I need someone with past experience on working with OCR and with the final production of a project, as I have only limited experience in this area. *POSITION FILLED* *Arrangers/Remixers to conceptualize and complete remixes. This is where the bulk of the work will be. Brand new or experienced veteran, anybody who would like to take part is welcome. Voice Actors to bring life to the characters in our audio narratives. If you think your voice would be perfect for one of the available roles, drop us a PM or email! Performers who are experienced with any type of instrument and have a high-quality recording setup. Sometimes live is better, so anyone willing to lend a hand to a fellow musician short an instrument or skill would be appreciated. Sound Designers/Audio Support interested in mixing and sound design for the project. Ideally, we would like folks who are willing to provide support and/or collaboration with Remixers who are new or inexperienced at mixing. Mastering Support for bringing the final WAVs into coherency and giving the final touches to tracks before final submission. I have no experience mastering and so I'm asking for someone(s) who is(are) willing to dedicate a little time (okay, a lot of time) to help us get the album through one of the final hurdles. *POSITION FILLED* Anyone who is interested in helping in any one of these areas, please let me know. --ALBUM CONCEPT— First, a special 4-Arwing salute goes to Thomas Neil, who originally came up with the idea of building a Star Fox album in time for Star Fox’s 25th anniversary. He would have been the director for this project, but life became more complicated for him, so he was unable to give the project the commitment he thought it deserved. I thought it would be a shame if this one-only timing for the album fell apart, so I volunteered to bring his idea to light. I have always believed that Star Fox is the flight simulator for everyone who doesn’t like flight simulators. I remember playing the first game, years ago, and being fascinated with the SUPER HIGH TECH 3D POLYGON GRAPHICS, the ‘smooth’ play control, and the choice of different routes to take to reach the final goal, depending on the difficulty chosen. I’ve played other flight simulators, but none have given me the same thrill as Star Fox. Seven games and almost 25 years later, Star Fox has become a respected Nintendo franchise. We had a goal to put together a two disc set of 14-17 songs per disc, featuring a showcase of what we would hear flying around as Fox McCloud. Due to my own life complications, this project timeline was extended past the point where we could release it before Star Fox's actual 25th anniversary of release; now, instead of simply a tribute, we are focusing on the concept of the narratives and music: To celebrate the Star Fox series, we are putting together a tour of the Lylat System from Corneria to Venom to give this Solar System a little bit of the Star Fox experience, All tracks from all games are open and there are no genre restrictions. The deal for the album concept is one track per area on a course between Corneria and Venom. One exception to this is tracks from Star Fox Adventures. A maximum two tracks can be claimed from this game, as I don’t want the listener to spend too much time on Sauria; that being said, if we get more, we may accept them as bonus tracks. --AUDIO TRACKS-- To add a little spice to our journey through the Lylat System, we have put together a series of audio tracks throughout the album to guide our listeners a little closer to the Star Fox experience. We are gathering talented voice actors to play the main characters from Star Fox as they fly through the Lylat System, growing closer to the final goal of reaching Venom to battle Andross. If you're interested in voicing a character, let us know!

TheChargingRhino Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 IT GOT GREEN LIT. YES. Can it be just "remake" of tracks or do they have to be remixed to a certain extent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nikanoru Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 All tracks must be arrangements or remixes. How conservative you are with the source material may be negotiated, but we would like to hear a little of the Remixer in each track, if you get my meaning.

The Nikanoru Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Don't worry, you can claim the track now if you want and send a WIP later. You have time to consider and build your skills. If you need some help or guidance, we can help you or point you in the direction of someone who can.

TheChargingRhino Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I claim Corneria and the Ending Credits. (Staff Roll). As proof I know the harmony, here it is. F4, C5, G5, F5, C5 E4, B4, E5, F5. Also claim Records 1, Select and Controls from SF2, 64, and the original, respectfully. I plan to make a mix of those three tracks.....have to come up with a title, though.....I mean, I guess I can use "Cornerian Hall of Fame"....

TheChargingRhino Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Corneria's title shall be either "McCloud is Back in Town" or "SCRAMBLE" EDIT-I shall stop asking questions and spamming inboxes for a while after this- If the square/first instrument in Darkwing's Mix Godspeed is first, and several instruments join in, but the "Hits" don't come in until around 2 minutes, would that be alright? I'll post something here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nikanoru Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Okay, thread has been reset with the new info. Sorry for the confusion @classic_gamer_76, you have submitted a WIP - but it still needs a name! On 9/30/2016 at 7:13 PM, TheChargingRhino said: SCRAMBLE! SCRAMBLE! SCRAMBLE! SCRAMBLE! Hmmm. Not sure this is at the level where you can 'drop the mic,' but very interesting. On 10/1/2016 at 3:21 PM, DS394 said: I guess I can claim Sector X as I already have the WIP of it. Done. Send me your WIP! On 10/1/2016 at 3:21 PM, DS394 said: Errrm... I kinda wanted to claim Corneria, but my track is pretty short tho: I like it, as I'm always down for a little cello action, but lonely ... and short. --- So, I've been thinking about this Corneria thing, as it's the most popular track in the Star Fox series and I'm only choosing one to be featured (bonus tracks still possible!). Well, this weekend, a friend of mine suggested that since it's so popular, why don't we make this into one big collaboration? Tell me what you all think.

classic_gamer_76 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I think a Corneria collaboration is the best way to go. Great idea! @TheChargingRhino -- Really like the ideas you have for that (first) Corneria mix. However, just like The 'Boss' Nikanoru said, there's still quite a lot to do. I'd be very glad to help you on that one actually, since it's already pretty inspiring -- throw a couple more ideas in this WIP. I could even manage to get proper guitar recordings too! @The Nikanoru -- Haven't thought of a name just yet. I usually give my mixes a name when they're close to be finished. I'm experimenting stuff right now and would like to have a talk with you when I'll have another WIP ready so I can share my vision of where I want to go with this track and see if it could still have its place within this album. Also, it would be great to have a list of the performers available for collaboration in the first post -- near the current tracklist ^^ DS394, The Nikanoru and TheChargingRhino 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have added 'current performers' to the top of the thread under staff. Anyone else who is interested, let me know. I've also put myself down for Titania. from Star Fox SNES. It's a weird one and no idea what I'm going to come up with, but a drumbeat and some deep, dark, dirty, distorted guitar has been running around in my head for a while now...

Cole Train Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Maybe I'm feeling inspired by Matt Houston's beat, but I want to try my hands at a rap remix of the Sauria level from Assault. I'm no [good] producer though, so my claim is pretty tentative honestly. DS394 and TheChargingRhino 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I've always wanted to try producing a rap beat, so maybe if you make some fire lyrics we could put something together (BTW here's an example of a rap beat I've made before even if its purpose is a bit cheesy, but if I could put produce something more legit and put some rap-style piano thing like this behind it and just edit it a bit, this could be pretty dope.

The Nikanoru Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 @Cole Train@DS394, this track is claimed. I've heard the examples, and I'm very curious to see what you guys come up with! 7 tracks, we're off to a good start! I'm starting to get a little clarity on where I want the concept to go, so I'll be hammering out a set tracklist for the two discs later this week. Stay tuned!
