Reflectionist

Aaaand that's what happens when I forget about a pet project of mine. Sorry, guys. I've been focusing on my daughter, and put this one on the back burner. I've been in touch with Astat and RogueSoul and we're compiling back into the original Google Doc. In all honesty, I'm certain the reason I quit working on the Remix Guide in the first place was because I was doing pretty good with formatting the boxes to reference album art colors. Minutes to Midnight was white-on-black, while A Thousand Suns was black-on-white. So when the Hunting Party came out--yet another black-and-white album, I panicked and gave up, Edit -- Updated the original Remix Guide today with Astat. I added The Hunting Party, but I haven't confirmed anything from that for myself. I usually let Astat get the Key, because he's honestly more into the music theory than I am. He's been updating the key for some of these songs, and even getting into modes which is something I'm not super familiar with (I could only afford classes up to Theory II, and never got III or IV). I would love for there to be a readme file that could give a few ideas on what the guide could be used for, who the collaborators are, maybe a few helpful links to music theory resources. Another thing I think might be helpful... for these Rock Band / Guitar Hero games where the stems for songs are eventually going to come up, but no, they haven't yet, I think those should be noted. Maybe just with the game title. Remember how Breaking The Habit was on Rock Band 3, but it took considerably longer for those stems to come out, than say, Numb? EDIT 2 -- How has nobody gotten the tempo for Final Masquerade yet? It literally starts with drums! Okay, it doesn't have a downbeat, but... drums! Lol. I kid, I kid. I'm just a little bit frustrated because I didn't actually have the hard drive space for my LP collection at the moment on this computer. I actually only have a few songs worth of stems, just enough for projects I thought were worth bringing over from my old laptop. I need to get another hard drive. Sucks being poor.

Shit, I meant to give you editing privileges on the original doc. The idea was that the first page of the Excel sheet would be for main LP Studio Albums (or their major releases, to account for Reanimation and Collision Course), the second page would be for LPU tracks and other directly Linkin Park related minutiae (DJ Hero Stems, Tasty Breaks, etc). Then Fort Minor / DBS / STPwCB / solo related projects. That way it would be a little easier to navigate. :-) Send me a PM or a message on SoundCloud; I'd be more than happy to work with you so the formatting works out to everyone's advantage--I'm not 100% sure I know how to do it, but you can copy your data into Astat and myself's original file and I can format it for you and give you credit. I'm sorry, Soul, I'm really bad about this type of stuff. I didn't know this project would actually be popular and useful.

Image looks like an abstract facepalm... Run it through a spectrogram, or FL's Beep Map...? See if the image can produce an audio signal?

No idea. I thought I fixed that forever ago... shit.

Sure, as long as they're right. I'd like to encourage checking and rechecking. Honestly, I have no idea anymore. Sorry.

Thanks!

Man, I remember when this came out and the internets were all like, "THIS IS TOTALLY LINKIN PARK." The CD I got this song from was the CD I first hear Grey Daze on. Also, this song is pretty epic. Still remember the lyrics: "i'm running out of patience and my life is over." Definitely worth a listen, even if it's not Linkin Park. At all. Yeah, that's never sounded like Mike. I'm not sure why people thought it was. I listen to this 1000x before I listen to Rock and Roll. Sorry HBMS. I love Hydroponikz verse here, and love the way he seamlessly integrated the instrumental with the short Chester section on the actual song.

I don't have any issues with Minutes to Midnight, but the project Astat and I are working on is more about "updating" old songs via remixed covers in ways that reflect how Linkin Park has matured over the years--while also incorporating elements from bands that influence the both of us. It's a long way off, honestly, because Astat is working on some original projects of his own--he can tell you more about those, but I'm really looking forward to them--so I couldn't ask him to devote the time for the guitar parts to 6 or 7 songs right off the bat. Yeah, there'll be some Xero tracks--like Reading My Eyes and one other, but pretty much anything worked on between 1996 and 2001 is fair game. I know that's a weird answer, Geki, but we aren't really thinking about doing any Minutes tracks right now. I'm also working on a couple of projects in the meantime. In January of 2012, I released my first album, Entropy, comprised of 6 original works. Right now I'm up to my nipples in work on the follow-up to that. There's also a secret project I'm involved with that I can't tell you anything about. And then I'm using most of my spare time to work on my LP Mash-Up album, Identity Crisis, which you can check out progress here.

Whoa, thanks for the thread, Hahninator! You guys are all awesome, thank you so much for the compliments! And yeah, I think you guys might hear more collaborations from Astat and I. It's entirely possible. But shhhh... haha. An embarrassingly long time, considering how much further I know I can go. Almost eleven years, now. Same with percussion, not just drums. I'm actually a percussion major at a local-ish college in Southwest Missouri.

Anthony is not only very so intensely knowledgeable when it comes to Linkin Park and music in general, he is also one of my closest friends. I've known you for almost 8 years, now, and it's always a pleasure to have long conversations about the music theory minutia buried in Linkin Park songs until neither one of us knows what the hell we're doing anymore. I've enjoyed working with you more than I can say, and I look forward to working with you some more, dude. Thanks, bro!

The beginnings of Trollnoda... haha

They need to bring High Voltage back... Holy fuck that shit balls hard live. And Forgotten, if they retool it a bit.

Linkin Park Remix Guide 2.0 Since it appears that the original project was a) never fully completed and abandoned, I decided it was time to reestablish the project, as the remix community continues to grow. We'll be going through Linkin Park, LPU, DBS, FM, STBwCB, and exclusively-live tracks for this. Click here to view the new remix guide. If you want to help complete the document, PM me and I'll give you editing privileges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hey, guys. So I'm wanting to make a Google Doc Spreadsheet as a quick reference guide for Linkin Park fan remixers. You want to know the tempo of a song? Here you go. Key? Here you go. Curious if there are stems? This'll tell you what's out there. There have been so many times I've just wanted to sort my tracks by tempo or key and then decide if I want to do a mash-up, instead of getting excited over an idea and once halfway through it realizing it's just not going to work. So that's the point of this project. It's a Google Doc spreadsheet that lists all Linkin Park, Fort Minor, and Dead By Sunrise songs, their keys, tempo, availability of stems, and of course title and album. As of right now, I've only got the five studio albums listed, with a good jumping point for formatting certain things. Not all of the information is complete, though! And that's why I need your help! Here's the link to the Remix Guide, as it is right now. Some things to note: I know this is LP Live, but there's no need for live tracks, unless it's something specific like an IEM recording that can be used. So there's no use for putting in Live In Texas or Road to Revolution. Time Signatures do change. In Burning In The Skies, for example, the verses are in 6/4, while the chorus is in 4/4. So I notated that by putting it like this: "6/4(v) 4/4©". Some of the songs might not be quantized (or they weren't recorded to a click track). An example would include The Messenger, which I know is around 125, but not 125-exactly-on-the-dot. I notated that with an "almost-equal-to" sign next to the tempo. Like this: "≈125". There are a lot of interludes on A Thousand Suns. If you know any other interludes (like Reanimation), just copy that formatting. The formatting there is more useful for Reanimation than ATS, since there is a key, tempo, and time signature for Wake, The Radiance, NTR/mssn etc. To my knowledge, Until It Breaks is the only song with an actual tempo change that I've come across. There's a change from 80bpm to 85bpm at some point (I'll have to check for those values). I haven't gotten there yet, but I'll probably notate it like this "80(v1) -> 85(v2)" Or something like that. As far as the Stems column goes, it's a bit more complicated than just a Yes or No. Yes would be that the song has stems, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't say something about that Make Your Own Mash-Up contest LP had around 2008 or so. They may not be super high quality loops, but I know there are partial bits of Leave Out All The Rest out there to use. There's also some fan made stuff, some of the songs have incomplete stems. There's a turntable track for It's Goin' Down floating around out there. I'd like to account for all of that. Some tracks were released as b-sides. My December and High Voltage should use Hybrid Theory's formatting, while Blackbirds or It's Goin Down should use a formatting of their own, since they don't really belong to an album. What I really need help with right now is putting in rows for Hybrid Theory EP, Reanimation, Collision Course, LPU cds, collaborations, and b-sides. I might also include links to lyrics (try to use an official source, if possible). At any rate... for now this is open for people to edit. You guys have the link. Please don't be a dick about it by deleting everything, and don't be upset if someone else corrects you if you're wrong. That's just how peer review goes, and that's the best way to ensure accuracy. So, what do you guys think? Good idea?

Quick Question: What's the chord progression in Fuse? For Astat

I heard the Pro Tools session for Pushing Me Away leaked, but the only thing that got 'out' out was the vocal track. I had it for a while, but it was on my old computer, which got stolen. Here's a mash-up that I made where I used it.

You guys are silly quoting the booklet for Shadow of the Day. "The keyboard loop in Shadow Of The Day went through many different changes during the song's creation. Dozens of options were created on piano, acoustic guitar, marimba, xylophone, and even electric banjo before finally writing the reversed/edited keyboard version that appears here.". He's talking about the loop that first comes in at measure 3 and plays through the rest of the song. NOT the string / FX arrangement in the chorus. Just clearing that up.

Oh, I know...

Until It Breaks instrumental blows my mind. Was less impressed with Victimized. Still waiting on most of the acapellas to download.... Castle of Glass is a religious experience, of course. Lots of subtle beauty in most of the instrumentals.

Worth it. Downloading now.

doesn't work. they're encoded wierdly. they do a different encryption on each game or expansion that comes out....

Oh, yeah! That's right. It's hilarious, dude!

I think someone on LPL made this one, I still LOL every time.
