I’ve done more work on exporting the sequences from the .prj files from the first upload of stuff (the MPC 1000 Backup folder). I’ve messed around and still can’t find something like the Maschine files where it will play the proper song sequence, so these are structured like “FUGITIVE” was yesterday (which is also included in this new archive). | I’ve done more work on exporting the sequences from the .prj files from the first upload of stuff (the MPC 1000 Backup folder).

With all this being said, all this stuff we are digging in is basically bits of music produced by the band (considering that this is Mike MPC, most of this songs were created by him) and that means that most of them are just ideas / things that he created and were not necessarily used in official material (studio album or LPU stuff), we have scrapped stuff, reused stuff, abandoned stuff and maybe things that would / will be reused someday (like Word's on Fire drums, probably material abandoned by the band that Mike decided to reuse) | With all this being said, all this stuff we are digging in is basically bits of music produced by the band (considering that this is Mike MPC, most of this songs were created by him) and that means that most of them are just ideas / things that he created and were not necessarily used in official material (studio album or LPU stuff), we have scrapped stuff, reused stuff, abandoned stuff and maybe things that would / will be reused someday (like Word's on Fire drums, probably material abandoned by the band that Mike decided to reuse) | ||
Things like that are generally stored or trashed without coming out to the general fan base. We already saw in some making of's that LP produces a lot of music and they consider most of them as "bad" or "trash", and a big percentage of what is produced isn't used. We are listening to bits and little pieces of those 95% that happened to leak | |||

In June 2019 over 9,400 audio files from Mike Shinoda's library of samples and sounds surfaced online. They dated from ''The Hunting Party'' sessions as far back as to the Xero and Hybrid Theory days and many of them were accompanied by project files. In the light of this discovery, the LPLive comminuty has come together in a collaborative effort to figure out how to open the projects and recreate the songs contained in them. Community members LPPanther, michalangelo, letdownagain, ArmoredMexican, graveguard, lpliveusername and SasstielExperience worked hard for over two months in order to bring the demos to life. Justin, Hahninator and bruh009 also have contributed to the analysis of the content and DCrecelius created artwork for each collection of demos. | In June 2019 over 9,400 audio files from Mike Shinoda's library of samples and sounds surfaced online.

The result is a digital boxset they've called ''Hybrid Party Of A Thousand Things'' featuring demos created for ''Hybrid Theory'', ''A Thousand Suns'', ''Living Things'' and ''The Hunting Party'' amounting to a total of 228 tracks.

There are early versions of previously released songs and remixes from Recharged along with previously known titles that had never seen the light of day and many completely new titles, including an unreleased song created for the ''[[LP Recharge]]'' game and a couple of demos that seem to have evolved into "[[World's On Fire]]" on Mike Shinoda's ''[[Post Traumatic]]'' album. | ||
All of this gives an insight into Linkin Park's writing process. Mike is constantly working on new music while on tour, as evidenced by titles such as "JoBurg" and "Auckland2013". Some demos have been revisited while they were creating the next album and some of the sounds created for a song have been repurposed for others. Samples created back when the band was first starting were still being used up to 2013-2014 either for new songs or during live shows. | |||
None of the demos are complete songs and besides some voice samples, none of them have vocals. They are simply seeds, early ideas for what the songs would eventually become. Hence why most of them are so short. Also, some of the project files didn't contain a song view, only sequences (patterns), so what you'll get for some of them are simply the sequences being played one after another. This is the case for 'Al_Intro,' 'Invader,' 'Ugh,' 'Hemispheres,' 'Jungle Gym,' 'Return,' 'Mirrors,' 'Slammie,' 'Humanoid,' 'Midnighs,' and many of the A Thousand Suns demos. 'LA' and 'Atari' were left as various tracks because they were special cases where each one of their sequences had a different tempo. | None of the demos are complete songs and besides some voice samples, none of them have vocals.

Those samples allow fans to have an additional taste of unreleased demos included in the other 4 discs such as "Apes", "Spirals", "Lorax" and "Casino" as well as full-length versions of "Bruiser" and "Space Station". Since the "KeroDrums" project from ''A Thousand Suns'' was empty, this disc features the only version of "Kerosena" available to the public. Because the samples are only available in mp3 format, the lossless version comes with the first six tracks only. This is due to the original .OGG files having a bitrate very close to 320kbps. | ||

Welcome to Linkinpedia!
Started in June 2015 alongside Fort Minor's comeback and released on September 19, 2016, this is a project by LPLive (Linkin Park Live) to create the most accurate wiki on the Internet for Linkin Park and their side projects. Instead of integrating a wiki inside our own website, we made the decision to launch a wiki as a brand new, standalone project.
The wiki contains over 500 pages of content and information ranging from the background information of songs to their live histories. We're launching Linkinpedia as a "work in progress" - there are missing pages AND there is missing info in the current pages. With hundreds of articles written, it will take some time to properly complete the wiki.
Due to fans and anyone being able to freely edit Wikipedia and other Linkin Park wikis, misinformation has spread throughout the community along with an incredible amount of inaccuracies about the band. Since Linkinpedia will be locked to the public and written, reviewed, and posted by members of LPLive's staff, we hope to correct any common mistakes out there about Linkin Park as well as to inform you as accurately as possible all about the band, their releases, their live shows and tours, and much more.
Feel free to browse Linkinpedia via the column on the left of the page. Fans and site members are welcome to submit corrections, mistakes, and more information to Linkinpedia via a link on the left.

We fact check all of our information before adding it to Linkinpedia, hence why it took over 15 months and 13,000~ page edits to just launch the project. We always cite as many sources as possible for new information, and we use the highest available quality for artwork that we add.
Linkinpedia / LPLive does not own any artwork or any pictures, and we're not using any for profit, etc. We will remove any photo by request. Our Photo Disclaimer, the same as LPLive's, can be found here.
This wiki is written by the fans, for the fans, with the goal of becoming the number one source of reliable, factually-correct Linkin Park information on the Internet. <metadesc>Linkinpedia is the internet's most comprehensive guide to Linkin Park.</metadesc> <metadesc content="Linkinpedia is the internet's most comprehensive guide to Linkin Park." /> {{#description2:Linkinpedia is the internet's most comprehensive guide to Linkin Park.}}
