odber Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Just donated all that was left on my miniscule paypal account. Are you still far off from your goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 We're actually pretty close to our target amount - thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Obsidious Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Even if I don't get a copy of the CD (Though it'd be nice if I did . I did just pay $40 mind you), it felt good simply donating. This is an album that is paying tribute to my childhood video game after all, and I already hold a lot of anticipation for this project; enough to say that I can't turn a donation. Though we have yet to listen to whole deal, just from the previews the artists on board have no doubt they've done a fantastic job with this. It's good to hear your near your target. On a side, it's the month of the 'early next month' you guys were talking about *Waits patiently and diligently* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Oh don't worry, I didn't forget - I kept the PMs/paypal notifications and will be looking at them when we do get it printed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikurotoro Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 where will you be selling this album, itunes, walmart, how much does it cost? i'd like to get an actual copy:-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odber Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 where will you be selling this album, itunes, walmart, how much does it cost? i'd like to get an actual copy:-P CD printings for OCR are always promotional, and never for sale. $40 (in the U.S.A, more for international shipping) will land you a copy of the album as they are still in need of money to print the CDs for said promotional needs. All interested people, paypal the $ to wesley.cho@gmail.com . The amount is up to all of you of course as to what you want to donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Not technically selling the album - the album will be free to download. The CDs themselves are not for sale - any giveaway is a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sent wesley cho more $$$ to reach the quota. I hope my donation helped you guys reach your goal!! I wanna say it also "pays tribute to my childhood video game" but I was only 5 when my uncle introduced it to me. If anything I just enjoyed watching other people play it and collect bananas...hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Just got it - we are $11 from our target mark! Thanks to everyone so much, I will personally be mailing out the CDs once they get printed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whilst Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just a suggestion, when this gets released and gets its own torrent I think there should be a torrent with both mp3 and flac files. that way people can just choose which ones they want. I think what's most preferred is mp3 at v0 quality (~320kbps) and flac files with a .cue file to be used to burn proper audio CDs. Also, is there a preferred method of linking to (from a blog/website) the project website upon completion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odber Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just a suggestion, when this gets released and gets its own torrent I think there should be a torrent with both mp3 and flac files.

Bahamut Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yeah, FLAC + mp3 is the standard release format for OCR, unless a lossless file is not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Why FLAC when you could WAV? Then let whoever wants a FLAC make it from the WAV. I'd rather have the high quality original WAVs that you could burn on a disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Why FLAC when you could WAV? Then let whoever wants a FLAC make it from the WAV. I'd rather have the high quality original WAVs that you could burn on a disc. WAV's take a lot of space, and I don't think the difference between the sound quality of a wav and a FLAC is that noticeable. I can't even tell between a 192 kbps mp3 and a wav. :/ And why make the listener do it? That seems awfully lazy to just make the people do it instead of the people on the project doing it.

Sir_Snooze Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 This may sound heretical, but - why FLAC? It's the single most inconvenient formatting I've ever seen. It doesn't play with anything, it's massive, it doesn't burn, it doesn't sync, and it's really not a great audio boost, so far as I know. Listening to the two (and I may sound like a stupid for this), I can't tell them apart. So, unless someone out there has a mecha-massoton of speakers chilllin' by their compy (and I'm sure that someone exists), what's the point? I'm not saying don't release it in .FLAC, I'm just not-too-sure what the point is of .FLAC at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 If you don't understand the point of FLAC, then you're not an audiophile and don't need FLAC. Just download the MP3 version. Torrent programs let you choose which files you want, and you can also just download it from the mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whilst Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'll just explain real quick why FLAC would be the better choice: 1. mp3 is a lossy format, FLAC is not [it is indeed lossless], it keeps the original quality of the wav file, where as mp3 cuts away some of the stuff humans can't hear (most humans) and uses it's own compression algorithm. Think of FLAC as a zipped WAV file...but playable. 2. FLACs are easily burnable to CDs by using many many many programs which support FLAC. I reccomend Burrrn. To play FLAC files just use VLC media player. 3. Another benefit is that you can archive all of your wav files (backing up cds, for example) and save a lot of room. Once you convert to mp3, converting back to WAV is detrimental to the audio. I hope the explanation helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Why FLAC when you could WAV? Then let whoever wants a FLAC make it from the WAV. I'd rather have the high quality original WAVs that you could burn on a disc. That's a dumb argument. FLAC is lossless and very easily burnable/convertable. It's just smaller in filesize. Also on an idealistic note it's open source, cross-platform and the more sites supporting it - the better the format will get as a whole. WAV's take a lot of space, and I don't think the difference between the sound quality of a wav and a FLAC is that noticeable. I can't even tell between a 192 kbps mp3 and a wav. :/And why make the listener do it? That seems awfully lazy to just make the people do it instead of the people on the project doing it. The sound quality between a wav and FLAC is not noticeable, they're both lossless. Both are the same audio quality. FLAC is just smaller.
