Sneap forum Dio tribute album thread

[DanLights]

I updated the list in my post in the first page with this one of Plankis. Ok we have many songs finished or near finished, it's time to move our asses and get this released one way or the other!

We never heard back from that awesome art work, but we have a few nice submissions so I guess I'll revive that thread

We still need someone to do the mastering, I'm still thinking Anssi, but open to options

 

[Plankis]

Names that've been tossed around for mastering:
ahjteam - Declined
Mago
Glenn Fricker

Do we have any volunteers?

I've sent superfreak a pm about the art work, hopefully he'll chime in soon about that kickass art work.

 

[ahjteam]

I decline.

 

[superfreak]

Just dropping by to update you guys...

Dream Evil: Deciding whether to enhance the mix I have now or go for a more modern sound. Either way, it's getting re-mixed

We're Stars: Almost done with the mix but the big solo section doesn't sound smooth enough, I have to experiment with moving the solos around a bit.

Heaven & Hell: I don't want to sound like an ass but I don't like any of LeSedna's mix attempts (nothing personal buddy) and those keyboards do not help the song at all. I will attempt one last mix and then it's up to you guys to decide.

Going to start work on the songs sometime next week.


Cheers!

The Snakecharmer - we can throw this one away if you don't mind. i did several more vocals, guitars and mixes, so i think we can sacrifice the Snakecharmer

I'll finish All the Fools, Stargazer and LLRR VERY soon, sorry for the delay with them.

 

[Plankis]

New month, new bump.

 

[Jevil]

Deadline was in September, wasn't it?

 

[Paulie!]

It got indefinately extended I think, everything is recorded I beleive, just waiting on final mixes to be submitted...

I'm just waiting to hear the final All The Fools mix really, I wanna hear how that finished out since I'm playing most of the guitar stuff in it haha

No credit to the keyboardist?!

Btw, I thought it would be nice if the credits list mentioned real names of the musicians involved along with an icon of their respective country's flag. It would be a cool way to show that so many musicians from all over the world worked together to pay tribute to the late great Ronnie James Dio. Yay or nay?

 

[Plankis]

I'm gonna go ahead and take some liberties now.

DEADLINE MIX: 2011-03-13
Fuuuu if you can't finish it by then. This deadline is only about 180 days later then expected!


DEADLINE MASTER: 2011-05-08
-Do we have any volunteers?
-Shall we consider professional?
-The order of the songs?
This must be solved before 2011-03-13.



RELEASE DATE: 2011-05-16



Things to do:

Album art:
-Is that album cover sorted?
-Include lyrics?
-Include credits?
--Real names?
--Countries?
---Small and nice looking flags, any site that has these?

Marketing:
-A standalone site? Nothing major. Just a player, some artwork and a download link. See Lowbergs bandpage or Slice the Cake.
-Youtube?

 

[Severu]

I have vector flags. Who's doing the layout?
Oh yeah and I vote for real names and countries.

 

[Skinny Viking]

I'm fine with all that. Mix will be done in a couple weeks ... working out some things non-music related

 

[DanLights]

I agree with all that as well, and about release Jason was gonna be handling it through Backstage Metal, personally I'm fine with that as well

 

[guitarguru777]

I am still down, I am still waiting to get stems from Superfreak so I can rearrange the guitar solos on we are stars.

 

[superfreak]

Jason I thought you had all the files! I'll upload a mix without the solos, is that good enough to work with? Do you have all the solo files?

Tell me what you need and I'll upload it.

 

[Paulie!]

+1 on real name and country...

 

[ahjteam]

Did we get green light from Wendy yet?



Include credits: yes, with real name and countries (I wouldn't mind having the username too there)

"We're stars" need the name list too.

-Include lyrics?

By law we are not allowed to print the lyrics.

On the order: I would say go chronological according to original date. We're stars came out in 1985.

[Plankis]

You mean we shouldn't finish this?

 

[ahjteam]

You mean we shouldn't finish this?

Didn't say that. I mean that it's been a while since Ronnie has now passed away to better stadiums and the media spam on her has been hopefully calmed down, so now might be a good time to re-ask this from her.

 

[Plankis]

Yeah, it's worth a shot. But I'm not so sure it's enough even if she says it's fine.
Paulie! wasn't it you who sent those letters?
