  1. Rozovian,

    So I'm perhaps 2/3 of the way finished transcribing the notes for "Return to Forever" and wondering; are you aiming for a particular length with these tracks? I ask because the original piece is 8:36 and the last 4 minutes are quite repetitive (not sure if that's the credits or epilogue or what).

    Normally, when I remix game music I remove a lot of the repetition to keep things interesting. I'm guessing in this case I'd cut at least two minutes off the end.

  2. Okay, something more project related... Rainwound just joined. Who is Rainwound? :D

    Also, changed the list of available tracks a bit. Still accepting remixes, still hoping everybody will finish their tracks, still recruiting... Still saying the progress is slow, but that's not really true anymore. Not the past two weeks.

    Now, where's everybody else?

    Oh man! More available! I wanna grab more but I need to finish "Return to Forever" first. I didn't realize it's a six minute track. That's okay. It's a good one. It's just gonna take a healthy few weeks to do justice.

    It will be epic. Oh yes.

  3. lol =) you're ON!

    if you want better samples for orchestral stuff, someone just picked up vsl...and it's out of control.

    i can't wait for a wip! the track's technically not yours until you do one, but it's not like i'm going to let some nobody take your place.

    VSL is on my wish list. A damn expensive wish list at that. lol I'll have to get an extra HDD for it too.

    No matter how hard I try I can't get my strings to sound "good enough". I know VSL happens to be the best so I'll just have to get it and be satisfied.

  4. Okay! I've found a complete .mp3 posting of the all in game music here:

    http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/link-s-awakening-dx

    However there are 79 tracks! I managed to find matches for the following:

    tail cave

    catfishes maw

    wind fishes egg

    But I'm not sure which track matches the "ballad/ending theme" you have listed. Can someone help me out? I'm pretty sure that's the one I want to remix. As I recall, it's the main theme to the game. I listened to track 75 on the list but it's only 1:11 which does not match the 3:09 listed in the .m3u file.

  5. winamp is free, you know, right?

    can't you just load the gbs tracks into a gba emulator to listen to them?

    I am searching high and low and not finding the track files online. Perhaps I just don't know where to look? I found many sites with music from the game but all were either incomplete or using different track titles. Is it so terribly difficult to make an .mp3 version of the original soundtrack that we can all listen to without having to install two programs we'll never use for anything else?

    Sorry. I just work up.

  6. Either I fail update, or I'm confusing it with Innocent Water. In any case, if I said it's yours, it's yours. :D

    Pads are fine. We seem to be on the same page about the sound. That's good. :D Looking forward to hearing them.

    Everybody else, gimme wip, gimme wav, gimme poor excuses... Last week was awesome. Let's top it. :D

    Thanks mate!

    I just finished listening to the FF4 remix collection. I must say I wish it had been organized better. I think the majority of casual fans may find it a rather tedious listen. Not due to it's length, but rather to it's chaotic blend of styles. I found myself skipping every track that included electric guitars (I simply cannot stand them in instrumental music) and a few other tracks as well. In effect, the mood was constantly being disrupted and reminding me I was listening to a jumble of music instead of a beautiful RPG score. And I have to add that "Evoking the Dawn" (3-07) was easily the best piece on the collection.

    If this project can flow in a more natural manner it will certainly be to everyone's benefit. I understand that is difficult to pull off given the number of artists involved. But surely we can do a better job than others have done. As there seems to be no shortage of artists, perhaps you can afford to be a bit picky ;)

  7. Everybody's doing Innocent Sea. :P All right, they're yours. Focus on Return to Forever, tho. ;)

    We're going for a kind'a non-electronic overall sound, so if you were planning on something unts unts beep beep, show me an early version and I'll let you know before you've gotten to far whether it'll work on the project. We do make occasional exceptions when we think the track will work with the others.

    FF4 had everything and the kitchen synth, we've got a more narrow focus. Drop me an early version by email or PM or something so I know what you're going for and I'll let you know how it'll work on the project.

    Well I just saw the list of what wasn't taken and listened to them all :) I will do as you suggest and focus on Return to Forever first.

    No worries on the sound. My intent was to keep them clean and as natural sounding as possible. I do usually have a pad or synth in there somewhere though (if I feel it improves the overall composition). Definitely no "untz untz". I try and stay close to the original mood with my remixes.

    I'll work up basic versions of both perhaps They seem much less complex musically than the original Secret of Mana pieces I worked with on my Mana EP. I'll PM something in a few days.

  8. The SPC-format soundtrack is here. Get chipamp or (if you're on mac) Audio Overload to listen.

    These tracks are, if my notes are correct, free:

    116 Oh I'm a Flamelet

    301 Can You Fly Sister?

    307 Black Soup

    314 The Sacrifice pt II

    319 Return to Forever

    These are covered in multitrack remixes, old remixes, or they're tracks we're not sure the remixer is still working on. Also free to take:

    113 Damn Damn Drum

    205 Female Turbulence

    219 Obsession

    305 Weird Counterpoint

    311 Religion Thunder

    317 Farewell Song

    You're impurfekt from the seikens board, right? Did I invite you to the project? I know I was gonna. If not I must have forgotten. Yeah, you're welcome to join.

    (updated tracklist is on the first post, not gonna update the one in this post)

    Today was a good week... I mean, I got a bunch of wips in, some of which are really close to finished. And here we have another contributor. :D

    And for some reason I keep saying the project is moving along _slowly_. :D

    Excellent. Now I can have a listen. Yes, I'm on the Seiken forum too. My Mana EP is coming along. My wait now is from the other two artists. One is nearly done, the other I have not heard from. Seems everyone is having a very busy summer!

    I will listen to the available tracks and stake my claim if I am inspired!
