  1. A small collection of sweet, romantic ReMixes to share with someone you love. Several of these arrangements feature vocals, most feature acoustic guitar; all of them brought joyful tears to my eyes and thoughts of my spouse. 🥹

  2. I have submitted Star Fox: Double Wing Damage to OverClocked Remix project panel. Now all we must do is wait and see what's next! Great job, everyone! I am so proud to have worked on this album and I'm appreciative of all your support and hard work! Everyone did awesome! We did Fox McCloud proud!

  3. If no problem with that, I'd be glad to join this album too, for the first time. After all, there's no strict quality controls or anyone being nitpicky with mixing on this one, right? :D You say any source is okay, even if not VGM, but just asking: are original compositions allowed, too? Because it sounds more tempting to try something original but influenced by good weather (aka cold and snow haha). If this is only about arrangements/remixes of other things, the source I'm thinking of is "Ary" from Tales of Phantasia. The original is slow and chill as heck, but I'd love to try something a lot faster and upbeat, in the style of the so-called "doujin" artists from the 2000s like I-Chu, Akineko, U-Gen, etc. I can totally see the vibe fitting this style and still fitting the theme, kinda sounding like some weirdo is having fun running with a skate all around the streets of an empty city because everyone is busy at their homes with family and stuff, just a funny concept I'm toying with mentally :D

  5. I'm 100% in! The only question is, what source am I going to do. I have a couple of ideas.

  6. Project update: Album's done, there are no more loose ends (When it was submitted in October there were one or two items that I was tying up behind the scenes). It's now entirely up to OCR and their staff to create the package, trailer, etc., and deliver some fantastic music for y'all. Thanks for your immense patience, it will be worth it!

  9. Project Director: @Darkflamewolf (Director of Arcadia Legends, Mizar Attacks!, and SeeDs of Pandora) Project Concept: After much prodding and poking by a multitude of people/remixers, wanting me to get this Star Fox album project off the ground, I decided it's high time to get the pitch started! Hot off my take on the SeeDs of Pandora album, I figured we could do a similar thing where we had 'themed' discs with tracks that best matched the core essence of what the disc was aiming to be. However, since I'm not sure the overall interest and response to this album, I'm not going for a large multi-5-disc album like the FF8 one. Instead, I'm going to start off with a smaller 2-disc scope and see if we expand from there or get enough tracks to fill the entire ambition. To sign up, you must join the Community Remix Album Collaborations Discord server. We use it to communicate between all members on the project and makes things insanely easy to coordinate and keep track of the project as a whole. Once there, you can find the Google Form to submit your claim on a track and be part of the project! Discord Link: https://discord.gg/CtJ2a8kjRy The two Disc types*: - ACTIVE: You can interpret your chosen track into any genre/type of music you want, but it needs to maintain the frenetic feel of the original track. It's basically giving the Star Fox fan more of what they want. They got a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat Corneria theme? Well, we'll give them that and THEN SOME. Keep it active! Make it hard, fast, loud, crazy - go wild! These are tracks I want to really turn my speakers up high and just rage/rock out to! Let the walls pound with the beat. Note: But what if you want to remix a slower song from the OSTs into a crazy, active style? YOU SURE CAN! If it is active and fast, it belongs on this disc, regardless of the original source tune. - INTERPRETIVE: This disc is for everyone not looking for those crazy times, but wants to explore the melodies and themes beyond their original incarnations. Complete freedom of genre, style and mood. You can stay within the genre/style/mood of the original track or you can go off in wild new directions with it and remix it in a way nobody has ever thought of. Can we have active tracks on this disc? Sure, but those probably won't be the focus, but that's not stopping you from making some beats. This is truly the 'freedom to remix' disc. So, if the first disc was giving Star Fox fans more of what they loved, this is giving something they never knew they needed! Be unexpected! Don't repeat what has been done before - do something fresh and new with these tracks if you can! * - More discs and their types will be added depending on how big this balloons as a community project. --- QUESTION: What if a track has already been claimed by another, but it's for the ACTIVE disc and I want to do the same song more INTERPRETATIVE, can we both claim it? ANSWER: YES! However, this is the only instance doubles can exist. We can't have two Star Fox 64 Corneria's on the ACTIVE disc, but we can have one Star Fox (SNES) Corneria on the ACTIVE disc and one Star Fox 64 Corneria on the INTERPRETIVE disc. One variant per disc. Likewise, each Corneria theme is different from game to game, so we CAN have Star Fox (SNES) Corneria on the ACTIVE disc and a Star Fox 64 Corneria on the ACTIVE at the same time since, if you listen, they are different themes for the same place - this also applies to any track claims on the INTERPRETIVE disc. QUESTION: What if a track I want to claim isn't on these track listings? ANSWER: Then when you fill out the Google submission form on the Discord server, claiming a track, request it to be added to the list and that you're claiming it! --- TRACK LIST I am listing all available tracks from all Star Fox games, but that does not mean they all need to be claimed/covered. We'll take whatever we can get, but this album is meant to be a tribute to the series as a whole, thus the entire listing.

  10. Fixes The MP3s for two recent remixes had some unintented skipping due to an error in the upload process. Those files have been updated and redistributed across our mirrors. Please update your local collections accordingly. Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket "At the Drop of a Coin Flip" Silent Hill 4: The Room "Dreamy Ring Around the Forest" News Final Fantasy V: The Fabled Warriors is spinning up again with auditions open for Volume 3: Fire. Head to the audition event for details. Speaking of Projects, we've setup a new Project Comms forum that offers a direct channel to OCR's Project Staff (lead by @Kit Vivid) for all of your coordination needs. The threads you make are private, so only you and staff will see it. If you're currently running any album projects, head over there and setup a dedicated thread for each one. This will help Kit and the rest of the staff keep up with questions and communications about files, consent forms, album art, etc. Coming off rebuilding the Submissions system as a forum module and building the 8Tracks feature, I'm experimenting more with creating some tools for album project directors to play with in conjunction with the forum's Clubs feature. If you're an album project director and you're interested, head over to the OCR Discord and ask me about it. We'll see if we can get you set up. That's all for now. Stay tuned for more fun stuff on the horizon! -- DarkeSword

  11. Tracks updated! ♥ I might be utilizing the forum's 'CLUBS' function here for this, as suggested by DarkeSword himself. :) I've also got access to the CRAC server as admin / album director, so I will be adding channels for AOCC and AOCH there as well, soon. :D Here's the link to the server, if you're not already on there! -- https://discord.gg/wKyadaTT And as a bit of a surprise, The Coop and I are working on the front and back covers for this!! Yay! Progress! :3 Official website details are still up in the air, but I'll be touching base with @tibonev & @colorado weeks on that ASAP. Hang ten, guys! Looking forward to hearing your WIPs! 🎃🥰

  15. Take my orchestration of Sonic: His World + original for a spin. YouTube link - Link to FLP+MIDI - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Q7XB9RxuJy-a3X4BkgCtdaYZFVqbX5qg?usp=drive_link This FLP + MIDI is only for educational purposes, please don’t repost it as your own. The FLP should function flawlessly if you’re using the same libraries and plugins I use, however underneath you will see a list of the libraries I used to make this orchestration. I also used Kontakt 5 to make this. Keys - The Giant (Piano), Cineharps (Concert Harp, Harp 2, Harp 3), Celesta (Kontakt Factory Library), Marimba (Kontakt Factory Library), Xylophone (Kontakt Factory Library) Strings - Cinematic Strings 2, Metropolis Ark 1, Fluid Shorts, Jaeger Brass - Jaeger, Metropolis Ark 1, 8Dio Century Brass Ensemble Choir - Metropolis Ark 1, Oceania Woodwinds - Metropolis Ark 1, Albion 1, Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover Sololists - Tina Guo Cello Legato Percussion - 8Dio Epic Dhol, 8Dio Epic Toms, Rhapsody Orchestral Percussion (Timpani, Snare, Cymbals & Gongs) I also have iZotope Ozone 8 and OTT on the master. There’s a chance I missed mentioning using a library since orchestral projects can become quite large. I’m only human, hopefully this is helpful. Take care Peshtiwar

  21. Well, good news regarding my track: I already managed to assemble an awesome team of performers to join! 2 guitarists (for rhythms and leads separately), bassist, drummer, clarinetist, keyboardist... that'll be like a real great band. I got some progress with the video already, which, sure, not a requirement for the album at all haha but I'm doing it more of my own, as a kind of concept thing to better show the ideas. Basically inspired by classic horror movies in general and Nightmare on Elm Street in particular. All is going really well so far and everyone involved has plenty of time, so unless shit happens last minute, I have some good expectations with it. Excited to see what everyone else is cooking as well :)

  22. I was wondering if someone could do a remix of the track Beneath the Earthen Womb (Song). Maybe done in a style evocative of a mother's lullaby to her child. Not necessarily with Lyrics, but something soft and warm

  23. Hey! Your nickname sounds familiar. I especially remember you from your stuff in Vampire Variations. Nice to see you back :) Also this track sounds nice. MIDI Metal FTW! Simple and raw, just what sometimes we need. I can see that fitting pretty well in an early 90s shooter game like Doom or Duke Nukem.

  24. Hey all, I wanted to put feelers out for a Halo album since there's not much OCR content for it. Some notes: Timeline/Production - I'm gauging interest now and would plan on formally starting production in January/February 2026. - The plan would be to have it out-the-door right around Halo 3's 20th anniversary date of September 25th, 2007. - For visual assets, I can do a lot of branding and stuff directly. My girlfriend and I team up on art a lot (she illustrates), so we could most likely do key art for it as well. Remix Guidelines - Even though it's Halo 3's release date, sources from all Halo games are allowed. No "original trilogy only", spinoffs permitted, etc. to maximize the number of sources. - Similarly, no restrictions on genre or production style as long as it fits OCR's submission standards. - No tracklisting set in stone. We would just see what gets finished and sequence the tracks by vibes. If needed it could be more than one side/volume/disc. - Related, no "slots", within reason. If 3 people want to all cover Covenant Dance, that's fine, as long as we have more than like 5 tracks. - References to songs other than the source tune, non Halo-tracks, etc. are fine as long as the source is dominant. I have a list of popular/interesting source tunes in my next post, which covers Halo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (Infinite), as well as Wars, ODST, and Reach, which are spinoffs. There's a couple other spinoffs I'm not familiar with, mainly Halo Wars 2. Halo's early soundtracks are somewhat unique because they have a lot of Medieval and World influence despite being military sci-fi shooters. Each game tends to lean into a few genres for flavor - Halo 2 incorporates New Age and Alternative Rock, while ODST is a noir-influenced spinoff set in Kenya, so incorporates a lot more piano and saxophone, pounding tribal drums and basslines, etc. Additionally, if anyone is interested but is unfamiliar with the sources, you can give me some info on your style (or even reference tracks) and I can look for some specific source tunes for you.

  25. Hey all, I wanted to put feelers out for a Metroid Fusion EP/album. I have a more specific tracklisting/direction in mind than the Halo album idea, which is meant to be more franchise-wide. Timeline/Production - I'm gauging interest now and would plan on formally starting production in January/February 2026. - The plan would be to have it out-the-door right around Metroid Fusion's 25th anniversaries; either November 17th, 2027 (US) or February 14th, 2028 (JP). - For visual assets, I can be in charge of it unless someone else wants to be, along with my girlfriend helping with key art illustration. - The album art will probably be split down the middle because of the album theme. Remix Guidelines - This is similar to Double Wing Damage where there's a "traditional" half and an experimental half, however there are no restrictions on genre. Jazzy Sector 1, Breakcore Sector 3, etc. are all fair game. - The "traditional" part is that the first half's arrangements would be dominated by the source tune. Small references to other sources are fine. - The experimental or "Depths" tracks should fuse the Sector tracks with other sources, as only a few "Depths" songs exist in-game, and only one (Sector 4) is exclusive to that area. Tracklisting/Direction: The album would use "slots" and be 13-15 tracks total, with an A-side and a "Depths" side, like how Metroid games have expanded "depths" areas on revisit. Examples include Brinstar Red Soil's area or Phendrana Drifts Depths. Side A 1-1. Intro (I have something in mind for this) 1-2. Sector 1 (SRX) 1-3. Sector 2 (TRO) 1-4. Sector 3 (PYR) 1-5. Sector 4 (AQA) 1-6. Sector 5 (ARC) 1-7. Sector 6 (NOC) 1-8. Optionally there can be an interlude, probably referencing the Restricted Zone. ("Warning: No entry without authorization!") Side B (Depths) Not every Sector has "depths" music, so incorporating other sources is encouraged here. These can be area bosses, adjacent areas, etc. Some examples of non-Fusion Metroid combos could be NOC (a dark area) with VS Dark Samus or ARC (an ice area) with Phendrana Drifts. 2-1. Sector 1 Depths. Related sources: VS Arachnus-X, VS Neo Ridley 2-2. Sector 2 Depths. Related sources: VS Zazabi, Barrier Core-X, VS Nettori / Chozo Statue First Form 2-3. Sector 3 Depths. Related sources: Security Robot B.O.X., Sector 3 Emergency Situation, Crisis Mission 2-4. Sector 4 Depths (Underwater Area). Related sources: VS Serris/Yakuza 2-5. Sector 5 Depths. Related sources: VS Nightmare. (ARC + Nightmare = mix could be named "Cold Sweat"?) 2-6. Sector 6 Depths. Related sources: Security Robot B.O.X. 2-7. We can either end with 2-6 (vibes permitting) or have a dedicated finale/outro track. It would probably involve either Final Mission, Crisis Mission or the Credits theme. Note that the related Fusion sources aren't all-inclusive, and there's a lot of wiggle room. For example the BOX robot and the SA-X fight Samus in multiple sectors, Facing a Huge Reaction plays in like 3-4 sectors, etc. As long as you have a reason for your secondary source it's probably fine, and multiple people having the same secondary source is allowed. If there's interest I was thinking about taking either Sector 2 (TRO), TRO Depths, Sector 6 (NOC), or NOC depths and doing the Dark Samus thing I mentioned above.

Or with artworks or anything requiring image or video editing, which I do a lot too even though not a pro on these subjects either.

  32. Hey there! Apologies for the delay -- I have been extremely busy as of late, sorting a lot of stuff in my head and dealing with the auditions for an OCR album that recently had a resurgence. ^_^; I'll get back to this in no time! Thank you! Welcome aboard! :D I'm a big fan of creepy stuff, too. :) It's not too late at all. ♥ But if you have a rough WIP you'd like to send me via PM, I'd love to hear it, especially if it's the Boss Theme from Terranigma inspired by Bloody Mary herself! :P And I didn't know that about Terranigma's anniversary, so that would even be more hype! I'm happy to take it for a spin, and you're welcome to go find people to collab with, for both/either performing something or mixing the track. It might be best to do it via OCR's Discord server and ask around, but I plan on trying to master the tracks myself, so if you can find someone to help you do the mixing, that'd be ace. Would you like me to add your track to the list? ^_^ Sure! That'd be great. You can send me a WIP of it, or the complete version of it that is akin to the one you submitted to the Judges' Panel via PM here. It's OK if you cannot do an unmastered WAV of it, tho -- we can work around that somehow. :) Would you like me to add your track to the list? :D @Troyificus@The Coop@Unknown Pseudoartist -- I did receive your individual PMs, and I will get to them and reply ASAP. Once I get my head above water and see the results for the audition tracks come past the 30th of June, I'll be in a better spot to focus-in on your work. :) TYSM for your patience in the meantime, and sending me the mail!

  33. Congratulations! I missed an epochal event( I joined OCR sometime in 2010. It was an unexpected discovery! In fact, I got access to the Internet at the end of 2009 (I live in a village). The first thing I started looking for on the Internet was music.. I came across this place through tindeck when I was looking for something like covers for Contra Hard Corps. And Google gave me an artist like "Death by spoon" (AMT). My search led me here. What I found here blew my mind. I didn't even imagine that such a place was possible. Ironically, at that time I didn't find any CHC remixes on OCR, but I did find Sixto sounds, goat, Snappleman, lvl 99 and many others (sorry if I didn't mention you). I've learned a lot here. I'm thankful to this place and people who helped me in advice and direction(Rozovian is the best BOSS ever!) Of course, I had some complaints. Something I still don't understand here) But I liked this place and I hope to come back to this stream.. Thank YOU OCR PEOPLE!

  37. We removed this entire Review system from the PYGR forum years ago. It was not really used, placed a lot of stress and pressure on a small number of staff members, and just added a second, completely extraneous layer of bureaucracy to OCR's pipeline. Overall we're de-emphasizing tags across the forum. Most people did not use them in any meaningful way.

  39. Much better! About the arrangement, could you give the source? What I can say now. I really like the first half and the end after transition. About transition at 2'02-2'30, I find it sounds empty. Only the synthe and the bass drum before the rhythm really start. Even if I like the idea of a break before restart. I think it needs more development, by adding of some details. Maybe some minor rhythm variations, or adding of some note of high piano to remind other parts of the mix. You conclude by a fade-out, I’m not sure it’s appropriate for this kind of music. * About mixing, I can tell you what I feel, but I’m not familiarized with this kind of music. I think intro with synthe need humanisation. And also for other parts where this same synthe is in the foreground. At 2’35, I feel the snare is too a little too loud. Maybe it’s the same level as in the first half. But I feel this at this part. Good luck !

  42. I'm surprised how few tracks we have tagged with "lang-latin". Great track overall, this is now my preferred way to hear this theme.

  43. Mario Kart 64 Winner 2025-06-17 2248.mp3 You guys motivated me to update... Not very polished but here's a rough arrangement. Fleshed it out adding the "secret ending" bit for the second chorus, and an all new straight ahead groove that I want to flesh out the solos to more. A little reminiscent of Luigi's Raceway...

  44. I haven't seen the 11/8 time sig, proof that it's well done and fluidity. Hope we'll hear a new version:) Sounds good!

  45. 1. I like the different feel that you're going for. Makes it seems pretty different and original sounding. What distracts me a bit is how it sounds a little muddy. The song is already in a complex 11/8 which is already quite strange but what I noticed about the original is has really obvious chords that play on the first beat of the bar. This really holds it together in my opinion so maybe trying something similar to that might help give it clarity, unless you're wanting to make it quite ambiguous where the beat starts and ends. 2. If you're going for a synthwave sound, feel free to disagree with me here. My understand of the core aspects of synthwave come from the kinds of sounds used (80's or 80's inspired, which you already have some in there) but also, most synthwave songs usually have a drone bass playing, it often sounds really model and just keeps playing, usually semiquavers (8th notes). That being said, you don't need to actually include this, but if you want to sound synthwave, that's a really fast way to give it that sound. Now that might not work too well with it being 11/8, I'm not too sure but right now because of the pulsing feel. It feels almost like Synthetic Djent. Which I like the idea of but Djent is quite punchy and powerful, synthwave is more mellow and constant usually. It feels somewhere in the middle and that's not bad, maybe it needs to be worked on a bit more. You could be onto something quite original sounding 3. I agree with @bluelighter That it is a little short. Maybe consider adding a new section into the piece that has a different feel. Hell if you're feeling crazy, the idea of a synthwave version of this with singing involved and a piano solo like you've already got might slap really hard but I'm getting carried away. Another section you could consider is a really slow ethereal break where it's mostly slow pads and ambient. Here is the singing example I was reminded of. Love what you have so far. I'm just some rando so take or leave the advice. Good luck with developing the idea further :)

  48. I was introduced to the site in 2002 by DarkCecil13 (the younger brother of a high school classmate) and loved the idea immediately. Two favorite memories of many: 1) Years before I met her IRL, I was in touch with Jillian Aversa via the OC ReMix mIRC server, who swooped in at the last possible minute and scrambled to make gifts out of her debut album for all my groomsmen when my original idea fell through -- the first of many times she's been an incredibly gracious friend for almost half our lives. 2) I tell all my musician students that the ideal client is someone who you'd be happy to record for in exchange for tacos and vodka, but they insist on paying you a little bit of money as they hand you a drink. That person is OA, who is a delight both as a musician and as a fellow consumer of excellent Mexican food.

  49. The O in Of probably shouldn't be capitalized. It looks weird to me, and it's against what wikipedia's referenced style guides recommend. Dealbreaker? No. Bugs me? Yes. eval: The drums are strangely weak. The whole mix is a bit too soft. Not much. Find some remixes from here with a similar sound or style, and compare how loud they are. Try to put yours on roughly the same level. Err on the soft side, but make it louder than it is now. I'm not a fan of the choice of snare sound. It's too short and snappy, and too same-y when it feels like it should be more dynamic. I don't like the guitar sound either. There's a weird tapping sound at 2:30, probably part of the cymbal rise. I don't particularly like the piano-reverb sound. There's a sound probably from the piano's mechanisms that becomes rather prominent on the higher notes, and bleeds into the reverb as well. It might be possible to filter it out of the sound. If it's recorded audio, and includes the room sound, it might be difficult to get rid of it, but you can experiment with eq to try to reduce how prominent it is. The sound choices overall are good imo, but there's those little things that stand out. The arrangement is quite conservative, but the instrument choices are in part different, and the sound and elements like your piano intro set it apart. Can't say if it's sufficient, but I know I've been needlessly critical of this stuff in the past. Tough call. It sounds like a nice arrangement for a real band, and many of its shortcomings are because it's not played by a real band. There's a lack of detail to many of the sound choices and performances that I think a real performer would have done something about. Drums and acoustic guitar in particular. Dulcimer (or whatever) too. Electric guitar is well handled and shouldn't need more work imo. I think it's a mediocre remix. I don't mean that in a bad way. In many ways, it's neither notably good nor notably bad. It'd be nice to hear a higher level of performance (or illusion of performance) here, because I think the arrangement is worth it. Whether it's suited for ocremix is difficult to say. I'd definitely sub this, I'm just not sure how much work I'd put into it before subbing. Definitely raising the levels, looking into the piano eq thing, and trying to get more performance into some of the instruments. Just not sure how much. Nice work.
