I'm making updates to EVERY song on The Waiting Room. Yes, it's a very time consuming process but I feel with the increased quality of my newer songs over my older ones, the old ones deserve an update. Unfortunately, this means I won't be coming out with anything "new" for a little while, but all the songs should be on par in a while.
If you go to the music page, the songs with the flashing "new" are reuploaded. The obvious goal is to reupload every song, including the Sonic Robo Blast 2 soundtrack and BattleToads X.
The main goal is to have a pretty consistent flow with the sound of the songs. Right now, I'm currently using a Ludwig Black Beauty for my drum kit, a Fernandes 6-string bass, a B.C. Rich Beast for my rhythm guitars and an Ibanez RG710DX for my leads. The old songs vary from equipment used, and when the variations don't sound as good to me as I think they should, I'll go back and re-record all the parts I feel necessary. I've also collected a pretty hefty amount of soft synths now, and I've been using more diverse synthesiser sounds.
Another thing I've been changing when I can was the normalisation. My old songs used to be averaged from -10dB to -6dB, depending on the how loud the drums were. This caused the songs to lose most volume dynamic. I've now gone to keeping all volume dynamic when possible. Some tracks, such as the KURIKINTON FOX songs are not possible to do this with. In the case of the KURIKINTON FOX's tracks, I only did the lead guitars over his backing tracks, which were already normalised and compressed. It's not possible to recover any of the volume dynamic from this.
Tracks such as this are very rare, and there are only maybe four or five throughout the whole library. You'll notice when you get to them, as they'll be a lot louder than the other tracks.
Some of you know that I have also been doing high quality soundtracks for ZDOOM and if you're wondering if those tracks will be uploaded here sometime, short answer is yes.
To answer the question before I get overflowed with it; yes, this will push Pizza Power! back a little bit. However, I still expect it to be done within this year.
