      02)jonnycuba  -  Done
      03)gabrielconroy  -  "needs tidying up and some parts added"

      06)NoSleep  -  Editing and mixing
      07)Phil_A  -  Done

      11)the  -  Done

      15)Avril Lavigne  -  Dropped out - Anyone want to take the place?
      16)thraxx  -  Had to start again, but still in


If you have red next to your name - can you:
- Give us an update on how complete it is, and ideally,
- Finish your track and submit it.

Thanks attack


How to submit your track

Output it as WAV or AIFF, preferably 24 Bit @ 44.1 kHz. If you can't do this for some reason, PM NoSleep and an arrangement can probably be made to accomodate what you can manage.

NoSleep will be doing the final album master when all the tracks are in place.
So your output file shouldn't have any final hard limiting or brickwall compression applied to it (basically, don't do a final crunch of the volume/dynamics, as you might if releasing the track yourself).
Keep all peaks below full volume (0db) so that it's not distorted and he has some headroom to work with.

Upload your file to your Dropbox or similar upload service (https://wetransfer.com is good for short-term uploads). Then PM NoSleep with the link to your file.

Thanksula

Sent mine to Nosleep a few weeks ago but had to do some additional tinkering. Just bouncing it now and will send a PM once I've uploaded it.

Edit: PM sent

Petey Pate

So that's 40% of the tracks done, which would leap up to 60% once those 'done-but-with-submission-preventing-caveats' get submitted.

Good work, let's keep it up.


     

Rich Uncle Skeleton

Selling my larger pieces of music gear before moving back to England so recording to a deadline now if that helps, if I'm not done by the 13th(?) kick me off. Sorry for the delay.

NoSleep

Did a sizeable bit of work on mine over the weekend.

gabrielconroy

It's been so long that I find my track massively boring now. But at least it was written with my bit of the film in mind. I mean, I could send it as it is but I could also have another crack at adding a bit of soul to it. I have this Sunday all to myself so I'll have another go at it then and if I can't make any headway I'll send it as it is.

Johnny Textface

I still intend to contribute.. My track is almost ready :)

falafel

Really fucking sorry. Life is getting in the way. You should probably carry on assuming I am out, though I will try to find time to finish what I started because I did rather like it.

Sad crying face.

Haha Tape IV is waiting to happen

- Can you send a completed track?
- If not, can you give an update?

NoSleep

Sorry, I've been busy. No progress on my track from last update. And still waiting on Dr Syntax Head on whether he's going to upgrade from that lo-quality mp3.

Beagle 2

Sorry - it's still on my Mac and we're packed up to move house in a couple of weeks. As soon as it's unpacked I can get it.

thraxx


Sorry yes, fuck.

It's still far from ready, but I am calling in a pal to help me who knows what the fuck he is doing. I did set up everything today to realise that I have forgotten how everything works and that Reaper isn't picking up my midi interface and I have failed to rectify in about 4 hours fucking about today.

I hope to have it ready for Xmas.

I'd imagine that the approaching holiday period would be an ideal time to commit some audio to disk.

I have progressed quite far this month but I'm behind schedule on my work, so any spare time this xmas will have to be spent on catching up.

Given I was on previous 3 albums with very shit contributions I'll happily contribute a bonus track within a week if you want?

Thanks to Johnny for sending his track to me (which is by no means shit).

You're welcome to have a go, as Avril Lavigne dropped out and so there's a slot. If you follow the link below and watch 7 minutes of the film from your cue. It's just inspiration for your track; you don't need to write seven minutes of soundtrack (unless that's what you are inspired to do), use it as a springboard.

Petey Pate needs to send you a copy of his track (pm him) so you can hear what you're following on the album for reference, and as soon as you have your own track in reasonable shape (beginning-middle-end, etc) pm a copy to Thraxx for reference (for what it's worth at this late stage).

...

I still haven't heard back from Dusty's mate about a finalised version of his track; I'll give him a bump via email. I do have a version of Dusty's track to fall back on if I don't hear from his mate (and it's in good shape to my ears). Preferably I want to follow Dusty's wish to have his  friend take a look at it.

hummingofevil

Go on then. I'll do something within a week as got load of time free.

Beagle 2

Right, I'm on with this now.

McFlymo

I would've loved to have gotten involved in this! If anyone else doesn't weigh in I'd happily contribute something.

Either way, looking forward to hearing the results.

Beagle 2

Right, I've done mine. Really sorry but I started again with a new track as the old one was dogshit, I hope it doesn't spoil the flow!

I've just checked and Dr Syntax Head hasn't been seen around these parts since last September. Last we heard he had lost the song from his computer but had previously sent a 128kbpm mp3 to jonnycuba. I asked him to redo the track but did not hear back.

I'd be happy for you to fill in for him. As it's the opening track you haven't got to worry about what you're following, but I could send you a copy of jonnycuba's track at this late stage, so you can hear what he did in reaction to Dr Syntax Head's mp3. All you need to do is watch the 7 minutes of the film following the link below and use it as a springboard for your own track. You're not obliged to create 7 minutes of soundtrack (unless that's what you decide to do), just write a bit of music after watching (with the sound turned down) that relates, in whatever way you decide, to the clip.
