The Bvg Collab 2008-01-04 09:10:28


Permission to collab is provided by Rucklo.

This is a collab that centers around audio. I share leadership with WritersBlock.
For some details see his userpage.
More details are below.
In addition to what was posted on WritersBlock's post on the Collab, we will also be making video game remixes of Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario, and Megaman games. WritersBlock and I share leadership of the Sonic music, WritersBlock has leadership over the Mario music and I have leadership over Megaman. In addition to music we will be featuring Sprite and Web comics, Neat information on the three video game icons and their games, and some other things.
Mizox will be contributing indirectly by providing third party audio and web comics.
Everything will be original.
A member list is provided below at the bottom of this post.
Everything will be smacked up into a flash movie.

Rules:
1. No spam. This is a given--the BBS rules is still valid here.
2. Relate to the collab. Any post here must in someway be relevant to this collab.
3. You just can't join. If you wish to join this collab, you must PM either me, or WritersBlock, you must provide a reason why you desire a part in this collab, you must show a sample of your music, Web/Sprite Comic, FYI or otherwise. Afterwards, wait for a response.
4. You can't contribute already submitted work. Everything here should be fresh and new, audio portal included. Don't submit your contribution of music to the audio portal until the flash is finished and ready to be submitted.
5. Exchange of music should be done via email or downloadable link. When giving your music to me, you must email it to me.
My email is knux_treme89@yahoo.com. Send it there. An alternative method is to send it via downloadable link, perhaps with a myspace music aritst account, this is the safest alternative method. Use a method that is safe, I won't click on any link I don't trust.
6. No copywrited material. Although we are doing remixes, the original song(s) are prohibited from being contrubuted. We have a guardian angel watching this collab, his name is Rucklo. If any abuse is found, he will be contacted and you will be dealt with. there is only 1 strike for this rule, so be very, very careful to avoid making this mistake, asuming it is a mistake at all.
7. No crap. It is encouraged to do your best, if your skill is not up to snuff or you don't think it's up to snuff, then your time is better spent practicing instead of trying to contribute. Do not contribute deliberate crap. Your skill as an artist, either it be music, web comic, etc. will be reviewed. If you are known for submitting bad material just for the attention or otherwise, our guardian angel will be summoned to relieve you from this collab.
8. Everything will be rated. Any contribution requires a rating of 3 stars to 5, first by you, the contributer, and then by the leaders. This is relevant to making the flash
9. Trying to smartass your way around these rules will also result in our guardian angel smiting you.
There, now that the hard part is done.
The members list is currently as follows.
Name//Job
Knuxrouge//Leader, Musician, Sprite Comic, FYI, Sonic & Megaman Administrator
WritersBlock//Leader, Musician, Sonic & Mario Administrator
Mizox//VIP, Musician, Web Comic, FYI

To start things off, I have finished a Volcano Valley remix from Sonic 3D Blast.
I am currently working on a Frog Forest remix from Sonic Heroes.

Hey, 'bout time I posted here. I've only just got back from holidays, so, sorry for making everyone wait. I'm going through the newspage comments, and inbox messages and this thread as I write this.
The only sample I've heard is from SBB, of course I want you to be a part of this!

I agree with knuxrouge's comments thus far, I'll be happy rating your songs as he does, but I'm going to be tough, I'll probably do some full analysis of your stuff. The way I see this collab, if you submit crap, I'll be willing to give you another chance, but I'll give you some advice that I want you to follow, and if you stuff up again, that'll be it. Also, if a song is decent, but there's room for improvement, I'd like to see the composer go back and work on it a bit. Now, I'd like other members here to do the same thing with me. Pretty much, just think before you post the link "is this as good as it could be?"

It's good to see some experience in this collab, so I think we could pull this off. To the inexperienced musicians, I don't want to scare you away by the above paragraph, so if you post something, and link here for some tips, that's fine with me. Also, if you've got any other questions, feel free to ask here or post on my news page, or PM me.

Cheers, good luck guys. I think I'll christen my keyboard/guitar pedal with a classic VG recording.

Hey, that looks pretty good!

I think we should take note on what people are attempting so that we don't get a whole pile of "mario overworld themes" and very little variety.

I've thought about doing a giant robotnik medley, but I'm not now. I'm also thinking we should add a time restriction or filesize restriction, because if we get a lot of audio then the filesize for the flash might get a bit too much.

I'm thinking of doing a big drum and bass menu track, with a bit of sonic, a bit of mario and a bit of megaman along with a whole lot of my stuff. The themes will be sprinkled throughout, and subtle, a bit of a teaser for the main audio. Sound good?

If we make too much of something.. I wouldn't consider that a bad thing... we'd just have to separate it into parts.

WB has a point, I do expect the file size to be pretty damn big, so I want the first 10 members to make from 3 to 5 songs, the remaining can do 1 to 3. As for size, file compression can take care of that in the flash, but legnth...I never thought about that.

Everything will have its own category with its own sub category
Music > {All, Browse by Game{Sonic, Mario, Megaman }, Browse by Artist {insert audio contributors here}}
Comic > All, Web Comic ( > Browse by Game, Browse by Artist}, Sprite Comic ( > Browse by Game, Browse by Artist}
Can't Wiki this Shit (FYI) > All, Browse by Game, Browse by Contributor

I hope that made sense.

You noticed the selection known as "Can't Wiki this Shit", well thats the FYI section, I want our info to dodge the eyes of Wikipedia.
Look for glitches, behind the scenes info, make sure its not on wiki and Pm it to me. If we can't pull it off then we will have no choice but to improvise.

In any case I want to make an orchestra remix of live and learn. That will be awesome.
I also want to compose a remix of the Super Mario 64 File select music, I always enjoyed that--or the water level tune.
Lastly, I have been thinking of an original song of a Sonic stage with a jungle theme to it.
In due time...

I can take care of AS. To keep flash small we'll just need to stream audio from NGAP directly. And we won't have to compress the music.

I appreciate the help, but I have the flash covered, if we stream it, then we have to extent the frames. We will set it to Event, I know enough AS to hold my own, but if I get lost, I will definitely contact you.
If the file size is too big, then I'll contact Tom, I'm sure he'll appreciate our efforts and put it in anyway.

That's not what I meant. I meant make a flash without packing mp3s into it. You can stream (download) mp3 files from NGAP directly while the flash is working (like they stream movies on youtube).

So the flash file itself wouldn't contain any mp3s - keeping it small, just as it should be. You wouldn't have to put any limits on mp3 file size as well. And no compressing. Just benefits ;)

Ah, I see, that sounds like a keen idea, go on.

I think I already said everything, but whatever.

Well, a good example is the player used to play audio on AP - it doesn't contain mp3s in it, it just downloads them when running. That player itself is probably no bigger than 150kb.

Action script allows you to download and play mp3 and m3u files from anywhere. You can even play internet radio with that. You can start playing back mp3 when it's still being downloaded, which is quite comfortable.

Ok, now that sounds like a good idea.

I've had a big set back, I don't know what went on, but I've lost everything I worked on yesterday. It might have been the guitar recording that stuffed it, so I'm gonna have to start again. No matter, it could have been a lot better.

I might just go for an original VG medley type thing instead. Either way, I want to come up with something epic.
