José the Bronx Rican Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I'm still at it, folks. Much like paying off my credit card balance, I keep forgetting I should add something here every once in a while before I get dropped. At my end, the vocal portions are being delayed until next month, and I'll have new WIPs tomorrow for the music (although I really wanted to update my site before that). I'm also asking DJSammy to please stand by, because one tune will almost definitely have an itch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José the Bronx Rican Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 EDIT: Decided to turn this post edit into a new post, because I thought the thread needed a bump. Beg pardon. Here are the new WIPs... http://bronxrican.com/stuff/misc/jose-oc-deejayreggaeton.mp3 I have arrangement ideas now, and instruments are pretty much set. Vocals will come, hopefully, and I may want a sample scratched ("Thank you, deejay"), if I don't think it'll be a clutter. I was playing around with a synth-stab live; if I work that out, it will be quantized. http://bronxrican.com/stuff/misc/jose-oc-vega-end.mp3 Arranged; not much else, and I don't think there'll be much else, but I really won't know until the vocals are laid down.

Shael Riley Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hey! I appreciate you posting WIPs, Jose. I've been real busy--sorry I haven't gotten to them yet but I'll post feedback soon. Prolly tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shael Riley Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Feedback on Jose's WIPs: Dee Jay: Overall a tight beat that will suit some vocals well. The strings, though, are ugly as sin; you might try a new sample and/or some effect processing. The syncopated synths stabs work at times but are distracting at others. The piano could benefit from a more loose, improvisational interpreation of the melody, including more trills and grace notes. I know it sounds like a lot, but if I pointed out all the WIPs strong points, I'd be filling up three times as much space. Looking forward to the finished product, and to seeing you on Friday with the rest of those crazy kids. Vega's Ending: Again, I wasn't feeling the dry strings in the intro, but once the beats, bass and tense piano came in, I was bouncing my head like whoa! I'm really feeling this as a rap beat. Shit, it's an exciting prospect; the strings even work once the rest of the instruments come in to compliment them. If matched with powerful vocals and finished with care, this could be one of the best tracks on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjSammyG Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hey, Jose, You want me to do some live scratching work on the tracks? I'd love to, if you think it would add to them. If you're interested, send me the wav file of the song, maybe record like 4 or 5 one to two second sayings or whatever for me to scratch. Then, just tell me where you want the scratching done!

José the Bronx Rican Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 That's the plan, SammyG. I'll let you know when I'm ready, and I'll send everything. And Shael's got everything pegged so far: all the instruments will be improved on, and especially mixed about, once I get the compositions down.

Aetherius Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 since I'm currently without my standard software/hardware, I'm working on melodic and lyrical ideas right now...Hopefully I'll be able to jump right in to mixing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Testament Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Ok, I've done as much as I can think of with Akuma's theme. I've re-jigged the intro to make it just a wee bit stronger. I've changed a few samples here and there. As for the production quality side of things, I'm not sure what to do with it. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreiciated.

Shael Riley Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Nesper's track is sexual. I'm going to have to overhaul the initial post--rewrite it completely and update the track list, plus keep a list of finished tracks. Ya'll doing good?

Eternal Testament Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Shael, my latest WIP should be snugly nestled in your inbox by now. Oh yeah, BUMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjSammyG Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 OMG bump. Anyway, I got my mic working, so if anyone wants me to do some vocal work on tracks, I'd love to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Testament Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Akuma is damn near finished. I need help cleaning up all the pops, clicks, crackles and farts. There aren't too many but they're noticeable. Not having any knowledge of sound engineering, this task is proving vexing. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreiciate it. Thnx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shael Riley Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Blind and Leifo's Sagat is, indeed, finished, and awesome. One more track down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fox Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Blind and Leifo's Sagat is, indeed, finished, and awesome. One more track down. How about that update on the first page? Theres a diferent collab on Chun-Li. It would be good to have some color labels (like red for free track, green for taken track, blue for finished) or something... Anyway, after my hard drive crash I am re-doing Chun-Li, and Shael (quite cruelly by the way), said that he was glad I lost the older version, cause this one is better. So cheers!!! =D EDIT: Me and Malcos are going to collab in Balrogs End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battousai Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Shael linked me a sample of what this album is going to sound like, and I have to say that if the rest of the songs turn out anything like the Ryu track is shaping up to be, then we're all in for a super treat. Kudos to those of you contributing to this wonderful body of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Testament Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Akuma update - Good news: I've discovered the source of the clipping problems. Bad News: I'm gonna have to redo all the post production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Testament Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Akuma update 2: Revenge of the Updating Thing Ok, I've wittled it down to two versions. The first has limited clipping and good frequency range but limited amplitude. The second has no clipping whatseoever, good amplitude but a limited frequency range. This is probably down to the limitations of my setup, I can't get a good frequency range without sacrificing amplitude. Ah well, I'm gonna have to pick one soon. EDIT: My terminology needs work too. I meant dynamic range rather than frequency range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José the Bronx Rican Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Still on this, and the expected delays are killing me, but I promise to get these done. The issue right now is finding time to sit and write lyrics, then getting my borrowed mic back. In other news, I just upgraded, and FL6 is lookin' sweet....

Eternal Testament Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Just a curiosity really, but what is everyone working on with this project? It doesn't matter wether it's been accepted or not. I'm doing Akuma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjSammyG Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I finished my portion of Chun Li's stage, and am gonna help Jose out with Deejay's stage, and another that I can't remember. I'm also doing a live crazy mix of the vocal tracks from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
