Hey all, I was starting to do more freelance composing projects. And I was wondering if I need to to a contract or some type of agreement form that details what works being done and for what price. Is there a certain format that's best? And what needs to be included in it? Thanks, Cosmic Prism

Hey All, Hope things are going well! We have another Artist on board the Album :)! Fungist is coming on with a Dragon Ball Z Remix and an awesome demo of it too :)! Welcome Aboard! Updated the deadline to be on October 30th as well to check in on the progress everyone's making. Keep up the good work everyone!!! This would be an EPIC idea man!

Hey Everyone, thanks so much for responding to the deadline with updates. I appreciate it :). Let's continue to move this album towards the finish!

Alright all, We've reached another deadline :). I'm sending out messages to all of the artists to get a status update on the progress of the tracks. Hope all is going well everyone

Thanks DjPretzel! That's super exciting new everyone !!! Let's keep moving this album to the finish! As a reminder, the June 30th Deadline is approaching as well. Thanks for the hard work everyone! Edit: The Final WIP Date will be extended out by several months as well

ALRIGHT !! We have another finished track on the album by Malcos! Let's keep pushing for the finish and official release of this album everyone .

That was the issue, thanks :)! After setting each kontakt to A1 in each individual channel, they played he instruments I set them too. Thanks as well Timaeus! I'm just starting to mess with Kontact and Reaktor as well lol.

Glad to know I'm not hearing things xD. Thanks for letting me know it's normal !

In Kontakt Player I'm trying to set track to shakuhachi, and track 2 to an EP Piano. But when I play the midi in track 2, it plays as a Shakuhachi instead. Forgive me if this is an obvious answer, but how do I fix this so that Shakuhachi only plays in Track 1? I'm adding a screenshot of the issue as well.

Alright, front page has been updated. I've streamlined the album, and we're definitely pushing towards completion ! The next Deadline date is June 30th. For this one I'm going to keep up with artists more, because at least a WIP status will be needed to stay on the album (this includes myself : p). I'll also be asking if artists want to stay on the album as well. I will be extending the Final Deadline, but it depends on how everything turns out by the next WIP Deadline. Let's get this thing done !!! Thanks for the hard work so far as well everyone!

Cosmic Prism now xD. And I do understand the busyness part for sure, took on a full time job and am dealing with finals at the moment. So things are hectic here too. And I'm not going to drop you from the album. More likely than not, I'm going to lessen the scope of the album to 5 songs per section (minus the Yu-Gi-Oh section, which has a decent amount of people on it). That way things'll be more streamlined and manageable towards completion. I'm also going to drop myself from one song to open up availability for it. So definitely pushing for this to be complete. I'll more likely than not extend the final deadline in order to allow time for more recruitment into the album. I'll keep everyone updated and give an official update when I can in the coming week. Thanks for till staying on board the album ! These games really do have some fantastic music!!

Thanks man! I'll definitely try it! Yeah I'm trying to boost the lower range to give the kick more punch. Here's a link to the example, odd thing is, I'm not even sure if that chirp is audible after rendering it :/. Chirpy Kick Example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sgug8579s2byamr/Chirpy%20Kick%20Example.wav?dl=0 (I'm going to post a screen recording of it happening in the DAW to help).

Sounds like a cool source :). If you're up for remixing it then let me know! We still need to recruit members for this album, I'm finding that it's because a lot of the games are more obscure and haven't been played by a lot. But nonetheless it still has Amazing music :). So I definitely hope it gains more traction within the community too.

I was wondering if there's a specific way that kicks have to be EQ'ed, so you don't get that buzzing/chirping sound when you're trying to raise the low end of it for that extra oopmh.

Bumping this up to update everyone that I've made a request for this album to be an official OC Release :). Going to be checking up on artists progress as well.

This one's good, I played it on my radio show at UNLV (along with some Ocremixes ). And my friend who came on said he wouldn't have known it was vg music if I didn't say so.

Alright, thanks for the info : ) !!!

Thanks for that, I found some pretty good ones there too :)!

How does a project end up being classified as "Official"? I'm still actively recruiting for the Shonen Jump Album, and we even have a few finished songs. I've been off for a bit, but that's because of school. It's still very much alive :).

I've seen A Loooot of anime xD. These are some that could be good for that age range. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toward_the_Terra (Strongly recommend this one) The story takes place in the distant future sometime after the 31st millennium where humanity exists under the rule of the political order controlled by supercomputers known as Superior Dominance and the carefully selected humans known as the Members Elite. Centuries before the story begins, the human race came to the conclusion that war and pollution rendered life on Earth unsustainable. Using warp travel the decision was made to leave a supercomputer Artificial Intelligence and caretaker humans behind and colonize distant stars. Under the rule of Superior Dominance all humans are born in vitro and given to carefully selected parents. At the age of 14, all children are put through brainwashing where their memories are wiped by Superior Dominance and overwritten to produce functional adults. A race of advanced humans with psionic abilities called Mu (pronounced myuu, μ) has evolved, and the supercomputers that control Superior Dominance make every effort to exterminate them. Led by Soldier Blue and then Soldier Shin, the Mu make every effort to locate and rescue as many Mu children as possible before they are discovered and eliminated. The Mu have only one wish, to return to what they see as their promised land, Terra. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_Lie_in_April (Haven't seen this yet, but it's synopsis seems decent for kids that age) Piano prodigy Kousei Arima dominated the competition and has become famous among child musicians. After his mother, who was also his instructor, died, he had a mental breakdown while performing at a piano recital at the age of eleven. As a result, he is no longer able to hear the sound of his piano even though his hearing is perfectly fine. Two years later, Kousei hasn't touched the piano and views the world in monochrome, without any flair or color. He has resigned himself to living out his life with his good friends, Tsubaki and Watari, until, one day, a girl changes everything. Kaori Miyazono, a fourteen-year old audacious, free-spirited violinist whose playing style reflects her manic personality, helps Kousei return to the music world and shows that it should be free and mold breaking unlike the structured and rigid style Kousei was used to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Piece The series begins with the execution of Gol D. Roger, a man known as the King of the Pirates (海賊王 Kaizokuō?). Just before his death, Roger announces that his treasure, the One Piece (ひとつなぎの大秘宝 (ワンピース) Wan Pīsu?), will be available to anyone who finds it, beginning the Great Pirate Era (大海賊時代 Dai Kaizoku Jidai?). As a result, countless pirates set out to the Grand Line to look for the treasure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_Tail The fictional world of Earth-land (アースランド Āsu Rando?) is populated by wizards who coalesce into guilds to hone their magical abilities and apply them to paid job requests. Seventeen-year-old wizard Lucy Heartfiliaruns away from home to join Fairy Tail, a wizards' guild famous for its members' overly destructive antics. She is invited into the guild by Natsu Dragneel, a wizard with dragon-like abilities who travels the kingdom of Fiore(フィオーレ王国 Fiōre Ōkoku) in search of his missing foster father, the dragon Igneel. Lucy forms a team with Natsu and his cat-like companion Happy, later to be joined by ice wizard Gray Fullbuster and armored wizardErza Scarlet. The five embark on numerous guild missions, which include subjugating criminals, illegal dark guilds, and ancient Etherious (エーテリアス Ēteriasu) demons created by the dark wizard Zeref. Hope these suggestions help

Thanks for that : )! I've been trying to find good kick sounds that don have this weird hiss to them when you EQ them, but that's when using soundfonts Should I just go with .wav files (samples) instead for these sounds?

Alright, thanks man :)! Yeah it's something I want to figure out how to make so I can use it in some songs. Even a drop/(explosion of sound lol) like this at 00:03 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohesyd2Um20) in J-E-N-O-V-A Celestial.

I'd like to request a name change from Cosmic Sounds, to Cosmic Prism. I'll be updating my soundcloud and everything else with this name as well :). (Here's the updated soundcloud URL: https://soundcloud.com/cosmic-prism-1)

Hey All, To update everyone, I've negated the January 23rd Deadline. So the next one will be on March 23rd. Still actively recruiting for the album. We're making some progress, so let's take this thing to the finish! School's had me beyond busy, but now that I'm in the swing of things, I'll be focusing my attention back to the album more as I can :).

Hey All, I was wondering what instruments (or sounds) were used in this Synth drop at 00:08 in this song. And in other trance songs too, that's the kind of drop I'm looking to recreate. What instruments are (sounds) are generally used for this?
