uuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhh

I would join this in a heartbeat if blind and spoon didn't pick the two best songs.

Oh dear, if only I had allowed more than one remix to those very eager to remix an already claimed track!

All tracks may have a maximum of 2 remixes.

*ahem* ^^^

Wrong. Neither of them picked Flaahgra.

I am getting ahold of a microphone + cable this weekend. I will have your mix sometime next week. I can send a demo of it this week if you want, but it will be EXTREMELY distorted due to I can't put the volume of the USB microphone down (and I need a loud piano to figure out what I'm playing).

Also, incase people didn't read my PMs, I would like to claim "Samus Farewell"... I realize this is a mix of two songs, and isn't that important a track. But I think a piano mix would be a nice semi-finish before the credits. That, and I think we need something between Samus vs. Metroid Prime and the credits.

It seems people are arguing over tracks we've missed, or what ones to do. At home, I have the official soundtrack + every track that's missed there and is in the game (excluding one of the ambient chozo ruins themes: I can't find it in good quality). Of course, some tracks are not important enough for a remix. I will post the tracks in bold that I recommend. Tracks in italics have a longer version earlier/later on in the soundtrack. Tracks with a * are played in previous Metroid games.

...as you can see, this is a HUGE soundtrack. And it only gets longer from here (although in all fairness, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption have far more pure ambient songs, which would prove difficult to remix). I don't think we should follow this order 100%. For example, I think the Chozo Ruins can go before Hive Mecha. Chozo Temple to Hive Mecha would be a weird jump.

Of course, it's idiotic to try and cover every song. Thus why I put up my recommendations. Even then, I think there might be one too many tracks. So I have a few recommendations:

For one, fanfares. Either they should not be present, or should be allowed to bipass the "2 minute" rule. I think Samus Aran's Arrival Fanfare is too important to skip.

Secondly, I suggest certain tracks be merged, as they are played later, but are important to the start of the adventure. Tracks such as the Data Selection Menu, I think, could be merged with Distress Signal, or again, be allowed to bipass the "2 minute" rule. We don't won't to bog down our soundtrack, and we have enough work as it is. In fact, for Data Selection Menu, we could perhaps use a snippet of the credits remix?

Thirdly: I highly suggest that we do NOT use multiple remixes of the same song, for multiple reasons: The project could be bogged down in a "Ridley Remix" project; This soundtrack will be huge as it is. If we must, I suggest putting repeats on a "bonus disc", if we have the time. That's what previous projects have done, and I think it's worked out quite fine for them.

One final note: As I posted, some tracks were slightly edited after their beta phase. I have provided the link to them for inspiration.

(to anyone else, read Aevon's original post because I'm not gonna quote the whole thing.)

I made my tracklist according to the source material present.

I only want to cover level themes, boss music, and title/credits.

Data Selection menu and distress signal? These tracks don't have a common chord progression, I don't see why I should merge them in the tracklist.

Just because the source is below 2 minutes doesn't mean the remix has to be.

Tracks on this project follow my interpretation of submission guidelines, which is a bit weaker than OCR Standards. A little conservative-ness and/or liberality over a 50 50 ratio is fine with me, as long as its evident that effort when into the arrangement of the track and it's not a cover.

Thirdly: I highly suggest that we do NOT use multiple remixes of the same song, for multiple reasons: The project could be bogged down in a "Ridley Remix" project; This soundtrack will be huge as it is. If we must, I suggest putting repeats on a "bonus disc", if we have the time. That's what previous projects have done, and I think it's worked out quite fine for them.

It is for this specific reason that I only allow two remixes per track. Repeats were already going to be put on a separate disc.

If I hadn't said anything about something specific, please don't assume that I'm not going about doing it the most practical way (and what other projects have done)

My final say on the matter was that there were only two mixes allowed for one track. If you wanted a track that was covered two times, you have to pick a different track or you're not on the project. Some tracks in the game are different tracks put together, like Samus's Farewell, and if you want to do something like that because Distress Signal and Data Selection were both covered two times, I'll let it slide. I've also been considering allowing a mixer to have a song he wants, that's already been done twice by two other people, done a third time if he wants to include another track in his remix.

Also, if you have problems or suggestions for my tracklist, I suggest you PM me instead of doing it on the thread.

In case you might not have understood, this is not to go on a Metroid Prime Trilogy fan game remake, and my tracklist is in no specific order.

I'll sort out the order it when it comes to that, but for now, leave the tracks to me. I will continue this conversation in a PM regarding problems with your suggestions. :/

Nabeel asked me to lock this. He'd like to do some more work on his own--off-forum--before running this in the public sphere. If you're involved with this, I'm sure he'll contact you.
