This project needs a little Wacky Workbench style in the mix, don'tcha think? Check out first beta wav: docs.google.com/file/d/0B2C16041iMhgT1doRXN5ekNUa0U/edit?usp=docslist_apiI have interesting ideas for the past and good future mix, but maybe one of you guys can come up with a bad future idea to build on? Tails, I know you don't like the chords, and you are welcome to edit the Caustic 3 module and let me know what you think sounds better. Oh, here's the module file: docs.google.com/file/d/0B2C16041iMhgc2g5ZTdvOU9VZXM/edit?usp=docslist_apiThe story behind this is that I used to be obsessed with computers and games, so my mom would say that I breathed bits and bytes. So saying the name Electrican Elation fast enough sounds like you're saying "Electric Inhalation". It's a word play really. |

What does Electrican mean? Well, not anything, really. But it is a common mispelling for "Electrician" when you do a job search on the internet. Not very professional, but justifies this word I made up, hehe.  Elation is a deep feeling of joy, almost where you're about to jump up and down. I figure and Electrican would have such a feeling with this zone. |

I think I can handle Bad Future. This might be my favorite zone song so far, so I think I have some good ideas about how I could make that work... I'll give it a try this week, and see what I come out with.  |

I'll give it a try this week, and see what I come out with. I'm eager to hear that. But, maybe I should extend the melody a little this week so you have a little more to work with conceptually. I'll try to do this soon to help you out. There is a folder for this zone and the bad future in the collaboration folder, so feel free to upload when you are ready with a concept. In fact, within the directory, you may see some interesting new zone names my brain has been cookin'up that I don't even have music for yet. And you are welcome to toss any ideas out for those as well. Even if you can only think of a past or good future. |

Bad Future concept uploaded! I'm incredibly proud of it, but I didn't do too much with it, as I know you're still working on the present and want to add some things to it. |

Hey, Super Leilio,
I heard the bad future track. I think it was good to ask for your help because I was really not sure where to go with the D mix. It turned out nice. I like the minor piano chords, integrating the present tune here and there, the dilapidated metallic sounds, and your alteration of the second lead. There is definitely immersiveness which is what we're looking for.
My only suggestion is where the buzzer sound triggers 4 times. To me, it should sound more intense, but maybe with a different timbre than the buzz sound I made.
Also, don't be afraid to go further with the track if you think you have a good idea of how to finish it off. You may inspire my direction for the present mix.
You got creative with Lunar Light Present, and the parts you added give me a good idea about how to finish the Past mix for that. Plus they just sound cool. ( ■_■ )♪♬
Thanks again!

Slight update to Electrican Elation's Bad Future! I added some more arps, and did a few things for fun... Still not sure where else to take this beyond what is here. I might expand more sections in the middle, as I did here... I dunno, is it sounding good? Edit: They come desynced at times, those arps. :\ Odd... |

Well, for the most part, your overall mix sounds much more solid, and balanced now. I also have no problem with unsynced arps, and that seems to fit the dilapidated bad future sound pretty well. I am a little undecided about the happier sounding segment from 0:52 through 1:07. On the one hand, it sounds good aesthetically, and well played. It is also one of many logical musical progressions to take at that point. But it kinda doesn't fit the bad future concept in my opinion. It DOES sound like something that would fit the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack better. Ironically, at the end of the second loop during segment, 2:18 through 2:22, this part sounds good, and should stay. Please don't take it the wrong way. You made good effort, and everything else sounds great. Your creativity with Frostbite Funkfalls is a smash hit, after all. With that small happy segment, I think we can just leave it the way it is now, and if there are any better ideas in the future, it can be changed then. I'll start my brain cookin'! Wow, the whole mix really sounds rich and thick, though, so I'm pleased with how it's mostly coming along! See ya!  |

I might expand more sections in the middle, as I did here... I dunno, is it sounding good? Edit: They come desynced at times, those arps. :\ Odd... So I now have an idea on how to fix that happy segment. I have it in my head stored in long term memory. The trick is not to get rid of all the happy stuff, but rather to turn up the dismal dial a couple of notches. Kind of mixing in some more minor progressing notes. When I get to this song, I'll play out the melody alteration I had in mind. Yes there will still be a little happy sound there, but not quite as much. The rest of the song sounds really good to me and reminds me very much of Collision Chaos Bad Future (Jap version of course)  Yes I know you were going for not having every boss or bad future be so overly sullen and dark. I support your concept, and I will try to help preserve that as much as possible while staying in context with the SCD Bad Future concept. This blending of happy and sad can actually give a much more eery feel to the song as well. So you were on the right track. Alrighty, take care! |
