Ahh how long would it take for a mix?  So I can set a deadline to get things going

Catalyst?

omg sorry I didn't notice you were calling me *jumps into hole*
Hmm mixing for me shouldn't take too long after timing's all set. Perhaps 1-2 days for volumes and effects!
Oh btw I've been wondering if Riyumi's harms are posted somewhere?

No problem~

Uhh about Riyumi's harmonies I'll send over a pm and see how that goes because I dont see them in this post either

Apologies! I just got back home after finals/Yellowstone trip/Bridal Shower with my family. 

Before I knew it, I slept the day away when I was suppose to record all the lines I signed up for before finals QnQ  If you would give me a day or two (my dad got called in for night shift tmrw), I could practice the lines once more and hopefully have them by tomorrow night. If not, the night after that the earliest. Also, it may not be upper harms because the music sheet has the melo, plus a mix of mid and lower harms. I'll see what I can come up with the video Catalyst used & decide whether or not I'll make up my own upper harmonies or do a mix of mid/low. 

On another note, before you delve into the mixing like crazy Catalyst, I'm going to repost my melody lines since I may have accidentally exported the lines at 120 MP3. I'll increase the quality to 320 or make it a wav file. Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Alrighty~

Thanks for the update !

Oops! I've already did a mixdown 
For now this is how it sounds: https://app.box.com/s/nvmkijclqy5566zuk9a1g3bz2ojwj35t
I accidentally exported with too much volume gain (now there's a few soft glitches during louder parts XP), but it should reflect how it sounds in general=w=
Tell me if there's anything you'd like to change!

Oh I'm so sorry that you have to do extra work! ; ^ ;

As for my constructive critique, I'll edit this when I'm back on the computer so I can give you specific lyrics and times, but since I'm on mobile...here's the generalization:

I really love how the melodies are well balanced and well transitioned between each singer (excluding my own because of the poor quality difference; I apologize for that. It's not as noticeable when I sing with someone else, but more apparent when solo ><;; I will fix that) 

What probably could use work is the balance between Melos and harmos. I thought you did well with DNA at the beginning, but for the rest of the song---I have to listen really hard for Decetan. I understand that harmonies should be in the background, but I don't think it should be a strain to listen to either for the melody's compliment. This is just my opinion, though, so I'm not sure if the others think the same/if you should change it. It's up to you and Decetan. 

Also, would it be too much trouble if you can tell me if I held "on my soul" long enough? I know I was short on the last one (on my role?), but I can't tell if it's me that is too short. The discrepancy in length kind of bugs me (since I notice it). 

Compared to the original mix down, however, I don't even recognize the mic difference I heard between Decetan and (oh shoot I forgot her name--I shall insert it here later). Nicely done! It sounds wonderful ;v; ily Cata-chan~~

AHHH IM CRYING TEARS OF JOY CATALYST YOURE TRULY AMAZING <3 

I listened to your mix about 10 times and didnt pick up anything wrong with it ;;
I think it's just fine 
I don't have a problem with the way the harmonies are?  I think I can hear them just well 

I'll post Mantou's opinion when she replies ^^

Mantou says the harmonies are fine 

Uhh but I'm listening to it more and maybe I'm being a bit too conscious about it but I think its the areas where we all sing that the harmonies should be louder?  maybe?  maybe not;;

My ears aren't the best at picking up these things ^^;;

but I mean I really like the mix overall

Hmm...so harms louder at chorus parts? No prob!
 (Actually if Riyumi's gonna do extra harms, I guess I'll leave Dece's harm at current volume, or maybe pan it a bit more?)

Sounds good (y)

Alrighty! Here they are :>  

The harmonies are in wav format and I also put the retake of the melody in wav.

Also about the art 
Our artist has been really busy but they should be done by June 3rd, a deadline we both setup. 

Here's a sketch of what she has so far...  It's gorgeous. <3
It's only of me and Mantou right now tho but I'll update again when there's more progress.

Her words:  "Ignore the diff sizes, slight disproportions, yadda yadda. I can fix that when i draw digitally"  -Our artist, Eula

Thank you Riyumi!

OMFG. so gorgeous *^* I can't wait to see the final product <3~ (also, did I ever give a ref? I can't remember)


No problem Catalyst ;D

Yeah I got a ref lol 
In a few pages before ^^

updated with riyumi's new lines and harm:

YOURE AMAZING CATALYSTTTT <333

Yes Catalyst is <333

Heyyyy 

Sorry it's been a while since an update

@Catalyst can you make Riyumi a little bit softer?  It's this one part at 0:27 "Chigaku" 
I don't know maybe its just me that thinks it needs to be adjusted? 

Also art is going to take a little while longer so stay tuned;;

No problem!

Cool THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

i'll use this as a final then~

Just waiting on art and I can animate (or find someone to animate for us)

thank youu <3

I'm so sorry I've been away for months (not really)

But what happened was the artist backed out once I reminded her after some time
Not blaming her 

SO!
What I'll do is during my upcoming winter break (in about a week and a half) I'll be working on the video
Just the original pv and maybe a few flashing names
Or I might render a few pics or something

But just letting you all known that this is still working out
Im so sorry ;;

Sorry and thank you ^^;;
