I love this post.

Anyway, a donation pool is a great idea, though I wouldn't be able to donate anything at least for this month.
We need money not only for the CD printing, but also perhaps to cover part of the cost of recording equipment for some of the musicians. And by that I mean a cheap microphone or something.
I think quality is an important aspect, especially considering we're starting a new circle, full of unexperienced people.

Quality.

I dunno. I just used a cheap Logitech chat mic and Audacity to test something in 5 min and the quality was pretty descent. :/

Donations are a smart idea... But I can't donate yet :ohdear: Perhaps we can advertise this around MoTK?

Haha well I know I said I would donate, so I still will a bit, but I was just laid off, so forget the part about "subsequent paychecks" xD

Unassuming Squid · « **Reply #93 on:** September 07, 2010, 07:45:28 PM »

Also, I would donate, but...I don't have money to do so.

I ordered a mic to rerecord my piano stuff to CD quality, so that should be arriving next week. That would explain my lack of participation, currently.

Oh wait, does it have ta be live (well, recorded), or rearranged and computer-played? Does it matter? :/ Because if we just go and record random Touhou songs, it's probably... not going ta... :/ I don't know what I'm typing.

flamezero16 · « **Reply #95 on:** September 08, 2010, 12:19:33 AM »

Me neither amigo, spit it out XD No it doesnt matter, If ya wanna record an instrument, or do some midi editing (Dont recommend actually using midis =p) go for it.

Infy♫ · « **Reply #96 on:** September 15, 2010, 04:58:28 PM »

if you're planning on recording your own instrument play, make sure you got a good mic (and not a stupid webcam like me)

HakureiSM · « **Reply #97 on:** September 15, 2010, 05:37:31 PM »

Like I said, equipment and all~

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #98 on:** September 16, 2010, 01:09:54 AM »

I can music a bit.

Art.. well, you've seen my art.

No? Didn't think so.

As for music, I think the first thing I can do is a remix of Candid Friend

I dunno, would you let me do anything?

HakureiSM · « **Reply #99 on:** September 16, 2010, 01:48:56 AM »

Everyone is allowed to submit anything, then when the deadline comes, we'll select our material.

Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch · « **Reply #100 on:** September 16, 2010, 04:44:58 AM »

Wow, so almost no one is doing artwork?

*readies drawing hand to do Mechas and SotC style touhous*

I will contribute! If I get off my ass and get to it, that is >~>;;

Affinity · « **Reply #101 on:** September 16, 2010, 09:00:36 AM »

I... could try music composition if it's okay. I've done ambient and classical before, though my classical may not very appropriate for this project. Is something more contemporary but less accessible permitted? e.g in this style

And would there be a split; like an electronics disc and a classical/acoustic disc in the album?

Eh... Autumn o.O? Well at any rate, couldn't hurt to try~ That actually sounds like a great idea as far as splittin the CD up. Depends on how many songs we get before the end though I guess. From what I can see im the only one who has any instrumental songs up xD Oh and squidy added one.

Also id like to add that I love classical music and would be EXTREMELY happy if you produced something in that genre~

Unassuming Squid · « **Reply #103 on:** September 16, 2010, 03:03:51 PM »

As far as I'm aware, you can use any style you want. I don't think we're constraining this album to songs in a specific style. In any case, we could use some more instrumentals. Flame and I are lonely. :V

Also, why has nobody contributed art yet? Surely you guys have something to contribute that you've already made.

HakureiSM · « **Reply #104 on:** September 16, 2010, 03:51:50 PM »

I'm working on my stuff and practicing before actually submitting final pieces.
There's also that 'doing actual art study' I mentioned in IRC.

I want stuff to become of quality first, y'know :fail:

thats not autumn. they just use similar avatar.

speaking of splitting the CD up, that was my original idea. Did you ever listen WAVE's ARCHIV-EAST CD? one of the CDs contains piano arranges, jazzy and choral songs and some others. the second contains orchestral arranges, the third is made pure of techno arranges in which two songs are mixed together.

we could do it in such a way too. depending on the content.

HakureiSM · « **Reply #106 on:** September 16, 2010, 08:50:02 PM »

I think it's best we not give a damn about style yet, especially considering this community has so many different ones, both in art and music(especially music), and wait till we have all our material to sort and select.

I'm pretty sure I've been saying this repeatedly...

Yeah I know, just for emphasis lol :V

Autumn · « **Reply #109 on:** September 17, 2010, 01:10:27 AM »

Eh, I saw Affinity's post and went "What the heck, did I post that?"

Well, you must be an Aki fan so hooray!

<HakureiReimu> christ, you musicians are doing so much stuff I'm feeling ashamed for not contributing shit yet
<Squidtentacle> Don't worry about it.
<Squidtentacle> Just perfect whatever you're doing and then submit it.
<HakureiReimu> I'm not *doing*anything
<HakureiReimu> like I said, I'd rather practice a hell lot first

Which size should the cover be ?

Unassuming Squid · « **Reply #112 on:** September 17, 2010, 01:21:54 AM »

Just draw something for now. After the deadline, we'll be voting for which piece should be on the cover.

Not positive, but a little googlefu came up with 12 x 12cm

HakureiSM · « **Reply #114 on:** September 17, 2010, 01:29:46 AM »

Oh shit, it's Formless God.

Good, now I know I don't stand a chance :fail:

Marin The Magus · « **Reply #115 on:** September 17, 2010, 04:15:22 PM »

I'm doing my 4th try to make the cover. With homework and all the test that seem to be raining these weeks... I don't have much time. But I still have time until the deadline, so I should keep trying...
...BUT I CHANGE MY MIND REALLY OFTEN xD (Well, I have an idea - at least - of what to do *sigh*)
So, question: the character/s I pick matter/s a lot?

flamezero16 · « **Reply #116 on:** September 17, 2010, 04:50:17 PM »

I appreciate ya tryin Mary~ Nah I dont think the characters matter much =p Should see what Etchy has so far. Lookin epic. Good luck

Oh, good, 'cause I threw Remilia and Flandre in one side and Koishi and Satori in the other :3 (Well, I love those 4!...Besides, I love yurincest...xD)

HakureiSM · « **Reply #118 on:** September 18, 2010, 09:52:20 PM »

So after my calculus exam this week(which will keep me away from the forum as of this moment too) I'll start really getting down on the drawing board and practising

See y'all in some days

Oh, and if there's any decency left in me you won't see me in IRC either.

Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch · « **Reply #119 on:** September 18, 2010, 10:59:58 PM »

I think I'll submit my first copy of the CD now and then again when ALL the fluff's been put on it.

...or should I finish up first??
