Re: BU1B22 2024 SOTS Preseason Packs
The project has officially started. I thought I'd explain my order of operations, just so everybody understands the length that it takes to do this.
There are three phases to this project: walk up/warm up song research, stadium specific audio research, and file building.
In phase 1, it's strictly research into hundreds of games. I pull a list of players from the team I'm working on that played at least one game (needs at bats or pitching appearance). From there, I view games from most recent backwards. I sometimes eliminate players that had no home appearances. Keep in mind that these players aren't necessarily tied to that team because the offseason has a lot of moves.
Phase 2 is also strictly research, but based off of unique stadium sounds. This is the most difficult for me, because I'm not at these games. This is the phase I need input from the community to make it accurate.
Phase 3 is when I take the research and make files. As the players aren't tied to teams yet, I just make simple files. An example would be if Cody Bellinger had 3 walk up songs, I would make 3 files (Bellinger,Cody1, Bellinger,Cody2, Bellinger,Cody3). The player database when done is quite large, but it makes pack building really easy.
The order of work for me usually goes in order of team success. I usually hit the playoff teams last because sometimes players change songs for the playoffs. Here's my current order: Oakland, Kansas City, Colorado, Chicago AL, Los Angeles AL, Washington, St. Louis, New York NL, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Boston, San Francisco, Cincinnati, New York AL, San Diego, Chicago NL, Seattle, Tampa Bay, Toronto, Milwaukee, Miami (Arizona, Atlanta, Baltimore, Houston, Los Angeles NL, Minnesota, Philadelphia, and Texas still playing).
If anyone has info that they wanna throw my way, I will give you credit for your help in the project.
