    VSTs that have done more harm than good

    Not if you know how to use them (not only Waves, but Plugins in general). But I have to agree here. Overpriced, CPU hungry, sometimes/very often not even "that" highend sounding. They're just popular and cost that much cause "pro's" say "that's the best shit on earth".

    Also I disliked them from the day I wanted to uninstall the demos... They stayed in the damn DX listing. So if you want to get rid of them "completey", you needed something like AnalogX DX Remover (third party), else the plugins still exist as "ghosts" even though you uninstalled them.

    Two thumbs up, Waves.

    There are direct links on the website for you to download the MP3s one-by-one.

    Well, I was meaning to have the link for the "whole" sountrack in a compressed file, just like Bound Together.

    We are not the others. And what would that bring? MP3s are already compressed, a RAR wouldn't "compress" the files any further.

    Anyways, Has anyone think about my request?

    Thought about it and as one of those who "released" it, I say "no need for that". There aren't RAR packs for OCR either and you can get all files easily via the homepage. So I have to agree with DarkeSword.

    Now I got the special edition songs from the website, but I wanted the ISO for the cds I would burn.

    Alas, when I started the torrent, there were no ISOs, only flac and mp3.

    Soo.....help?

    Those "Special Audition" (not Special Edition - there's a difference) files don't relate to the "Special Edition". They aren't even mastered from myself. I thought StarSander put them down for the release, even after my request, but he didn't.

    And like PLBenjamin said... you can't have the Special Edition, cause I didn't finish it yet. And no... I don't give out a releasedate.

    edit: and the songs are all teeny tiny. I expect that's from compression, but that's exactly why I would want the larger ISOs with full CD quality. But why 3 cds? They almost all fit on one, and with SE on the third cd...it seems a waste. I guess I'll just put it with the second CD, but then the album art doesn't match and arrggghhh. I always like extra songs, this SE thing is cool, but maybe a bit more support for these 4 extras?

    The songs are "tiny" due to the original songlengths. The mp3s are in 192kbit VBR and the FLACs have "strongest compression" activated. Also C.S. doesn't fit on one CD. Both CDs have a running time of 86:53 alltogether, so they won't fit on a regular 74min CD.

    The CDs are split up due to a reason, and it's compeltely fine. What will be on the "3rd" CD is already known too. Just go a couple of pages back, I listed what will be on there. Always remember... not only the audio material has a specific filesize (1min around 10MB-11MB), but also the "bonus material".

    That's all the support I can give you atm.

    He was being sarcastic. Don't let your ego get too inflated just yet. :lol:

    Of course he was being sarcastic, but the part "argitoth knows how to use cubase" was infact not the sarcastic part. The sarcastic part was "the world ends"

    I meant that all in an sarcastic way - sorry to dissapoint you. Reading the "basics manual" and then you say you "know" Cubase is a joke!

    Produce something "good" with it, then we talk further.

    Enough for the flames now.

    Well... leave it be, Zeality. Leave it be. It'll get on there eventually... As did the Doom project. We have a Wiki, we were posted on Digg.com, some other random torrent trackers, hell even on joystix. What else do you want?

    I noticed that none of the files in the torrent contain track numbers in the tags (MP3s or FLACs). Any particular reason for this? I was going to request that they include the track numbers when they release the "Special Edition" when I remembered that it would only be released in ISO format, and track numbers in the tags aren't really going to work in that regard... So, I was just wondering if some clarification on that could be provieded.

    Any reason why I should have inserted tracknumbers? Arent't the tags already enough? I tagged those files (mp3) with a tool called UltraTracker. If I had done this by hand, it would have taken me hours. The FLACs were done with FLAC frontend and tagged by hand in Winamp. Took me a while already.

    And I don't see the "need" for using tracknumbers if the filenames already have this already, too.

    As for the album itself, I think it turned out great! Thanks a lot. Definatly "professional release" (like you'd see in a store and such) quality. However, an "Extended Mix Edition" would be awesome! Forget the restraints on track time made by the script! Remake (or extend, or whatever) the tracks to the length that the ReMixer feels is appropriate for the song. Of course, stick to the general idea of the whole project, but give each individual track the time/attention it deserves.

    There won't be "extended tracks" of this album. The music was written over a year ago and doing something like this would take another half year to push out a "Special Edition". Sorry to say that.

    Well I dun know nothing about sonic foam, but yoozer might help you on there. I mentionted the closed as "empty room" and "possible bass box" in this cause, cause chances are that the sound that comes from the other side of the room, will be reflected in that empty closed and then thrown back at you with a "bass boost".

    BTW: Bass-traps are easy to make.

    If you have some old small cabinets (those you have at the side of the best), simply stuff a pillar in it and et voila... best and cheapest bass trap you can get.

    Another thing that might be interesting... Has the closet any light in it? Can somebody stand in there and do some vocal/guitar recordings? If so... and this room is used as "dedicated studio" now, why not stuff some foam/blankets/cutain onto the doors/walls of this small "extra room". Then you have an extra vocal booth too and don't have to mess with the room acoustics to get some "clean recordings" in there.

    Else you can get some partitions (moveable walls) to build a "smaller area" within the room and record in there. The purpose is simple: you reduce the roomsize around the microphone and you can block humming/hissing from your PC a bit.

    Depends on you, you have lots of possibilities. Stuff that I don't have.

    The closet might give you an unwanted bass boost due to the "empty room". I'd put some bass traps in the corners of the room and maybe even "in" the closed to prevent that. What's your opinion on that, yoozer?

    Also there's foam behind the speakers, and to the right side of them. But the door to the bathroom doesn't have that. Dunno... wouldn't that change the sound of it?

    Else... well... you gotta play around with your room, try to find the places were you have trouble with frequencies flattering, etc. But a bass track for the "holes" should be some great help.
