Chav, that's just the thing - slides affect all note properties, not just pitch - they affect pan, velocity filter cut, and so on.
I'll have another go at explaining. lets say you have a note, C, which you want to go from velocity 30 to velocity 80. All you do is:
1) set the notes velocity to 30,
2) drop a slide ALSO ON C SO THERE IS NO PITCH DIFFERENCE <---IMPORTANT
3) Set the slide's velocity to 80.
DONE. You now have a C note that will increase in volume from whatever the volume is at velocity 30 to whatever the volume is at 80. Easy. Much easier than mucking about with events.
or, you could just automate the volume. that'd be the easiest way, IMO. or, you could just fool with the attack settings, too.
also, quinch, we can see who you are by your username. don't sign your posts - it gets annoying after a while.

bump. i haven't seen many WIPs yet - get to work!
mine should be up by today or tomorrow. i just recorded all ten saxophone parts (bwahaha) and i'll be attempting to mash it together into something recognizable tonight.
-
i'm working on tensai's track right now. it actually sounds pretty cool - he's got a good feel.
the only problem is that, while it's rock, its quite upbeat. the chord progression is melancholy enough to make it fit, i think, though.
-
I've sent the WIP I thought was best to Prophet for the production, and IMO it now definitely has some potential, especially with the live saxophone and guitar that will be added
its pretty good, IMO. i'll start work on it as soon as i'm somewhat far aong in a collaborative effort that i'm doing with DragonAvenger.

for the games i've played, i have to give it to Target Earth/Assault Suits Leynos for sega genesis. That game was ridiculously hard even without the bosses, but you have to fight them as youre beign attacked fom all sides by multiple enemies. i still cant get past the 4th level and ive been playing it for about 12 years...
that's because you suck, not because the game is difficult.
-
bump. haven't heard from tensai yet.
-
i was just saying that to taucer.
get back to work! and post on the forums!
-
ocr's hosting is bad.
looking forward to the threeway collab that's become a reality.
post on the forums! if you haven't found it, pm me and i'll give you the link.
-
oa's got the forums up. i'm editing them now and i'll have something for you all some time friday, i believe. probably closer to nighttime (EST, that is).
dhsu, are you still doing 'portal to open grounds'?
and what's happening with drumultima's track? are you going to do some megacollab, or are you going to work with taucer, or what? just so i can update everything to reflect that.
-
that was a long post, before.
antisheep has taken epilogue, and is looking for a vet to help him. think latin feel.
V gave up his claim on Days of Summer, so now we're down to three or four people who want that (drumultima, blizihizake, dhsu and laos, and maybe ellywu2)
OA's site is www.oceansend.com. there's some really nice artwork there. check it out.
EazyP is looking at Epilogue - Dream Shore (3), so that'd be the second remix of the song. looking forward to a track of that.
OA is currently setting up a forum to work off of. i'll be pm-ing the address to everyone, as i don't want passersby getting in. it'll also be password protected completely, and hopefully will include an attachment feature to posts to help with uploading WIPs and stuff. i'll update you when i have more information.
that seems to be the most of the updates as of late.
now, with all of that said, i'd like to point out something. we've still got a few songs that are unclaimed, and i don't know why. Gale (2/17) is really a fantastic battle theme that'd benefit from a great guitar mixer (fishy or sixto?) or a great electronica mixer (read: TRANCE). also, Frozen Flame (10/17) which Rexy was looking at, is still open. That's another great track that'd benefit from any attention. i wouldn't mind the sephfire/sirrus combo doing one of those two - preferably Frozen Flame.
-
alright. it took me way too long to get caught up on all this crap.
first off, i've got no problem with RK and Taucer working on GWSTS. i've got a lot of faith in both mixers to make something awesome (as usual). don't forget that darangen/rexy (go for it, you two!) are also doing that theme. you're going to have to make sure your arrangement is sufficiently different from theirs to make it fit into the project...but you will, i'm sure. whistle power, activate.
fishy's in for guitar, dragonavenger's in for vocals (you're a girl, right?), and drumultimaaaaaaa is in for drums (however, he doesn't play tablas. what use is he?)
prometheus has asked to do snakebone manor with me, and i'm inclined to accept. however, i don't want to take tracks from others, so as of right now that's all i'll do is the two tracks i'm in right now.
sixto's in. werd. he's a shredder who solos exceptionally well on electric guitar. and gets run over by forklifts. somehow. he also owes us over at LAProject a track =)
ellywu2 wants either Days of Summer or Strange Presentiment. i say he can pick either - i love his music. i'd prefer he picks strange presentiment, however - its a minimal amount of sourcetune, and i would trust his arrangement abilities over that of someone with less proven (20 or so mixes on vgmix) talent. i feel it'd sound good with bigbeat stuff too, which is what i love the most about ellywu2's music.
OA has offered to do art eventually (samples, please!) and host a site, and Bongo Bill will mirror eventually. There's some kid who's decent from deviantart, too - i liked his stuff too. i guess we've got a bit of a competition for artwork, too!
chavous is looking at 'facing'. any progress on that? should i sign you up for it?
drumultima wants to do an acoustic version of Days of Summer with someone. any takers? maybe blizihizake, who's looking at it too, would help you out.
V wants to do Days of Summer as well. i use reason - pm me if you've got a question, man. assuming you're using reason 2.5, i can do your production/drums through rewire in fl6. since fl6 is so much better at production than reason 2.5.
dhsu and LAOS are also looking at Days of Summer. that's four people looking at it. anyone want to look elsewhere for ideas? the second half of the soundtrack still needs help. Maybe, you two, you could look at Epilogue as well - there's a lot of creativity that could happen on that track.
i'll say this flat out - i don't want four mixes of the same track. that's too repetitive, and it'll end up being too much. if i had my way, i'd give it to drumultima (loved his wip) and blizihizake (if they work together, that'd be even better). v, i'd rather you looked at other songs - how about 2/17? i'm not telling you to kill your wip, though - i just don't want a ton of mixes of DOS. i'd like to make it only two mixes of this particular tune, if possible. it depends on who works with who, of course.
as for the final song, i was thinking about working with me (sax, vocals), taucer (whistle, acoustic), drumultima (duh), dhsu (keys), darangen or sixto (electric), and possibly somebody for bass. else i'll record it. what do you think? once i have feedback, i'll start working on the arrangement.
something i was thinking about is a dual cd release - but, have it be that each cd has the complete tracklisting of the original soundtrack - meaning, two sets of the entire soundtrack, remixed. that's a possible way of handling popular themes. that'd only really give us 3-4 remixes of the distant promise track, and two of the days of summer track. what do you say? it'd give dhsu and LAOS another possible candidate for their duet (namely, ending).
ktriton wants arrangement ideas sometime soon for 'Final Confrontation'.
still need updates from ubernym, antisheep, sirrus/sephfire, antipode, and that's about it. everyone who's said they want to work on a track, give me a definate, whether via email or pm, as to what you're working on and we'll go from there. i don't want tracks going uncovered because there's ten remixes of two songs, though - if something's open, please look at that before you sign up for the ninth remix of 'distant shore'. please. i don't want to release this with good tracks from the soundtrack untouched. you also aren't officially part of the project until you've responded with a song to be signed up on. i will say that i'd love to hear what antisheep is able to do with 'epilogue', if Dhsu and LAOS don't want it.
i'll update the original post as soon as this goes through.

Please, I've already PMed Aetherius, but I just wanted to inform everyone about it. TAL TAL MOUNTAIN RANGE IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF. I got not one, but 2 WIPs in progress (still have to decide which one to use), and my inactivity last week was because of a trip to Finland, so I apologize for my sudden absence.
if you still want production help (like i emailed and pm'd you about) then please contact me.
-
As I have (I think) mentioned to some of you already, I think we may end up having to allow multiple arrangements of some songs, since it's such a short soundtrack.
EDIT: also, I'm still not entirely sure I want to redo Canvas; It's a really great source, and I think a lot could be done with it that we didn't do in Canvas due to blending it with Relm's theme.
i wasn't planning on remixing 'canvas' as just using the style/vibe and doing the last track on the album.

RADICAL DREAMERS PROJECT
speaking of tracks -
TRACKLIST
See first post.
as you can see, the rexy/dar collab, sirrus/sephfire, sleepy emp, and ellywu2 are not on the project officially because they never updated. if they want to, they can get back in - till then, we're not listing them.
we're moving along well! we're ALMOST DONE!
We're planning on a release at magfest, barring anything unforseen. we'll open and post the website after the 'concert' release party thing.
OA has offered to host, do the website, and has done a bunch of songs too =) He's already set up a forum off of his site (get the link from me, project mixers) and so we're using that for posting WIPs and the link. Bongo Bill offered to mirror for us.
We've got a forum where we're posting the WIPs and all that - if you've got a WIP and need to post it, pm a project member. They'll hook you up.
That all said, thank you for being interested/participating, and this has really turned out to be a fantastic project with some incredible mixes on it. props to all the mixers on this project that have done such great work.
see you all in january!
-
as of right now, what songs are not covered? like, which songs that we wanted to do are not finished as of this time. i'm seriously considering just doing the rest myself to get this project finished.I say that 13 songs isn't enough to cover the full range of the project.I also say that Shinnymetal's mix isn't so bad, apart from being 3 minutes too long, having one extremely low point, and being too repetitive.
I say spc1sts mix is alright, but as I say, it's not the song I asked him to do. He appears to have remixed a sound effect, which precedes the actual song, and then ignored the song.
That said, I will not include them 'Just because' if they aren't satisfactory. In their present states, they are not satisfactory.
I say, we do another canvas of the populace. If you know somebody who's bored, and doesn't suck, direct them to the first post of this thread.

While I love the Xenogears soundtrack, I really do not think you should not be the one to start it at this point. I don't mean to insult you or anything, but the better-known you are, the more star power you're going to get on this project. I'm sorry to say it, but you don't have the noteriety required to start a Xenogears project which would come anywhere close to doing the OST justice.
I really don't mean to insult you; I don't mean to suggest it's your fault that big-name remixers aren't going to rush to join this project, it's just a simple fact about the way projects generally work; if you aren't well-known, you won't get well-known mixers on your project. And Xenogears has a soundtrack which fully deserves to have top-calibur mixers if there is to be a project.
look at the ff7 project for more examples of this.
that said, i'll record sax for someone if they need it. i will NOT do a remix, though. i won't have time. best of luck, though.
-
I dunno about the collab concept...due to the way I record my piano MIDIs, it might be difficult to work with someone else, unless they also play a live instrument (such as my collab with Anthony Lofton for the upcoming Tales project). The other ideal scenario is if somebody is good at piano arrangements but unsatisfied with their performance skills, in which case I'll perform their work (e.g. Blak_Omen's "Waltz of Pain").
this is the idea, dhsu. there are a significant amount of good performance and arrangement talent that we've invited, so hopefully you can find a person to work with. if you can't, that's fine - more meat for me =)
i'll post more about the details of the project later today - it's 4am, and i just started my work shift (unfortunately). i'll be back in ten hours or so.

lemon, shut up.
this is going down the tubes for one solid reason. when the project started, we didn't attract solid, dependable remixers who finish projects, normally. we attracted n00bs. Haydn, Shinnymetal, spc1st, etc.
that said, we still do have progress. 8 songs is good - we need another 4-6 for a decent project. prizm is remastering our track, it's basically done. we need the commitment to get five more songs done, and we're set. shinnymetal's track, while being quite odd, isn't really all that bad, and neither is spc1st's (i kinda like his.) that leaves three songs, approximately, from this project being completed (to an extent).
aeth, what do you have to say?

Really cool! Finally, a FFVII remix project. Even though FFVII doesn't have the best OST in the series, there are still some nice highlights here and there. I simply can't wait to hear remixes of JENOVA and One-Winged Angel. The people handling these two particular tracks have a lot to live up to since Square-Enix themselves remixed and modified both tracks a few times, and their takes are excellent I might add...especially Advent Children's One-Winged Angel remix.
Don't worry: [OMGSECRET]'s JENOVA mix is absolutely amazing.
As for one winged angel... ohwait, that's a secret too.
(As I've said before, I'm having way too much fun with this)
oh, you're such a loser, taucer.
that said, email me after you get back, please.

sorry I haven't made any posts about the new blood lately. I've had a family crisis, which caused me to be away from a computer for the last 5 days.
New guy: I figure you'll do. Get to work.
The Prophet: you are a helpful fellow.
thank you.

Hmm, that's kinda neat, tensai. Crappy mixing, but nice arrangement...you know constrictions I've put on style and mood, though?
Yeah, I hear that a lot, nice arrangement but crappy mixing
yes, I'm aware of the style constrictions, I'll definitely be able to abide by them, and I'll pay particular attention to the mixing now
I was planning on doing something slow and melancholic, partially orchestral, partially slow rock, with some real solo guitar.
i'll assist with the mixing half of things, if tensai writes the good arrangement. that's what taucer and i usually do.
you know, you should really use something not as annoying as putfile for this kind of stuff. even yousendit is better for this sort of thing.
-
i don't know of i mentioned this before, but i'm definately available for saxophone work and performance for this project. i really enjoyed ff7 all four times i played it =) and i'd love to help, if possible. maybe if a track is still open or someone backs out...?
-
Cool. I'm looking forward to completing this. It's been in the works since goddamned december '05. Which I'm sure has bothered you as well. Sorry about that.
the fact that we've been working on this project for that long (and that you've gained 300 posts since we started) is a notice that we're taking to damned long to finish this project.
does it piss anyone off that we've got no updates on our site since may 8th?
