Bumping this because i'm doing something related to the original topic, but a different flash. Might as well recycle the topic.
Cascade's on hold - it's so huge and i'm really not happy with the first two minutes. @_@
So, here's Caliborn: Enter soundified! It's only a preview but this one's blazing along pretty quickly.
The creepy laugh when English unfolds from his cairo overcoat's temporary. It probably won't be there in the final version <unless people want it to be o.o >
I don't have time to do a second by second analysis right now, but I can say that you did a fairly good job of integrating the sounds with the music. There were a few sounds that didn't seem to match (0:21 sounds too mechanical for the mystical Cairo Overcoat), but overall it sounded pretty good. I'll see if I can get a more in-depth analysis done tomorrow.
I'm not good at putting things into words, so lets hear from some people who are:

Regarding 0:21, are you sure you aren't mistaking the sounds for the big act 6 curtains for the cairo overcoat's? Because most of the mechanical stuff around there's for those.
0:00-0:18
This part is great, all the sounds match up well with the animation, particularly 0:05.
0:19-0:32
The hands of the curtain-clocks don't seem to be moving for some reason, check to see if that's just my computer.
The Cairo Overcoat is the main focus of the visuals, It should be the main focus of the sounds too, but it has no sound at all. Get the sound from 1:00 in here.
0:33-0:54
This part is excellent, particularly the disappearing noise at 0:33, and, the noise at 0:45 from before.
0:55-0:56
The sarcophagus appearing here is a bit weird; it appears quickly, but the fade-in makes it seem to be slower then the sound. I'm not sure how to deal with this, my best guess would be to try slowing down the last half of the sound you have by a tiny bit and see if that fits it better.
0:57-1:10
I like the flying sound here, except the bit at 1:05, which feels a little too sharp.
1:11-1:35
I'm not sure about the screaming here, as they seem to been less afraid, and more curious, but I'd get a second opinion on that. The scene switch sound is pretty good, but a little too loud.
1:36-end
This last part is spectacular, Lord English breaking out, the clanking chains as Caliborn sits up, and the noise as he opens his ankle cuff are great, but my favorite is the blinking eyes, it's just such a great noise, and it matches up rather well.
Off to a great start so far!
Edit: Most of this stuff is just me picking nits. The only major things I see are the lack of sound for the sarcophagus at the beginning, and the screaming near the end, and I still think you should get someone else's opinion on that.

Very nice breakdown. I appreciate it! It's helpful.
Most of the things you take issue with are easily fixed.
Because I can...
0:19-0:32: The sound for the Overcoat *is* there, actually. I'll just have to bump it up in volume, it seems. Also, yeah, the visuals are glitched. This is due to me importing the swf directly into premiere. Allows a high resolution, clean export at the proper frame rates and such, but some animation things here and there <not many, but a few> won't work. Minor loss.
0:55-0:56: I'll see what I can do.
1:05: Minor fix. Easy enough.
1:11:-1:35: Yeah, it's too loud. It's supposed to be there as a very subtle element as there's bound to be one or two who have a very good sense of what they're in for.
:3 I'll get the next part out soon.
Edit: Wait.
1:05? Are you sure that isn't the horrorterror? Meep.
...I may need to look into a revised flight sound for the sarcophagus. hmm. It's been a rough one to nail out.
((And with those words iT ascended to the godtier as the "Page of Top"
I'm still writing my troll intro by the way, I'll post it once it's done. ))

The 5th acends to godhood and becomes Godhead Pickle Inspecter. After PI wakes up, his dreamself vanishes leaving one extra dreamself. This one splits in two, sending one into the past and one into the future. The one in the past dies after solving a puzzle for Dick. The one in the future eventually splits again sending another pair into the past or future. Eventually, these two meet with the original two split dreamselves. They then split millions of times as ordered by GPI and become all matter. There is also the Gentlemanly Highbrow. He is like an old timey version of Pickle Inspector. However, he is a completely different person and probably doesn't count.
There, I hope that cleared everything up.

THE FRESH PRINCE OF RAGE
)
No just kidding. The real thing is underneath.
THE FRESH PRINCE OF HOPE
Now this is a story all about how,
My face got flipped, turned upside down,
And I'd like to take a minute,
So suck my bulge, "team,"
And I'll tell you how I became the Prince of the Bubbles in the Dream.
In some unspecific ocean, hatched and raised,
Above the sea and killin' fools is where I spent my days,
Chillin' out, relaxin', actin' all cool,
Shooting with the Crosshairs, 'cuz seriously, eff school.
When a couple a morons, who were up to no good,
Started playing Sgrub in the neighborhood.
My lusus got in one little fight, and now he's dead,
And I said "ANGELS I'M GONNA HAVE ALL OF YOUR F*CKING HEADS."
I blasted 'em and bombed 'em day after day,
And then I packed my stuff up and went away,
Blew the LOWAA a kiss and one last angel bit it,
Put my cool cape on and thought I might as well kick it,
First round yo, this is bad,
He's shootin' giant lasers from his eyes, no glass,
Is this what the people of LOBAF live like?
F*ck it then, this ain't alright.
But wait, then I'm passed out right on the ground,
And Fef's screaming at him, she slaps him around,
I don't understand why I lost, thought I was dope,
But this wasn't the end for the Prince of Hope.
Ah well the tensions were rising and when Sollux came out,
He took off his glasses, tried to blast me out,
I blinded him with science, Fef turned around, mad,
I shot her through the chest, now it was gettin' bad.
And Kan sees the whole thing and takes out her stick,
But then I 'splode the Matriorb, shoot her, Hope can suck my d*ck.
I transportalized out with the quickness like lightning, disappeared,
And soon it's Gam and Vris, oh no, my worst fears. (<--sarcasm)
Then Kan came up and she's a rainbow drinker,
Kicks Gamzee in the bone bulge, what a little stinker,
She CLOCKs Vriska in the face and she falls over screaming,
Kan looks at me, and her eyes are really steaming,
She DEBUNKS the Science Wand and stares at me real scary,
Then saws me in half like some charged-up super fairy,
And now I look at my kingdom, clingy douchebag? Nope.
Finally, FINALLY, I'm the Fresh Prince of Hope.
1,000 specularnaodm!!! Wow!

Holy crap.
I'm speechless.
No, literally, I've got no idea how to put this into words.
Since March, I've made so many friends, had better arguments than I've ever had in Mock Trial class, and generally just had whole loads of fun here on MSPAF.
Who CARES if one of my fanventures is on a ridiculous procrastination-induced hiatus.
Who CARES if there are a couple people on the forums I just can't stand.
Who CARES if the one RP thread I'm in is in Dead Mode,
WHO GIVES A CRAP.
This is a great community, and y'all are lucky to be in it.
Keep on Homestuckin'.

Re: [S] Caliborn: Enter - With sounds! <WIP> [Updated 10/6]
I kind of want to do the voice myself, actually, since I could use the practice, but tell you what;
If I attempt my voice for it and I just don't find it good enough or i'm just unhappy with it, I'll notify you for what I need. Sound good?
Re: [S] Caliborn: Enter - With sounds! <WIP> [Updated 10/6]
Wow. this is really awesome! You are doing a good job with Caliborn enter. The sounds are good and it is perfect timing. Can't wait to see it when it's done!
