Prolific? Like what, mixers who make a lot of songs?

Happy birthday Ashamee

Oh yeah!? Was it you who made Will send that wav? Thanks!

You guys are all literally the best. I've heard from everyone and wrangled a wav from Will.

Uhh yeah Vince needed to update the title saying we're interviewing Willrock, but he actually disappeared... so we've got Stevo Bortz until Willrock shows up, though we may just keep them both... Willrock is dead to us now.

I said I would contact Ben for Nutritious. Ben said their file is corrupt and they have to drop. I may not be staff but I don't stick my nose where it's not needed, I enjoy bugging Ben so I offered to help.

I would like to offer my death growl and screams for anyone who needs them

Like Nut said, fastest bestest arrange wins You should do the Briggs/halc source tbh. That needs covered too now. No offense intended with anything I typed on my little phone :]

You can start. Write in midi. We'll make something super sweet together Please use midi keyboard

If KingTiger is up for it that'd be fun even if it doesn't make it on the album, we could sub to OCR. Also sadly insert rupee drops :'( their file is corrupted or something.

Funny and awesome straight to the bank. I am curious to see what's on this ancient album though. I'd love to see it 'come out'

I'm not against that idea. I also want to enter the ff6 contest. Needless to say, the end of February is going to be loud in my household.

Dude, he's the guy who plays the Keytar! Dude, he's got stacks of keyboards with his sticker on them... I think I need to know more but this looks impressive. I KNEW there was something impressive there.

This is so close to done, it can be tasted. I'm working a double, and tomorrow I have to cram hard to make a DoD entry in honor of Paragon. It's a big deal. But I'm off for the rest of the month (5 days maybe?) Pianos will roll.

No. Everything was claimed when I stepped in to cover Metal Mario. Even Metal Mario was claimed, by John Revoredo, who has sadly gone somewhere... I think he's in Europe for a couple years or something. Hey KingTiger, I gotta be honest, I'm not so familiar with your work, but if you'd be up for a COLLAB on File Select, and of course if Nutritious approves, I think we should do that. I'd prefer to mix and master it though, we can toss a midi back and forth to write the arrangement. Hopefully you use a midi keyboard. But yeah, what do you think? And we'd need Nutritious's approval of course. EDIT: I'm not so familiar with your work but I vaguely remember seeing you with something awesome, or you record live drums or something like that? Let me know, that'd be awesome to use!

I couldn't agree with this more.

I could potentially do it too, if I get a spot of time after I do my last ff9 song, and enter the ff6 contest. This is not the kind of source you cut, this is a keeper.

Yeah, as someone who is on the project I can tell you I WAS upset and it didn't feel right that he would release the songs like that, without even checking with people. It's like the idea that the songs belonged to him or something... BUT I got over it. Probably a little too fast, haha. I had put my song up on youtube even. It's unlisted now though. Couldn't agree more. But I think you underestimate the amount of material for this album, which is fine because you may not have downloaded the leaked rar. It has a TON of artwork, and two very solid musical discs. I would say it is on par with any other album release. This is great news. I was heartbroken when I thought the album wouldn't be coming out, so I'm glad that you guys are taking the initiative to see it through and give it the Riesbeck's it deserves. I envision "why is this not ff6!?" butthurt.

Arek is a great guy IRL and I hold no bad feelings, I'm sure this can be settled without anything too drastic, we all love him. Dunno what was behind the decision but eh.

I will share mostly my half of the chatlog from last night: (12:27:46 AM) brandon: wut i dont want my song released like this (12:27:55 AM) brandon: i never gave permission for it to be released like this > (12:28:39 AM) brandon: well wait, did you send it for eval at ocr too? (12:28:46 AM) brandon: i am confused (12:29:00 AM) Sir_Arek: well, halc did (12:29:44 AM) brandon: intense (12:30:29 AM) brandon: this is a really disappointing way for it to end for all the peeps who worked on it but i dunno man... if it gets released on ocr someday it may still be seen/heard by people instead of lost in an obscure thread rar >:] (12:30:46 AM) brandon: makes me wonder if it's safe to put my song up on youtube now, or if i should wait for the ocr release? (12:31:19 AM) Sir_Arek: put it up dude (12:31:24 AM) Sir_Arek: go for it (12:31:27 AM) brandon: you sure? (12:31:38 AM) Sir_Arek: yessir (12:32:30 AM) brandon: well.... not what i was expecting to happen honestly (12:32:42 AM) brandon: i'm glad people will get to hear the song though, it's probably my most artistic song ever

My ps3 has backward compatibility. It plays on my old disappointment.

There is no reason this thread can't remain civil. Your comment was very disrespectful. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and contribution to this thread.

What Online MMORPG are we speaking of? It's not My Little Ponydwarf, is it? The only MMO I have right now is PlanetSide 2 and Ravaged.

And console gaming costs more than PC gaming... most people own a PC anyway, even if they're POOR.

I am sorry for being so slow with stuff. Trying to manage a crazy IRL schedule of stuff. I'm going to be getting in touch with whoever I haven't heard from, probably on the 23rd but maybe as late as the 25th... still got stuff going on plus will be at work. If anyone would like to sound off in here on their own, that would be much appreciated + preferred! As it stands we've got great progress, 3 finished WAVs and a WIP for every song. Only hold out is Willrock, who seems to have gone rogue and is planning to take his remix to The Shizz's Bionic Commando album directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I gotta be honest, I did not see that coming. (I'm kidding, I'm kidding... I totally saw that coming!) Just for fun here's some of the genre split so far: Orchestral, dubstep, djent, chiptune (hopefully a first to get posted on OCR, let's make history!), and (blanket term) electronica!
