News, WIPs, Unleashed Single, Side Projects, Ideas

Posted by Karco - June 20th, 2008


=================
______News______
=================

10-9-08: Long news post soon...

--

10-5-08: Nav made a second mix with a few of my tracks in it this time, check it out also - it's at the same link as the first mix. ;D

I've started a new collab with Nav as well! It's Jungle, I believe, which is quite a long way out of my comfort zone, but I did quite a lot of the starting work already so this may not be so hard for me, especially with his help. :D We're both quite busy these days but maybe you'll be able to expect that in the near future...

--

10-3-08: Nav posted his mix the other day, find it here! Some awesome tracks and transitions in there, even though I still have to finish the thing myself. :P

I seem to have hit a block on all of my WIPs. D: I'm probably going to have to take a full-on break for a while, until school and things clear up - but once they do, I'll have quite a lot of free time on my hands compared to before. ;D This means that, apart from the demo set which I'm going to try and submit this month, all submissions will be pushed back to November or possibly December. :(

Time for me to get some lunch. :O

--

10-1-08: Cleared the news section once again.

First thing, it might be possible for me to submit to this month's MAC! :D Hopefully I can finish Reasoner's remix in time and (with his permission) submit it. I'll have to work quickly, as I'll be insanely busy as the deadline approaches, namely with school. D:

In other news, I'm going to see if I can get a set of tracks I never finished in the same MP3, and submit them as a set of "previews." They're not really previews though, as I won't be finishing them - they're all projects that I can't open anymore now that I've got Nexus2. I've already got three files I want to put in, and I might want to finish the peak of the Instrumental #4 remix early so I can throw that in there as well. :D We'll see where it goes.

There's a small chance of really nice Sennheiser headphones in my future, I've got my fingers crossed. :)

Last thing - Nav's making a Trance mix and I'm not in it! >:(

Really, though, I don't mind, there are quite a few awesome tracks in there. I'll give him another plug once he puts it up somewhere.

=================
______WIPs______
=================

Instrumental #4 (Karco's See The Light Remix)
- Progress: 15% Done, 1:51 Finished, Intro
- Length: It'll be a full-length Trance track. No estimates yet.
- Submission Date: I'm estimating late September, but hopefully no later than early October. I've been very short on time lately, so this will take longer than my tracks over the summer did.
- Info: My first piano Trance song and a remix of Reasoner's great track! This could potentially blow you all away even more than the PoE remix did if everything goes to plan. So far, so good!
- Demo: Got one! IM me and I'll send it to you.

--

Untitled (Original Mix)
- Progress: 15% Done, Intro
- Length:
N/A, I intend for it to be a full-length track though.
- Submission Date: Also N/A, though I hope to have it done sometime in November depending on what kind of school workload I get. There's a chance this won't go to Newgrounds, as I plan on attempting to get this signed once it's finished.
- Info: This was originally an attempt at something a bit more progressive, though it's turning out to be more lively than I thought it would. I hope for it to be my first original track I'll be satisfied with since... well, never. :O And so far, it's coming along great. Check out Love Theme Dusk (Signalrunners Sunrise Mix) for a vague idea of what the song will be like. ;) As for the title, I've got a few neat ideas, but I'm going to wait before committing to anything. :)
- Demo: None yet, but ask on MSN and I'll send a clip.

--

Air Release (Karco Remix)
- Progress: 0% Done
- Length: N/A
- Submission Date: N/A
- Info: This song is so catchy, I decided I HAD to remix it. So, I will. :D I'm going to go for something really minimal and progressive - there's no one track that will give you an idea of what I'm aiming at, but if I find one, I'll link it here. :D No ideas yet, I'll be tinkering around in FL until I find a really good one to kick off from.
- Demo: N/A

Tracklist

Bold songs are finished.
Comments on each track are below the track in italics.

1. Unleashed (Radio Edit)
2. Unleashed (_______'s Club Mix)
- Since I can't access the project file anymore, I need someone (with FL8 Producer Edition, Nexus1, Nexus1's Dance Vol. 1 Expansion, VEC2, and VEC1) to make the club mix for me. Anyone up to it?
3. Unleashed (xKore Remix)
- The one that WAS on Newgrounds, but was removed. Awesome.
4. Unleashed (xKore Tech Remix)
- I'm using both, because they're both awesome. :P Find a one-minute preview here.
5. Unleashed (FlamingFirebolt's Chiptune Remake)
- This one's ALMOST finished, FlamingFirebolt just needs to fix a few problems.
6. Unleashed (Chilled Milkmix)
- Chilled Milk. XD This will be a Trance remix, to contrast with the many fast versions on the Single.
7. Unleashed (Pyroific Remix)
- No news on this one. I think it's about finished. :P
8. Unleashed (Mataro Remix)
- The production's pretty much finished. Due to so-so mixing, it might not get on the CD depending on what Nav can do in the Master.

Info

- Release Date: TBA
- Demo: If you want to hear the original version, scroll up and click on it. ;)
- Profits: I'll be trying to break even this time around and get $0 profit, so I don't have to worry about getting money to everyone, who gets how much of the profit, etc. I'm considering selling the CD for a profit, but some of the remixers use their sounds/sequencers illegally, and since this is only my first single, it might not be worth it. Thoughts?
- How to Get: I'll have people pre-order it starting a month in advance until a week in advance, and I'll start delivering the CDs on the release date - I won't take orders after the release date though, as I'm trying to break even with profits and orders after release would mess it up. I'm not sure if I'll take orders over the internet from people I don't know in real life, I'll have to see about that. The release date is as much as 4 months away if necessary, so I've got plenty of time to figure it all out.
- Mastering by Nav

News

Now that I've got this many tracks, I will NOT be taking any more remixes, I think I've got enough as is. Unless you've got something that really wows me more than any of these other remixes (some of which are really amazing, believe me), or is radically different from the other styles, it'll definitely be a no.

Remixers:
1) Try to get your tracks done before the end of October, which is not only a good amount of time to get everything together, but also a while in advance from the current release date - this gives Nav time for the master, and anyway I prefer to have everything together a while in advance just to be safe, in case I forget anything. ;)
2) Do NOT upload any of your remixes to Newgrounds or anywhere on the internet. Also, don't share them with more than one or two other people for criticism. We need to be careful that no tracks get leaked - the Radio Edit and xKore's first remix are already publicly available anyway (though xKore removed his later). ;)
3) Make sure you can access and make renders from your FLP later! Nav will need extra-high quality versions for the master, so save backups. ;)
4) Make high-quality versions of your tracks as soon as they're finished, in case you lose the FLP. Ask me or Nav for details.

If I've missed something or someone, let me know.

None currently!

______Ideas______
=================

I made this section so people could see ideas that I've got for future songs, that I haven't started yet - this way they could suggest for me which songs to work on first. Check back here now and then, I add ideas as soon as I come up with them. ;) If you see an idea here that you like, let me know!

- No ideas currently. I'll make an update when I add some!

WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAA Cant wait for PoE :D

Neither can I. :D

Seriously, make a news post so I can leave random comments and stuff on it. >:(

That underscore title isn't going to go well if it will start with a "Re" and then you have "Re"mix after it. Kind of sounds like your scratching =P

Most sons I've seen that are remixes are like (for example) Karco's Temple Mix; or Karco's Extended Mix.

I don't know, just putting a thought in your head =/

I don't see why the "Re" titles would be so bad, but I don't mind NOT using them... :P

Hmm, I already named a song Temple, and it isn't an extended version of the original. But thanks for the thoughts anyway. ;)

i want to delete my posts...
meh.. :(

What posts?

What about Karco's Ressuerction Remix or a generic Karco's Trance Remix. Also, OMFG90%""!!!!!1!1!

Resurrection sounds kinda long-winded to me, I'd rather have someting catchier. If I can't think of anything I'll just default to "Karco Remix." :\

Redo?
Redone?
Revamped?

Eh, it's got almost nothing to do with the original. XD Right now I'm considering Karco's Inspired Remix, it might be a bit too cheesy though. :\

POE 95% ...
getting excited ;) hope you made the chorus better. and some other stuff
..
lol its over 9000!!! i mean.. 90.. sorry

I think I did. :D

That's ok. ;D

It doubled in length! (since the demo that is)
Amagawd!

Insane! D:

Do you take reqeusts?

...

unleashed? :D

enuff said..

I have a few ideas, maybe I'll extend it sometime after I finish the Paradise on E remix and/or Form. ;)

POE is finally finished!
You took your time...

Can't wait to hear it! It's susposed to be a masterpiece. You better not let us down. >: (

I'll try to give a fully review on it since its kinda special ;).

Sounds good. And no, I won't let you down, though the quality might. :P

ITSWEDNESDAYITSWEDNESDAY!!!!1!1!1111!
>!<1,2

IKNOW!!!!!!1!1!!@8

I'm just waiting for Pulstate to get back to me with a better LQ version. D: I plan to have it uploaded by 2:00-2:30, Newgrounds time, regardless.

Essay beats karco!

gay essays... :O

You should do something about your keybaord! How long is it been? 2 months already since you should get it?!
Still waiting for an epic keyboard battle >: (

It'll be done today. XD

Nah, it's coming in soon enough anyway. There's really nothing I can do. :\

Congrats karco :D
18th. =3

What do you mean 18th?! I won Weekly 3rd, too! ;D

Hardtrance sounds oké to me! :)

But, Yuo were so excited about a song with lyrics. And now youve dropped it?
Well maybe you should get the full lyrics first, or atleast the chorus, then post a demo of (partly we dont want to spoil newgrounds) the chorus + the intro with the first verse or something. That might be idea, just to know how it WOULD sound. Then you can ask people 'Should i finish this piece of.. i mean this song?'
Goodluck karco :P

ps. I should produce more :/

Hmm, maybe. I'm going to keep going for now with the vocals for now. :)

Yeah, you should. XD

FL Studio 8 Producer Edition, (http://flstudio.com)
ReFX Nexus and several expansions (http://refx.com)
Vengeance Essential Clubsounds Vols. 1 and 2 (http://vengeance-sound.de, look under Sample CDs)

Hope that helps. :)

I want to live on a FLAT PLANET. >: ( this is unfair

*you can delete my other posts if you want*

But what if I don't want to? ;D

Oh no, now i actually have to finish that!?

Of course? ;D

Noh Wai!?

Bet Wai!

Because it's awesome and you need to finish it so it becomes awesomer. >:(

Congrats on weekly 3rd.
Awesomeness.
(Only noticed after I hit "send" on the PM)

Thanks. :D

I actually don't mind, I saw this comment first anyway. :P

Upon listening to that last track of yours (congrats on weekly by the way), I thought... wow, you sure have improved since that "Eternal melody" song :D

Well done man. Well friggin' done. Keep it up

I thought of reviewing it... I probably will, at some point in the timeline of an infinite, ever expanding universe. Which means, anything from tomorrow to next year.

Thanks, and thanks again. :D I actually went through all of my songs in chronological order once, when I had a few hours to burn, I've come a long way. XD

Of course, you've helped me lots, you know. ;D

At least next year's only five and a half months away! :D
