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.

Creator Aaron Ritter on May 30, 2012
Wow, it's been a long road since i first heard about Kickstarter via this project back in 2010. Happy to see it still going well!
Creator Alan Light on May 27, 2012
This is awesome, and I know you put a great deal of effort into it. Thanks!
Creator Aaron Dunn on May 22, 2012
@Grant I did, it's on his server and I've asked him today the best way to link to it publicly.
Creator Geoffrey Lehr on May 22, 2012
Yay, congrats!
Creator Grant Diffey on May 22, 2012
Aaron That's awesome re the protools files did you talk to @JasonScott of archive.org?
Creator Rubberman on May 22, 2012
Great news Aaron! I've been wondering how progress is coming along, and am looking forward to the end results!
Creator Aaron Dunn on May 22, 2012
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.
Creator RP Phillips on May 22, 2012
I'm beting this project turned out to be about 1.000 times harder to complete than you originally hoped. :) I'm glad you were willing to see it through.

> I'm looking at a few options though which should work
Torrent, maybe?
Creator Aaron Dunn on May 22, 2012
About 500gb+, too much for my home bandwidth. I'm looking at a few options though which should work
Creator JesusFreke on May 22, 2012
How big are the original protools files, out of curiosity? Maybe you could set up and seed a torrent for them?
Creator Paul Chaplin (@CottlestonPie) on May 22, 2012
Excellent news, Aaron. I'm really looking forward to the finished result. :D Thank you for the update, and for your continued hard work.
Creator MBybee on May 22, 2012
