-------------------------

Organiser: The Orichalcon

This project is organised to follow the concept that brought forward the Ultimate DooM remix project "The Dark Side of Phobos". Much like that project, we'll be remixing all of the tracks from Doom 2 in various styles depending on the artists prerogative (There are 19 tracks.) We'd like to keep the theme to a "Dark" or more fitting "Doom" sound though.

September 2007 update
DQD is nearing completion. The majority of the tracks have been completed, with the rest being worked on. A few are remaining open so we're still welcoming new mixers. We'll be waiting until the FF7 project has been released before considering a release date for DQD. Plus we'd like to make sure that everything is taken care of properly, instead of releasing prematurely. We've waited this long, might as well do it right!

Potential new mixers: As there are only a few tracks left, we're looking to fill them as soon as possible. If you're interested in an open track, just start a WIP and send it to me. If it sounds like what I'm after, I'll get you to finish it and add you to the list.

NOTICE TO MIXERS
Please do not make your tracks public during any stage in their development. This means no hosting at VGMix, soundclick or other public websites, and no posting the songs in this thread or any other. This is to keep the project classified and also more of a surprise to the future audiences upon the eventual release of the project.

------------------------------

A few of the tracks on the Doom 2 soundtrack are based heavily around certain rock songs, and it was decided not long ago that remixes of these tracks in particular won't be accepted onto OCR:

Map07 - Shawn's got the shotgun - Dead Simple
Slayer - South of Heaven

Map10 - The Demon's Dead - Refueling Base
Slayer - Mandatory Suicide
Black Sabbath - Time Machine (Wayne's World Version)

Map18 - Waiting for Romero to Play - The Courtyard
Pantera - This Love

Map23 - Bye Bye American Pie - Barrels O' Fun
Alice in Chains - Them Bones

Map25 - Adrian's Sleep - Bloodfalls
Alice in Chains - Angry Chair


So if you're planning on submitting to OCR and you've taken one of these tracks, you'll have to pass on it this time.

------------------------------

The Dark Side of Phobos was a great album, and we're looking to equal or even out-do the quality level of that album in creating this sister project. I recommend only joining if you have the ethic and love of the Doom series to create the kind of music we're after.

------------------------------

[Nineko]

you know, my remixing quality sucks, but I want anyway to wish you good luck because I loved Doom 2. :D

[Mr. Bottle Rocket]

if ya'll need someone to come up with alternative cover artwork, i'm there.

i used to be pretty good at mixing...in dance ejay...4 years ago...i don't think i'd fit in this project :lol:

[Ichitootah]

Oooh. Doom 2 is the only Doom I ever actually played. Lookin' forward to the remix of running from evil (though I don't know who that remixer is), and good luck. :)

[Txai]

This is an example of what I can do. (http://vgmix.com/song_view.php?song_id=4219)

I am certainly interested in this Project. I love Doom. Listen to my song. I know there have some problems of volume. But I am sure to improve it in my future songs.

Tell me if I'm able properly to pick a track. If it is possible, I will do some cool stuff with a way of the Doom's Soundtrack.

[The Orichalcon]

I'll get back to you, Txai. Need to clear it with Larsec. Reading through the comments on that mix, it sounds as though you've strayed quite far from the source, you'd need to be closer to the source for the project.

[Arek the Absolute]

Ah, so THIS is the project mazedude talked to me about. Interesting.
Goodluck TO and have fun :)

[Txai]

I'll get back to you, Txai. Need to clear it with Larsec. Reading through the comments on that mix, it sounds as though you've strayed quite far from the source, you'd need to be closer to the source for the project.

Sure, TO. I will do something close in a source of the Project if possible. It would be more easy for me in this case because I could be working in a song wider than the proposed in my example.

If the only problem is the arrangement it must be dissolved. I can do it close of the original.

[Internecivus Raptus]

Sweet, I had a feeling this was coming after the Dark Side Of Phobos ;)

[Amayirot Akago]

I'd give you all a hand, if not for the fact that my remixing skills are non-existant :P Still, best of luck to you all and I'm definitely looking forward to the end result :D

[ILLiterate]

Eh...didn't like the DooM ReMix Project but I've got hopes for this one since the king of DooM remixes (Mazedude) is on it

[chokst~1.bat]

Cool. Just noticed this thread. It's too bad someone already took "Shawn's Got the Shotgun", that's always been one of my favorites.

Heh. I think it will be especially interesting to see what EvilHorde does with "The Dave D. Taylor Blues".

I guess I could take level 2 or level 4. Not sure which one would a better idea. Level 4 has always struck me as one of the weirdest Doom songs ever, so it might be right up my alley, but on the other hand, to me Level 2 seems like something that would be alot of fun to expand upon; while still retaining the melodies and feel of the original to an extent. That Level 2 song is like a staple in my head from trying to beat that level on Nitemare mode so many times without using the saving feature. :lol:

Well, I guess if someone decides to take one of those two choices, I can take the other. Or something. Seems like a blast to me.

[The Orichalcon]

I've heard plenty of your music, Chokster. However can you show me something of yours that would be dark sounding and a little more on the norm of music.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

I was considering posting a mock sign me up for this song... oh... no... wait... don't kinda post.

Then I realized Doom is dark and disturbing which really agrees with me musically.

[Navi]

sign me up for Adrian's Asleep.

do you need samples?

[Rexy]

TO, I think you know how most of my stuff goes ;) Or if you want anything in specific I could pass it down to you.

Nonetheless, I'm leaning Level 3 (Countdown to Death) should you want me on.

[Internecivus Raptus]

I hope Juha Kaunisto does a good job on 'Running From Evil', its DooM II's 'At DooM's Gate' ;)
And we all know what a deliciously good tune was created from that by EvilHorde ;)

[RoeTaKa]

I knew this project was gonna happen, but not so quickly, TO you should've given me a shout! Good to see I'm on the list though, yeah I'll take part. I wish I'd known earlier to pick a cooler source, but I think I have some cool ideas for track 23, should be interesting. So, yeah can I take that please? Thankies.

Is there a wip date due or something, or is it a waiting matter till the tracks are all taken and such?

I'll have a chat with Larsec about a reasonable WIP date for the project once we fill up the remaining slots.

Rexy, I've added you to map03 for now. Just let me know if you're certain about that one. I've heard enough of your stuff to know you're good at your music. But like I'm telling everyone else, you must be prepared to go with a dark and doomy sound for this project.

[CIaude]

Bold... Real bold mutha fucka. You need album art, just say the word.

[Larsec]

Just realized I haven't posted in this thread yet, which is rather pathetic actually. Well, me not posting is pathetic, not the thread...

[Txai]

I'm just posting here to see if you guys are interested to sign me up in the project. If my previous sample doesn't work, I have a little more:

http://www.olremix.org/mp3/Txai_-_Crazy_Swamp(Yoshi's_Island).mp3

http://vgmix.com/song_view.php?song_id=5080
The link above is a WIP.

I really wanna join in. I am also interested to cover the Underhalls Theme. It's a great track!

Thank you for your time.

-Txai

[ellywu2]

If you want me, i'm always willing to help.

[Rexy]

Cue me in as a definite for map03 :)

[BlackJackRatso]

I never thought there could be possibly so many mixes for one game like this. I also know that there are already quite a few Doom2 remixes already at http://www.doomworld.com/classicdoom/info/music.php?wad=remix

for those that would like to hear or need insperation

[The Orichalcon]

for those that would like to hear or need insperation

Quite a few of the Remixes at doomworld are actually from OCR too. The guy that's in charge of updating that page posts here at OCR occasionally.

There are still a couple of tracks left to fill. I've added Txai to the underhalls theme for now, and I'm still hoping that DJRedlight will pick a song soon.

I'll probably leave the project here until after Christmas. Those of you who've picked tracks can start working on them if you want. However, I'll set up all the deadlines and such after Chrissy.

[C7]

ahh, it looks like all but one theme are taken. I'd definetely be willing to give it a shot on "The Focus" since its all thats left, although it doesn't matter to me so much what track i get. If you think there's another I'd be more suited to, i'd definetely take it, but the list is almost full. I don't think any of you know me. If someone already has it and its just not listed, no biggie, but give my stuff a listen and see if its up to your standards.

A couple samples:
http://www.cubed777.com/music/rome.mp3 this was done in a weekend for a class party thing. Some is light, some is dark. I prefer dark. Oh yeah, a small experiment I had with this song is here: http://www.cubed777.com/music/romeset.mp3. Nothing big, just seeing how a part of it sounded with a drumset

this one is mixed low at the moment because i never got around to remastering it and yes, the synth at the end is a bit obnoxious, i know.
http://www.cubed777.com/music/Cubed777%20-%20Stealth.mp3


and this last one was from Halloween 2004... i've improved since it (yes, it clips around 1:50) but I still kinda like it and it keeps with the dark theme
http://www.cubed777.com/music/Cubed777%20-%20Abyss.mp3

oh yeah, i have the capabilities to use live instruments as well, although none of these songs use them.

[EdgeCrusher]

I hope Juha Kaunisto does a good job on 'Running From Evil', its DooM II's 'At DooM's Gate' ;)
And we all know what a deliciously good tune was created from that by EvilHorde ;)

Better not mess up Shawn's Got The Shotgun either, cause if you mess with it, you are messing with Slayer.

[The Orichalcon]

That reminds me.

A few of the tracks on the Doom 2 soundtrack are based heavily around certain rock songs, and it was decided not long ago that remixes of these tracks in particular won't be accepted onto OCR:

Map07 - Shawn's got the shotgun - Dead Simple
Slayer - South of Heaven

Map10 - The Demon's Dead - Refueling Base
Slayer - Mandatory Suicide
Black Sabbath - Time Machine (Wayne's World Version)

Map18 - Waiting for Romero to Play - The Courtyard
Pantera - This Love

Map23 - Bye Bye American Pie - Barrels O' Fun
Alice in Chains - Them Bones

Map25 - Adrian's Sleep - Bloodfalls
Alice in Chains - Angry Chair


So if you're planning on submitting to OCR and you've taken one of these tracks, you'll have to pass on it this time.

Cubed777: I had a listen to your tracks, you have the dark sound we're after, and your arrangement is all right. But you'll need to show better sampling and mastering in the project. I've added your name next to the last track.

Everyone: Since the tracklist is full now, I'll put the project on hold until January 1st and hopefully have a full update chewed over with Larsec by then, with the first WIP deadline and other plans for the project. Have a good think about the track(s) you've decided on over the Christmas break. If you decide you don't want the track anymore, then please drop it and inform us in this thread.

[EvilHorde]

Oh yay we have a thread. Been waiting for some info on this project.

I see I have nothing to say, so I guess I´ll just check in. Hi.

Can´t wait to see until we get this baby rolling. Merry Christmas everyone. See you Jan 1st.

[The Joker]

Holy crap. Outta nowhere! I better get back to work on my track... I've been procrastinating. But yay! Another music as Dark as Hell is... hell-y(?) project!

[nousentre]

Ok, if this project were a demon I would of walked 50 feet before realizing a chunk of my organs had been chewed out. I was hoping for this project to re-open, too bad pm offers weren't sent out to DSOP remixers as well. Any possibility of any more tracks being available? I would love to make another remix.

Hopefully 18 tracks isn't the limit? Orichalon or Larsec, hola back yo! I've got a goat ready for the sacrifice. :twisted:

[The Orichalcon]

There are 19 tracks and they're all filled.

I thought Larsec had sent out PM invites to all the DSoP mixers? If not, I apologise. If anyone drops their track over the next few weeks, feel free to pick it up.

[RoeTaKa]

I wasn't PM'd either, lucky I happened to spot this and join up (lucky? You'll destroy the project!! Rar rar) exactly.

[nousentre]

I thought Larsec had sent out PM invites to all the DSoP mixers? . . . . If anyone drops their track over the next few weeks, feel free to pick it up.

:whatevaa:

How bout it Larsec? Would you be willing to give up track 28 or 30 for me and another remixer from DSoP project (that is not already involved in this current project . . . .cough, ANALOG!, cough, cough) to work together on? Something like, um . . . .
"ICON OF SIN"!!?

Hola back Larsec (Analog too if you're interested)

[Larsec]

"ICON OF SIN"!!?

Hola back Larsec (Analog too if you're interested)

Apparently, I never sent the invitation to you, I'm sorry :( Although, it seems Analog did get one.
I would hate to give up those 2 tracks because I have some great ideas for both (at least in my own opinion). Would you be interested in The Waste Tunnels?

[The Orichalcon]

Larsec, it's a community project. You can give up one of those two tracks for another person and still mix the track yourself for fun if you have good ideas.

Also, it's analoq, not analog.

[sumppi]

Better not mess up Shawn's Got The Shotgun either, cause if you mess with it, you are messing with Slayer.

Well, I wasn't actually aware of the connection since I've never been too much into Slayer. I considered dropping the song (not for the ocremix rule since I won't submit the two anyway) but I believe I can find some new approach on it.

It won't sound like Slayer though.

Juha Kaunisto

[Larsec]

Larsec, it's a community project. You can give up one of those two tracks for another person and still mix the track yourself for fun if you have good ideas.

Yes, I could do that... and I will. In fact I have talked it over with Juha and we won't be doing The Waste Tunnels anyway, so that's up for grabs. On top of that I will also give up the other 2 tracks I am working on. Which makes all 3 tracks I have been involved in availible for the community to remix for this project and, as a result, ends my participation in this project. You may remove my name from the organiser and remixer lists, thank you...

[The Orichalcon]

That leaves 3 tracks open then, take your pick nousentre. I'll send analoq a PM to see if he's interested in picking one up too.

Dude,
I did not want you to give up all those tracks, just one. I would hate to see you give up a chance to remix a song, especially the awsome work you did for DSoP! Please reconsider not remixing a song. At the very least can I rely on you to help me with a song if I need it???

As for picking a song I have to go with "waste tunnels", it was a tough choice between that and "icon of sin" but I can't do both obviously. I still would very much like to see analoq and Larsec on this project. Sure fresh meat is good but old meat does the most damage. (yes, my attempt for at a joke)

BTW- here's a link to the original midi files for doom 2 IF someone needs them.

DOOM 2 (http://www.afn.org/~afn04133/doom2.htm)

Much love for tha doomcrew that gave me and the community an extra opportunity to remix.

Now if you will excuse me, there is a goat w/ my name on it that I have to skin and sacrifice for this project. . . .

Anybody hungry? :twisted:

-nous

[analoq]

well i've been invited to this project 3 times now so,
lemme try this...

i've been real flakey with making music lately.

i'm gonna take a stab at 'icon of sin'

but the moment i feel i can't finish it, i'll give it up.

all kool and the gang?
cheers.

[The Orichalcon]

no worries analoq. I've added you to that track.

That leaves one track open. I might send Dj Redlight a message and see if he's interested in that one.

[analoq]

alright, i played around with 'icon of sin' and i didn't have any (dark) ideas for it.

i enjoyed being on this project for the couple days it lasted.

oh well.
but hit me up further down the line of this project's progress if someone drops.

cheers.

[The Orichalcon]

Ok, a small update.

I'm searching for a co-organiser to bounce ideas off for the project since Larsec quit, so hopefully that won't take too long.

I'm expecting people to be on pseudo-holidays for the next two weeks or so, so I'll decide on a deadline for the first WIP deadline before I ask DarkeSword to move this to the next port of call.

However, I will ask that anyone who has time to start working on their pieces now so you have a bit of extra working time.

analoq: I've removed your name from the main project and opened another section for people who are interested in tracks occupied by other people. It might incite some lazier mixers to drop their tracks for these mixers rather than occupy them without work.

Extra note: One thing I have decided is that if you don't meet any of the deadlines, I'll PM you and give you 3 days to send me an update on your mixes status. Otherwise you're booted from the project.

[C7]

i've at least started mine if you're interested in knowing and like how its turning out so far, but i'm going to rework the last section i've got before i post a wip or anything

[The Orichalcon]

Update as of 30th December 2005.

Ok, as of January 1st 2006, this project will be back in working progress, since most people should be back from Christmas/New Year celebrations by then, if not soon after.

I've decided that the first Work in Progress will be due on Monday February 6th, 2006. That gives you roughly 5 weeks to get started. By that stage I expect at least a bare-bones work in progress of the track that gives a good indication of where the piece is headed in terms of arrangement. This will also be the time to decide whether you want to stick with the piece right the way through the project, or want to drop it and perhaps pick up another one.

I will hold the right to redirect anyone on the direction of their piece for the project. If someone submits a WIP of a track and it isn't meeting the pre-requisites set at the beginning of the project, I'll either ask them to rework it, give them suggestions on what direction to take, or ask them to start again. This will most likely be a worst-case scenario though, so don't worry too much. I'm not going to ask people to rework personalised arrangements and such to suit my tastes, but rather rework the general sound of a mix if I find it is too basic, or isn't "dark" enough for the project. If someone misses the deadline, they'll have a week to PM me or post in the thread as to their reasons, after which they will be immediately terminated from the project and the track will be filled soon after.

On January 1st I will send both a forum PM and an email out to all mixers involved in the project updating them on what will be required over the first WIP phase. I will also be creating the relevant topic in General Discussion to fill the last few tracks and get some publicity.

This isn't required just yet, so I don't need/want anyone to respond to these yet, just to keep in mind if you're interested later in the project. As the project nears the finish line, we'll need:

A website designer
CD art and cover designer
Someone to keep track of the project's progress for article updates (ie: Wikipedia)
Publicity
Torrent Seeders.


So all mixers need to get to work on their pieces if they haven't already, you have under February 6th 2006 to get the first WIP in to me. Go forth young marines!

[Jered Cain Denton]

Loved Dark Side of Phobos, guys. I can't wait to see this one.

If I knew about this before, I would've gotten my dad to see what he could do. I might still, just to see.

I'll help however I can when the time's right.

[DarkeSword]

Hey wow you guys got exactly 1,000,000 remixers assigned to 1,000,002 tracks in like 3 minutes. Amazing, you must tell me your secrets!

Moved to GD for a week GO GO GO DOOM 4EVA!!!!!!!

[The Orichalcon]

Thanks Darke.

Anyone noticing this for the first time. There are 2 tracks still available if you're interested, just post some samples of your work and which of the tracks you're interested in.

Otherwise you can put yourself down on the redlist if you want to be contacted when someone drops a track.

Current Mixers: I'll be sending those PM's out tomorrow with all the information about the first deadlines and guidelines.

[Compyfox]

Sorry to hijack this thread. But why didn't you ask Mazedude and CotMM for this project? They'd totally fit it and make it more "agressive". Just listen to the stuff Maze already made in terms of Doom2 remixes.

"Barrels of Fun" revisited, anyone?!



And before you ask... no I won't do a mastering job. Sorry.

[The Orichalcon]

Check the mixerlist. Mazedude is on map20.

[Compyfox]

Oh... sorry

[Hemophiliac]

i'm gonna take a look at The Spirit World - Getting too Tense, but i'm not promising anything right now.

[OverCoat]

Opening to Hell is... open?

Can I do it? :D

[Trygon]

I would give three fingers off my left hand to hear CotMM remix Doom.

[Global-Trance]

Woooo a follow up already. Good times.

[Arek the Absolute]

Woooo a follow up already. Good times.
:(
All I got when I made my kirby project was "STOP COPYING DARKESWORD YOU ASS"...and I didn't even know that another Kirby project existed when I made mine...

[The Orichalcon]

Opening to Hell is... open?

Can I do it? :D

Post some samples for me first.

Hemo, I've added your name for now.

[OverCoat]

Post some samples for me first.

Hopefully that'll be enough. I also have an OC ReMix on this site, but probably not the mood you're looking for [it's more of a chillout thing].

[Rexy]

SOC, you posted your Compost 15 entry twice :P
Anyway, nice to see the ball is steadily moving. I'll hopefully have enough time to cough something up by then.

[OverCoat]

SOC, you posted your Compost 15 entry twice :P

it makes it seem like I have more material

[The Orichalcon]

Looks good to me, Overcoat. I've put you on the track. I guess that fills up the list.

[OverCoat]

Ha Ha!

Last track.

Well that sure filled up quick, didn't it? :P

[The Orichalcon]

I've sent out the update PM to all the mixers. The project is now in full swing. Get cracking on those mixes, your first deadline as you know is February 6th.

[The Orichalcon]

Juha Kaunisto has had to pull out of the project for now for personal reasons. So that leaves two tracks open for someone else to pick up.

01 - Entryway - Running From Evil
07 - Dead Simple - Shawn's got the Shotgun

I'd prefer that someone who is proficient with electric guitar picks up track 01 so we can kick off the project with some kickarse rock like we did with DSoP.

[chokst~1.bat]

07 - Dead Simple - Shawn's got the Shotgun
Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll start making a sample so you can determine if I qualify. This is going to keep me busy for the rest of the day.

P.S. Your ORC38 (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=73822) midi reminds me of quite a few interesting Doom tracks, including that one. Cool stuff.

[EvilHorde]

Oh man. NOW its open! 01 would´ve definetly been my choice if it hasn´t been taken already.

If no one wants that track (duh, like that´ll happen) I´m more than happy to remix it. That is of course if you accept two remixes from the same remixer. The thing is, I´ve already started the Dave D. Taylor Blues remix and its progressing quite nicely so I think I´ll stick to that...

But tell me what you think.

[The Orichalcon]

I currently have 3 mixes so I can't stop people from taking more than one mix.

Nasenmann has also expressed interest in track 01, and I'm waiting on him to supply a sample to see if he can take it in the right direction.

[chokst~1.bat]

07 - Dead Simple - Shawn's got the Shotgun
Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll start making a sample so you can determine if I qualify. This is going to keep me busy for the rest of the day.
edit: Argh. Nevermind my post, keep this track open. I have so many visions for this song, I would love to turn it into the most powerful and emotional thing I've ever made, but I hate signing up for things before I'm finished. That's just the way I am, I guess, I'm better at being secretive until something I do is released. Anyway, I just tried playing this song again on my keyboard for fun, and it turned into one of the most psychotic music experiences I've felt in a long time, so thanks for reminding me how awesome this song is! Haha.

If you really want the song, I can put you next to it if you want. There's no guarantee that it will still be available later on in the project if you do end up coming up with something for it. If you find yourself unable to come up with anything by the first WIP deadline, well that's what it's there for. There's no pressure on people to stick with the songs they have. This period is for people to work on their pieces and determine if it's the right piece for them to mix.

[Global-Trance]

Someone PMed me awhile ago asking if I wanted to make the website for this project. Is that spot still open?

[Eon_Blue]

Someone PMed me awhile ago asking if I wanted to make the website for this project. Is that spot still open?

This isn't required just yet, so I don't need/want anyone to respond to these yet, just to keep in mind if you're interested later in the project. As the project nears the finish line, we'll need:

A website designer
CD art and cover designer
Someone to keep track of the project's progress for article updates (ie: Wikipedia)
Publicity
Torrent Seeders.

I was waiting on this one too.

[Global-Trance]

Hey Eon, wanna just work together or something?

[Eon_Blue]

Hey Eon, wanna just work together or something?

K.


You're better at this than I am though, so be gentle.

[The Orichalcon]

All right, if you two want to do the site for the project I can cross that off the list. We'll hold off on any design ideas until later in the project though, so if you try anything, don't get too attached to it. :wink:

[Global-Trance]

Hey Eon, wanna just work together or something?

K.


You're better at this than I am though, so be gentle.

I was just sayin... if we both wanted to work on it, we might as well team up to lighten the work load on both our backs.

We'll just wait and see what them peoples in this project want.

[RoeTaKa]

I want to collaborate with EvilHorde again :(, I'm going to message him and see what happens!

[Doulifée]

BTW Ori has an acess to myu webspace and bandwith. feel free to use it.

[The Orichalcon]

Thanks Douli, it's always good to have hosting available.

After a little deliberating, I've placed Evilhorde on Track 01, and RoeTaKa and Evilhorde will collab on Track 07, which fills the project up again.

Edit: Forgot to mention, this thread will be moved to the WIP forum shortly for a small time, just so you guys know where it is.

[nousentre]

Not to jump the B.F.G., but if another track opens up I wouldn't mind doing a collaboration with Joker on a track if he's down with doing one. I listened to DSoP project the other day and I remembered "Industrial Strength". (sorry, not trying to sound greedy)

[shelalon]

Hooray!!
After the excitement of the Dark Side of Phobos album, I was really wondering what about the second DooM which has many good tracks as well
I just want to wish you good luck and stuff, :lol:

[The Orichalcon]

I've PM'ed DarkeSword, this'll be moved to the WIP forum when he gets the message.

[DarkeSword]

This project is progressing so quickly that I predict it will be done yesterday.

Moved to WIP! GO GO GO DOOOOOOOOOOoooooommmm......

[The Orichalcon]

This thread is moving around faster than a marine on strafe-run. :)

[Txai]

All right.

[The Orichalcon]

I probably should have made this clear beforehand. It slipped my mind, so here it is now:

Please refrain from sharing your tracks with the public eye at any stage of their production. This is so the final product will be a surprise and anticipation for the future full album audience. It should go without saying really.

This means no hosting at places like VGMix or Soundclick, and also no posting URL's in this thread. Either host it on a private website and PM the URL to me, or email the track to my hotmail account.

Again to clarify, I'd like all tracks to remain private and classified.

[sephfire]

Just wanted to come in and say I'd be happy to help out musically in any way I can (for what it's worth). If anyone wants/needs and hand with some particular thing about their track or if remixers suddenly start dropping like flies, send me a PM or something. I don't expect to be needed for anything given the high-calibur crew TO has assembled, but I figured I'd put it out there.

Looking forward to hearing your work guys. :)

[reelmojo]

When the time comes and you need torrent seeders, since I actually will have the internet this time, I'll be more than happy to help out.

Just a suggestion here, it would be cool for publicity purposes to coordinate the release of this project with a WAD release that the Doom community is looking forward to. Just off the top of my head, Foreverhood (http://www.foreverhood.com/) is shaping up to be really good and might possibly be done in the same timeframe as this album.

[Txai]

I have sent an e-mail with my WIP to Ori for now. In this morning I've removed the public hosted song as well.

[The Orichalcon]

I have sent an e-mail with my WIP to Ori for now. In this morning I've removed the public hosted song as well.

Thanks, Txai. I should thank you for reminding me early about that too, before the deadline.

Sephfire: Thankyou for the offer, if anyone needs your help I'm sure they'll ask. Also, if a track opens up you're more than welcome to take over the placement.

reelmojo: For now I'm refraining from making a final deadline as I don't want the album to become rushed or drawn out. We were originally aiming for a 6th of June 2006 release (ie: 6/6/06.) It's a bit too early to say whether we'll make that deadline, so I won't commit to it now.

[The Joker]

It would be cool to make a private forum for the project. It's my experience that they work rather well. Gives the whole team the chance to hear & critique eachtoeher. Kinda like the peer review that never happened for DSoP.

[The Orichalcon]

I'll see what I can do. Might be able to set one up.

[OverCoat]

TO I sent you an e-mail RE: my map 30 remix :) just so you know.

[C7]

Gah... must. get. more. ram.

in an effort to fix the gripe i've gotten in the past of my sampling not being all that great and my production values only being average, i've gotten whole new sound libraries and done significant upgrading. but it turns out my gig of ram is no longer holding up as enough. so my work will be delayed a bit (i'll still make the feb 6th deadline), but i at least already have a very solid 2 minutes completed (pre-mastering). I'll probably pm a copy/link of it to ori and see if i'm heading in a direction he sees fit.

and yeah, that private forum idea sounds very nice

[EvilHorde]

Word. I´m just writing a message here cause since the threads relocation to WIP I haven´t received E-Mail Reply Notifications.

So there.

As for the project - I´m making good progress with the remixes. They´re starting to sound like I want them to. Yippee.

[Navi]

well i got some decent work done on a wip, just not sure if it's as dark as i want it to sound. we'll see.

[bladiator]

well i got some decent work done on a wip, just not sure if it's as dark as i want it to sound. we'll see.

Oooh, I wanna see some doom pop cheese. That would be awesome.

....what?

[The Orichalcon]

Ok guys, I still need a few email addresses before I can start forward project progress messages.

I have the email addresses of these people:

The Orichalcon
RoeTaKa
Rexy
Overcoat
Evilhorde
Nousentre
Mazedude
Cubed777
Joker
Txai
Nasenmann
Sir Nuts
Mythril Nazgul
Hemophiliac
Prophecy
Bladiator


For anybody that's sent me WIP's so far, Keep working on the pieces, I'll check all the WIP's on Feb 6th and give feedback then over the course of that week. This is so things stay organised. If you're happy with your WIP so far, you're free to continue with it. However if you want to wait until Feb 6th to see if you're heading in the right direction, feel free to wait. There's no rush on the project right now.

One thing I will say though, now that we're swinging with the project is that I want all mixes to backup their projects to avoid any unfortunate accidents. This means saving the file twice in separate locations. If you decide to scrap a mix and start over, then keep the old file and it's backup just in case as well.

Once we've passed the first WIP deadline and are on our way to WIP2, hopefully Darkesword will move the topic to the Site Projects forum, at that point I'll ask that all mixers check the thread at least once daily, or however often you come online. Important notices will go out through email though, which is why I need a working email address from the people listed above.

[Internecivus Raptus]

Mazedudes working on the project?

Holy shit, this is gonna be sweet!

[The Orichalcon]

Just need Hemo and Prophecy's emails now. I can get Hemo's all right, but Prophecy seems to have disappeared from the internet, anyone know where I can contact him?


Also, I'll send out an email to everyone with some instructions for the first WIP deadline a couple of days before the first deadline. All of you should have at least started your mixes by now and have something to offer that's indicative of the direction of the piece.

Let's keep powering on, people.

[The Orichalcon]

I have everyone's email address now. Expect a mass email in a couple of weeks before the deadline.

[Rexy]

Yeah, I was about to give you Proph's mail address (and if all else fails there's also PMs). He even told me he was fighting a bug this past month, but I'm very optimistic that he will pull through for the album.

My side of the deal is coming along okay. I should have plenty of time to work on it some more this week now that I don't have to do a damn thing in the PRC :)

[The Orichalcon]

Deadline's coming up, I'll send out a mass email soon to go with it.

If anyone has their WIP finished, they can start emailing it to me at the_orichalcon@hotmail.com. Attach the file to the email if you can. I'll listen to all WIP's from Feb 6th and give you all direction. If anyone's sent me a WIP so far, resend it as an attachment to that email address, even if you've already sent it over the last few weeks, just so I don't accidently leave anyone behind.

Remember, I'm looking for the elements of your remixes for now, the basics that shows me what style and what direction you're going with the piece.

I'll send the email out over the next week.

[The Orichalcon]

sent out the first mass-email. If anyone didn't receive it, let me know so I can check the list and check it twice.

[Rexy]

Received :)

Just out of clarification, I know that in the first WIP you want where the track is going, although are you looking for the sketch of a full arrangement, or a fleshed out portion of the song, or something like that?

Haha, too many commas :oops:

[The Orichalcon]

doesn't need full arrangement, or sound quality. I'm just after an indication of the direction you're going with the piece, so I can turn you around if need-be.

[OverCoat]

TO, I had an idea!

As much as I hate crossfading, I still think this would be cool. Basically it involves Prophecy, my song, the text at the end of the game, and the track order. I was thinking our songs could tie together and stuff.

Of course, I haven't really cleared this with Prophecy yet [who I hope reads this message!], but if you don't like the idea then we wouldn't do it anyway.

Anyway I have a question. Crossfading, yes or no?

Also you never answered the question from my email, but that's ok, I tire of the existing sample anyway. However I would like you to do me a favor: Could you get the End Boss vocal sample? The one that's just Romero's voice pitched down and backwards? If you could, that'd be great ^___________________^

[The Orichalcon]

I can rip that from the game and send it to you pretty easily. That's the beauty of wintex :D I can rip any number of effects from the game too for anyone who wants them. However, make sure you don't rely on sound effects to carry the piece.

As for cross-fading. I am planning to have the music link together from track to track as smoothly as possible. However, I haven't decided on the track order yet, so don't bother contacting anyone about crossfading just yet. Stuff like that can usually be quite easily edited in towards the end of the project. Once I know the style of the pieces, I'll do what Myth did for DSoP and divvy the tracks up so there's a variety on both CD's.

[Mr. Bottle Rocket]

why not just keep the level order? insures no gripes from the public there.

[C7]

^^^ because its very important to make the whole PROJECT as enjoyable to listen to as possible. If there happens to be a bunch of slow mixes in a row with the standard level order or a bunch of fast ones in a row, etc then it doesn't keep the variety across the board as evenly and would lead to an unbalanced overall product

[The Orichalcon]

Cubed has it spot on. The majority of the tracks will probably still end up roughly in the correct position. I'd like to start the project off with Evilhorde's Map01 rendition, and end the project with EndGame. The rest will be divvy'ed up depending on the styles.

[Mr. Bottle Rocket]

Yes, i neglected to weigh in the fact that these will be differentely styled mixes :oops:

oh well good luck y'all.

[The Orichalcon]

3 days to get your WIP's in to me. I'll post a checklist up on Feb 6th.

[The Orichalcon]

I've started sending feedback to people, and I've posted a new column in the first post and this post. The WIP column states whether the artist has submitted a WIP to me, and the "Checked" column states whether I've sent feedback or not. As you can see, I still need a lot of people to even submit their WIP.

[Txai]

I have sent my track attached in the email. You said you received it.

Actually, do you listened to my WIP? Or if you didn't got the song I will send it when possible.

[The Orichalcon]

Can you resend it, Txai? I thought I received it, but my inbox is void of a WIP.

[Txai]

Sure.

[OverCoat]

I figured out what we can call this one:

http://apple2history.org/museum/images/leather_goddess.jpg

[thanks, UnMod!]

[Rexy]

Holy KS :P

I can say I've rendered a WAV of my first WIP, and it's floating around the Music labs right now. When I go back tomorrow I will make it an MP3 and send it over to you.

[The Orichalcon]

First post is updated with received mixes. Still waiting on Prophecy, Myth, Nuts and Rexy.

I'll start checking some more of the pieces today and send some feedback.

[EvilHorde]

I figured out what we can call this one:

http://apple2history.org/museum/images/leather_goddess.jpg

[thanks, UnMod!]

HAHAHA!! Awesome! I´m with you 100%!!

[Rexy]

WIP sent. Please tell me if there's any technical difficulties... or something :?

[The Orichalcon]

received yours, Nuts' and Myth's, waiting on Prophecy now.

[The Orichalcon]

I'll check the rest of the mixes that I haven't checked yet shortly. New WIP deadline will be decided once I've checked everyone.

The next WIP phase will need the most work, I expect a close-to-finished piece by the next deadline, from which point I'll check them all again to point out things that might need drastic-changing before we finish up. You guys can run your pieces by me if you need help or need to check it over that time period.

[The Orichalcon]

I've replied to all of you on your mixes. I'll be sending out an email about the next WIP phase shortly.

[DarkeSword]

Moved to Site Projects.

Why isn't this done yet?!?!

[Arek the Absolute]

y helo thar site project

[Txai]

Hey thanks for providing the SFX of the game. Sounds clean and cool. I'll be using it wisely.

Proud to be in this project.

[Byproduct]

Great idea for a project! Too bad I didn't find it earlier, now all the tracks are already taken.

Can't wait to hear what you guys do with the tracks, I just found The Dark Side of Phobos and it's pretty nice :)

[OverCoat]

Great idea for a project! Too bad I didn't find it earlier, now all the tracks are already taken.

I almost didn't get anything either! I took the last track left [map 30, the worst song possible :P]. Most of the project filled up in like 5 days.

[Jered Cain Denton]

Okay. As a party interested in how this is turning out...

EvilHorde's doing the Map01 track, I see. He did Hangarmageddeon for DSoP, right?

I don't see that orchestral genius that did "Dark Side of Phobos" anywhere on here, though, may I ask if he had a reason to not join this project?

Looking forward to the remix of Getting Too Tense, here, most of all.

Oooh, Mazedude himself's doing a track.

Anyway, if you need publicity, I can help as best I can once this one's released. Will also help seed.

Yes Evilhorde did E1M1 from the DSoP, his track will be kicking off this project as well.

Danny B did The Dark Side of Phobos track, he hasn't been around much lately, and didn't show up for the track selections, so I guess he just missed out.

Publicity will be great once the project nears completion.

Ok, with Evilhorde and Mazedude, I officially proclaim this project is going to be ****ing awesome! :D

[The Orichalcon]

Let's not overshadow the efforts of the other mixers. Evilhorde and Mazedude have both proven themselves to be great mixers, but I'm hoping that each mixer on this project will make a piece worthy of that "****ing awesome" title. :wink:

[Internecivus Raptus]

Ahh, this is true... :)

[The Orichalcon]

I'll be away for the next few weeks starting tomorrow. Larry (Liontamer) will be keeping an eye on the thread and the project for the meantime if any of you need any help.

[The Orichalcon]

Just a bump to let you guys know I'm back in the swing of things. And a reminder to get your butts in order for the next WIP deadline. I'll send an email out either tomorrow or wednesday for it.

[OverCoat]

Why is it so hard for me to find a Doom .WAD utility?

Google gives less than stellar results, that combined with confusing websites makes a sad soc :(

[The Orichalcon]

WAD utility? As in something that plays them? Edits them? Makes them?

For playing, I recommend jDoom (or Doomsday):
http://www.doomsdayhq.com/

For Editing, I recommend Wintex:
http://www.gamers.org/addons/utils/deutex/

For Making, I recommend Doom Builder:
http://www.doombuilder.com

--------------
Beyond that, we need to organise a name for the project. Since some of the music in both Doom and Doom 2 is derived from Rock Songs by other bands. I'm thinking it might be nice to make a compromise name that honours that slightly underhanded contribution to the doom universe.

Doom 2 is known as "Hell on Earth", one of the original songs is known as "South of Heaven" by Slayer. So I'm thinking something along the lines of "North of Hell" might be fitting.

Feel free to discuss or throw some other ideas out there.

[OverCoat]

TO I mean one where I can extract stuff from the .WAD.

Pretty much all I [feel I] need to do on my song right now is just get that Romero sample. Remember I asked you about that like a few months ago? :)

Also, Leather Goddesses of Phobos

[The Orichalcon]

That Romero sample is in the archive on the front page, which I used wintex to extract from the game.

For Editing, I recommend Wintex:
http://www.gamers.org/addons/utils/deutex/

[The Joker]

We should name it: Still Alive... in Hell, Countdown to Armageddon, Some Kind of Demon.

Or maybe go original & call it "Come Hell or Highwater."

[EvilHorde]

Why don´t we just call it "Unholy Diver"?

[The Orichalcon]

The parodies are rife in this thread. :)

Keep throwing ideas. I'll list them all and we can decide a little later.

[OverCoat]

That Romero sample is in the archive on the front page, which I used wintex to extract from the game.

HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN THERE

D:

[nousentre]

how about using the title from one of moore's books, . . .
" . . . from hell"

And as long as we're thinking about making a parody of songs borrowed for the doom game soundtrack, how about "Vulgar display of Hell". One of the songs sounds like "Walk" by Pantera from their album "Vulgar display of Power".

At the very least you could call it "REDRUM MOOD".(reverse the words for secret meaning if you're wondering why the hell I would choose a name like that)

[OverCoat]

How about "$50 and all I got was a fucking Super Shotgun"

[The Orichalcon]

How about "$50 and all I got was a fucking Super Shotgun"

:) I like it, because it's true. Where were all the other new weapons? :(

[EvilHorde]

How about "$50 and all I got was a fucking Super Shotgun"

:) I like it, because it's true. Where were all the other new weapons? :(

Haha. True but its such a kickass weapon you don´t need more.

[Rexy]

How about "$50 and all I got was a fucking Super Shotgun"
Scott for the win :)

Also, I have my next WIP ready. It'll show the compositional structure; still some things I need to sort out concerning the little drones and the dodgy mastering, but I'm sure it'll fit.

[The Orichalcon]

I'll be placing a new WIP list in the first post shortly.

Many of you still have to get your pieces in to me. You're already past the deadline. This wasn't a "week to get it to me" deadline, it was an "I want this to all be well on it's way within a week" deadline. I thank the people who have emailed/contacted me about their pieces so far.

[chokst~1.bat]

That Romero sample is in the archive on the front page, which I used wintex to extract from the game.
I still listen to your Hells Marshal remix every now and then. Works well in there. :)

Man, it took me forever to figure out how to beat that level. Tried shooting that guy's brain for fun but kept missing; never thought of using rockets.

[NeoS]

I might consider doing that last open track if you're interested in it... I made a short thingy (http://www.sector44.com/neos/doom2.mp3). It's just something i fiddled.

I'm actually thinking about making a hardstyle track from it. :P

Well, it's your call.

[The Orichalcon]

Today is the deadline to get your pieces in, I'm still waiting on several people, so I'm assuming that some tracks will be freed up for others to take. A couple of people have asked for a small extension for various reasons, they have an extra week to get their pieces in to me. The rest of you have today to either get your piece in, or at least let me know what's going on.

I'll update the first post today, and send out confirmations for those who've submitted their WIP's.

[OverCoat]

I'm sending you a new version of my song right now, TO

heads up

[C7]

theeeerrre we go, got my WIP in. College auditions've been in the way but I like the progress that's been made. I hope the rest of those people on the list get their WIPs in...

[The Orichalcon]

Front Page updated. People with extentions have a week to get their pieces to me or they're off the project.

I've started responding to a few people. Some of you will find that I've been rather harsh in my emails. I've noticed from a few of the WIP's that there's a rather large gap between the professional mixers of this project and those who mix as a hobby or are new to mixing. Please note I'm trying to be fair about this and give you all a fair go. But those of you whose tracks are less than professional will have to get them up to par or I'll be cutting you from the project from the next WIP date. Most of you have solid ideas in your mixes, you're just either missing the samples or techniques necessary to pull them off.

Last thing is, I hope those of you who receive one of these direct emails are mature enough to handle it responsibly. Like I said, my goal here is to both make sure this project is of the highest quality, and also to give everyone on the project a fair go. So please take the emails at face value, rather than personally.

Okay, my first ordeal i'll be working towards is replacing all synth leads in my mix yet again and i'll just post a general request for anyone willing to help me out some with it since synth stuff is most certainly not my forte. I would need to come up with a kind of deeper (not lower in pitch) kind of "smokey" type sound for one I suppose and then a clearer up-front and interesting synth lead without having it stray into being piercing. Neither part would work well with traditional instruments. Thanks

Otherwise i'll be checking around for specific parts of my song that I think a particular remixer might have good advice on.

[OverCoat]

I have a revision of my last project name idea which may be catchy [I think it is]: The $50 Super Shotgun Project or maybe The $50 Shotgun Project.

It's a good name, imo. Hardly a serious one, though, so maybe we think of a good "serious" project name also.

[analoq]

i may take a shot at the open track ttyl

[Spotnick]

Well, looking at that open track at the moment and I'm just testing around with it. I'll see if I come up with anything, and btw, I'm not very good at remixing but maybe someone can get any idea of it or sumthing. I'm checking here on OCR from time to time but write all too little IMO but perhaps I can start some day :P

Will be back if I come up with anything, but well, this track seems to be very freely to do stuff with since it's so minimalistic.

[The Orichalcon]

analoq's taken the open track 25.

The extended deadline has passed. I'm still waiting on pieces by Sir Nuts, RoeTaKa, Prophecy and Hemophiliac.

Prophecy has spoken to me about his pieces, so I'm just waiting on him to send it to me.

Sir Nuts has been having PC problems, so send your piece to me as soon as you get yourself settled.

RoeTaKa has been having IP problems with OCR for some time. So I need to contact him, however Roe has mentioned that he doesn't think he can work with Evilhorde, being banned and all. So I need to contact Evilhorde about that (or Evilhorde can contact me and let me know what he thinks.)

Hemo, I need you to grab me on IRC when you're next on to let me know what's going on with your piece.

Everyone else, I'll get comments to you about your WIP's in short time.

[Spotnick]

Hehe, ok. Good to hear it still is progressing. Will be interesting to hear wath analoq does with that track :>
Mine is kinda chaotic so far xD

Lucks pals. Hope this will end up well, as well as all other present projects and the upcoming.

[The Orichalcon]

I've commented on all the tracks I've received so far. Most of them have received some heavy suggestions.

Also as an announcement, Doulifee is now the co-organiser of the project. Since he's as into Doom 2 and it's music as much as I am. He'll be helping run the project as well as discuss ideas and comment on mixes.

We've opened up a mixers-only section on Doulifee's forum, where you all can and should register. I'll send out more details in a mass-email.

Those who haven't sent their tracks to me have roughly 30 hours from now to get their tracks in to me or they're off the project, no questions asked. I'm done chasing people down.

Last bit of business. Some tracks will be opening up in the near future. If you're interested in the track, please PM me about it rather than posting in this thread. Send me a sample of your music as well.

[analoq]

here's something fun for you guys.
if you remember back on page 3, i took a stab at 'Icon of Sin' and then soon after resigned from the project.
now you can know why... here's what i came up with:

http://foshata.com/stuff/analoq_iconofsin.ogg (800k)

i like that kind of style but for Doom it's an auto-fail. fail x2.
i'm keeping the drum loop, though.
cheers.

[Doulifée]

i like that kind of style too analoq. it's halfway between Doom and silent hill.

[Bart Klepka]

Awesome. Looking forward to the release. The first Doom Remix Project was superb.

[OverCoat]

I'm posting on Doulifee's forum now. Name of "Pardessus" get it? XD

[The Orichalcon]

Next deadline is set as May 1st. That gives people exactly two weeks. A few tracks have been completed. And a couple are very close to completion. Those of you that I've sent critique emails to, I expect you guys to submit your tracks to me by May 1st. I'll be doing a cull of the project at that point, based on whether I think your tracks will meet the project's expectations.

I remind people that I'd like you all to register on Doulifee's forum and PM douli with your name.

http://www.doulifee.com/phpbb/index.php

[Hemophiliac]

i still haven't gotten any feedback on my wip TO!! :lol:

[Rexy]

I see the deadline. :) However, I do have problems; one of those weeks is spent away for Easter, and another is spent for exams upon return. If I don't get a WIP in time, odds are I'd request for a time extension.

[The Orichalcon]

i still haven't gotten any feedback on my wip TO!! :lol:

Bug me on IRC until you do get one. I keep forjestings.

[nousentre]

I see the deadline. :) However, I do have problems; one of those weeks is spent away for Easter, and another is spent for exams upon return. If I don't get a WIP in time, odds are I'd request for a time extension.

Same here. I'll try to get something turned in before May 1st but a couple of my classes are cramming in extra tests before finals on that same week.

[Jered Cain Denton]

I've been thinking, for a little bit, about a "serious" title. I've thought of Hell and Back and The Other Side of Hell, but I'm not... creative with names, either.

[EvilHorde]

The Darkness released a single not too long ago called "One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back". So I guess Hell and Back would be out of the question unless for some reason we want to relate to a humouristic rock band.

[RoeTaKa]

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!!

Sorry I've been away and the shizzle, times are complicated, the world needs to turn! I'm just using a college computer at the mo, thought I'd drop a message.

The Orishitpants! Haha, I'll work on my song soon, but I'm not gonna have an internet connection setup for another 2 to 3 weeks maybe.

By the way, I watched Doom the movie and thought it was awesome!

What's the matter Gary, speak to me! Mingy, I think I'm gonna be sick! Ar no, now im gonna be sick too!

[The Joker]

Also, I've been toying around with Barrels O Fun, & if I get something worthwhile, I'll take the track. I'm thinking of along the lines of TCM's "Weapons of Mad Distortion."

Also, towlie & oprah suck!

Edit: So people will think only Roe mentioned the, offtopic thingy.

[The Orichalcon]

The doom movie has nothing to do with this project, talk about it elsewhere.

Roe, I removed you from the songs since you missed both deadlines. If you make a piece, PM it to me and I'll see about re-adding you.

[C7]

Ok, i sent in my wip. Just drop a line in here if you got it, i suppose. If not i'll resend or something

[OverCoat]

I just want to remind everyone to PLEASE go to Doulifee's forum, and sign up, so we can all share comments. I've been working on my song but coming up with few ideas, also I want to see how others are doing :)

[nousentre]

for those of us who do not speak french, . . .

what's the direct link to the forum?

[The Joker]

http://doulifee.com/phpbb/

Though you got to sign up & be added to the usergroup to access the forums.

[The Orichalcon]

The forum is in french, but once activated, you'll see a Doom 2 forum in english.

[RoeTaKa]

Tough break, cool, I don't have time to get on with this project anyway, but good luck.

[Doulifée]

The forum is in french, but once activated, you'll see a Doom 2 forum in english.

once you are registered PM/Msn me or Ori via OCR . and i'll add you ASAP.

[klm09]

Ok, so I'd like to do track 7 (Dead Simple / Shawn's Got The Shotgun). TO and I talked about this in another thread, but I thought I'd post here as well. I suppose I'll read this thread and edit this post once I'm up to speed on things.

EDIT: Right, so I guess I should reg at those other forums? But can I get a confirmation that I'm in this project?

[The Orichalcon]

I'd need to hear a sample WIP before I added you. PM or email me when you have something.

[klm09]

Ok. I'm working on something right now, I have 8 bars of an intro that I'm sort of second guessing, it might be a bit too disjointed from the original. But I'll do a few more riffs tomorrow (it's evening here) and then send that your way. Oh, and it's quite rough, very much a WIP. I'm gonna sketch out the arrangement and the re-record all guitars and rework drums, etc..

[The Joker]

So I'm guessing me & nous didn't get the spot? We'll be working on it anyway, so, if you want to use it you can. Sent you a wip & everything, hopefully you got it.

It'd be nice to know either way though.

[The Orichalcon]

I don't think I received anything, Joker. Can you resend to be sure?

[klm09]

Well, hey, if you guys are already working on 7, maybe I should do 23 instead?

EDIT: Yeah, that seems like a good idea to me; I'll do 23, and see how 7 works out for you guys. I can still do it later on if necessary. Will have WIP by later today.

[The Orichalcon]

I need a guitarist for one of my mixes. klm? Evilhorde? Anyone else interested? Send me a PM

[KingRB]

can i just say... i love doom, i've been playing it for roughly 8 years and it still kicks ass in my eyes... I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! *goes around and hugs everyone involved in the project*

[The Orichalcon]

Ok guys, I've been a bit slack lately in keeping this in progress. We're still a long way from finishing. I've received 2 completed tracks so far. So I'm leaving it in your hands now as to when you get your finished tracks to me. If you want comments on your pieces, post them over at Doulifee's forum and I'll check them out, as will some other members who've been kind enough to offer opinions so far.

So there are no more WIP deadlines, it's too difficult to round up all the pieces and keep everyone on track, since we all work at different paces.

Register here if you haven't already:
http://doulifee.com/phpbb/

Then send a message to Doulifee and he'll add you to the Doom 2 project section.

I'm also requesting that those involved in the project make it easier for me to manage. ie: don't make me chase you down to find the status of your mix. If you're going to be busy, then tell me. If I request a WIP from you personally, then please render a WIP and let me listen.

Any questions, send me a message.

[OverCoat]

Guys, please sign up for Doulifee's forum, this is dismal :/

[The Orichalcon]

I'll be settling on a title shortly, so if you have any more ideas that you want to put forward, head over to doulifee's forum and post them up. Otherwise I'll just pick one.

[The Joker]

I had to create a new name because I couldn't log into Joker for some reason. New name is JKR, but it hasn;t been added to the usergroup.

[KingRB]

Is there any way to listen to completed tracks before the whole collection becomes available?

[The Orichalcon]

No, the tracks will be available once the project is completed, and only then.

[Doulifée]

I had to create a new name because I couldn't log into Joker for some reason. New name is JKR, but it hasn;t been added to the usergroup.

wrong forum, => http://doulifee.com/phpbb not the free hosting one

[The Joker]

wow... I didn't even notice. BTW, I can log onto joker now. I feel rather stupid, in a fuzzy type of way.

[Doulifée]

wow... I didn't even notice. BTW, I can log onto joker now. I feel rather stupid, in a fuzzy type of way.

it didn't owrk probably because you try on the wrong forum :)

[The Joker]

Yeah, I realised it right after you told me it was the wrong forum. As soon as I can find somewhere to upload my track (my webspace is not working at the moment), I'll have a near finished wip of Sandy's City.

[C7]

Joker, if you don't find anything to host the song on, e-mail it to Cubed777@gmail.cmo but spell com correctly and I'll have it up with a link for you tomorrow (i work 10-6 EST so any time around then)

[The Joker]

Thankls for the offer. Still haven't gotten my old webspace working, not sure if I will, though I appreciated having it (thanks Richter!)for the time I did. I got another web thingy, though it kinda sucks, but it'll have to do.

Also, LuIzA sent me her part of the track! Sounds awesome, I just have to get the rest of the track as polished.

[Doulifée]

If you have host problem, Send a Mail & a pm to Me or Orichalcon, the song will be hosted ASAP.

[The Joker]

alrighty! posted a new beta of me & Luiza's Sandy's City track at the project forum, which is lacking in the activity department.

[The Orichalcon]

I've decided to do a list cull to get rid of the deadweight on the project. I want everyone to take a step back and make an honest assessment as to whether you think you can complete your track for the project in a reasonable amount of time. If not, then please step down.

Anyone who doesn't reply within a week from today will be removed from the project. I'll also be requesting that the project be moved back to the Requests forum to appeal for more active members after then.

So to repeat. Even if you've spoken to me recently about your track prior to this announcement, send me a PM to let me know where you honestly think you stand. After a week, anyone who doesn't reply will be removed from their track. I'll also cull the people from the project who I think are fence-sitters.

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

only 14 pages homie

[The Orichalcon]

only 14 pages homie

Thankyou, that was very insightful.

[Rexy]

TO, you know how my composition manages to stand. That aspect is at least finished off, but while I'm at home I can't work on the technical polish. This is why I feel I'd appeal for a collab partner to finish off the production.

[The Orichalcon]

I've gone through the list and made some changes. I'll post them up tomorrow after I get a chance to chat with Doulifee.

[OverCoat]

HEY YOU GUYS

Anyone check this topic anymore? I updated my song, it's available in a password-protected .rar on doulifee's forum.

PLEASE, PLEASE give me feedback, for the love of fucking christ shoe-polish tunafish, help me out here.

Post your songs, too. All this inactivity is making me fearful and irritated, it looks to me as if nobody is working on this at all.

[The Orichalcon]

Activity in this thread is low, that's to be expected, since we can't really discuss anything here. Most people have signed up on Douli's forum by now, so I ask that everyone just frequents there a little more, and checks this thread mostly for updates.

The list has been revised. Bart Klepka is the only one to have been removed, everyone else contacted me in time.

The title of the album has been decided as "Delta-Q-Delta". discussion for that is on Douli's forum.

There are 3 tracks available that I want to fill with new mixers, so I'll see if I can post a new thread for that in the requests forum.

Be sure to post your WIP's on douli's forum as you update them to get feedback, and don't be shy to give others on the project some feedback too.

[OverCoat]

I'm seeing more WIPs and comments ^__________________________________________^

[klm09]

I posted a WIP thread for the third (and *hopefully* final) incarnation of my Bye Bye American Pie mix over at the project forum, so everybody GO GO GO, c&c would be appreciated. ;) Although, really, I don't have that much done yet, but still.

-----------------

Editing a post doesn't count as new posts, does it? That's why I'm double posting, to make people notice that there's new info here.

So, I got a new WIP up, url and comments at the project forum.

[Nineko]

Editing a post doesn't count as new posts, does it?no, it doesn't. but you can delete your old post and rewrite it the same. sometimes I do that when I don't get replies :lol:

[klm09]

New WIP up, GOTO project forum. END.

I figured this would be noticed quicker and by more people.

[C7]

sorry i haven't commented on your new wip yet. been sorta busy but i have listened to it and its coming along nicely

[The Joker]

Updated my track over at the forum. So, yeah, head on down.

[MagiNinjA]

Couple questions...

1. When is the next approximate WIP date?
2. Need any remixers?
3. Will you take me if the WIP date is far enough and you need mixers?

...I don't have much, but I've recently gotten a ton of tools I'm willing to spend a lot of time on to master...I also like doing a dark Doom like style.

...if anyone needs a violin too...I'm here...

[Doulifée]

some track still need mixers i think. contact Orichalcon via pm ;)

[Macavity]

My question is, do you guys have anyone down for album art?

I have some limited skill, so if you want I'd be willing to come up with a few roughs for use as a basis for final album-art designs.

(Also, I've created CD-label layouts inspired by the album art that Claude and Mr. Firecracker did for Dark Side of Phobos, if anyone's interested.)

[The Orichalcon]

have someone doing an official layout for the project, however if anyone else wants to do up some layouts it never hurts to have more than one in there, since not everyone will be pleased by a single style. We had three for DSoP.

[Macavity]

All right, cool.

I've got a couple preliminary label designs for Delta-Q-Delta - they've got a sort of embossed-metal look to 'em.

Should I link them here, or sign up over at Douliffe's fora?

[The Orichalcon]

You'll probably get more feedback on Douli's forum. This thread doesn't get frequented much anymore.

[CIaude]

I have decided to donate my enthusiasm to the project. Also, I can draw stuff.

[Macavity]

Righto, TO. I'll sign up as soon as I can.

(Apologies for not responding earlier, but my 'Net's been on the fritz lately.)

[Macavity]

I have decided to donate my enthusiasm to the project. Also, I can draw stuff.

That reminds me, I've got three cover-art roughs ready, with a couple more in progress.

I should have all the stuff prepped for uploading by Thursday.

[The Orichalcon]

The mixer list for the project has been culled. If your name is gone, it's because you haven't sent anything to me for months. If you want your spot back, show me a finished piece or nothing. I'm not going to let people block a spot on the list where others could potentially be actually finishing some work.

The only exception is Rexy, who no longer has the means to finish her piece. I removed her from the list because I felt the last WIP she sent me wasn't up to par for the final version.

To interested mixers:
The project needs more mixers now and as you can see, people such as Mazedude, Analoq and myself have already completely tracks, so we're not going to let this project just peter out, even if it means releasing a project without every track covered.

Link to some of your best music in the thread if you're interested.

[The Joker]

Also, I posted a new wip on the forums. It's pretty far along, though it has some clipping & stuff. Still needs EQ, which I'm doing. Anyway, it's there!

[Guy In Rubber Suit]

Wow. I totally didn't know about this project. I would like to join, but I haven't done any actual mixes.


I have some demo original recordings if you would like to hear them Orichalcon. I would like the Demon's Dead, however I can understand if you want to pass on an untested remixer.

[OverCoat]

Egads, I've been dropped!

Can you put me back on? I've actually been waiting for more feedback before I do anything more, since to me it's practically almost finished. Maybe I should start actively asking? I thought this project would be a little closer than the other one's I've been on, but nobody's really talking to each other so... I'm seriously unsure of where to go next with my mix, but I'll try and search out some other opinions myself.

I'll hunt for stuff to fix myself, for now.

[Rexy]

Eap O_o

Well I'm actually back at campus, so I can still get back to working on it. From next week I will be able to access the source files again, should you want me to get on with it.

Also, what happened to Hemo just out of curiosity?

[EvilHorde]

Yay we're still on. I thought the project was done for. I consider my mixes 99% finished. By now the tracks are OLD, so I'll have to check if they're up to par. But I'll get back to them and polish them a bit but you'll get the wavs in the near future.

(I also noticed you PM'd me. Sorry I didn't reply, I totally missed it.)

[The Orichalcon]

Yay we're still on. I thought the project was done for.

After speaking to a couple of mixers supposedly on the project, I kept getting this for some reason. The project is only ever done for if the mixers stop communicating.

Overcoat and Rexy. If you want to get back on the project, show me either a final piece or a WIP that I can be confident you'll be able to bring up to par, otherwise I'll keep those tracks open.

Guy In Rubber Suit: PM me these original recordings. IF you've never done any mixes, perhaps you could collaborate with someone to share some ideas.

[Hemophiliac]

yeah i have no idea what's going on, last i was told, TO wanted the drums worked on in Rexy's mix both the writing and the mixing. if i'm incorrect please let me know...anyways

Rexy: if you do write new drums get them too me and i'll input them into the track.

[Rexy]

In terms of writing, do you mean the arrangement of the drums? I'm sure I'll be able to fix any quirks in there at least. And if by the mixing you meant your input for that matter, I'm sure that'll be something to work upon.

[Hemophiliac]

the arrangement of the drums yes, TO said he'd talk to us later about it though. i would like to be on the same page too :)

[The Orichalcon]

Rexy, hop on IRC when you get a chance and send me a message so we can start having a chat about the piece. If you have full access to your mixing programs and materials, it should be simple enough to address the problems I can see.

Also, welcome Sixto to the project.

[OverCoat]

I just posted on Doulifee's forum with a good question!

[Rexy]

Rexy, hop on IRC when you get a chance and send me a message so we can start having a chat about the piece. If you have full access to your mixing programs and materials, it should be simple enough to address the problems I can see.
Well I DO have full access again, however bear in mind that as long as I'm floating around the college campus, I can't even use IRC thanks to college firewalls. The only way I can be given a direct conversation to is through either MSN or Skype.

[Macavity]

TO, I PMed you with updatage on the status of the album art so far.

Hope you like.

[Skrypnyk]

Need more mixers?

Best song (IMO) (http://djskrypnyk.googlepages.com/Skrypnyk-MumboJumbo.mp3)

Best remix done in a sorta weird, sorta dark way (http://djskrypnyk.googlepages.com/RideOfTheValkriesWeirdNothingRemix.mp3)

[klm09]

I meant to respond yesterday, but, I kid you not, I loaded up this topic, and then my connection decided to take the rest of the day off. :(

Anyway, I see I've been dropped. Well, I suppose this is as good a time as any to request that I'd like to do Shawn's Got The Shotgun instead, as I was sort of originally intending to. Bye Bye American Pie, well, let's say I can attempt it again later if needed but right now I'm not "feeling" the mix I have for it anymore. I can upload my current mix of Shawn's and link to at the forums, and I believe I can get the rest of it done within 2-3 weeks or less. I have exams next week, but I think I can squeeze in work on the remix in between studying.

[Macavity]

UPDATE:

TO, new cover-art concept. I may be abandoning the first two in favor of this one. I've PMed you a link, so please tell me what you think of same compared to earlier concepts when you get a chance.

[The Orichalcon]

Need more mixers?

Best song (IMO) (http://djskrypnyk.googlepages.com/Skrypnyk-MumboJumbo.mp3)

Best remix done in a sorta weird, sorta dark way (http://djskrypnyk.googlepages.com/RideOfTheValkriesWeirdNothingRemix.mp3)

They're both good in their own way. Too simplistic for the style I'm after though.

Macavity: Replied. Your cover art ideas are your own though, I don't feel comfortable telling you what to do with that. Just make whatever you think looks best. Same goes for everyone else who wants to make cover art.

[Skrypnyk]

mmmmmmk then.

[Anorak]

If you still need mixers, I could do a track. Would you mind specifying what kind of style you want so I know what to send as an audition?
