  1. Okay! So, with the help of KyleJCrB we now have our own forum over at his site, where we can discuss the project more openly, and also post WIPs without the general public being able to listen in. This way, we can all help eachother out with tips, ideas and support.

    blackguitar and Lashmush were already members on the forum so you guys already have access to the private forums, but the rest of you need to register there, and then PM me about it so that I can add you to the usergroup required for access.

    Go register now!

  2. Please make sure you're sticking to this and not asking for WIPs or setting deadlines.

    Yes, all I'm asking for is a sample so that they can be accepted into the project. I do this mostly by PM, and it's got to do with the recruitment.

    I suggest you do what Hylian Lemon did with EoL and have the project thread in the remixes board. That could also get you some attention from ppl who don't frequent the recruit/collab forum. Either that or get a forum somewhere (or do both like HL did). KNGI is a good place as there are remixers there already, being or having been on other projects. Talk to Kyle about it. Then there's ThaSauce, has a forum, has remixers, and they've hosted project forums before, like sd3 back in the day.

    Yeah, I've been thinking about that, but I haven't known what forums I could use. Thanks! Could you link to those sites? :)

  3. Yes, this is to everyone interested in the project really (and I'll put it in the main post), for your participation to be accepted I either need to hear something you've done in the past (both WIPs and completed tracks are fine), and I'd like to hear your ideas on what you want to do with the source material. A short wip of the song for this project i also good, as that covers both those things. If there is enough potential, I'll sign you up.

    I don't like saying no to people, but the project needs to hold a certain degree of quality, so that we can become an official album on OCR. But if you're new to the scene, don't fret, I don't need to hear anything amazing at first, just something with good potential. A good idea can take you far!

    EDIT: I will sign you up primarily for a track, and you can be there for a maximum of two weeks, and in this time I need to hear something of your so that you can secure the place. Otherwise it will be up for grabs again.

  4. Hey, this is great. Wonderful chillout, and it's for Majora's Mask! That game sure needs more love on OCR. Great job on this song. :) Can't hear anything wrong with it, other than maybe that it is pretty much the same thing throughout the whole song, which might seem repetative to the judges panel, but I think that's alright when it's a chillout song. I know I'll be listening to it at least. :)

  5. Hmm...I would love to be a part of this. I just need to figure out what to mix with what, lol. I know i wanna use the cave/battle theme from Zelda 2 NES, but i'm not sure what i could mix that with that would sound good. :D

    I will be updating the main post, with links to all the different ocarina songs, so that you can listen to them and then maybe have an easier time to decide. :) The cave/battle theme is a great track, and there just has to be a fitting ocarina song for it.

    Hey there, this sounds like an interesting concept for a remix project. As a fan of Zelda music, I wouldn't mind joining in.

    Great! Send me a PM if you want to claim a track. :)

  6. You have some speed issues here, it's very uneven. Some parts are much slower than they should be, while a few notes here and there are sped up, and it just makes it feel out of sync. This could be a great mellow track, but you need to decide on a speed for it. :) Have the background instruments slow and ambient, as you do now, but the foreground instruments like the violin and piano, should maybe be sped up a bit, but just a little bit, so that it all syncs.

    Sorry I can't give you any timestamps, the player on the site you linked to didn't want to show me the time index of the song properly (could be my browser). :)

  7. Hello everyone!

    Hylian Melodies is a ReMix project aimed not at a single game in the series, but at the entire franchise. It does have a basis though, and that is in the different ocarina songs from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

    The idea is that when a remixer has chosen a song they wish to use, they also have to pick a second or more songs (there is no limit, as long as you make the ocarina song apparent) of their own choosing, from the entire franchise, and then mix these together. They can use as much or as little of either the ocarina-song or the second song as they wish, as long as you can identify the ocarina-song in the track somehow. They can of course use more than one song to mix with the ocarina song. Also, if they can direct the mood of the song towards how the ocarina-song is, that would be great, but it's not a requirement.

    Rules:

    * If you want to sign up, then either write in this thread, or (preferably) send me a PM, with your idea

    * Choose carefully when you choose your source material. You can only pick ONE Ocarina song, but as many other Zelda songs as you want, with a few exceptions of overly remixed tracks (such as Gerudo valley for example).

    * In order to qualify for the project, there are some rules to the arrangement itself: When arranging them, it must be a proper arrangement. Placing the source materials next to each other in a medley with different instruments does NOT qualify as an arrangement.

    * Your chosen tracks need to be apparent in the final product. The Ocarina song always needs to be recognizable, but it does not have to take the lead in the entire song if you don't want it to. The other tracks can be as much up front or in the background as you want.

    * In order for me to know that you can stick to the rules, I need to hear something of your previous work. If possible, if you have anything where two or more tracks are being mixed together, I'd like to hear it. If you have been posted on OCReMix then I see that as a sign of quality, but I still need to hear your ideas for this project.

    Here is the track list:

    Zelda's Lullaby

    Song of Storms + Title screen (OoT) (Tuberz McGee)

    +
    (Andy_Frank)

    +
    (Theophany)

    + Sanctuary (LttP) (Aaron Marshall)

    +
    (Cerrax)

    +
    + Ice Cavern (OoT) (Phonetic Hero)

    Goron's Lullaby

    New Wave Bossa Nova

    + No song selected yet (wildfire)

    +
    +
    (Chernabogue)

    We could also have the ocarina/flute songs from A Link to the Past and even the first Zelda game, as bonus tracks for the album, if there is enough interest.

    Let me know what you think, and if you'd like to sign up or help out in any other way. :)

  8. i know a guy who did that with tomb raider, he didn't turn off is PSX for month.

    I actually did the same, when I first had a playstation but no memory card, but I did it with a rented Final Fantasy VII. I died on some boss though, on disc 2. :( After that, I didn't rent any more games until I had a memory card.

  9. I think even save points are for suckers. I demand that games go back to having no progress-saving method whatsoever but for passwords. The use of passwords is the mark of a REAL gamer. If it takes utterly random 30-character alphanumeric strings to pull it off, then so be it.

    Otherwise it's not hardcore enough.

    I say let's take it one step further back, and just have it so that if you turn off the power or reset the game, you have to start from the beginning of the game again. No passwords, no save files, nothing. Just beat it all in one sitting.

  10. I must say I like the trailer for the new game. And about having Daniel Licht as the music director, I can't help but being downright excited about it. He made the great, and eerie, music for Dexter and I'm guessing he did the music in the trailer as well, so that just makes me even more excited.

    I thought Homecoming was okay, but I hope this one improves upon the most lacking detail in Homecoming: the locations. They were mostly repetative and boring, no real soul to them. Not like the Prison in SH2, or the asylum in SH: Origins.

    Also, isn't it yet another new company developing this game? Or is it the same team as in Homecoming?
