ekm Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Okay, here's a tentative CD case cover. Tell me what you think. ??? Pretty cool, but please tell me you're going to spice up the text a bit. And for the love of god, anti-aliasing.
Claado Shou Posted October 18, 2004 Author Posted October 18, 2004 Claado, was it really ever your intention to reject anyone? I understand about only one person being able to get the title theme, but does the "audition" count for anything else? Well, yes. Sort of. It lets me weed out the people that think they have what it takes, claim a song, and then never do anything about it. Let's say some starting remixer comes in here and claims a 6:30 song, and then just sits on it. That wastes the opportunity for other people to get it done, and also for it to be done at its fullest effectiveness. Besides, if somebody doesn't want to participate in the auditioning process because it's too much hassle, then what can I expect from them when it comes to the real thing? Pretty cool, but please tell me you're going to spice up the text a bit. And for the love of god, anti-aliasing. I maaaaaaay. I'll probably just ask somebody to help me when it comes to design and stuff. krispy suggested somebody, and I'll look into it. BTW, krispy has been accepted into the mixing stage, as well as GrayLightning, who he dragged with him for collab. MIXERS: DarkeSword Unknown krispy GrayLightning Very nice.
Tyler Heath Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I love days off from school. I finished my audition piece in another few hours. Rellik, just for you I stuck closer to the original near the end. It's more than long enough now (4:20), with more emotional pull (I think?!) and variation. I'm actually considering submitting this to VGMix - I hadn't expected to get a full work out of an audition. Tyler Heath - Predetermination This song is pretty much done. If anyone has any specific suggestions/problems with it let me know and I'll look into fixing it.

Claado Shou Posted October 19, 2004 Author Posted October 19, 2004 Unknown, thou hast outdoneth thyself. Since you had been pre-approved prior to making this piece, I won't say anything about it being so long. But just for the record, this is masterful work here. I have to ask, however, that when you do start making mixes for this project, that they stay within the time limit. That's my only worry. Quality, as I can tell, will be superb no matter what.
Tyler Heath Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Yeah, after I had finished the song I re-read the audition guidlines and found that I had skipped the part about 3:00 long (+/- 5-10s) and had only read the part about "the only limit is the 3:00" and that it could be however long you wanted. My apologies, but I still like it.
Claado Shou Posted October 19, 2004 Author Posted October 19, 2004 Honestly, a lot of the ending material could be cut down/cut out entirely, and then the rest trimmed up for a perfectly acceptable 3:00 piece. If you still want to compete for the title theme, that is...
Xerol Oplan Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Well, if you can get voice actors lined up, and maybe find someone else with Maya, I might be able to do some CG work sometime next summer. (We've got quite a few things in the pipeline right now, but Escape's only going to take 2-3 months and the other stuff can be spread out over a year or so.)
Blake Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I'll have a lil WIP coming, though it's not good as Id like it to be.
Claado Shou Posted October 19, 2004 Author Posted October 19, 2004 I'll have a lil WIP coming, though it's not good as I'd like it to be. Take your time. It's a three-week stage, and you still have over two weeks left. Nobody's rushing you to hurry. If what you meant, though, is that you'd rather use non-free soundfonts, then I can understand. Don't belittle yourself, though. I'm sure it'll be great.

Tyler Heath Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Btw Tyler your song is awesome. hooray edit: I'm going to leave the song the way it is for now. I haven't heard the full editions of anyone else's songs yet (or even a wip, in some cases), so I'll wait and see who else made what. I'd kind of like for everyone to have a fighting chance, you know?
tweex Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 hey guys, just wanted to say that i like this project greatly, and having sephfire be my roommate, i get see this thing progress from the front line!! i just have one suggestion. it's kinda hard to find the audition pieces in this particular thread. with all the comments and ideas that are thrown out, it's kinda nasty to try and sort through each page to find the links. is there any way that they could be posted in the WIP forum as well. i could understand that djp might not like that, and that these pieces arent an actual remix but just an audition, but it would still be a little more organized that way. again, looking forward to this !!! djprotone

Claado Shou Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 Alright, I have some bad and urgent news. It doesn't involve the CT project, but then again, it kinda does. I will be indisposed (read: not at home) for the next week, until Thursday or Friday. There are some family issues that I have to deal with that I won't go into, but I'll tell you that it's important enough for me to leave immediately. If you want, continue to post audition pieces and get feedback. But just know that I won't be able to respond. Good luck. ~.C.S.~
Your Good Twin Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Well, I hope everything comes through with your personal dealings. Still supporting and looking forward to this.
sephfire Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 Dangit, I hate "songwriter's block" (term invented by me to make "talent deficit" sound professional). Hey Unknown what were you using in your percussion section? I can't quite pick each instrument out, but it sounds tight. I'm still working on mine. School is keeping me pretty pinned down though. Funny, I always thought to myself that I'd never attempt a remix of the CT opening theme because I'd never know what to do with it. I'll get something banged out eventually.
Raz Takasha Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 *still haunts this topic* Things seem to be goin' nicely for yall. About to hop over and listen to those tracks...
Sleepy Emp Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Ok, here's my wip. I hope I'll be able to finish it by November, 5 Thank you. CT Movie Soundtrack - The Story Begins
suzumebachi Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 If I were to partake and contribute musically to the project, would I, the great and noble Suzumebachi, be required to submit an audition?
Rellik Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Ok, here's my wip. I hope I'll be able to finish it by November, 5 Thank you.CT Movie Soundtrack - The Story Begins Cool! I like where it's going towards the end of the song (actually going into the theme that the audition is on). Only suggestion I really have is to improve the mixing. Other than that, very peppy and clean. What did you use for the brass?
sephfire Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Cool, almost forgot Emperor was getting in on this. Very noice. BTW, I updated my WIP last night. Still a tad sloppy, but I haven't had a lot of time. Inciting Incident
SirRus Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Wow, I am really impressed so far with the quality of songs here. Not really a surprise considering I have been a fan of each individual member's works before, but I gotta say, with the quality of musicians contributing so far, I am getting really excited about the future of this project.. and nervous about my own audition piece. Deadline is closer than I thought, hopefully I will have something to post here ASAP (somewhere between my assload of work and 3 midterms this week).
RoeTaKa Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Oh you know I might actually try for this, I have been doing two orchestral pieces for the past two days so a third being this audition wouldn't hurt! I'll see what I can try.
