Just curious, where we're at with the album? Yeah, I'm eager to see this one released coz it's gonna be awesome!

Lol, for me it was the other way around! I'll go check out Gravity Beetle again

^ what Mak says!

Wow, there are actual notes in there?! I suspected you found a 12 second quote of Nicholas Cage In other news I personally feel Eino's track is progressing nicely

If you're interested in solo violin, I'd suggest to add http://embertone.com/instruments/friedlanderviolin.php to your wishlist too. Sounds great, very expressive and it's pretty flexible.

I like the idea (heh, I debuted my first OCR track in the Iwata's passing post which is kinda weird but also kinda cool) but I'm pretty sure the timeline is gonna be a problem for me. Don't count on anything, but I'm keeping an eye out on the Rollerball soundtrack and a potential remix of it. If I manage to find time it might be a nice bonus Got seriously fond memories of Rollerball, even though I played it on the MSX computer (which had no soundtrack) and not on the NES (which obviously does).

Just a pointer: keep the range of the instruments in mind I'm by no means an expert, but it seems to me that your violin is at the lowest part of the range it can play. Personally I would have either shifted the violin part up 1 octave or used a cello, but it depends on what kind of sound you're after. On a real instrument every part of the range would have a different type of sound (mellow, warm, brittle, eerie, etc), but depending on your samples that might not matter a lot. Also, when it comes to practicing, it helps to know what an instrument (and its player) can and can't do physically, and how a player would typically interact with the instrument. Stuff like breathing pauses for brass or woodwinds, when to add vibrato, ranges, etc. I'm not great at it myself and definitely need more practice and studying on instruments, their sounds and their behavior, but if you're practicing anyways it might be good to keep it in mind.

I have to agree. It's a bit quirky but it was stuck in my mind the entire evening and night

I'll do my best, at this point Eino's time signature changes are more daunting than working in Renoise again

Yay, first finished track for the album sent (Ridge Racer). Hope I can do the other one today too *edit* Turned out the Suikoden track only needed two minor tweaks and exporting, so that one is also done! Score settled, tracks delivered, Hakstock happy? At least I know I am!

I can make the deadline for both of my tracks. I'm at this point where I'm both happy with the mix and fed up with working on them, so I guess it's a matter of good timing I'll do some final critical listening tomorrow and send the wavs your way.

Sweet! I would have given Chandeliers a go (it's a cool track) but alas, time is not on my side just yet. And I bet Slimy can create something cool

I'll upload my first track tonight. Maybe I'll do it in an even more spartan way than you, just to outdeserve you Nah, I'm pretty confident about that first track not needing it @Ivan: 24bit/44.1kHz wav with 3-6db of headroom for mastering will do, rite?

Me three. Will hardly get stuff done throughout the week anyway.

Must say I really dig the trailer, great job!

I'm not a native English speaker, but ehh.... IN the funny hat? I've seem weirdly dressed-up people but never anyone dressed in a hat...

Hardly, just means that us newbies have to work a bit harder for our fun Gonna be an interesting compo for sure!

So yeah... here's a list. I am excite. Squid Adler (X5) Gravity Beetle (X3) Slash Beast (X4) Magna Centipede (X2) Spark Mandrill (X)

I'm, I might be able to look into the boss track after I've finished the 2 PSX tribute album tracks I have to mix. Should be done with those next week. No promises though, but if someone wants to collab things up that might speed things up.

Count on it, I already have some ideas

^ Basically what he said without even one minute of play time;)

Whohoo, happy BD! My time didn't really allow for participation lately, but I did keep an eye on each round in the compo. Will probably have some time in a few weeks to give a shot at participating once or twice again. Just pick a track that's so inspiring that I can't refuse

Okay, if you insist... ... yup, just sent in my second finished track I'm glad that my work for the album is done and I'm also pretty happy with these tracks. Now the long wait till the album release starts

Yay! This saves me from having to finish 3 tracks in the next 6 days

One track sent, one left to mix, yay!
