Heyo.


I had originally planned to release Ego, Scuffled and Cheshcore Forever and some other songs all together as Cheshcore Vol. 2, but since I have no idea when I'll be able to finish those songs due to other projects taking priority, I'm going to delay Cheshcore Vol.2 instead and release Ego, Scuffled and Cheshcore Forever as the EP "Cheshcore, Vol. 1 Extras". This way they'll finally be on Spotify, iTunes and all other platforms.


I apologize for taking so long to do this, I had really hoped I would be able to finish all tracks for Cheshcore Vol. 2.


The Madness Interactive Reloaded OST is almost finished, and so is the game. The current track count is 11 but may increase. Once the OST is finished it'll be released on all platforms as well.

You can follow the development progress of the game on the official website here https://studiominus.nl/blog/.


The MC9 remake is currently on hold as other projects have taken priority over it.


I'm going to try and be more active on Twitter, if you'd like to see more common updates follow me https://twitter.com/Lothyde


That's all for now, Lothyde out.

I created this post because this is something I feel needs to be out there regarding my Remasters/Remake/Remixes of original MC tracks, as I feel there are a lot of misconceptions.


First of all, a clarification on what I mean when I say remaster, remake, remix. When you see these terms being used by me I mean exactly this:


  • Remaster: The original audio stems/project files are used and worked on with the intent to improve quality. It's the same samples, same arrangement, same sounds, no new melodies, drum loops or other samples.


  • Remake: The track is remade completely from scratch.


  • Remix: To take elements of the original tracks and add something new to them.


Why I choose to remaster:


  • To gain experience in mixing and mastering.
  • To try out and experiment with new techniques.
  • To have fun while doing so.


Why I chose MC tracks specifically:


  • They've been a big part of my life and my childhood.
  • I am obsessed with them.
  • I want to know them better, see their insides, understand how they were made.
  • I am curious to listen how these songs would sound if they were mixed and mastered to different standards.


Why I choose to remake:


  • Strictly because I don't have access to the original project files/stems. In the case of the Madness Combat series, a lot of old projects were lost. This means that in order to fulfil the desires I stated above, the only option I have is to completely remake them.


Common misconception about the remakes/remasters:


  • They are not intended to replace the originals.
  • They are not meant to be better (after all, music is subjective)
  • They have been released for those who, like me, are curious to listen how these tracks would sound if they were mixed differently. I would have have happily kept them for myself otherwise.
  • I have no rush in releasing them, it could be tomorrow or in 10 years, literally.
  • I am not interested in making remixes. Remixing does not achieve the desires I stated above.
  • The remakes/remasters are not meant to be finished, I will keep coming back to them to apply new techniques as I learn them throughout my career. In my opinion, for this type of project it should be ok to have different versions of the track, kind of like updates for a game. Except there is no intent for a specific version to be objectively better than the last.


Things I want to do in the future:


  • To keep remaking/remastering any track I enjoy but only if I have Cheshyre's permission.
  • To assemble a team with people that have the same goals as I in order to avoid redundant work.
  • To keep coming back to old remakes/remasters and improve them.


Other nonsense I get told:


  • "What you are doing is pointless, not needed and/or a waste of time." Correct in the sense that the originals don't need replacements, but the main goal of my work was never to replace anything and I have never claimed such a thing. It's not pointless or a waste of time for me because it provides me with entertainment by doing what I love (audio design, mixing and mastering), and also provides me with experience and a place where I can practice and learn techniques.
  • "The remasters sound simple, soft, and boring." And that's totally ok, you don't have to listen to them.
  • "The remaster of X was better!" First of all, if it has new sounds, it's not a remaster, and shouldn't even be target of comparison. But even if it was, that's totally ok, because you don't have to listen to them.


I hope that clarifies some terms and my intentions towards these types of projects.
