July 17, 2008 - Some last tracks have been added on my Still To Come Page which are in the final edit of version 4.5 of my superhero audio anthology. I will begin the archival pressing today. My final press stats for this version are as follows:
1,564 total audio tracks bounded onto 24 CDs that will take you 30 hours: 32 minutes: & 36 seconds to listen to from beginning to end.
Once pressed, there is a long process that follows to archive all the tracks individually as master recordings from which I may later burn true digital copies. Plus, they all have to be individually tagged for CD players with readers. But I am very excited to get started and listen to this myself. Because of the care given during this burn process, each archival disc takes about 30 minutes to press. So getting all 24 done may take some time.
Anyway, the process begins right now. Next 'Theme News' Thursday will detail more so you can follow the progress. Don't miss it.
July 24, 2008 - Well fans...I've got a lot of work ahead of me getting version 4.5 of THE INCREDIBLE SUPERHERO THEME SONG CDs finalized. Plus, most of my site pages are out of sync with all the additions to the track lists (this includes CD stats, genre stats, and further CD disc designs). As a result, my weekly 'Theme News' Thursday updates will be suspended until September 18, 2008. They will resume on that date and all affected pages will be updated and made current at that time. Plus, Super-Samples of all the amazing new tracks will debut then too.
Now that the master archival files have been pressed as far as their audio quality is concerned, the tracks all need to be labeled for CD players to correctly read their names and other information. The sheer number of total tracks slows me down as I have to edit each single master file twice, and do so one at a time. Additionally, realizing that MP3s are more played than CDs nowadays, I will (after the labeling) make high quality WMA files from my recordings that all players can convert to their native formats; including iPods. And these will be complete with full tags. Plus, I have developed a scheme to keep the collection from getting lost among your other songs and always easy to find/get to.
When done, all tracks and this site will be current and ready as I'm hoping to offer you opportunities sometime later in September. So don't forget, mark your calendars, and get ready for a host of updated pages when I return on September 18, 2008. Plus, when you hear all the new samples, you'll know why this particular compilation is the premier collection of superhero audio files in the world. With no pops, no hisses, and spanning in range of all media forms from 1939 to today, you'll understand why this assemblage can only be called... THE INCREDIBLE SUPERHERO THEME SONG CDs. Whatever your favorite song, always keep it in flight and in your memories. Be here in September and don't miss out!
