JJT Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 It's pretty rough around the edges, and I probably used more compression on it than I should have for the style, but since this was three years ago and I've improved a bit since then, it's forgivable.http://ryan8bit.com/music/Ryan8bit_-_Kill_Bill(Super_Dodge_Ball).mp3 I'm sure you'll have bias towards your own version too. MEbias. Nice take on the theme, though.

Murmeli Walan Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 So, I woke up this morning, visited OCR because I haven't in a while, and found out that the Bad Dudes released an SDB album. It feels like I'm in junior high gym class again, and I just took a dodge ball to the face. I'm not mad or upset or angry or anything. I've known for years that Mustin was interested in arranging the SDB soundtrack, and it looks like he beat his procrastination sooner than I did. In fact, I'm pretty excited because he gathered together a great list of artists, including some who I tried to unsuccessfully recruit over the years. This is a must download for me later today. As for Around the World... I just can't take my dodge ball and go home on this one. Cancelling the project would be selfish of me and unfair to the people who worked on it. Hell, there are tracks that will be posted to OCR after the project's out, and that's way more than I could've hoped three years ago. I'm gonna mull over my options on this one and get back to you guys. But I think it's time for a project restart. Stuff that's being made now I WANT DONE. Stuff I have that hasn't been updated in years (I'm looking at you, Rexy) I WANT UPDATED. I'll post more thoughts on this later. For now, I'm gonna download the Kenya remix and get my zyko fix.
Murmeli Walan Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 May 21, 2008: So guess what? Looks like we got beat to the punch. Mustin and the Bad Dudes have put together their own SDB tribute album and released it recently. It's called "No Balls, No Glory" and you can download it over at www.noballsnoglory.net I just finished listening to the album, and I can easily say that it's one of my favorite fan remix albums to date. I'll have my personal review up later today. However, it leaves me with a big question: what do I do with Around the World? Mustin was able to get together some real big names in the game remix community for his album, including a few that I tried to recruit without success. Hell, he even found support from the team that's putting together the upcoming Super Dodge Ball Brawlers for the Nintendo DS. I'm sure I wouldn't be given the time of day if I tried contacting a company like that. So what do I do here? Do I tuck my tail between my legs and go crawling away? No, I just can't do that. I really have a deep love and appreciation for Super Dodge Ball and Sawa's soundtrack. For me to just cancel this project would be selfish to me and unfair to the artists that I did recruit. At the same time, however, I can't just sit here and ignore the album while it idles like it has for the past couple years. If anything, the No Balls, No Glory album has inspired me to march ahead and get this album finished. I have some big ideas floating around in my head now about how Around the World can possibly hang with the Bad Dudes album. But to do that, I need to take care of the project's loose ends that have be bothering me as of late. Today, I'm ordering a restart of the Around the World project. I have ideas in my mind for which artists to contact next, but I'm putting that on the back burner. The first thing that needs to be done is to deal with the languishing list of artists that either never sent me final versions of their tracks or updates to works in progress. I am setting a current remixer deadline for this coming Friday the 13th, June 13th. This is exactly three weeks from this Friday. This is what I want: if you are listed as Yes or No on the track listing above, then I want an updated WIP. If you are listed as DONE, then I want a FINAL VERSION of the track sent to me in an uncompressed .wav format. ANYONE ON THE LIST WHO FAILS TO MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS BY JUNE 13TH WILL BE BOOTED FROM THE PROJECT. After the Friday the 13th deadline, when we'll concentrate on filling in the remaining track list slots. ONCE AGAIN, THE DEADLINE TO TURN IN EITHER A FINAL UNCOMPRESSED .WAV OF YOUR TRACK OR AN UPDATED WIP IS ON FRIDAY, JUNE 13TH, THREE WEEKS FROM THIS FRIDAY. ANYONE WHO FAILS TO MEET THIS DEADLINE WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE ALBUM. I will personally try to get into contact with all of my artists about the deadline. I know that some of you who finished their songs a long time ago may not have those project files around anymore, we'll discuss this soon. For now, I want this project to start moving again. Edit: holy crap, I just realized that the Around the World project is so old, they were talking about it on VGDJ. And I mean the Aurora/Rayza VGDJ, too.
Murmeli Walan Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 Well, I know that you had your computer crash a while back, and you probably don't have the project files from your remix. Just send me the highest quality version of the Kenya mix that you have. The important thing here is that the file you send me is the absolute final version of the remix, and there won't be any more changes to it.
prophetik music Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 i redid the whole mix, and i've got the files, which is the cut that got accepted by the panel. i've got that cut around here somewhere.
Murmeli Walan Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 So the mix that you just PM'd me is the cut that the panel accepted? If so, then excellent. You're taken care of on this mix, then.
prophetik music Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 lol, it got accepted ages ago. i did the whole thing, and then zircon mastered it for me because that was the original reason for the rejection.
Theory of N Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Awesome. I'm kinda excited about this. I want to be on this project but seeing that the only track left was China's theme...I would be like "alright, let's do this." Listen to the track a few times, fiddle around in FL, and... nothing. It sucks. I hate that song.
avaris Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Awesome. I'm kinda excited about this. I want to be on this project but seeing that the only track left was China's theme...I would be like "alright, let's do this." Listen to the track a few times, fiddle around in FL, and...nothing. It sucks. I hate that song. There are 4 tracks open? Japan, England, India, and Ending/Credits. My offer still stands if anyone wants to arrange a track I will do all of the instrumentation, beats, and mastering.
chrono26 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 i promised that i would have my tracks done very soon after i got my new computer running. but there's been some problems with that....prophet can attest.
prophetik music Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 TONIGHT TONIGHT we'll have it working. i PROMISE. fricking windows won't authenticate properly and dumped his installation key. i'll talk him through it tonight and he'll be mixing soon.
Murmeli Walan Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 So yeah, one week left. And how many people have checked in with me? Two, three? It's not pretty.
avaris Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I'm in the process of moving. My roomate had surgery so basically I have to move everything. I'll also have to reload a bunch of old software to open up the project file. Expect my Wav sometime next week.
Murmeli Walan Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 Awesome. Good to hear. (The .wav submission, I mean. Not your roommate getting surgery.)
Ryan8bit Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 It's been so long, but didn't I send you a .wav of my file years ago? I can probably send it again if need be...
Murmeli Walan Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Nah, I'm pretty sure I didn't get a wav from you. I can only see the mp3 version in my project files. So yeah, real life's being a real bitch to me as of late...again...but I'll still make sure this moves along in a more timely manner from now on.
The Coop Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 With four tracks unclaimed, and three possibly in limbo, perhaps you should see about either making a short lived new thread, or moving this one, to Community to do some re-pimping of this. Might stir up some new talent to help put those last four - seven tunes to bed.
Mae Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Hey all. This is mostly a bump, but it's also a quick little update for anyone keeping track of this project - but not necessarily checking out the judging forum. We have two tracks that have already been accepted for posting on OCR after this project gets finished up: Avaris - Super Dodge Ball 'Breakbeat Market' *PROJECT* The Prophet of Mephisto - Super Dodge Ball 'Rockin the Yard' *PROJECT* I'll take this moment to extend a very warm "nice work" to Avaris and The Prophet of Mephisto for their excellent tracks. I'd also like to encourage the other remixers with finished tracks to submit (or resubmit if that is the case). There is some amazing talent already on the project. If there's anyone still watching this thread who hasn't offered to help out - now's the time. We still have a few openings, and any additional talent will be very welcome.
prophetik music Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 first non-collab accepted mix in 14 tries! YES! of course, zircon helped majorly with mastering, but still...
Murmeli Walan Posted August 2, 2008 Author Posted August 2, 2008 This woman speaks the truth. I'm very proud of the both of you, and I can't wait for the day that those tracks are posted on the front page. But we still have to finish the project before that can happen, so let's get things moving! I encourage anyone who's interested to make a post here or sending Mae and myself a PM.

prophetik music Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 pity. i think pokemon's going to do a 'moar mixerz' thread, so i would think that it's ok for this project to do the same. or, at least get it moved back to where it was before it came to the black hole that is projects forum.
