The Joker Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 So we're back to making Lava Reef/Hidden Palace a single song now? I mean between Nuts' mix & Snapple's idea, that seems to be the answer. If so just announce it so I can stop working on my Hidden Palace exclusive mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappleMan Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 So we're back to making Lava Reef/Hidden Palace a single song now? I mean between Nuts' mix & Snapple's idea, that seems to be the answer. If so just announce it so I can stop working on my Hidden Palace exclusive mix. Well, it's only natural progression. The two songs are back to back, and are pretty much the same song only arrangements of one another. I'm planning to have a nice seperation of the two, so it's not just one structure. As much as I like to trash my own work (for good reason most of the time), I'm honestly putting out 1000% towards making the stuff I do on this album the best I can possibly do. I expect everyone else to do the same ! And so far, I'm happy to say that I'm seeing it happen! Alot of you are being very critical of not only eachothers, but your own individual work, and that's the absolute most important thing this project needs! Keep up the good work people!

ellywu2 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 looks like i'll choose a different track, i'll have a look at the list again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 sounds like a firm idea Snapple, but what if people prefer to hear the lava reef and hidden palace interpretations as separate MP3s? o_O [EDIT: While I'm here, I'm saying that after my exams are clear (May 9th) I will spend some time polishing up most of my work-in-progress mixes as well as steadily work on some piano backlogs to gradually submit over the vacation. In that case, I want you to put me in for a big, BIG maybe on the Competition Menu. Please? ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadyn Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 sounds like a firm idea Snapple, but what if people prefer to hear the lava reef and hidden palace interpretations as separate MP3s? o_O Yeah. I, for example, have a strong belief that they should be split into seperate mixes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Im working on a new mix. I might actually set egg stadium aside for now and focus more on this, because I like how its turning out alot more. Ill post it up once Its far enough in progress (which will be very soon to say the least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for example, have a strong belief that they should be split into seperate mixes... Actually, I believe the same thing. How about this? Snapple does the Lava Reef/Hidden Palace mix, and Joker does the exclusive Hidden Palace mix. Would it really be that bad to hear the same track done twice?

What would Sir Nuts think? You're right. It would be unfair to have two versions of the same track, but not of other tracks. The number of remixers involved in this project is getting so large, maybe there should be a "Plutonium Edition" like with RoFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 no, I meant that Nuts was the other person working on Hidden Palace Given KFC's front page commentary I thought that he and his collab partner seem to stand a better chance on getting on the project at this moment in time.

ellywu2 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hey everyone, just showing you a quick WIP of carnival nights. Its Hadyn's track. I asked him if i could do the drums for him, and he said yes Obviously there are a few issues here .The strings are a bit too loud. .Some of the Drums need just a little bit more EQing, specially in the high ends. .Some of the hi-hats and crashes need to go. Enjoy so far! We should have more for you guys soon http://www.soundclick.com/bands/2/carpetmonstermusic.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Cool stuff. Im liking it alot. Not much crit for me right now, as Ive been awake for almost 20 hours and my judgement probably isnt very good. Anywho, the first WIP for the new mix is done, and here is the link for it. (told you it would be a quick one) New mix, new title: Inside the Mind of an Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappleMan Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Well, I look at it this way, Lava Reef and Hidden palace are the same song, just different arrangements of the same composition, just like any other zone. But, I think Norrin (he'll be doing most of the work on the track, I'm just laying down drums for him) will not mind leading one into the other, like I am with Final Boss/Doomsday, and release it as two tracks.

Rexy Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 yeah, that can be fair but I think the reason why they are defined as seperate is because they have totally different melody lines in spite of sharing the same syncopated synth background motif. Interesting that you both will manage to adapt to the one-track-lead-into-another approach, just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadyn Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe the only thing they have in common is one background synth, and that does not constitute them being the same song... That's my opinion, anyway. I just have no idea why people think they're the same... The chord progression, the mood, the everything - it's so different between the two ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siamey Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 hey so does that mean that my song cant be in the project, cause its not on the front list? i thought the first wip deadline was like may 9th, and thats when i had mine up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 It said he'd update as he relistened, and there's quite a bit to go through, so I'm not too worried. There's still like five or so not up anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joker Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 You know, I have %100 confidence that my Hidden Palace mix would stand up really well to both Nuts & Snapples mixes. It's just theres so many soundfonts & compositonal things it's been taking forever to render. I keep aborting in the middle cause I keep having to do things with my comp. I'll probably end up exporting each individual track into a wav file then compiling the song with my seldom used audio mixer. But I'll keep trying to get it uoploaded. And I completely agree on Hidden Palace & Lave Reef being two very different songs. Kinda like a Movie OST has a common theme but different takes on said theme. My Hidden Palace mix is more like an adventure movie set in a Mayan temple. While I could see Lava Reef as a rock mix, I just don't see Hidden Palace as one. It's more ambient & groove based. A guitar situated with eihter a trace like or symphonic like instumentation would be more suiting IMO. P.S On a side note I'd be more than willing to send a zipped file to anyone who thinks their computer could render it faster than my own. Provided you use FL studio 5.

SnappleMan Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Okay people, I know this is moving a bit fast, but we got some more people signing up to do tracks. No names till they decide if they're in or not. I'm confident that we'll get a nice assortment of styles and genres, and since we are getting a wide variety of people (not just OCR regulars), I'm also confident in a good turnout of songs. I'd like to ask the people who have something completed (WIP or finished song) to send it to me on AIM (SNKFreak) over the course of the week. I'd like to know where the project stands as a whole, so we can work towards starting an official project thread in the Site Projects forum as soon as possible. Also, it would be really cool if we can all arrange some kind of group chat sessions, either on IRC, AIM or whatever else is accessible to most of us. That way, we can all exchange tracks in private, comment on eachothers work, and not have everything out in the open for the whole world to see and hear our music before it's even completed. Anyone with ideas, questions, or threats should PM me or contact me on AIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just record the song...hit the little record button on the bottom of the FL mixer, save the file, press the record button next to the play button at the top and let the song play though. Rendering sucks if you use lots of samples and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have a private forum([seems to have died])(the link is always in my sig). As for sending you the WIP/remix, I'll just give you a link sometime later this week.

Upthorn Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Wow. A lot happened while I was without net access for a week. I couldn't even find the thread at first. For a second, I was scared it got locked and deleted. Anyway, after a lot of thought and effort, I have come to the conclusion that should have been obvious before I even started: I'm not good enough to do this song justice. Every time I try to fix a problem, the song comes out worse for the effort. So I would like to announce that I am no longer working on Sky Sanctuary. (After all the fuss I made to get Sith to put me on the front page.) I'll still be hanging around the thread providing WIP commentary, though. Until I get chased off with pitchforks.
