T-T.

Anyone care to help me out?

I'll take a listen to the track at some point this week and see if I can figure out the scale and what not with my midi keyboard. I assume you're needing the scale?

pretty much. Kinda surprised there's no Midi yet...Let's see what you can do. 

[DS394]

I mean, I've basically got perfect pitch, so if I listened to the track I could get the notes down accurately and send them in a MIDI to you

[HankTheSpankTankJankerson]

My work computer won't open a midi file, so I have to ask:  is THIS it?

No. That's Phantron Phase 2.

Thanks for looking, though.

Dang, sorry.

Made good progress with my track last night. Was struggling with artist block and whipped out my keyboard and managed to improvise some patterns more in line with what I was wanting.

What I'm struggling with right now, production wise, is making a good supersaw for my chord progressions. The problem I'm running into is I'm trying to get something like this or this, but my synths either sound too sharp like some sort of trance lead, or end up being too dull and lose their effect. I'm not sure where the balance lies, but I'm sure I'm going to feel real dumb once it is figured out. Not sure if it's messing with the harmonics or just really good EQ'ing. I'm getting closer, but I could use a hand if anyone has some experience with sawtooths.

Other then that, Macbeth is coming along!

[The Nikanoru]

@Starphoenix's Diving into the Deep Green Abyss is the closest to completion so far and that Macbeth track of his is sounding pretty wild so far!

Hopefully @TheChargingRhino will have something to work with soon for the Andross remix. And yes, I'm sorry I don't have the voice-over done yet - stomach bugs are not conducive to concentration - but I have something in mind and will record something this week to post here. If someone is willing to provide me with the 'Tunnel' theme, then I'll have something to put behind it... hint hint ...

I'd just like to remind everyone that it's about six weeks to the first check-in.

@DS394 and I will start contacting folks who haven't submitted a WIP yet sometime in December. We're not asking for much (even 20 seconds of track is still a WIP), just something to give us an indication of where you are and where you're taking the track. Please respond before January 1st so we know where you're at!

If you have submitted a WIP already, thank you! We'll probably ask what's going on, but nothing additional will be required at this time. If you have a new WIP to give us at the time, great!

I know it seems early to remind everyone, but everyone needs to keep in mind that the timeline is still moving towards completion. If folks are feeling the pressure and nervous about having something together by the end of the year, we have lots of folks willing to help out!

....Uuuuhhh....I kinda need a Midi to do anything....

Which I don't have, since the site that I use doesn't see to have a version....

sooo.....

 

I'm thinking of doing a note by note rendition of "Tunnels/ the introduction part, then have it lead into that deep pad note, then go from there.

If I could just get that Midi....that's be great. 

[TheChargingRhino]

Working on another version of Corneria. It can be a bonus track, but it sounds pretty cool. I'll post it here or in that message thing when it's complete. Or somewhat.

Still haven't decided if I'm gonna do just the boss roll or the whole SHA-BANG.

Boss roll AND the actual credits.

...I'm gonna do orchestral. 

You know what? I'll just do a different "original" version, and we'll go from there. 

[The Nikanoru]

@DS394 and @Starphoenix - Were you able to find some MIDI or transpose the Tunnels theme / Andross for @TheChargingRhino yet?

[TheChargingRhino]

Tunnels is basically the same as the introduction piece where the carrier is heading towards Corneria and that ship flies straight at the screen, except it doesn't have that sudden crescendo at the end, and instead keeps on looping. 

I have the "Tunnels" Midi. 

[M_Blacki]

Sorry for being busy right and and not looking it up, but someone was looking for the andross midi. Is this it?

Apologies if linking is a problem.

[The Nikanoru]

Actually, that's the MP3 for the track we need the MIDI for. Thanks though!

Haven't really had a chance to the past couple of evenings, and tonight I was at a Bible study most of the night. I'll probably be working on more music stuff Friday, so I'll see what I can do around that time.

Posting this as personal motivation!
Here is the conceptual bit for my rearrangement of Meteo - mixed meter, fusion.  I came up with it over the course of several hot showers.  If you like it and think you need some help with your track, let me know and I would be glad to take a listen to what you have done.

Cheers, y'all.  Here's to getting this album done.

[TheChargingRhino]

....Thanks for reminding me that I have to start on my Meteor mix from the first game...thanks, Hank.

Sounds pretty sweet! I really enjoy what you're doing with this arrangement so far. 'Course it will probably be even better once the instrumentation is in place. lol

Yeah dude, we are going to record every single part.  It can't function otherwise.  This was meant to be heard with live instruments.

[TheChargingRhino]

For every single track? But what about synths and stuff?

By the way, I have a pretty cool Sequenced Analog thing on my Portable Grand DGX-505 8 octave Yamaha keyboard that we can use for synths...

Yeah we live record the synths too.  We are fortunate enough to have a fully functional studio.  We usually select our own digital synths and pads, after that, we determine what needs to be recorded (pads really dont need any humanization) and then lay down saxes and drum set and bass guitar.  It really depends on the importance of the part.  Like if its just groove drum set, then we can record it last, but if the fills are really involved (which they usually are) then it will get bumped up in priority.
