California and Stairway to Heaven, which are both great (if overplayed) songs to be compared to, I would think.

Kyle - any chance I can release my track as an additional preview track in about a week or so? Pretty please?

[KyleJCrb]

Hey djp, good to see you around here. I've sent you an email regarding your request, so you may want to check that.

[The Joker]

In other news... Pacaud report to the project forum for de-briefing, or is it briefing (haha, briefs)?

[Sixto]

I think I need another extension! I'm scrambling like mad to get this done today but uploading a huge wav takes HOURS on dial up. :?

[Dhsu]

Haha...you could always mail a CD-R to Kyle. ;)

[KyleJCrb]

If it's a big hassle, fire me off a 320kbits CBR MP3 file or a FLAC instead: Much smaller and it should still work just fine. ;)

myf & Arek: Don't you have your own project thread for this stuff? :P

LT Edit: Yep. Banter about it in the MWW project thread.

myf Edit: Mah bad, homez.

Kyle Edit: Postjack'd!

Arek Edit: Always gotta player hate

[The Joker]

Yeah. I'm on dial up as well, & I just use a lossless format, in my case monkey's audio, & upload that. Takes about 2 1/2 hours or so.

Arrangement and performance was awesome. Didn't like the snare sometimes (e.g. 1:19, 2:31); tone sounded a little out of place. The vocals and harmonization are good but could use some delay so they aren't so dry. For a few seconds, the vocals at 3:06 sounded too much like they were stapled on top of the music, maybe because the background instrumentation was so light. Vocals from :31-:41 could be a little bit louder; a bit hard to hear in places. Heard an audio deformation at 2:57. Really minor criticisms, overall.

David's suff is always well put together. Very very strong stuff. I'm a fan of the source tune, and you really fashioned something unique and creative out of it.

[Claado Shou]

I am INTENTLY waiting upon this project. Sorry that I wasn't able to have my piece in here, but I'm sure TheDeath will be able to do it better justice than I.

Here's to a surely-memorable project.

BTW, Hale-Bopp's new song, dare I say it, trumps Summertime. Blasphemy, I know.

~.C.S.~

[housethegrate]

Sorry, but nothing will ever trump Summertime.

[The Joker]

Winter trumps summertime... well, the seasons do anyways. OMGosh, getting closer, can you feel it... jackalope! AHHHHHHHH. Also, the release of this bishie.

[Hale-Bopp]

Heard an audio deformation at 2:57. D'oh! I can't believe I missed that. I'd go back and fix it, but I lost my latest build of the song due to a recent HD crash. The backup I have is old compared to how much work I got done on the latest version. Ah well, live and learn.

I appreciate the constructive criticism a ton! The areas I need to improve in seem to be things I repeat with each new song I create, so I'll be applying what I know now to my next remix.

Anyways, I'm glad you guys are digging the song. rock on. \m/

[CC Ricers]

I know this is way too late to bring it up, but check (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=222052) this out (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=18791) :o

Did you listen to those, though? :P

i remember when that was posted in WIP. I commented on one or two of them.

Seems like that was years ago.

Hmmm been listening to those remixes. Not too bad. Some parts need to fade out a bit so its not so...erm, can't think of the word. Also there are some added sounds that don't do the songs justice. The Final Stage remix is good, which was the example I was using for my little...review I guess.

[KyleJCrb]

This is by no means a personal attack or anything on Urafaerie, I'm just analyzing the songs. But I gotta be honest here: we probably wouldn't have accepted any of those remixes onto the project. They're, at best, barely decent. Most of them need a lot of mastering work, they sound empty at a lot of points, and some parts are way off-key. Never mind the unrealistic samples, the distinct lack of percussion in most of them, and no endings. Some of them are pretty close to being MIDI rips, even. Not enough original material, except maybe some sort of short intro.

I have to give Urafaerie some credit for doing the first Symphonia remixes I've seen out there, but I can't say that they are all that good. Of course, these are about a year or two old, so it's quite possible he's improved.

[CC Ricers]

Most of those were done in late 2004 I believe, and if he was still around to join the project back then, he'd have more than enough time to improve his skills as we went along. Well, I just wanted to point out this curiosity to others.

Project didn't exist until mid-2005, though. :P But I can see your point.

[Sixto]

Sorry my track is taking so long. I keep running into a brick wall. Hopefully I'll be done by tonight.

Totally cool, Sixto. I'm not too concerned about it, since right now we're just kinda waiting for Project Chaos to be released before moving on to the next step, as well as gathering up the remaining songs from remixers. You're clear. :)

Speaking of which: I need to hear from klm09 and Dj Carbunk1e regarding the status of their songs, or they may be removed. It's been awhile...

[Xaleph]

I've been really busy with anime remix 3.0, the final fantasy 7 project, Tetris Attack project, 3 projects at work, and trying to defeat the Twin Emperors with my guild in World of Warcraft =P

oh, and I've been sick the last week.

I'll get you the song in the next 2 days, it's basically done anyways, just needs a clever ending other than a continuous drum loop (default reason thingy).
