Foxhull Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 just so you all know and are warned, one of my friends recently told me i was a bit obsessive with things that i put work into, so it would take a lot to make me let this go once some of the projects are closer to being completed, such as project chaos, summoning of spirits and milkyway wishes are done, we should be able to put together a tentative timeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koelsch1 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I still dont understand how this "super mix" thing is going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vagrance Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The simplest way of putting it: Have you ever heard a DJ Mix? If not, download one, and hear how it sounds, the "super mix" is essentially going to be a DJ mix full of remixes from the project. If you don't get it, then just wait until it comes out.

prophetik music Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The simplest way of putting it:Have you ever heard a DJ Mix? If not, download one, and hear how it sounds, the "super mix" is essentially going to be a DJ mix full of remixes from the project. If you don't get it, then just wait until it comes out. the main problem with this is going to be going between the various styles that you'll have on this project. megamixes work because the songs all have a pretty similar style and speed to them. how are you going to compensate between, say, a classical piece at 72 bpm and a techno rock piece at 158 bpm?

Check the first post to get the details on the "supermix" idea. For however many styles/genres are covered that's how many 'supermixes' there will be. So for instance with the WIP's we got going right now there will defiantly be an orchestral supermix. The super mixes will be done after all the remixes are done.

The Vagrance Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 The super mix thing aside though, we still plan to make this a quality site project that many people can enjoy and that keeps the quality that OCR is known for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxhull Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 ok just a few updates, such as a beginning of a tracklist map in the main post under WIP progress, the official title is up,(Remix is actually Rearrangement, i was running low on allowed characters in the heading), and a shameless bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHz Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 You should really check that tracklist... Really, CC's is the most accurate you'll find.Especially track 2-04: it's October Mermaid. Kind of a significant difference. actually, everywhere i have checked it is june mermaid Unfortunately, that's what happens when the mistranslation comes first. The wrong information gets spread around. Here's a portion of the back cover of the album: 神無月の人魚 Kaminazuki no Ningyo October Mermaid "June Mermaid" would be 水無月の人魚, or "Minazuki no Ningyo." Rather similar, if you notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vagrance Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Big ups to CHz, I guess it is really October Mermaid, makes a lot less sense but then again it sounds like one of those other song titles that makes no sense, like "Building Steam With a Grain of Salt" or "Flaming June".

avaris Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 looks like djp might have to change some titles of source tunes, of course i think the dude is nusy enough with other stuff, thanks CHz, maybe Foxhull can call his track October Mermaid for shits n giggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hey guys I got a certain "demo" of a certain song, I need you guys to go and check out on our forums to see if you dudes are feeling the "concept" i got goin for it. Leave comments for it on our forums and not this topic. Gotta give a shout out to Doomsday for some wicked good progress on his WIP so far. Also if anyone in general hasn't checked out Siamey's Pirates mix in the wip: other section. It's pure goodness. http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=86052&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent a PM to rpggamer180(Foxhull) about it. As a remixer you def got potential. We'll get back to you on it soon. There are def some good arrangement ideas on that Bonds mix.

Speaking of the Bonds mix...update? I'm currently fighting a battle for ideal volume and making everything just sound better. It's kind of annoying that I have like 4 levels of volume adjusting nonsense (I'm trying to remaster everything softer so I have a wider dynamic range, pain in the butt. Plus knowing where the velocities need to be to achieve X volume level... The most annoying part is the varying volumes at which the samples were recorded.) It was Zirc's suggestion though, so I have faith that what I'm doing is gonna turn out good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avaris Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Minimum: 20 Tracks Maximum: 30 Tracks There will be a ratio of, at maximum, 60% of the tracks on one disc and 40% on the other. OMG you mean we don't have to remix every single song, that'd be around 50 in total. Haha, well I was curious as to what the final number would be. It's a more realistic goal to do this number of tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxhull Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 ok i found a couple websites with in depth help on orchestration and posted them on the private forums, so anyone who is doing an orchestral mix, go check it out! Also some more updates to my WIP, in the form of an update to my last poste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I got another website for orchestrations that's really good, but it's a very long read. I'll have to add it to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avaris Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Aight guys just wanted to make an announcement. I asked Tyler Humphrey an old buddy of mine from high school if he wanted to do a mix for the project. The past few years I've played piano with him on occassion and omg... He would take my simple 20 sec melodies and turn them into full blown piano solo pieces right on the spot. Granted if you know music theory well enough and have the chops to play the piano that well it's easy. Of course how many us can say that... Well anyways he chose to do graaf emperor of darkness as a piano solo. He is not an OCR member, but I gave him the link here so if he stops by that's great. Whatever he does, all u guys need to know is there is a kick ass piano mix of Graaf's song on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
