MyrmidonX Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 First post edited.it's time for album evals once we get the last track in. After that, we'll see what judges and mods say about it all. I suspect a number of tracks will need some refinement, and I fear a track or two might not meet the standards at all, but if they can't be fixed, they'll be bonus tracks. No more delays, if it can be helped. Also, this album is going to be spectacularly awesome. You guys have no idea how much awesome we've kept secret from you all. Bring on the awesome!

Meteo Xavier Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Wow, more than a month with no progress? Not quite, I at least fixed up my piano track with KarthRevived and it sounds considerably better. Last track is still being worked on, dinnae worry folks. This project could be finished any time now. Like waiting for a baby to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 8 years for a baby? I don't want to see what this looks like when it's finally born. Probably all shriveled up like a raisin. Same color too. I kid you guys, keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad.mixx Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 so if i gave a remix for that last song really quick, would you guys still accept it at this point? i'm starting to get ideas, and i might do something anyways but lemme know if you guys want it.

Brandon Strader Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'm not sure how I feel about the title Songs of Light and Darkness now Is there a chance we could maybe change it to Music With Dynamic Timbre or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have any content refusal policy that I know of, so if it was good and fit into the guidelines of the project, we would take it, but I'd be very hesitant to take it as a replacement for Usa's just to get the project done. That comes off as a real dick move on our part and Usa's still a larger player on this project than others. Long story short, you can do one and send it to us, but I'd still hold out for Usa's, and yours may be a duplicate project track or a bonus one or something. We'll see what Rozovian. I'm not sure how I feel about the title Songs of Light and Darkness nowIs there a chance we could maybe change it to Music With Dynamic Timbre or something? No. Not really fond of the project title myself, but we have too much material with that name on it to change it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteo Xavier Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Oh, in that case, go right ahead. But seeing as how that's not an essential track, we may not wait for it if the project gets essentially finished by the time you complete it.

Rozovian Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 But seeing as how that's not an essential track, we may not wait for it if the project gets essentially finished by the time you complete it. Precisely. Knock yourself out, and we'll take it if it fits, and if it's done in time. And I doubt we're changing the name. It's a good name, references the day-night cycle of the game as well as the thematic good vs. evil thing it and most jrpgs have. I'm open to suggestions, I'd be a fool to ignore a better idea. Assuming anyone has an actually better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad.mixx Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 cool, i've got a half finished song. if it fits even as a bonus track, that'd be nice. i've been wanting to do something for this for a long time, but without a computer it's been difficult. at least i got an extra theme : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteo Xavier Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I got an updated demo from Usa on the last track yesterday. He's having trouble with it (naturally, something about this one track is just really difficult to arrange nicely) but work continues and I'll probably add some stuff to it later as well. Just letting you all know we ain't sleeping on the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad.mixx Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 i sent a demo of my thingy to rozovian.. i didn't know if the song would even meet the criteria so i sent it just in case. i can probably finish it before this weekend is up anyways, but didn't want to rush it if it couldn't make it to the project anyways. (im gonna finish it regardless though.. as a OCR track) i might just be overthinking things. i'm gonna try to get a little more done tonight and beat USA to the punch so it doesn't end up all by itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Got it, replied. I'm getting really excited about this thing finally coming together. This will be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak Eightman Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Roz, what was that mix you send me? Should I try to finish it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yes you should. I completely forgot about it. If you don't, we'll just use my version of it, so it's not something you _MUST_ do. It's just that what you've done with it has made it so much better, and I've really like to have your version on the album instead of just my own. For anyone wondering what we're talking about, I handed mak one of my remixes for this, and he's been improving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Usa's track is nearing completion. He sent me a new version today. I'd still like to add some things in there myself, but the song structure is complete as is much of the main meats, I'd just like to personally garnish it with some of my stuff (and Usa has agreed to let me do it). Almost done, guys, almost done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak Eightman Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Just sent Rozo's track back to Rozo. Hope he'll like it:smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Usa will have the track to me at the later part of this week. Good anyway since I was sick all weekend anyway. Good news on that, Mak. Thanks much. When this finishes up, I'm going to request some time to build up a proper plan for exposure and PR from the bigwigs. My plan to ask for contributions for others pittered out (which is fair), but I've got some alternatives and other help for that as well. Has a crawl to the finish line ever been so protracted in all of history? Maybe not, but we'll get there, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteo Xavier Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Usa's still busy, but he contacted me yesterday having made some progress on it. Yes, I know I've been saying "ALMOST!" for 5 pages now, but keep the faith and patience, brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 we've been saying "ALMOST!" for 5 years now FIFY. Next project I do (because no matter how frustrating this last stretch is, I will probably lead more projects) will be shorter. Much shorter. In every way. Even the abbreviation of the game will be shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteo Xavier Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 It's done! It's actually fucking done! Usa turned in a final .WAV today and no more changes are needed on it - meaning the project is now 100% complete in terms of tracks! We still need to get our shit together for everything else, and now I can start building an additional PR plan (which I will still bother some for help with, whether you like it or not, ) but the main point of the project is finally over! I'm actually so excited I want to post this on the main Community page. Do you think they would let me? I want to start building some buzz and hype for it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
