Level 99 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I had gotten so many rejections with SoS, they all start to kind of blur together. Just keep on truckin' and finding new talent to provide great music. There's a ton of remixers out there, and even if you can't get your favorites on board, you'll likely stumble across someone who will just blow you away with what they do for your project. I can't attest to this enough. You may not get your favorites on board, but when new people come forward and totally blow away all expectations you had for what the new talent flow slowly trickling into OCR can do, I'd say that's just as good if not better. I personally have no preference between veteran and "fresh meat", as long as the quality is there I'm all for it! I'll be listening to the soundtrack while working today, hopefully.

Yeah, sometimes the project just doesn't come at a good time in someone's life for them to hop on board and devote the time needed. Or the music isn't up the artist's alley, or not familiar with the source and don't want to remix music from a game they haven't played. There's a myriad of reasons, and I've gotten lots of nos or non-responses in the past - it happens, so I wouldn't fret too much because there's probably no grudge or anything like that, they just aren't in the position to jump on board.

Jenz Drake Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 or not familiar with the source and don't want to remix music from a game they haven't played. Sorry, but I think that's a gay reason. Trust me - I really believe you should remix tracks of games you've played all the way... Jordan has heard me quote this several times... but the point is give it a chance! I have already turned lots of heads with this soundtrack. Wild ARMs was ignored because it released the same time FFVII did in 1997. I got lots of people that played it, but don't remember the source because it's been so long. I just want to get this game out of the hiding and be respected and noticed. The goal here is to get inspired. I've already inspired a few people to play the game like Yasha, ABG and Jewbei....even Jordan said he wanted to play it. Lol If you like the music well damn.... Sit down and play it as you remix it. Wild ARMs is very similar to CT, FF, and Lufia.. (my favorite games of all time) so give it a chance and don't be biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the tracks you'd be choosing... ask around for me if you don't mind and see if anyone wants to come on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the thing is that part of what gets some people inspired is if they played the game and heard the music and the instances it played in the game, so some people feel that they have a harder time doing a song justice if they haven't played the game. I know that doesn't apply to all, but I was just pointing out some people's viewpoint on that. I strongly disagree with it myself, but I have to respect it.

I know that doesn't apply to all, but I was just pointing out some people's viewpoint on that. I strongly disagree with it myself, but I have to respect it. that's true. I don't know if I speak for others, but it's like a whole different approach when you're remixing a song of a game you didn't play. That isn't a necessarily bad thing, but when you played the game, the song means more to you than just being cool music. That has never stopped me from remixing it anyway, I had never played any of the Tales games when I joined Kyle's project.... it did, however, inspire me to try......... though I ended up not really liking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global-Trance Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 There's also the instance where tons of people play a game that they like and make an average track for a project but give it all this praise and attention only because it's something they're familiar with... Music is music... you don't have to play the game first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I think if you really want cohesiveness in each track, all projects should come with mandatory mastering on behalf of the project coordinators. Well balanced sound beats well balanced style any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that doesn't apply to all, but I was just pointing out some people's viewpoint on that. I strongly disagree with it myself, but I have to respect it.Whether or not I actually believe that myself, I do seem to have an affiliation with game music from games that I've played before I'm currently playing through Wild Arms, and it's pretty good, so far (only 2 - 3 hours into it, though). It's been on my things-to-play list for a while, so now's a good time to finally get through it. I'll let you know if there's a song in it that I absolutely must have, Jade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well balanced sound beats well balanced style any day. i don't really agree with this. i think i'm perfectly capable of mastering my own stuff properly. also, i feel like having someone else master my track would dilute the experience for me. though an optional service of the same nature would be perfectly fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you enjoy it... Play really close attention to the details of the game and music. hehehehe Keep me updated on your adventure! and to everyone and Halc - if you need help with any mastering, ideas, production, etc... that's where bLiNd comes in. Don't forget he is the co-director and tracks go directly to him. We are honestly looking for quality over quantity.... so whatever needs to be done, it will be. I will make sure of it.

Like balancing levels and possibly frequencies so the album makes sense as whole. Not a question of your ability to mix/master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhsu Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm not really feeling the current project name...it's a little generic IMO. It would be nice to have something that evokes Western imagery as well as elements unique to Wild ARMs, like "Frontiers of Filgaia" or something to that effect.

You might not even need to change the title, just garnish it a bit. Something like "Filgaia Memoir Enchantia/Enchantasia" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Let Jade use whatever name she wants. The current name is fine. Then again, if the end result isn't as enchanting as it implies, ppl might be disappointed at first when it's rocking or chilling or groovy instead of enchanting. If it doesn't quite fit the songs, the name wouldn't need much fixing anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that will stand out. I don't want it generic to people. :\ Dhsu is right, though. The game IS western. It's enchanting to me because I look up to the soundtrack, but most will not agree with me. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
