Sorry for getting back to this so late; unfortunately work and class has really been kicking my ass lately. Obviously there's only a little less than a week left here, and if I can make time to at least finish up one of my two tracks, I'll do my best to make that happen.

Hey, I know I'm not really active here anymore and I don't really do VGM remixes anymore, but I did have this last minute idea playing the halloween event the other day. I had to add a lot of original material and embellishments given that the theme is very short, but I think it turned out good for what it is. Happy Halloween!

I need someone with past experience on working with OCR and with the final production of a project, as I have only limited experience in this area. *POSITION FILLED* *Arrangers/Remixers to conceptualize and complete remixes. This is where the bulk of the work will be. Brand new or experienced veteran, anybody who would like to take part is welcome. Voice Actors to bring life to the characters in our audio narratives. If you think your voice would be perfect for one of the available roles, drop us a PM or email! Performers who are experienced with any type of instrument and have a high-quality recording setup. Sometimes live is better, so anyone willing to lend a hand to a fellow musician short an instrument or skill would be appreciated. Sound Designers/Audio Support interested in mixing and sound design for the project. Ideally, we would like folks who are willing to provide support and/or collaboration with Remixers who are new or inexperienced at mixing. Mastering Support for bringing the final WAVs into coherency and giving the final touches to tracks before final submission. I have no experience mastering and so I'm asking for someone(s) who is(are) willing to dedicate a little time (okay, a lot of time) to help us get the album through one of the final hurdles. *POSITION FILLED* Anyone who is interested in helping in any one of these areas, please let me know. --ALBUM CONCEPT— First, a special 4-Arwing salute goes to Thomas Neil, who originally came up with the idea of building a Star Fox album in time for Star Fox’s 25th anniversary. He would have been the director for this project, but life became more complicated for him, so he was unable to give the project the commitment he thought it deserved. I thought it would be a shame if this one-only timing for the album fell apart, so I volunteered to bring his idea to light. I have always believed that Star Fox is the flight simulator for everyone who doesn’t like flight simulators. I remember playing the first game, years ago, and being fascinated with the SUPER HIGH TECH 3D POLYGON GRAPHICS, the ‘smooth’ play control, and the choice of different routes to take to reach the final goal, depending on the difficulty chosen. I’ve played other flight simulators, but none have given me the same thrill as Star Fox. Seven games and almost 25 years later, Star Fox has become a respected Nintendo franchise. We had a goal to put together a two disc set of 14-17 songs per disc, featuring a showcase of what we would hear flying around as Fox McCloud. Due to my own life complications, this project timeline was extended past the point where we could release it before Star Fox's actual 25th anniversary of release; now, instead of simply a tribute, we are focusing on the concept of the narratives and music: To celebrate the Star Fox series, we are putting together a tour of the Lylat System from Corneria to Venom to give this Solar System a little bit of the Star Fox experience, All tracks from all games are open and there are no genre restrictions. The deal for the album concept is one track per area on a course between Corneria and Venom. One exception to this is tracks from Star Fox Adventures. A maximum two tracks can be claimed from this game, as I don’t want the listener to spend too much time on Sauria; that being said, if we get more, we may accept them as bonus tracks. --AUDIO TRACKS-- To add a little spice to our journey through the Lylat System, we have put together a series of audio tracks throughout the album to guide our listeners a little closer to the Star Fox experience. We are gathering talented voice actors to play the main characters from Star Fox as they fly through the Lylat System, growing closer to the final goal of reaching Venom to battle Andross. If you're interested in voicing a character, let us know!

This is it -- today is officially the 20th Anniversary of the Tomb Raider franchise. To celebrate, here's a rock ballad mix I've worked on since the very beginning of the year as a tribute to one of my all-time favorite video game franchises. HUGE thanks to @That Headband Guy, @mattmatrice and @IplaiGames for joining me on this project and making this track even more awesome with their perfomances, arrangements, mixing and mastering. And VERY special thanks to Eilaire (http://eilaire.deviantart.com/) for letting us use one of her cosplay pictures for visual support -- truly one of the most talented Lara Croft cosplayers out there. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TOMB RAIDER!!

My track is done, but I'm spending a day or two to take a look at mixing and possibly considering rewriting a short section. Just another day or two!

Also good to know that this deadline extension will be minimal (more like days rather than weeks). We really want to get this album out of the door

@Lucasonic We will extend the dealine again, FYI, but yeah, you better focus on only one of your tracks (SA2 is a bit more preferable, IMO).

Hey, Trev, I originally was going to include "Select" as my piece, but....I've decided to go "Records 1" all the way, sorry, Classic. It's gonna be sort of a tribute to "Can't Stop Me Now" by Queen....since I believe they both follow the same chord structure? You're good. Let's see what you can come up with-and who's track get in the main album and who's is bonus/extra, shall we?

Consider it yours. I have also put you down as a violin performer. Welcome aboard, Trev! As a fan of his music, I'm happy to announce that @bLiNd has submitted a track for the Venom Orbital/Base boss, Phantron! Very glad to have him aboard too. Slimy has expanded his first claim to include the Venom Base from Star Fox SNES and he has also submitted a track for all the main Star Fox themes. Sounds great so far! Also, just a quick note to anyone looking to claim: I have attached a copy of our project overview to the top of the thread, so folks can see where we are in the project and what tracks are already claimed. I have also attached the source tracks from each game to this spreadsheet (well, most of them as of when this post went up) so you can listen to everything and see if there is anything you're interested in claiming too. I hope to see more claims soon!

eee it's so happy! For nice smiles. c:

Definitely wasn't expecting this take, but holy moly it sure is good. There's really not much to say here other than it's freaking beautiful. Thanks so much for this gorgeous piece of music!

I have been listening and downloading songs from this site for over 7 years now. This song is what prompted me to register for an account. It gave me actual goosebumps in the first 20 seconds. A glorious addition and probably now on my top 5 out of 1000+ remixes I have heard. Great job!

Hey, that's me! Super glad to finally be posted Do check out my soundcloud if you havent! https://soundcloud.com/nokbient

Definitely getting the feels from this one. Which is what this source deserves. Clean & well-balanced production and some great sound design here. An unexpected arrangement for sure, which makes it that much better - it's mellow and reflective, and has a good dynamic curve. Great work!!

The effort and time put into this ReMix most definitely shows. Honestly this is looking like it might become one of my favorite ReMixes on here.

Thank you for this remix. You put a lot of effort into this, and like was said in the write up the instruments chosen were really nice and it held my interest for the full 5 minutes.

Well this is a surprise, I've followed nokbient on soundcloud for awhile and wasn't expecting anything to get submitted here. Do check out his soundcloud, it's an absolute goldmine.
