It's been election day here in Norway so I've been kind of obsessed with it (it was a real thriller...close call). Anyway, we still need to reach out and get preorders. The response from Ableton Live and FLS forums have been meagre to put it mildly. Don't we have *any* other livers or floopers here who can bump my threads or post some new ones?

FWIW ===>

All of the TOTC masters are sounding great on my DAX reference monitors -- I hear no distortion or bias at all. In fact, it couldn't sound better and I bet when everything is leveled and the final arrangement is completed, we're all going to be very very pleased.

As for the final arrangement, we *should* have an MP3 available to stream & comment (if time permits). BUT -- this will only be available for listening by the participating artists, for obvious reasons.

People -- this is a STUNNING effort. I am so proud of all of you.

That said, we still need a LOT MORE pre-orders.

Apart from the developers I have talked to, are there any more that would like to help/contribute in some way with marketing/advertising/logistics/whatever assistance? Please PM us if you can.

TO ALL ==>
My thoughts: If you should find yourself lacking inspiration, think of the fact that we cannot be in Louisianna or Mississippi to lend our skills to the firefighters, police, rescue and health workers. What we have is our musical skills and we recognize that this is the most effective way we can help -- by using our music and our technical skills to craft a product that not only can be sold to make money for the K-victims, but to soothe aching hearts and souls as well. Don't let anyone make you think it's not as valid as any other effort. Don't forget that.

Cheers & Thanks,
Alex

Great post, Alex.

As for the hosting of the sales flash site, track previews etc for the CD sales site I hereby volunteer to host that and of course the sales site itself. If I have to purchase an additional plan for a while that doesn't matter.

Kovacs is most likely the BEST source for unencumbered photo stock of the hurricane, since he has his amazing science forums site.

Kovacs => Yeah mate?

That's what we do...you can usually separate the geezers from the weezers by the amount of fake viking hats being worn.

Man it was a close call...I should have crashed 2 hours ago but it was impossible not to watch it until the end. *phew*

Good night folks. Feels VERY good to have you back on board, Alex!

Well, while Rob is snoring away, maybe you could find one or two good ones and PM him about them (if you haven't done so already)?

Man - what an awesome gig yeah? Working at a 'Space Centre' while being a rompin good musician. Some people have all the luck

Roger that -- G'night mate. Thanks

remember too, this is in m3 format, so might be a bit lossy, although i did export it at 320 kbps, and you'll definitely be able to tell the difference.

Stream/Download: HERE

peace!

Well I for one am impressed as all hell.

Hey thats great! thanks man. means alot comeing from the author.

Ok, gotta get more mastering done and finish my track up.

peace!

We're at 33 preorders.

That's $825 minus PayPal fees, so we're around $800 I think. This is moving in the right direction!

koolkeys · Post by **koolkeys** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 6:13 am

Remember, mine is still coming. I'm just sorting something out with my PayPal account. But I will pre-order one.

A little birdie just texted me (using griels expression) that we might have some REALLY GREAT NEWS very shortly...

Stayed tuned to this frequency!
