    @Grant I did, it's on his server and I've asked him today the best way to link to it publicly.

    Yes, ultimately I should try to discuss the results in a way that is helpful to future kickstarter-ers. The amount of music we aimed for was ambitious and very challenging, but ultimately it was worth it.

    About 500gb+, too much for my home bandwidth. I'm looking at a few options though which should work

    The End is Near - In a Good Way

    Good news. Editing is complete, we are now mixing the music and adding finishing touches. I am spending all of my time listening through everything very carefully. We are close enough that I'm going to be submitting an order for t-shirts this week, and begin preparing everyone's gifts. 

    I will send an update before everything is mailed, in the meantime I am figuring out a way to get the original ProTool files online so donors can download them and mix things themselves

    Thanks for your patience and for sticking through this with me, hopefully you will all be as pleased as I am with the final result.

    @Johannes The first round of edits is done, I've hired someone to help polish as I felt there are some things left that will produce a better result. I have been told that will take roughly 2 weeks. The masters are online and if the editing takes too long I'll release those separately so people can start to have fun with the music. The shirts are waiting on the recordings since I have to mail them together for most people. So I would say 2-3 weeks to be safe, longer than that I'll start releasing the master recordings and what has been edited so far

    They're ready and waiting for the video/music to be finished.

    Hi Kyle, Things are going well. I just finished uploading all the master recordings to archive.org (took two weeks!). We're close to finishing the edited versions but have a lot of music to go through ( in addition to the orchestral music) so it will be a few more weeks. If things continue to take too long I'll start releasing the music in chunks so people have access sooner. It's fun work but takes a lot of time to listen to so many hours of recordings.

    @Ethan @Harald Yes but its not public yet. I want to make sure all the music is 100% before I say we have it, in case the final edit is not good enough. But all the original files will be online regardless for those interested.
