tiger childJoined: May 31 2012 |
i dont see why there should even be a vote next time? N64 was right there. i say do that. i still wish Genesis was the theme. and yes for deadlines. the more consistency and structure you have that people get used to and understand this is how it works, i think the more consistent the product will be. if you just make things open ended and really loose and free, people forget about things, or take it for granted. so yeah, just no FF for at least the next 2 albums. keep things interesting. i'm going to put my name next to Balamb Garden for now.

Well i chose "Platform Games" because of the many games of that kind on the N64 (Marios, Kirby, Yoshi, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong, Bomberman...) but also some classics like Mega Man, Donkey Kong Country, sonic...

I'm myself a pretty decent procrastinator. Don't give me a deadline and I won't finish anything. Oh, and I totally volunteer for that choir thing!

I would love to do a cover of "the man with the machine gun" :) I did "Maybe I'm a Lion" for the Boss Battle Album, so it could be great if someone else do a new version^^ Depend if there is a lot of people working in this album (and if there is some tracks available), I can do another one if it is possible.

if you're going to be trying
tiger childJoined: May 31 2012 |
if you're going to be trying to get more/new people involved, wouldn't it be best to only allow people to pick one song right away. the more options there are available - particularly tracks that are considered favorites, seems like it would encourage people to join in. but if individuals are claiming 2-3 songs before you even tell new people about it, that seems much less welcoming. "hey please come and join our cover album! take the leftovers because all these people have claimed multiple songs!" and then, if new people don't join in - or after a certain amount of time from the start date (maybe a month?) then second tracks can be claimed. just a few thoughts, anyway.

I think 3 months deadline is too long. 2 months will be great. If all deadlines are 2 months, we will have 6 albums per year. =P I will choose some FF8 music I'm interested in and return soon. I need to improve a lot, I have seen some of my covers, and the quality leaves much to be desired. I will try to push myself more. I am anxious and this pain for me trying to do the things in a hurry.

it's fine letting people on
tiger childJoined: May 31 2012 |
it's fine letting people on the forum choose their initial track first. which would hopefully encourage the new people getting involved to become active members of the site going forward if they are interested in that kind of community and participation. i think locking 2 + an additional collaboration is 2 songs too many to start. most people here could sit down and record covers of multiple songs if they wanted, but if they are choosing a bunch straight away, then often people are looking forward to getting to the next track rather than really putting their full focus and attention on one. i think an album with less tracks, but higher quality and more thoroughly conceived of ideas and arrangements is infinitely better than simply a longer play-time. i also think the idea of people coming in with tracks already completed before the album even was proposed is unnecessary and should be avoided. especially when those people want to then immediately start on song #2 for themselves. i might sound like kind of an asshole about these things and like i'm taking the wind out of the sails of people who are already planning on recording 4 tracks, however, i just think putting fairly strict limitations on things (at least to begin) is the best way to do something. that way everyone has one thing they are all trying to achieve. record/arrange the best cover of a single song possible. it gives more time for new people to get involved with a greater number of available songs. then as time goes on, when it's clear that the amount of people working on tracks is pretty settled, second/third tracks become available to do. additionally, it should raise the overall quality of the albums. i have other thoughts, probably. i hope nothing i said is misconstrued as anything specific towards any specific person. it isn't at all. these are just things that are swimming around when i consider this topic.

1 lock rule sounds fine,
BigHeadClanJoined: Jan 20 2012 |
1 lock rule sounds fine, Tiger has a valid point won't be totally fair to try and bring people in at the end of a project! But if we still lack people after a given time (say 1 month for example) we should return to the usual format. |
Re: 1 lock rule sounds fine,
tiger childJoined: May 31 2012 |
yeah. that's kind of what i'm saying. 3 months is a long enough amount of time, that if you designate the first month to just being locked in on only one song each, that gives enough time to see how the roster is filling out and how much is left. it's unlikely there would be a huge influx of participants after that first month, unless you are able to tap into some cyber artery pumping away of people who want to do covers. and then after that first month, allow people to pick a second song if they are finished with their first and so on. forgive me, i'm just not a fan of the "i'm laying claim to 3-4 songs from the outset" mentality. i don't even know why i'm saying all these things, i dont really like to do covers! i guess i'm just interested in the product being the most interesting and highest quality possible. and the process to gaining new entrants and talent seems like it would be better suited to a few more formalities from the beginning, allowing a little bit of an opportunity for people to not only find out about it, and become interested in joining, but not feeling as though everything they might want to do is taken up by only a few people. annnd that is all i'll add to this. good luck everyone! make wonderful music!

Hmmm... a bi/tri-monthly Arrange Album, a monthly Mini Album, and a bi/tri-weekly Tune Contest. That seems like a lot and they all clash with one another. |

Re: Why do you think they "clash"
Lloyde_SorrowJoined: May 16 2014 |
Well, the tune contest will happen one to two times a month (more like one since there is almost always a lengthy extension xD), then you have the mini album happening every month and then the arrange album every two to three months. The tune contest and mini album will always be occur around the same time since they both occur within a months time. Those two will overlap with the arrange album each time it comes around. Each one is going to pull for attention. People will be forced to choose 1 or 2 out of 3 or participate in them all, assuming they will participate at all. If they do more than one at a time, that is bound to affect the quality of what they produce because they have to focus on more than one song and deadline, which is not what anyone wants, except the individuals rival, if they have one. If they choose to do one, then that's less entrants for whatever they choose not to do. That's more of a problem for the Tune Contests since barely anyone participates in those. |

sometimes the tune contests
tiger childJoined: May 31 2012 |
sometimes the tune contests get more entries than just the regulars. and it would be nice to have more people involved. i can see lloyd's point about the monthly contest taking away possible participation, or somehow lowering the quality of the things people do, in order to try to do more. of course there is always the possibility that having more activity in general can bring around more members to the site and lead to more people getting involved in other aspects - not just the cover things. it's tough to really make a call on this right now. specifically regarding the Tune Contest, i think it could go either way - being helpful or a negative. i'd like to see more people get excited about writing their own original music and pushing them to try that, rather than a constant stream of cover albums. but that's just me. i'm sure there is a way everything can not only coexist, but hopefully flourish and grow. it's simply about finding the right balance.

epicanthicLocation: Hong Kong Joined: May 08 2012 |
I think forcing people to have a gametabs account isn't a good idea, because that might push some away. Even if they did join, there's no guarantee that they'd actually engage with the community - there're plenty of people (me included, to an extent) that have accounts here but rarely ever post anything. We should keep it keep it open so people who are interested can enter and find out more about the site in their own time, just my opinion though. |

Wow so many things to say :D
ABOUT THE BOSS BATTLE ALBUM
So, only few days before the end of the deadline, i know i'll get some songs a bit late (around the 4th-5th June) but it's not a problem :)
Lord Bif and his girlfriend are going to make a Cover-Art for the Album, based on a idea i had.
He will also make a decent (cause the last one i did were bad) Video Trailer to make people download the album. I hope many people will download it and put it on their personal channel or page.
This is going to be a 2CD Album, with more than 30 songs. BigHeadClan will do the mastering and i'll chose the order of the songs. I'll try to make a balance between: songs quality, game series, guitarists, music style...
I'll put the album on Mediafire as usual (so i can check the number of downloads) :D
A Bandcamp would have been better but it only allows a few numbers of free downloads and i don't want anyone to pay money for this.
This album is going to be more Metal but really good with some killer tracks =)
I think it's all i had to say about the BOSS BATTLE ALBUM ^^
GAMETABS ALBUM #5: FINAL FANTASY VIII
Yeaaah FF8 won :D (with 5-6 votes more than N64)
Here is the complete OST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6kAwpgW29M You can already pick some songs so i'll add them to a list so other people won't cover it too.
As usual you can use ONE Joker song from 2014 (NOT older).
There are many style of music in this OST, Metal, Classical, Blusy, Jazzy, Relaxing, Solo Piano or Guitar etc.
I won't fix a deadline yet, let's finish the BOSS BATTLE ALBUM 1st.
If you have any questions, idea, suggestions, tell me =)
GAMETABS ALBUM #6: PLATFORM GAMES
Already? No vote?
Well, we did a Zelda album (J-RPG), then the Boss Battle Album (most of the songs are from J-RPG) and we will do the FFVIII album (J-RPG).
so i decided to take a break from RPG musics and give some love to Mario, Donkey Kong, Mega Man, Kirby, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Rayman, Sonic, Banjo & Kazooie etc.
Same rules as usual blablabla.
But about the deadlines.
What do you think ? Wanna do those albums at the same time, with longer deadline or no deadline at all (just keep on until we got enough songs and then make a call "does someone need some extra weeks for a song") or do the FF8 Album with a 3 month deadline, then this one with a 3 month deadline ?
anyway thank for reading, please give me your opinions :)
