AngelCityOutlaw Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Another question for whoever in charge of this project sees it first: In terms of "epic" songs, how do I know if what I'm working on will be epic enough? I listened to all of the examples, but how exactly are we gauging the epic scale? Like, on a scale of 1 to Two Steps From Hell, where should I be sitting at?

Chernabogue Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Everything that sounds like "OMG dis gon' be good" Depends on the style and genre. We can help and give tips if you send a WiP in for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few people lined up to make this thing really badass; live bass player etc. So before we start going balls out and recording all this stuff, I could send you a MIDI that you can play back with Fruity LCD and tell me if you think the composition is badass enough so far.

Yes, be sure to have us okay with the arrangement before recording, because if you need to re-work the arrangement, it'll be more difficult for you.

Chernabogue Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Quick update: I'll be very busy for like 9-10 days, so don't expect feedback from me before at least Nov 27. Keep working on your tracks, Eino and Pieter are still around if you need tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRiderX Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I sent you guys a WIP for Dark Samus' Corruption theme. Looking forward to joining this album project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavos Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hey guys, an important update: FORUMS: http://badass3.proboards.com/ Yeah, I'm swamped in PM's and since OCR's not really fast with giving us official status, I made our own forums. Nothing fancy, but it'll do the job. It's private (login before you can see the forums and I must approve everybody), so no worries there. Please, everyone that is part of this project, make an account there and post your WiP there for feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 What is taking so long to get our forums at OCR? I mean, it's not like BA3 is a whole new concept and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 What is taking so long to get our forums at OCR? I mean, it's not like BA3 is a whole new concept and all. More staffers needed maybe.

Brandon Strader Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 FF3 still has no forums too, and it predates this by a year. Then people wonder why I'm so bitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 So Argle says he's down for doing the Middle Eastern instruments on this Prince of Persia track I want to do. Haven't had much time to work on it sadly...however, in the next couple weeks I'm upgrading my PC entirely (yay for awesome black friday sales!) and have some days off that I can dedicate to nothing but music and trying to win the heart of this sweet European girl who works in the same building as me. I'm thinking instead of doing WIPs, since most of this will be done with virtual instruments and my guitar, I'll just send you guys a totally finished track and then we can tweak the details as need be from there. I think it would be more reliable and probably faster than me sending you all a wip and then work or something gets in the way and I leave ya hanging for a while and possibly miss a deadline. It would also prevent my habit of remaking things and changing my WIP a million times before I finally have an arrangement I'm satisfied with.

That's fine, but you won't get access to the forums or have a claim if you don't send in WIPs. Just so you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argle Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 How is it that there are other claims with no WIP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavos Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 I could add you guys to the front page, but remember that no WIP is no claim. About the others: Brandon had a special arrangement since I know he can deliver within a real short period of time and because he functions best that way. I thought a while about this (about its 'fairness') but I decided it this way. neshead has shown me something on YouTube, but that's not technically an official wip, since it was done before this project started. And mak and Cherna just have to fear their source if someone else beats them to it On second thought, it might be better to take them off the main page, for clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelCityOutlaw Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The way I look at it is if we do this boss theme, it turns out good but someone else beat us to the official claim, it's really not a huge deal because we can still submit it to OCR and it will (theoretically) wind up on the front page one day in the distant future anyway.

Orangedragan Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I would kill to be involved in this album! If anyone needs a bari/bass voice for a mix, please contact me! I have plenty of examples of my voice for anyone that would like to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavos Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Slowly but surely more mixers are joining the album and we even got our first completed mix by Lashmush! And damn, it's good! Or Bad... eh... whatever, it ROCKS. Remember that many of you need to give me an update this month, so I'll be spamming you for updates. And also remember that we won't be postponing this album for mixes that are not finished yet, so you better have a good reason if you can't show us anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnWake Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have a very cool idea for this but I haven't even had time to begin... What is the cutoff date to apply? Other than December 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavos Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have a very cool idea for this but I haven't even had time to begin... What is the cutoff date to apply? Other than December 2014 That's a difficult question. If someone sends me a perfect 100% done direct-post-quality mix on November 30th, I'll gladly accept it of course. But I'll give you the same deadline as I gave Brandon (to keep the consistancy): from August I'll only accept mixes that are practically done, so probably from March I'll only accept mixes that are substantial (no 30 seconds-long proof of concept, but rather 2 minute WIP with an almost complete arrangement).

Lashmush Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Oh boy, one out of two! Only Lavos left now and I've contributed my final Badass submission since the first project! :3 Edit: Oh yeah, I'd like to make a new authors note about Monolith of Non-Existence whenever you need those. The old one does not do all my maddeningly excessive work justice. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
