    Wintry Album?

    in Recruit & Collaborate!

    Posted

    Well first off Baha, I did not know you offered assistance for struggling projects, so my apologies on that end. I also agree wholeheartedly about poorly run projects; that's truly the core of my distaste for project hate in the first place.

    However, the problem that gets me the most is everyone's intent on making a project an OCR official project. I wouldn't mind having new music every day; heck, it seems like I'm trying to find it myself. But once the "official" aspect enters, it seems as if many directors don't really understand all of the different elements that this encompasses, and it gets ugly when there is already a backlog of projects that have been patiently waiting for their turn in the spotlight, especially when it comes to having release dates that correspond with certain events with the game.

    Now, in terms of how the projects have been divided lately (1 disc and 2-4 disc albums), I think this works and should be the format for a while, until the eventual overall that will happen due to the growth of the community. But in terms of quick turnaround, I don't think OCR should be involved, sans for a posted mix and a "Hey, check this album out!" kind of deal a la Essence of Lime and ilp0's Mega Man album. I mean, look at the project queue as it is now. Teen Agent just got released, so who knows how much longer before either Link's Awakening and Pokémon will come out, and then once one of those do, the other will be next. Meanwhile, halc's got to wait all of that time with a finished project because everyone deserves their time, despite that he finished The Sound of Speed waaaay faster than either of the other two.

    I singled you out because at the time you started the Lufia project, you hadn't finished DKC2, had just started MMX a month or so prior and to be honest, looked like you were just creating projects for the sake of creating projects. This was a bias from me, and I apologize for doing so on this album as well, especially since you were just proposing the idea. But even then, since you've said I'm not the only one who has shown disdain, perhaps some people are just getting burned out from the fact that all these projects just keep piling up on one another like there's no light at the end of the tunnel.

    maybe if he mean's make a quick good songs then pakage it fast :o

    I don't care if he already has all of the remixers lined up with all of the mixes finished. I'm tired of the current trend of projects out the ass. We already have too many fucking projects, and yet another one with 'quick turnaround' means what, all of the other ones get pushed back even further? I know some projects try to line up and be released on a day that commemorates the original game, but trying to get everyone's plans to line up is bad enough, especially when we need breather room from each album so each can have their time in the limelight, not release one project one day and then have another release the next day.

    I mean, it should be evident that we need to back off on these projects when we have several trying to get off the ground in the Recruit forum by people who aren't even known in the community, let alone be able to keep the project afloat by themselves (ie. aren't remixers). Not that it's a problem for some people (see Jade and Wild Arms), but I'm also a bit tired of people starting over nine thousand projects for the sake of doing projects, and I am looking SQUARELY (not rectangularly, or triangularly) at you, Baha. You've got Mega Man X, Lufia 2, and your concept RPG project. Is that really not enough?

    Now that that's over, I agree that it's a cool idea (I planned on doing a holiday album myself with at least three of the sources mentioned), but if you're gonna start it now for a December 2011 release, that's fine, as long as no one else has already vied for a release then. Or you could always make it non-OCR but still have an OCR quality standard, but I assume if it's going to be through OCR, you want the publicity as well.

    my 10¢

    Sonic the Hedgehog: The Sound of Speed - History

    in Projects

    I haven't heard anything but the previews, but this is probs how it'll be:

    Hedgehog Heaven < Project Chaos < The Sound of Speed < Gecko's album of 'Proper Sonic 4' i can dream, can't I?

    then we just get to wait to see when/who will do the next Sonic 2 project because that will eventually happen

    also I just noticed that it's pretty much in release order; does that mean we're just getting more awesome all the time?

    a good idea would be to do one track as a test. if it works - without a shit-ton of issues - then we can keep going.

    i'd be happy to coordinate if need be. i'm not aware of an OCR project based on song style rather than soundtrack or something.

    In terms of a song, I have the

    parts, plus it's not too difficult in terms of performance. I think that'd be easiest since it's already all there.

    I've had the project idea for a while, but I would only want to start it if we can achieve a good quality with the turn-out of this whole thang. Otherwise, back to the back-burner as it's sat for the past two years.

    I completely understand about the sax thing; I would actually perfer not to play, but I was saying that if it would be helpful or something, I can offer my talents.

    If this ever gets off the cutting board, I have at least seven or so songs I want to arrange on this list I keep, plus a certain soundtrack...just putting it out there.

    You know, I've also had an idea for something like this, but I tried to avoid the whole recording problem by making sure everyone would live close by one another so they could rehearse together, rather than just recording themselves along with a track.

    That being said, as if my bonus track on SMB wasn't proof enough, I would definitely be interested in arranging VGM, along with any original pieces I manage to come up with.

    Oh yeah, and my tenor sax, too. If y'all want that as well.
