Oh no, all those bad news at once (including OCR forums not working for the past hours). OK, I hope the best for Sixto, what happened to him sounds really really bad I would take his current WIP on "Obsession" as it is, with a bit of additional mastering, that is. I hope we can communicate in one way or another. And Azar, you are sure you want to drop Raven? Shall I remove your name from it?

+++ NEWS +++ Welcome aboard, Wiesty and madpawn! You two make it only three songs left! Oh, and btw. today is the day of my return to Switzerland. I have a long exhausting train ride with my keyboard and a lot of stuff ahead of me, but will be back home this evening.

We won't... in case no one takes them I will do every single one of them, one after another, unless someone else from the project wants one or more of them

Added the forum URL to the first post of this thread; will comment on the WIPs after I am back in Switzerland. Going to sleep now *ultra-tired and a bit sore throat* Oh, and Zak, didn't you want to copy the old WIP threads from the old forum? Some people wrote a lot of feedback and they surely don't want to write all that again

Well, I planned to be online yesterday evening but I had something important to do (swap hard drives from my two notebooks and add a new one to the new one). Because I needed to format and transfer the whole system from my old one, it needed more time than I thought and at the time when it was evening I wasn't ready to use ICQ. Sorry for that. Let's hope the forum will work on its own now

Azar: He said "if anyone's interested" - this sounds to me like he is gonna hook you up with it - if you want to - and saying you can't buy it anymore makes that process completely legal, as it's officially abandonware in that case Zak: Good God! You made it! *hops around in circles* YAY! :D Now this is a cool thing! Glad to have you back after that long time! I will contact you ASAP - Haven't been around here for today, so I will try today (Thursday) evening. OK? OK!

Why does it suck? I mean, at least a piece of MIDI software you can use. And if everything else fails I am willing to record it with my instruments.

Mastering? Hah... we have SOC on the project, who needs mastering? Send all your WAVs to him and he plays them through his music app making them LOUD. Who needs mastering software/hardware/studios?

Sorry, but this is impossible due to the reasons you know already

Huh? What?!? I addressed all the art staff and you got in there with the Cavios cover. =P That's the part I already understoood, but the "..." didn't make any sense to me Will do, let's hope you are online...

Huh? What?!?

Nope, it isn't - but at the moment, Zak seems to have no time for the forums, he was occupied for the last weeks, and I haven't seen him for a while now. Let's hope this will change soon. It seemed a bit like I am the main coordinator because I did a lot of coordination for the past months. And, let's hope he doesn't back off...meaning I am alone on this one... For my part, I have SERIOUS hard drive problems with more than one drive which I am trying to fix right now. It's like a giant, mind-boggling puzzle. You have to think of each step carefully. In addition, I got a final test tomorrow, plus my vacations which I will spend in Germany will start soon, meaning I won't be here as much as I used to. Don't let that disturb you, because I will be back and the project will get done next year. Too much awesomness already in there! Keep up the great work!

Hmmm.... is the "Dwelling of duels" originally written parallel to the bottom of the page? If so, your template needs some additional tweaking. It looks like it's going up a bit... My suggestion is to use a page with a grid, so you can see if everything is parallel and in the right place. It looks a bit strange to me. Guess, shear is the better way after all

Isn't it looking hand-drawn? I mean, you can also draw shapes like that by hand, and in fact, I wanted them to be this way - after all, it's Kirby, and the backgrounds in Kirby aren't natural at all. Plus the rainbow is pretty kirby-esque IMO It's just up to Hemo now and if he wants to top it like he did with my Floria cover

C-C-C-Cavios cover FTW

Oh ¥eah.... I thought that I would be able to finish at least the Iselia mix before christmas, but I lost a staggering 250 GB of data - including all my samples - including the strings I wanted to use for that mix - because of a hard drive problem. Not a real problem because I still have the installers on DVDs, but I don't have any space to install them on right now. It's bugging me a bit, but I have to wait now. Yeah, I guess I have to get a new hard drive for christmas now

Whoa, THREE Floria covers now? Wow! OK, from what I've heard Hemo's will be taken into the finished project (despite what Arek said earlier, but at that time Hemo was not on the project anyway) Awwwww, and it took me whole 2 minutes to do mine! T_T But, just for you, I will post it here for your enjoyment: joah...

I just listened to it on my Yamaha PSR-3000 keyboard. Wow! Very beautiful! I absolutely love what you did with the strings in the intro. The part after that reminded me a bit of "The Dragon Boy" from the Sen to Chihiro no kamikakuchi soundtrack. Really nice I also love the fact that you used a lot of different musical styles in this one. Keep up the good work! Edit: 4 SONGS LEFT!

Not exactly complaining, more mock-up for the project coordinators being not there for such a long period of time (Think: ReplacementXY, Cyan knows what I am talking about )

Hehe, you seem to REALLY want this track. So, no problem with signing you up for it, just don't worry too much Edit: I listened to your track and it's already pretty nice, nothing to complain about, with one exception: The piano sounds too synthy. But I can help you with that I've already done quite a few collabs, so we should keep in contact about that one. Are you up to it? Edit again: ONLY 5 SONGS LEFT! THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!

Actually, I already managed to talk to him about this issue a few days ago, and he said he is still undecided it he really wants to do the song, mainly because someone else does it on DoD's mana month. That's why I haven't removed him from that list on page 9 yet. It's more like a "talked to and cleared things with that person". So let's hope he won't quit on us

Just wanted to check in and tell you that the progress of my Iselia mix is going along nicely and there is only the end part which needs work. I fixed all of the "holes" and strange key changes already Geez, only two weeks left until I depart for Germany...two weeks in which I have a Logic test, a Pro Tools test and an overall Audio Engineering theoretical test. it's almost 100% sure I cannot finish my songs in time...

Hey! Cool thing you want to join! I'll sign you up in a breeze! Only 9 songs left for now. Let's hope this will get filled out, because it really is a massive project then We already have a lot of great substance. If you need any help, just talk to me, OK? OK! ^-^

Yeah, I will keep you all informed about that. The main problem here was that Zak himself was unable to set up a forum for some reasons, so he must rely on someone to set a forum up. He managed to get a part-forum at a big site he is involved with, but that forum is closed due to maintenance for now. At the very moment this changes and the forum will be available to the public, we will inform you. Just relax for now

Oh, phew! I was afraid you were gunna shoot for the end of december or something. This is great. I should have plenty of time to get my equiptment working again. Thanks. Hahaha, no...in fact, I am on vacation in Germany until january, so I wanted to set a date at which I have all my equipment back together. Oh, and I want to publicly announce that "Delicate Affection" is really coming out nicely, thanks to TheDeath! Great job, man!
