Albumix IX Available! (9/22)

[Shortysnmn2010]

Well, here we go again! Time for another release. This one turned out fairly well, I believe . Tried to vary up the music a little bit. Slightly harder than VIII, I believe. If you liked the graphics from the last pack, you'll probably enjoy the ones here as well. All the graphics are images I found on google, so no bad photoshop here (save the text =P). Got a few unique sims in here - one having a number of BPM changes, some fairly popular songs, a "naughty" song, and a few in foreign languages. Hope you guys enjoy .

Albumix X is well underway...however, due to school and personal issues, it will not be released until later (I'm guessing early November...have to do all the graphics, but not going to have a lot of spare time to do them). X is going to be fairly unique - going to have harder songs, and an "experimental" song or two. Will mention more about that later.

Albumix will be done after X. However, I am thinking about making an "Albumix 2" series, that pretty much continues as usual (I want Albumix to end on an even number =P). It will use the notation as "2.I (essentially Albumix XI), 2.II (XII), etc." Going to try to make these slightly harder and more unique than Albumix - going to try the whole mine/hand/roll thing, and see where that takes me. However, if I do decide to go with this, it will be a while before anything is released. School is becoming rougher (overloading units this quarter), and it's becoming harder for me to produce a unique simfile >.<. We'll see how the release of X goes...it will be a good "transition" from Albumix to Albumix 2, if there is one.

As of right now, the rapidshare link and the UMKCDDR link are both working...the other mirrors may not be up until later this weekend.

Well, enjoy!

I'll be updating my page soon.
Unfortunetly I have several computer problems.
The main one being that my laptop desided it no longer liked it's moniter and desided to blow up. My 2 spare laptops are each in peaces. One now has up-to-date windows and needs programs installed and the other I'll probably have to re-install windows again... Joy...

I'm hardcoding the new link and such now...

EDIT: My mirror should now be up and running

[svartabrandr]

wow

keep up the good work
we love you

Always appreciate the hosting and the comments thanks! ^^

Graphics this time around are going to look better for the most part, as someone as offered to help ^^. They have turned out very well so far - very ITG-ish (made for an ITG theme).

Depending on how much he is willing to do and our schedule...I'm hoping to have X released either on November 3rd or the 10th. Just have to fix a few syncing errors (have some "interesting" bpm stuff in a particular song) and the remainder of the graphics. Will also help get a "feel" for Albumix 2...as I'm planning on making it more ITG-based (to what extent, I don't know yet).

Will post later when I have a set date and more info.

Good Job with the mix.

[MacGravel]

If you want man, I can make you graphics. And I'm glad to see you are still making this series. I've always liked them. Maybe I'll send another file in sometime :>

[cpubasic13]

As usual, I enjoy your mixes. I feel sad that it is ending for a while, but the fact that you have made pad files I still play over and over and that my friends enjoy shows how good your files are.

This pack has shown that there doesn't have to be a general theme to make a great pack, nor does it need fancy graphics. It just needs good steps. :P

All your graphics are lacking are fancy text effects, anyway.

[svartabrandr]

Albumix 2 sounds really cool by the way. Can't wait

[Mooga]

MacGravel!
I have to say that I LOVE the song you did for mix 3 (my personal fav mix). It's hard (even in light) but it's just a ton of fun! Very well made. If you ever need some hosting PM me dude.

[Shortysnmn2010]

Always appreciate the comments . More motivation to work on Albumix 2, when I get around to it. ^^

Still don't have a set date for X yet, need to talk to the guy helping me with graphics (MacGravel, I'd love to have some help if you're interested...I'll let you know when I startup Albumix 2 ^^...and also feel free to send another file if you want).

Started to toy with a few songs for 2.I...not sure how well it's going, though =\. I'll probably work on it a lot in December, during winter break (much needed, since I'm taking 5 classes this quarter >.<)...maybe I'll be more creative then .

[Shortysnmn2010]

Alright...got some dates:

Nov. 10 - Albumix X released.

Talked to the main guy doing the graphics (goes by DXM in the itgfreak forums), and progress has been pretty good. Definitely will have it done by then...the updating in xanga thing did not go pretty well, so i'll list the artists here as kind of a teaser:

- Keira Green
- Tess
- DJ Quicksilver
- Le Zoo
- Ernesto Vs. Bastian
- Milk Inc. (2x)
- Alex Megane
- Kate Ryan
- Sarina Paris
- Soda Club feat. Charlotte Day
- Blank & jones
- Alex Deluxe
- Colonia
- E-Rotic
- Megara vs. DJ Lee
- Unique
- Safri Duo
- Leslie Parrish
- Teamx Presents

I think this one will be a good one to end Albumix on . A few notes:
- FINALLY found a good song to do that only uses 12th-steps ^^
- Only 5 songs exceed 2 minutes
- Have another song that has some BPM gimicks...nothing too crazy
- Got a song with 32nd's, and another with some (evil) 24th's ^^
- Song difficulty overall are slightly higher, but not by much
- Great graphics from DXM ^^

Early December - Albumix Origins released

This will be a pack to tide people over until Albumix 2.I is released. This one is going to have 20 old simfiles I've created that were around a long time before Albumix came into existance. The graphics are ok...and the steps might not be on par with Albumix (since they were some of the first sims I've created). However, I want to release it because they were wiped out when 7.0 came, and they were still ok simfiles ^^;;

January 9, 2007 - Albumix 2 begins, with 2.I

I chose this date because that marks the one-year for the Albumix series. I'm only using this date for the first pack, and not for future Albumix 2 packs. Very similar to Albumix, only the difficulties are slightly harder, and I'm trying to implement mines and hands, and make the steps more ITG-ish. It'll be interesting to see how this pack turns out.

Question: With the recent release of ITG's R21...I've been thinking about making my simfiles for the purpose of putting them onto a USB card for gameplay (well, that's how I've always made them...but it's a reality now). So...should I just use .ogg files instead of .mp3, or should I release a separate pack that's made for people to use in the arcades (stripped graphics, .ogg files, etc)? This also means that I'm going to try to make all my simfiles from 2.I on under 2-minutes =P...too late for that in X, lol.

What do you guys think?

[Mooga]

w00t!
Despite all my computer hell, I should be able to host the files.
Thank goodness for portable apps!
