@Flexstyle: Yeah, I'm the same. This one (and PR's work in general) is a HUGE crowd-pleaser for all of my non-OCR-savvy friends and Mr. Raptor has actually developed quite a cult following within my social circle, who all happens to really really like hard electronic music This is my "intro to dubsetep" track for anyone who's looking for a creative song to jump into the genre with. Never failed yet

You know, I think I've harassed Drew enough about this, so I'll just come out and say congrats I'm out of hateful things to say. Good luck you guys!

Also, given the proxmity of the remaining 8 songs to completion, I've decided to just hold off on the final preview until we've got every song in. Hopefully that'll help motivate everyone to push to completion speedily!

We're now in the single digits as far as total remaining WAVs go! OA and DragonAvenger have finally wrapped up their aptly-named "Party's Over There!" remix. Should be quite the treat, this one's got lots of live performances and some solid energy going into it. Great job you guys

And you don't afraid of my wrath cause you NOT FINNISH UR REMIXZ >_< you should afraid of that

Here's some good new! Zyko's finally finished off his two remaining tracks, putting a very solid spin on Nuts n' Bolts and Rockface Rumble. I'm particularly proud of the latter one, which ended up being a collab with Diggi Dis and Diotrans, and captures the unadulterated nostalgia of one of my favorite DKC source tunes of all time. Fantastic work man, Waleed's definitely put out something that's right on par with, if not even greater than his contributions to the last album!

Remix: http://tindeck.com/listen/xufj Source: Metal Gear Solid 1 spoilers ahead, fair warning. Here's sort of an old one, I was sitting at the piano, late at night in somewhat of a melancholy state, when I suddenly was stricken with memories of (in my opinion) one of the most heartwrenching moments in video game history - the death of Sniper Wolf at the hands of Snake, and Otakon's grief-stricken reaction immediately after as he watches the love of his life die in front of him. "I want to ask you. Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield? " This line was my inspiration for this piece. I started playing and this came out. This improv was a pretty emotional one for me, I ended up using a lot of powerful chords and ended with a more cinematic style that's pretty out of character for someone who usually performs ambient, easy-listening material. I guess I just got caught up in the moment As usual, I just recorded this in one straight take without much/any planning and with no editing afterward. Raw and dirty with performance mistakes left intact. It's not very technically proficient (I've only been playing piano for a few years) but I hope you can appreciate the performance and the significance of the inspiration nonetheless. I think I still have the project file, so if enough people think it's worth my time and can give me some specific critiques, I might be able to polish this one up. I doubt it's OCR quality but I'd love to get other opinions on if they'd like to see this kind of thing submitted. Cheers!

I guarantee that once the project is out (it should be very soon, no later than the end of 2011 at the very latest) you'll hear the songs from the artists who still haven't finished and think "Damn, that was worth the wait!" We've got some VERY good stuff that's still in the works and the project would suffer immensely if we pushed forward without those people.

This is not true, I love everyone on this project regardless of if they're finished or not

Ok, I've read things over and I've got a few words to say. As much as I may seem like a stickler over deadlines, at the end of the day it's just a project and we're all doing this for the fun of it. I really would have liked to get things done by the deadline or shortly after. It pains me too that we've had to drag things out and, trust me, I feel for all of you who have to sit on your finished tracks because others are not finished. I really wanted to avoid that lag phase and I've gone so far as to promise a release date so certain artists wouldn't have to hold onto their finished songs for months/years. Depending on the situation, those promises might have been broken on my part, and I feel terrible about that. So, before I get into anything, I'm sorry to those of you who are having to wait. However, I've always, always said that real life comes first when it comes to these projects. I know each and every one of you (even Brandon :3) are real people with jobs, lives, significant others, commitments, and any number of extenuating circumstances. I realize that you're all taking a lot of time out of your lives to do something for me, and it's really my honor to have any of you here in the first place. If any of you had to go through personal hell to finish your songs, you should have, and still can, talked to me about it. I would have been understanding and made appropriate arrangements to accommodate you. As of such, it's really on me to be understanding of the situations that you're all experiencing. I'm not a hardass for deadlines because if I was, we'd have to settle for a lot of remixes that would be rushed, uninspired, and sloppy in comparison to what the artists who've missed deadlines has in mind. Fun fact: Dave Wise didn't even make the final deadline. Should I have cut him? I don't think so. I've gotta balance promptness of project release with the fact that, if I was completely compliant with cutting people who missed deadlines, we wouldn't have such FUCKING AWESOME REMIXES like Dave's, Monobrow's, zyko's, ilp0's, Theophany's, OA's, Will's, Proto's, and so many other remixes that were finished after the deadline. Trust me, when you guys hear these remixes, I think you will agree that the extra months we spent on the project was absolutely worth it. Those remixers are one-of-a-kind and they brought something to the project that nobody else could have. As such, I'll take what I can get I want to make it clear though, me, Cody, and Flexstyle are doing absolutely EVERYTHING in our power to get things done. I've actually spent the night at his place recently so we can spend time mastering the project and making sure everything flows right. I've put in countless hours trying to track down unfinished remixers/remixes and hooking up collabs and basically doing what a director ought to. We've listened to the whole project (in its current form) dozens and dozens of times to make sure the tracklist flows as well as possible. tl;dr - we're working our asses off behind the scenes to make sure everything is as good as it can be. Ultimately, I'm taking this project VERY seriously because the last two DKC remix projects that've come before were extremely high quality and we're trying to outdo that. I understand the current frustrations and I empathize with them... the missed deadlines get me really disheartened too but at the end of the day, it's going to be worth the wait so that every artist currently on the project can finish to their own satisfaction. tl;dr I love you all and appreciate your contributions, whether you made the deadline or not. I consider all of you friends by now and I don't want any feelings to be hurt over this. I want things to be finished but I'm putting my trust in the rest of you to get things finished in a timely manner. I'll do the best I can to make this happen. Let's all get along PS I'm super medicated right now so I probably sound like a goddamn hippie lol PPS This project was started in November 2009. It's only been a year and a half since we started. And we have almost 60 finished tracks when you count in the bonus tracks with 10-15 more to go. The first two DKC3 remix projects have 57 tracks combined. Those projects took 2-3 years to complete, EACH. In a quarter of the time, we've gotten more remixes than those two projects combined and average song quality is just as high, if not better. We should all be proud of that. Some food for thought (disclaimer: I am not a math major and I cannot math very well.

What the fuck just happened in this thread? O___o

Wow, you really improved your piano sound a lot since the first time I heard this tune. It's still not perfectly realistic, but the sequencing here should be more than enough The arrangement is a little fragmented and, some might say, meandering. But I wanted to let you know I enjoyed the listen and I hope you do well with the panel when you choose to submit Hopefully those things I mentioned about the arrangement won't be a huge issue. Good luck!

Just wanted to point out that this is seriously sexy, like everything else you make This is a keeper.

Hey, this is pretty neat Lots of very cool sound design going on, though I do feel like the sound effects get a little played out by the time the song is over, unfortunately. There's a lot of good variation in the arrangement, which I like. Overall, there's a lot of cool stuff going on here, the arrangement itself kinda drags on for a bit too long but it's solid. I think this would have a pretty fair shot at the judge's panel, let's see what another workshop mod has to say about this one!

Aight, I hope I didn't come off as a pedant, I just wanted to make sure we were clear for the deadline. All's good!

I don't know why mine, Ergo's and Theophany's collab is still marked purple; unless you think it needs a major overhaul (which I won't be able to provide right now due to a faulty computer) the last thing I sent you was about 90-95% done :\ Hope there's no miscommunication, but I've taken the song about as far as I can on my own. Theophany's got the song and needs to give it a final mix, but if there needs to be drastic changes to the track itself, I'd like to hear about it Other than that, you should mark our track as green

Ok, so, some good news finally I got 2 finished (save for some little touchups) songs from ilp0 and Monobrow last night, and a very progressed wip from DJ-AKX earlier this week! They're sounding FANTASTIC. I'm also expecting finished material from a few others in the very near future, so with any luck, we might be wrapping up soon! It's gonna take effort from everyone to make it happen, bu there's really only a few problem songs to deal with once we get all the blue songs taken care of. In short... things are starting to get back on track. Let's keep it that way Oh, while I was typing up this message I got a WAV from ilp0 Quite a surprise, I was honestly not even expecting this song to get finished but the final product is pretty rockin'! Some rough-and-dirty classic rock loving for the fantastic Treetop Tumble is a bit of a liberal take but it's damn good Thanks ilp0!

Y'all don't be hating on Akuma, he's a good guy and I know he'll get things done He's gone through a lot of effort to get his mix sounding the way it is now, it's one of the most remarkably improved songs since the first WIP

This is exactly why I like it
