Brandon Strader Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 February 15th is the WIP (or Final Song) date! Are you a bad enough dude to finish your song so we can get the album out? It's almost 2 weeks, and I know you guys are capable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Got a decent update on my track with a breakdown and few touches on the existing sections. Might work on it a bit more before posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Boss intro/Boss BGM just opened up, if anyone would like to help out, please let me know ASAP. Would be ideal if you could finish the song within a month. Got a decent update on my track with a breakdown and few touches on the existing sections. Might work on it a bit more before posting. Sweet, thank you for your dedication. And all of you, it has been great! After the 15th deadline... I may try to contact people a little more often, just those that don't turn in the final song. The "deadlines" are going to be increments of 15 days, with increasing amounts of nagging as we go along. If you want to avoid my nagging, see if you can turn in something substantial by the 15th! The people who read this thread are doing really well with their songs, you guys are great, I'm gonna have to get my nag on for a few of the Facebook people.

Rockos Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 It's sad. What happened? I could try to get something done with it. But as for now don't count me in for this one. If something really interesting comes up I'll let you know ASAP. Meanwhile, I'm polishing the last bit this week just before 15 so I can have something decent for the final wav.

The remixer is having a tough time IRL, and real life is the priority, especially when people are sick or have something really serious going on. edit: I asked Hylian Lemon and he's gonna try to make it next weekend! Even Sir_NutS expressed interest in possibly helping if we don't find someone else. It's good to know you both are there to help just in case. Definitely makes things seem more optimistic that this won't get stuck in development forever. I am excited to hear your final version of the song, Rockos! It's really good.

Rockos Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah. I'm working at my day job today from 9 to 9 but I'll try to upload my final version for the deadline or later this week-end. But it's definitly coming thogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamphibious Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just finished midterm week and our week-long break starts today, so the final song is imminent in the soontime future. Shouldn't have put it off for so long I sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Updated, getting close. Def need some feedback and thoughts on the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 You guys are awesome! I just posted comments where needed on WIPs, if I forgot anyone please let me know ASAP. I certainly didn't forget on purpose. I'll go ahead and say it now, let's try to have the songs COMPLETELY FINISHED by March 1st! That will be awesome if we can pull it off. Thank you!!

avaris Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Got a proposed final version of mine up. Please tear it to shreds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) I am sorry for being so slow with stuff. Trying to manage a crazy IRL schedule of stuff. I'm going to be getting in touch with whoever I haven't heard from, probably on the 23rd but maybe as late as the 25th... still got stuff going on plus will be at work. If anyone would like to sound off in here on their own, that would be much appreciated + preferred! As it stands we've got great progress, 3 finished WAVs and a WIP for every song. Only hold out is Willrock, who seems to have gone rogue and is planning to take his remix to The Shizz's Bionic Commando album directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I gotta be honest, I did not see that coming. (I'm kidding, I'm kidding... I totally saw that coming!) Just for fun here's some of the genre split so far: Orchestral, dubstep, djent, chiptune (hopefully a first to get posted on OCR, let's make history!), and (blanket term) electronica!

Nutritious Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 You guys are all literally the best. I've heard from everyone and wrangled a wav from Will. Now we're even for you getting a hold of Ben for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) OK GUYS! It's March 1st and it'll be past in a few hours... There's still a handful of wavs that are not in yet. I got a call from Ben Briggs which was a surprise, but he's working on the song! I will be checking with other folks soon, but it is looking like we're going to be having another 15 day increment for the deadline. We're going to need to ramp things up to get this done without going too long throughout the year! EDIT: Can we... PLEASE... try to finish the songs by APRIL 1st?

Sir_NutS Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Another potential final mix done. Mine should be done between today and tomorrow. Runs for around 4 mins, just need an outro at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 It is with immense joy that I announce the completion of Avaris' brilliant Bionic Commando remix, Hold Your Weapon. A song that gets stuck in my head EVERY time I listen to it. It's really catchy, and very impressive. The remixes are really good for this album, everyone is doing such an amazing job, thank you all so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks Brandon. Oh yeah the track is not a down tempo track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 My track is done and submitted. That's one more down! I'm very happy to be part of this project and I feel grateful for the invitation to contribute to this. I hope I did Area 1 justice, and I'm looking forward to this album's successful release. I've heard the other tracks and they're rock solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Heck yeah, that means we've officially got 50% of the music turned in. A round of applause for Sir_NutS and avaris, two hard working and very passionate dudes, thank you for your hard work! If we keep up at this pace... well, I dunno about April 1st, but SOON! Very soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) I made a mistake, and didn't realize we do actually have a WAV from Rozovian, it is on his server. My apologies to him for this oversight on my part. This puts us at 7 WAVs, 5 songs remaining to need WAVs. I am going to move the final deadline to April 30th. Why? 1. Easter 2. This will give everyone time to actually shoot for a final goal instead of trying to just weasel along every 15 days with a deadline. BUT This will be a more strict deadline, if the date comes along and there are still unfinished songs (I'm looking at you, Albatross!) the consideration will be given to cut the artist and seek a new one to cover the song unless adequate explanation is given and assurance that the song will be completed in a timely fashion. Thank you all for your hard work!! EDIT: I purposely didn't tell Ben Briggs because I knew if he knew the deadline was moved he wouldn't make his song. He turned in a WAV on April 1st. Crafty, but it worked! I am a lot more confident that the WHOLE thing can be completed this month as a result, the last 4 (FOUR!!!) people are very dependable, hard working folks. I will need to get working on the art and website soon IMPORTANT NOTE: I fixed the source titles for each song, They are as follows: Prologue - Rockos OK, We'll Move - Brandon Strader Bionic Commando Theme - Sir_NutS Amongst Allies - Phonetic Hero Heat Wave - Nutritious Meet the Enemy and Descend - avaris Leap of Faith - WillRock Power Plant - Amphibious Boss Dialogue, Intruder Alert - Hylian Lemon Rise of the Albatross - Gario Albatross - Benjamin Briggs Epilogue - Rozovian Edited April 1, 2013 by Brandon Strader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
