Dear dancey
All inputs are welcomed! Two heads are better than one, and many heads are better than some as long as there is a head who can take the final responsibility.
Of course, negotiations and changes in a plan are never fun, but if we setup this right, this can be used as a template for any future project offers, unless the cost changes significantly. We will do our best to match the passion fans have.

Dear Teioh
Plan 2 was actually going all digital distribution, and lower the pledge goal to $12,000 (a mini album) with extended goals, and this is a plan best suits for VGMC, but few people liked
Many people have expressed a want of a physical copy. Also, many Star Fox supporters have wrote to VGMC that an album should have 20min or more. This idea is based on the orchestral album of Star Fox Assault, which comes with 20min of music, 9 tracks.
By the way, the duration like "20min ~ 36min" calculated based on a fact any good professional orchestra can produce a finished recording of roughly 3:30 to 7:30 per hour. If the music is easy, it could produce 10min of music per hour. For a small album, we plan to use two 3-hour sessions. So, the minimum estimate is 3.5 x 6 = 21.5min (so this is where 20min comes from), and the usual average of 6min x 6 = 36min total.
So, this "20min ~ 36min" is a very conservative estimate. Again, if the music is moderate in difficulty, we could hit 40min or up.
By the way, in the Hollywood or London, we can only record maximum of 7.5min per hour. That is the union rule.
