To quote Leo from VGCats: "HAY A GRL! LET'S CYBER!!!!"

A small update for the time being. While I'm still looking for ellywu (help!!!) - and Russel Cox, though it's not that important here - I'll give you a small update on the status. Along with sephire, I'm taking over the in-depth mixing/postproduction of SirRus' tracks "Morning Sunlight" (in sephire's hands), "Manifest Destiny" and "Search of the Light" now. Might take me a bit till I'm used to Reason in Rewire mode again, but I guess I have the stuff done in the next days. Also I'll do the in-depth mixing of Reuben Kee's and Pixietricks' track "To far away Times". Then again I still need a handful of files. Namely from ZAS (FM) who still didn't respond to my PMs, mv is trying to do what he can, then it's good to see Unknown (Tyler Heath) back in bussiness (hurricane strike wasn't as bad as expected in his area), ellywu of course *grrrr!* and also sephire though that's okay cause he just got the files on sunday. The project is not dead yet and you still have kind of a "duty" to do. So please keep that in mind. Anyway... I'm back to mixing. I'll keep you updated on the status from time to time. But as Claado already said in the short VGDJ EP#019 hookup, expect a mid October release. Better late than never.

Torrents updated too: http://www.studio-compyfox.de/torrent

In like 1 hour!

Tune in! Liek... NOW! Or... something.

Even though the timetable is already standing on the very same page where this post is too, but you know me and it's kind of a tradition to give you a hook-up. VG FREQUENCY Show #63 - TONIGHT, 10pm EST till "open end" On a sidenote: Even though we know that you "love" VGF and like to call in, it doesn't need to be a habit to delay the show to an over 6+ hour span, like it is done lately. Please, Larry likes to do VGF as you like to listen to it. But last time he was in the studio for almost half a day again - not counting the day before he held the show. I guess it's only fair to let him get some sparetime and especially sleep, too. *he's no robot, but human after all* Anyway... Here's a small overview of the most salient timezones for you. Small World-Timetable Los Angeles (CA, USA): 7:00pm * Calgary (Canada): 8:00pm * Atlanta (GA, USA): 10:00pm * Rio de Janero (Brazil): 11:00pm Reykjavik (Iceland): 2:00am (Sunday) London (England): 3:00am (Sunday, *) Oslo (Norway): 4:00am (Sunday, *) Germany: 4:00am (Sunday, *) Paris (France): 4:00am (Sunday, *) Helsinki (Finland): 5:00am (Sunday, *) Kapstadt (South Aftrica): 4:00am (Sunday) Moscow (Russia): 6:00am (Sunday, *) Hong Kong (China): 10:00am (Sunday) Tokyo (Japan): 11:00am (Sunday) Sydney (Australia): 12:00am (Sunday, midday) * currently observing daylight saving time (DST) Wish you a nice evening.

Hey I was with him on the air 1,5 hours in the aftershow. But I guess you broke the "longest phonecall" record in a show... er... afterhow. XD EDIT: BUMPALICIOUS!

Well I said it before, Sonic had a 10th anniversary and it lasted one damn year long. Why shouldn't we do it too?

Listen to his "Broken Mirror" or "Lunar: Silver Star Story" remix. BTW: Actually Frog is kinda... "slurping". All Frog Attacks were crazy and... ew... anyway. *shudders* A knight with... "special interests", er... fetisch... uhm... *shudders again*

Why not doing it like the doom project. The server with the highest rates on the first links, the ones with the lower at the last position. And there's also still the torrent. Sephire: Rexy and I are on that problem. If we trust his VGMix account, he's a resident in the UK. Still he didn't answer our mail, nor did he answer our PMs. If someone knows ellywu in person or knows where to contact him "best", feel free to tell us And with Cox... I guess that's a useless try as we don't have other contact informations than those on OCR or VGMix.

Haha, you're so right, Roe. BTW: Your new animated sig made my day. XD *just great*

And even if we don't release at the given date, so what? Does the world end because of that? I'd prefer a full fledged and very good sounding project in the end by myself, and not a rushed job. Hell Sonic celebrated his 10th anniversary a whole year long!

You asked a question, I answered it, you still asked "why he's not ready" and I answered again what's up (also for all others who're interested). There's nothing more to discuss, no need to post any further and ask "why" "how" or "but!".

I told you I already HAVE his master files. If there's something to bitch about, then it's those who're late with their files, even though I set a very final deadline. And that's SirRus, ellywu, Unknown (though he has a hurricane comming towards his place), ZAS, mv (he has a comission going on at the moment) and Russel Cox. TEMPORAL STATUS Postproduction: 45% (+17,2% lost/unsure files) Mastering: 0% (due to the missing files to complete a CD) Design: 85% (Eon Blue) Additional stuff: 10% Status [MASTER] Files: CD01 (08/14) Track 01 - Sephire (WAV provided) Track 03 - DarkeSword (WAV provided) Track 04 - Sleepy Emp (WAV provided) Track 05 - LunarHeartHeaven (WAV provided) Track 07 - Claado Shou (WAV provided) Track 08 - Red Omen (WAV provided) Track 13 - Sephire (WAV provided) Track 14 - Blizihizake (WAV provided) CD02 (06/10) Track 17 - Claado Shou (WAV provided) Track 18 - Rellik (WAV provided) Track 19 - DarkeSword (WAV provided) Track 23 - RoeTaKa (WAV provided) Track 24 - Sleepy Emp (WAV provided) Track 25 - Reuben Kee, Pixietricks (WAVs provided - waiting for an answer to a Q though) SE Tracks (01/04) SE01 - Sleepy Emp (WAV provided) All other tracks are still in status (better, but still not "good"). Lost... (no master files available anymore due to corrupt files): Track 10 - PLBenjaminZ (Denadoro Climb) SE02 - SirRus (In Search of the Light) SE02 - PLBenjaminZ (Determined) Still not sure (to get the master files): Track 12 - mv Track 21 - Russel Cox WAS CONTACTED RECENTLY BY: SirRus (he just contacted me as I'm updating this list) mv (still has issues to rescue his files, also he has a comission going on) The ZAS (waiting on a new file, said to me via PM that he's working on it) Unknown (tries to do what he can, due to the hurricane heading his way he didn't promise anything) STILL WAITING FOR LIVESIGNS: ellywu2 (still waiting on new files, emailed him twice, PMed him at VGmix - no answer!) Russel Cox (still seems to be vanished from planet earth) Still I'm really pissed off due to the fact that there were several deadlines the mixers had to meet for WIPs, finished files, postproduction files and still they didn't do anything. I'm especially pissed off by those who have more than 1 track in the project, don't do anything and slow everything down. And then I get lame excuses in the end or wait the whole night (till 7am GMT+1, sometimes till it's midnight on the US wastcoast) and still get no response. Regarding the Deadline: Claado will have some words on that issue. Now if you'll excuse me, I try to get in touch with the remaining "missing sheeps" and go back to judging tracks.

I already have RoeTaKa's Master file. I'll give an update on the status with the other files/mixers later.

As long as there're enough seeders, bandwidth shouldn't be that big of an issue. Though there're stil those who leech from the page onl yinstead of provided torrents.

Well if I'd be picky I'd also say I didn't "make you" a torrent site but more like added your shows to my since-VGF#45-or-so-existing torrent site. Also yeah, you shuffled up the torrent counts. Shows will be released in the following batches: 10-show pack (as soon as 2x 5-show packs are full) 5-show pack (as soon as 5x seperate shows are full) 1-show pack (every new show as single seed as soon as 5 shows are ready for a 5-show pack) And that repeated of course. Maybe I'll do bigger packs like a 20-show pack or even a 50-show pack. Though we're still a bit far from that. I'll see. Just for your interest. Would be nice to "fix" that in the next show too, though it's not that important. (maybe add that you can grab VGF there too?!, heh). Torrents as usual at my torrent site: http://www.studio-compyfox.de/torrent

Well there's no significant "raising" of the status at the moment, even though the deadline is today - but Monday is not over in the USA yet. A lot of mixers still didn't read their PMs or eMails from me. Neither did they contact me what's going on. Status so far... TEMPORAL STATUS Status [MASTER]: Track 01 - Sephire (WAV provided) Track 03 - DarkeSword (WAV provided) Track 05 - LunarHeartHeaven (waiting for WAV) Track 13 - Sephire (WAV provided) Track 14 - Blizihizake (WAV provided) Track 18 - Rellik (WAV provided) Track 19 - DarkeSword (WAV provided) Track 25 - Reuben Kee, Pixietricks (WAVs provided - waiting for an answer to a Q though) All other tracks are still in status. Which is still not much! WAS CONTACTED RECENTLY BY: SirRus ( in progress, the SE track can't be rescued though) Emperor ( in progress, will get back to me this night) Claado Shou ( in progress) PLBenjaminZ (Well I contacted him, files can't be rescued unfortunately) mv (via Rexy, mv is in France due to bussiness issues, tries to get back to me in time - not guaranteed) STILL WAITING FOR LIVESIGNS: LunarHeartHeaven (Got the okay for [MASTER], didn't get an answer or a file yet) The ZAS (Still waitng on a new file) Red Omen (Still waiting on a new file, said to me it can take a while) ellywu2 (still waiting on new files, just emailed him and wait for an answer, though he answered Rexy) Russel Cox (still waiting on a new file, seems to be vanished from planet earth) Unknown (still waiting for new files, zircon and I contacted him - no response yet) RoeTaKa (still waiting for new files, contacted him via AIM and PM - no response yet) Folks, that's just dissapointing. Especially if I look at mixers who made more than one song (like 2-3) for the project, letting them catch dust then and think "the engineer will fix that". But I can't without your help. I was talking with Claado about a possible moval of the release date as he's also thinking about a "non rushed but highend" release. And the more you (the mixers) slow things down, the less time I have for proper mixing, the more rushed (and bad) sounds in the end. We're definitly not planning a delay of Chrono Symphonic, as there're interviews already in the making etc, but I guess you'll leave us no choice. That's a "last minute" thing to decide though. Sorry about that. Usually I'd get paid for that kind of job - but I said "okay I offer my skills" and I won't let you down, stay till the end. But we all have to work together. Hell I even offer my sparetime (and a lot of health) for Chrono Symphonic. Can't do everything alone, you know. I'll keep you updated.

FOLKS WHERE ARE YOUR FILES?! It's Monday 19th September, 3:49am GMT+1 here and I still miss a lot of stuff, not to mention that I don't even know if you're working on the material, got my PMs or what's up in general. I can't give you another "deadline". I have to start working!

No worry, covered that. Still have to check though - but not today and not tomorrow. Sorry.

The sooner I have the files for checking, the better. Why doesn't anybody understand that?! *grrr!* Including the project leader and the mixers... *sigh*

VG FREQUENCY Show #62 - TONIGHT, 10pm EST at least I hope so, couldn't reach Larry on the phone to confirm that As usual, here's a small overview of the most salient timezones for you. Small World-Timetable Los Angeles (CA, USA): 7:00pm * Calgary (Canada): 8:00pm * Atlanta (GA, USA): 10:00pm * Rio de Janero (Brazil): 11:00pm Reykjavik (Iceland): 2:00am (Sunday) London (England): 3:00am (Sunday, *) Oslo (Norway): 4:00am (Sunday, *) Germany: 4:00am (Sunday, *) Paris (France): 4:00am (Sunday, *) Helsinki (Finland): 5:00am (Sunday, *) Kapstadt (South Aftrica): 4:00am (Sunday) Moscow (Russia): 6:00am (Sunday, *) Hong Kong (China): 10:00am (Sunday) Tokyo (Japan): 11:00am (Sunday) Sydney (Australia): 12:00am (Sunday, midday) * currently observing daylight saving time (DST) Have fun while listening to VGF#62.

I have the MP3. If I know what hardware he used, maybe I can reproduce the sounds he had. If it's the Roland XV5050 (XV5080) or the EMU Virtuoso, then it's the Siedlaczek Orchestra. And I have that one on my disposal (also the EMU Virtuoso). If not and it's another orchestra, maybe we can still reproduce the sounds. We'll have to see. YOu got a PM btw. EDIT: TEMPORAL STATUS Status [MASTER], waiting for WAVs from the following mixers (unless otherwise mentioned): Track 01 - Sephire Track 05 - LunarHeartHeaven (very minimal changes - I trust him in this case!) Track 13 - Sephire Track 18 - Rellik (WAV already provided) Track 25 - Reuben Kee, Pixietricks (still waiting for the clean Piano track) All other tracks are still in status. Which is definately not much!

Why will you have the files? I'm the engineer, I need the files. New /[MASTER] Deadline for the mixers Monday, 19th September, 12:00pm (the night to Thuesday, GMT+1) Get the files to me! The sooner, the better. I'm not in the mood anymore writing you up and down what to change. Contact infos on Page 75. I'm also still waiting for RedOmen and SirRus! It can't be happening that Ravi can't be contacted. Now off you go, and be quick. I can't wait forever. EDIT That doesn't mean that I want the "changed " files by that date, but the [MASTER] files with the okay that I gave earlier. So pull yourself together a bit.

"I'm bringing you peace!" "BREAK HIS LEGS!!!!" *cough*
