The Newbie Introduction Thread: Come on in and say hello!

[xamgis]

Welcome to you hillarygayle. Good to have you here. :)

[CapnHulk]

Afternoon, everyone!

Another n00b here, though only by my registry date. I have frequented this site to download music for AGES, but have just never bothered to register on the boards until now.

Anyway, nice to be here!

Welcome.

Yes, welcome. Trust me, once you get to know people here, the OCR forums are a great privledge. Just stay out of un-mod :wink:

Hint for all you newcomers:

Don't talk to CapnHulk http://www.whorehouze.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/pillepalle.gif

Another hint: don't be scared of UnMod - most of the scary hentai is in clearly marked threads, anyway ;-).

What is "GenDisc"?

[FlankingLine]

What is "GenDisc"?

It is the General Discussion forum (now just the "General" forum). It is the primary forum on OCR and the most recently posted in threads there are displayed on the front page. The forum is moderated, but not too heavily (you don't need to censor your language).

Just FYI, this wasn't just in response to you, but to anyone else who is interested.

[CapnHulk]

Just read through the newb/tech help forum, and try not to make any topics like "OMG CLOUD FROM FF7 IS SECKZY!!!1" and you'll be JUST fine.

Some people never learn this though.

Like Little Johnny Urine. Watch out for him. Can't spell even if his life was on the line. I say we nuke him, and get it over with.

[~Link_Master~]

I'm new here, (duh) and just wanted to say "hi". Hi. I've been downloading Remixes for a long time, and love them a lot. I'm a musician and a gamer. It's all I do, and I don't know anyone that plays more games than me. I like writing and want to be a writer someday. I've ben to a ton of other forums, and all of them for long periods of time, so I'm not really a newb. I'm not like those annoying newbs that spam and place the same thread everywhere in the forums. When you see me you're not like, "Woah. That guy's annoying." I get GI magazine, and have been subscribed to it for a year. I hope to have fun at these forums, and make people laugh with all my stupidities.

Also, don't bother making a comment about LJU's typing if you do go to Unmod. It's all been said before.

Yes, it looks as if he is drunk when he types, yes, his sigs are vulgar, no, he is not stupid. Anyways, it should be noted, that sarcasm is used a lot in UnMod. Get good at recognizing it, not that it's very difficult to do so, but every now and then, someone will become deeply offended at another's sarcastic remarks, and making a big deal out of it just marks you as an easy target.

Oh, and welcome nooblets. :wink:

[mrmoeo]

I'm crazy http://www.whorehouze.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/pillepalle.gif

You crazy mofo. Stop filling their heads with crazy ideas.

I like you...but you're crazy!

[grhradhdahdzsfhzd]

Hmmm, I really wanted to avoid saying anything in this thread, but I suppose this is a fairly decent way of introducing myself and a convenient excuse to explain the genius behind why I'm here, so...what the hell?

So hey. Really, the only reason I registered is because when I would read these things, people would get concerned. So concerned, in fact, that they would bribe me to stop. Of course, in time they began to stop bribing me, so I'm stepping it up and posting now. Yesss, now bring on the bitc...umm, nevermind. Let's just say they aren't bribing me with ice cream. Hmmm, what else should I mention....oh yesss, I completely forgot. I write music and plan to be remixing soon, so hopefully you'll be able to hear some of my work within the next couple months.

Well, that about covers everything. G'nite, whippersnappers...

[ElZog]

Welcome! Have fun around here as a new memeber of the community

[RamarBlaze]

WTF!! my post was deleted!!... Just kidding... im know it was deleted due to my inability to look before i leap.. so im just going to say goodbye until tonight... that when i have free time!

[Tasogare No Kin Ryu]

Alrighty then, I go by the Gold Dragon of Twilight (Its in Jap.), and I suppose that I should post here to ensure that my already fragile personality isn't further crushed by my lack of competence... Oh well... This is the first time I have ever [EVER!!!] used a forum in my life, and I was hoping I could at least come here to share my time with some fellow video game enthusiasts. I am completely clueless on a lot of the abbreviations that are used freely around here, like the "pwed" that was in response to my first post. Is there any def of the thing, and I have used a search engine and get some kind of government bill... I dunno...

I guess I'm obligated to talk a little about myself as well. As you can see from my sig, I am a perspective concept designer for video games, and am presently in college to pursue my lifelong dream of creating them myself. I come to the forums to look for the present consumer outlook and see what people want and don't want in a game nowadays. I was first into'ed to OCRemix by Terra in Black, and now I come back on a regular basis for inspiration (Thank you Beatmainia 2DX 'Kick your A' and Wild Arms 'Not Alone in the World' for inspiring C.O.P.E.) Presently I am here to find a way to manipulate the course of forum conversations to further my market research of those who actually play games. Hardcore Gamers like myself...

Which brings me to a question. Would anyone know where or if I should post a topic on the current state of Japan? I know that some of the members here have to be from Japan or at least visited before, and I want to know what its like to live there from a natural source... I can get plenty of technical stuff from the net, but I want personal Exp. and real opinions. Its needed for a work I have in progress... I have no pen pals, I fear chat rooms like the plague, and I missed my chance to go there myself my Junior Year of HS over a stupid Passport!!! But anyways, does it belong under politics and economy or is that a General type message?

And to conclude (DANG! Every Time he Writes it's a BOOK!!) I'd just like to say:
1. I'm just about as Anti-American as a person in the Marines can be... (He's not in the Military, he just grew up with a bunch of Jar-Heads)
2. I'm just about as black as Vanilla Ice cruisin' down MLK Blvd. in a Caddy with Hydrolics. (Give it up man, now you're trying too hard...)
3. I'm obsessed about video games, and I hope that with positive input from others on this forum, I can help make someone's console dream become a reality. (Man, you were just saying that so you could have a round three remarks)

And finally, the person in the Parentheses is usually Mike... He'll keep us on the same page when necessary.

Hint for all you newbs.. Read through as many of OmegaX800's posts as you can. It's a perfect guide for how not to act on OCR. If you can't read through them all due to the sheer stupidity of them, don't fret, you'll do just fine here :wink:

Oh and welcome all newcomers.

You would place something as trivial and meaningless as a post count above custom, something sacred which has lasted throughout the ages? Hmmm...tsk tsk tsk, bad priorities, but if I must give in then I must...I shipped the $5 using UPS, but unfortunately most of that was spent on packaging and shipping....but really, enjoy your 29 cents.

Some insight: I worked for UPS for awhile, don't be expecting that package for a long, long time...

[Izgert]

Hi. Yeah, so, about me.. I'm a newbie, but I posted a bit on the Politics, Philosophy, and Religion board before realizing there was a board for newbies. Hopefully I won't stick around too long; I enjoyed the heated discussion back there..

Actually, everything needed to know about me is in my profile, and you can find out everything else yourselves as we go.

EDIT: Check out the Philosophy board.

I have a question; if I want to post a topic about tips for dating (involving no sexuality or dirty talk), where would it go?

I was thinking Unmod, but I was afraid it might go where I don't want to go...

[8-Bit Gamer]

I have a question; if I want to post a topic about tips for dating (involving no sexuality or dirty talk), where would it go?

I was thinking Unmod, but I was afraid it might go where I don't want to go...

If you put it in UnMod, it will most likely end up involving sexuality and dirty talk. Your best bet would be to put it in General. If it starts to get inappropriate (which isn't too likely to happen in General), the moderators will move it to UnMod.

No, we actually have a whole thread dedicated to that topic. Just be specific to what you want, and it won't get dirty.

Hello everyone. I'm Tyler, and I've been addicted to this site for some time now.

Chorus: Hello Tyler.

I'm a lifelong and avid gamer from the Northwest, and I just felt it was time I start contributing to this site in a siginificant way. I'm a sophomore in college working toward a degree in journalism, but my true passions are music and gaming. I guess this site fits me perfectly. After hearing some remixes for the first time, I said to myself, "man, I wanna be able to do THAT!" (goat's Purple Heart, etc. :) ) So I've recently been toying around with Reason and FL, but to be honest, I'm confused as hell and have NO IDEA how music of such high caliber is produced from said software. I suppose it'll come in time...if anyone is willing to work with an extreme newbie, feel free to IM me or drop me a line (or I suppose you could just reply on this thred...)

Anyway, that's me.

Since I have no clue who those people are, I'm going to ask you, the OCR people, who they are. I guess you could PM me, email me (tmwde3@yahoo.com) or IM me (rsnake54).

Well, I don't know if this has been taken care of yet.

The racing thing you saw was the UnMod racing series, being played on KyleJCRB's computer, on some racing game. COMPLETELY unrelated to the site.

No it wasn't taken care of, and thank you for clearing that up for me. :)

[The DEWK]

How's it going?
Oh I'm fine thanks.
My Real name is Daniel Evan Wilke Koos.
I was born 11:59pm, April 12, 1986.
And That's when the trouble Began....

I currently reside in Burlington, Ontario...
In Canada!
Sorry.
I am a bit patriotic, but let's not get into politics.
So... a bit about me...
I am a big fan of both electronic and classical music, and obviously video games.
I Have without a doubt a "unique" personality. i am an avid reader and chess player.
I am also co-captain of my school's trivia team, and i sing bass in the choir.
I have a weird/special(the kind that's ride's the small bus)/unique sense of humour, and to illustrate that.. My three favourite comedians are Levi Mcdougall, Emo Phillips, Brian Regan, and favourite group: Monty Python. :lol:
I love Comic Books. My father is a Priest in the new apostolic church. I work a little Caesar’s. 100 percent German heritage.
Personal Problems: ADHD, Epilepsy, and some other stuff :cry:
OK. That is a start
I came into this forum to learn. Any one seen the Karate Kid? Well I am here to play the "Daniel-san" to you're "sensei". I know very little about both the culture and technology surrounding Electronica and Techno. So as I said, I came here to learn, and have fun.

thanks for reading. :)

P.S. Is there an ass kissing forum? i did not mention my favourite mixes or mixers but have a lot of compliments to give out... oh well... wait... here i go anyway.

YOU ALL ROCK!!!!

adios

[Altruss]

Just giving an introduction. I'm not new to the site, but I am new to posting, so hello.

[Black Mage]

Hey all. Black Mage here, first time poster, long time listener.

A friend of mise first turned me on to OCR a couple of years ago and I've been downloading ever since.

My fav mixes tend to be of the orchestral genre, though I don't limit myself. I recently found the Relics of the Chozo and it utterly blew me away! I've burnt it to audio cd and even went so far as to make a complete cd case of it (I'll post the pics sometime soon). Then last night I saw the announcement of the completion of Kong in Concert, I downloaded the first song, and once again it blew me away. So I took advantage of the campus' uber download speeds to download the rest of the project this morning. I can't wait to get home and listen to the whole thing. This will also give me another excuse to design another cd cover/case.

I'm gonna stop babbling now, so I hope to get to know everyone in the forums.

[BardicKnowledge]

Hi everyone!

My name's Ryan Thompson, and I'm a 19 year old music major (vocal performance and composition) at Iowa State University. I first visited the website around 3 years ago when one of my friends told me something he did got put up on the site.

My voice is definitely the number one thing that gets me through the day...I'm always singing something, in whatever octave. I've a range <ego> from low F on bottom of the bass clef to high G on top of the treble </ego>

I've always wanted to arrange things, but never had good enough equipment/technical skills. A year of college as a computer science major (yuck) has changed that, and I hope to eventually have time to remix something of my own.

Anyway, thanks to DarkCecil13 for getting me started here (really, thanks to both of the Mruzik guys for getting me to think about changing my major).

Salutations newcomers! :)

[SILVERWOLF]

Aye, welcome to OCR everyone.

[Sporknight]

Hey all! Ive been reading the forums for about three months and have finally gotten around to registering. Although I dont know the first thing about remixing, i jus wanna say the music here is awsome and to keep up the good work all you musically inclined people!

[Darius]

Ello all,

I've made a brief introduction of myself in the WIP forum, but I'll just say another quick hello here. Been surfing here for a couple of years now, and am muchly impressed with some of the music here. In fact some of my influences come from OCR artists. :D Hopefully my music'll be able to improve with help and feedback from fellow artists.

[The DEWK]

hey it's Daniel.
I have a small technical question that I do not belive is worthy of an entire topic and causing moderaters stress.
So...
Can anyone tell me if avatars can be imported?
If so how would I accomplish this, and by following which guidelines?

Thanks a lot,
Daniel

[Smoke]

There's no way to get your own avatar on the site, you're stuck with the pre-selected ones. There are a few reasons for this, such as more control over what's shown, bandwidth issues for other sites and size issues causing the image to be resized or having the ability to warp the tables.

There's been topics about it before, we don't mind them.

[CC Ricers]

I'd think this would be a good addendum for the first page newbie guides because a few of them are trying to step up to the loud-mouthed people:

- Don't try to argue with Nekofrog, you'll waste your time. He knows every cop-out insult in the book. Don't try to question his hipocrisy either.
- Firedrake plays the skin flute to the [size] tag every night. That's just his writing style.

Meh, I’ve been gone for a little while and have just returned and although I post very infrequently my brief observations of this “Neko” fellow seems to be of just your average troll. It’s been said a million times to just ignore such individuals but people never seem to get the hint. Where there are forums there will be trolls, that’s just something we will all have to deal with.

I suppose I could add a bit about not responding or encouraging such behaviours by refusing to respond to nonsense posts or topics rather than single out a certain individual. When Neko is gone another will take his place.

[Thom Serveaux]

Well hello all, the name's Thom Serveaux((pronounced Ta-hom Ser-vo)) and when I'm not here enjoying the tunes, I'm usually engaged in my two other obsesions, anime & MST3K ((Hence the username)) Been long enough now that I don't exactly recall just how I discovered this site, but like most of us I am extremely grateful that I did. Especially w/ Halloween coming up, I can really use some of the 'spookier' stuff as fodder for my annual outdoor display :twisted: ... BTW has anyone managed to come across a copy of the 'Killer Kuts ' CD that Nintendo put out back when they were introducing KI to the SNES? Mine must've recieved X-tra rough handling during shipment, 'cause not long after I got it, the thing like, broke in half!!! 8O :evil: Ghaaa!!!! still haven't gotten over that as you can tell....

[SecombKanzaki]

Hello, everyone. The name's Secomb Kanzaki (not real name). Currently studying literature at New College of Florida in Sarasota, FL.

I've been here just a bit, but have been able to get along nicely (except for my faux pas-ses in lingo, seen in the FF7 sequel thread.) and was able to start up a nice topic in gendisc. yay!

but enough horn tooting...
that's my intro, anyone interested in saying hi or knowing more, than... i dunno, find me or send me a private message. ill waste your time no longer. toodles!

PS good thread! allows me to meet the newer people and really helps this nOOb. thanks!

PPS and the music rocks. my socks. all the time....

[tasogare51]

Call me Tasogare (or some version of that), and I've been listening to OC Remixes for a couple years now. I'm a teenage girl who happens to prefer talking about video games instead of hair and makeup. Long story short, I go to high school in a boring city in Northern California (boring if you've lived up here for over a decade).

My favorite songs are pretty much ANY Donkey Kong Country remix, and a lot of Chrono Trigger ones. I'm also a fan of random anime/jpop songs, as well as Linkin Park, and obviously video game music.

I hope I'm welcome in a not-so-perverted way, though I don't get much chance to go online (with school and homework and such).

[Smoke]

Hey whats up..... I am new to this forum.....to any forums for that matter. So hi to all and hope to post here for awhile.

[Mitaro]

Hey, name's Mitaro. I like mostly old NES/SNES games along with any (and i do mean ANY) arcade games. I am an ace in StreetFighter III :twisted: (as well as Alpha III). I want to learn to remix Sakura's theme, as well as a few songs from old NES games such as Kirby, Megaman, so on. If you are interested in talking or anything like that give me a PM. You want to know anything else about me I have yet to post?.. PM.
I hope to be of value to the forums as well as the site. See you all around

Not to mention that favorites of any kind are frowned upon, but the "OMG BEST OCRRRRZ!!111111!" are flamebait.

Not to mention next year I'll be taking game programming, so look forward to seeing a lot of neat projects then.

[Rhino boy]

^_^ Hello there!

Finally i'm on the forum! It took quite a while since i didn't get activation codes the first times I tried, so my usual screen name is taken by..me...so I changed to Rhino boy.
Name: Cojiro
Age: 17
Occupation: Officially I work weekends in a cafe, and am not a pirate. No, definatly not a pirate...
Stuff: I like manga,anime,ddr,candy and i really love music of any kind (mostly...)
Favourtie remixes so far: The last dragon and the columns theme are both fantastic. I really like the Knuckles rap i downloaded but i've downloaded so many ocr remixes i can't remember the names...Strip mine by Beatdrop is fantastic too..Oh! and A froay into eastern horizens,a world of piano...Too many to list!
Maybe when i get home from this waste of time...I mean..sixth form i'll post all the games i have remixes from, but this'll do for now.
Good to meet you all! ^_^

Oh yeah..XD i moved my post to here without editing it...clever idea eh?

>_<

[Mahaboo]

Haha, I was wondering what that was all about. Well, you had the sense to correct the mistake and for that you should applauded, so few would have even bothered ( I believe that is deserving of a :nicework: ). That said, a great big welcome to OCR to you as well as all the other newblets.

Enjoy your stay. :)

[prophetik music]

yo, i didn't know this was in here.

Name: Asmodeus, the Prophet of Mephisto
Age: 18
Occupation: College student, part time at Wegmans food market and Houghton college Music Library
Interests: I'm a sax major here at Houghton, i like music obviously, i like techno a lot. I also enjoy basketball and verbal sparring.

I am willing to help people if they have a need for bass/effects programming as well as live vocals, saxophone, bass guitar, latin percussion. Have fun with that, everyone.

:twisted:

ps - i know i'm not exactly a n00b - i've been around for a little while, but i'm close enough to get that distinction to some effect.

[prophetik music]

sorry about the double post - but i forgot to say that I'll adopt any n00b who needs help with fruity or basic muzikmaking in general. I'm classically trained but i've been writing trance, techno, jazz, orchestral, rave, hard rock, etc for years so i'll be able to give you some good teaching if you need it. in addition to helping on whatever project you want help on.

Hey, how can i move a thread from GenDisc to, say, politics, religion so forth?

Sorry but you can’t; only the mods and admins have that kind of power. You can however, delete a post or thread you have made if no one else has replied. If someone has replied though, you’re kind of stuck.


You could always try PM'ing a Mod though and asking them if they would move it for you. Just keep in mind that they are not obligated to do so. The list of Mods can be found under Community => Groups.

E-mail and AIM/MSN will in some cases work just a little faster. Especially with me. Just lemme know who you are first, I don't respond to people I don't know unless there's a good reason for it.

[Billy_]

Hello there, i am new here so here comes a short introduce of myself.
My name is Billy (male that is, sorry boys) and i am for the moment, well not really but close to turn 17 year (15th October), I am born in Libanon but have lived in Sweden since I was 2 years old.
On my freetime I do as much as i can and that is: play fotball in a club called IFK Klagshamn (for those who find that intresting in a way or two), play alot of computer games, listen to all kind of music, spend time with friends and so on.
Well all in all I hope my time here will be as enjoyable as i had writing this :lol: cause after reading a whole bunch of posts there seems to be quite frienly, funny, interesting, special people out here. And if you still wonder something about me feel free to ask and if i can be a helping hand in a possible way (i suspect some will catch this sentence in a wrong way, else it's just cause im Swedish) dont hesitate to ask.

[Mahaboo]

cause after reading a whole bunch of posts there seems to be... special people out here.

“Special” eh? So is that what they are calling us looney’s now? :wink:


Heh, welcome and enjoy your stay here. :)

[CruelOldMan]

Hello.

I've been coming here for quite a while... about a year or two. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get my hands on as many remixes as I'd have liked to. A relatively diligent schedule, an extremely selective nature, and a sluggish 56k dial-up modem are to blame. But, what I have heard are good quality... I've recently taken a liking to "Nikki Learns a Song" by Ailsean, "Rainbow Snowland" by Dhsu, and "Green Amnesia" by Disco Dan.

I've ignored the forums for the most part, although I've read reviews and rustled through interesting topics, particularly the one concerning the recent decease of the Chrono Trigger: Resurrection project.

Ah, I think I've detailed myself quite enough. Good day.

But, in hopes of summing it up, i like just about all the songs from chrono trigger, chrono cross, final fantasy (all of them), ys, zombies ate my neighbors, and the zelda songs. Oh, and the first thing I did when i joined, was get my cool sig from CapnHulk.

Try to avoid "Favorites" threads...things like "Whut is joo fav Final Fantasee game!!lol" aren't generally welcome.

Yo...I've already made a few posts around here. I guess I'm still new so I thought I'd do the intro thing. Malaki's my name, interests are most things musical, playin' video games(duh), primarily RPGs and action games, playin' my guitar and anything else that tickles my fancy.

Came to this site about a year or so ago, but I decided to join now for some strange reason instead of earlier. I hope that I eventually make a few good mixes to post up here. :P

Well, I've been cruising the site for the last couple days, gotten some songs, and I really like what I've found. This music is amazing and I definately want to be a part of it. Anyway let me introduce myself. I'm Lizzroid. I live in Seattle and I'm 16 years old. I havent made any remixes yet, but I'm sifting through a ton of articles on the site to make sense of it.

Hmm love games, anime, cartoons, figures and that sort of stuff. Hit me up on AIM at VegetaBogard1658, or make me a friend on Battle.net "Raulimus". I also have my blog at 1Up.com under "KokiriKid84". Fighting games and RPGs are mostly my favorite, but my friend just got me into shmups and I'm loving them mainly any Gradius and Ikaruga. (Please lemme know if you recommend any other good ones) Well I guess that's it for me, I hope to have a sig soon. Stay cool, later. :mrgreen:

[HakyokuSeiken]

Hi. I'm HS. I hate that 'covers' are frowned upon. I personally frown upon tunes that take the original and change it so much as to be a slap in the face to the original composer. That's just me. I'll probably never have a tune on this site for that very reason...

It's just really strange how some songs are considered a 'rip' ('funk dreamer') and others aren't ('bar hopping')...would be nice if someone could explain it for me...and yes, I DID read the submission guidlines. ;)

Anyway, good day to you all. :)

There are quite a few people who think like you do - trust me. A rip is when a song takes the MIDI and does instrument changes. I've noticed as of late that this term is being passed around with increasing consistancy - its because some of the judges aren't really qualified to be saying some of that stuff but they do anyways cause they're dumb. Also - a remix that is really far from an original composer's stuff isn't necessarily bad - it shows other ways the composer could have taken from the original. A composer doesn't think that this is bad - its merely a different direction that the composer could have taken and as such isn't really that bad as you make it sound like. Anyways - glad to have you here!

[Levvy]

hi
i'm levvy and i wanna be a mongoose dog

couple of quick questions (i'll ask here cos they really don't deserve an entire thread)

a) is #ocremix and the forums the same community? a few other forums i've posted on i've jumped in irc and said hi and everyone's liek "wtf who are you". so yeah are they generally the same group of guys or seperate entities?
b) why are everyones sigs so big and can i start a petition to shrink them? on a more serious note, is there an option i missed somewhere to browse without sigs showing?
c) i'm after some advice on buying instruments (primarily a new synth) but i was after a little more depth than the nub guides provided. are there any particular people around here worth asking, or better yet, an existing thread adressing this (this question is bound to have been done already)

[Smoke]

a) They're pretty much separate communities. Other than a few members being in both, there aren't many similarities.

b) They're not big. You're just running in a low resolution ;). And a petition won't help. For the final question: No. If you use Firefox you can use it to block images from specific servers by right-clicking and selecting "Block images from <domain name>".

c) Check the Remixing forum for a thread, or ask in there with a new topic.

I am glad i found this site. Have a good day.

[Wicked]

Yo everyone. Yet another new guy. I go by the name Wicked, as you can see. I've been hanging around OCremix since 2003 but never really cared to visit the message boards. I have enough of them bookmarked already but now that I'm half interested in remixing, I figured I might as well start participating. I'm sure everyone and their mom is interested in remixing on THIS board, though. Chances are I'll never make a remix just because I seem to have the worst grasp on all of the software. I've downloaded the demos for Fruity Loops and Reason and looked at what was there, tried messing around with it for a while but came up empty-handed. I'm planning on ordering the FL Producer's Edition when I start doing a little budget here in the next few days so maybe I'll have more luck when the SOB actually has a tutorial.

If I ever need help, I'll call on you guys. I've got some great ideas for remixes that I'd love to share with you, two in particular. I can play them in my head forever but until I learn how to get them on computer, it'll drive me nuts.

Anyway, it's a pleasure to join the site and hopefully I won't come off as a lame newb (and if I do, hopefully not for very long).

Welcome to the forums, Wicked. Don't forget to read (or re-read) the n00b stickies - i wouldn't want to chalk you up on my wall like the rest of them. As for software - work with it. It took me forever to get the hang of Fruity, but now i dont' even have to think to apply good effects and stuff. It comes naturally soon enough - just give it a few weeks. Ignore the stuff you're never gonna use (fruity vibrator, scratch pad, wrapper) and focus on the more important stuff, like the 303 OSC, samplers, layers, and such. Feel free to PM for any questions.

Hey all. I found you guys through a kazaa download :D

It's reeeealy early, so I'll just say that this site is awesome. I'm 19, and I play CounterStrike very often. I was a little suprised to not see a Darius Twin remix amongst your superb mp3 selection. Hopefully I'll be able to get myself a keyboard and contribute a little something.

Later!

Wolcome, Wind Fish! Its good to have someone around who doesn't try and hide that they like some of the more popular games - a fanboy who's proud of it. I like it. Have a great time here! (and stay out of unmod for at least two weeks).

Alright, someone answers :D
Of course I'm proud of liking those games, it aren't games you should be ashamed of..

Greetings, I am BrokenSword. I discovered this site about a month ago. I've only scratched the surface of the site. I'm impressed at how thurough it is. Until now I've been a turntablist both solo and with a band. I look forward to throwing my hat in the OCR ring. I'm new to the bit torrent thing, and there are some funky file types on here, so please bare with me on my stupid questions. Other than music I am a visual artist as well. Some commrades and I are getting our butts in gear on our online comic and video games.

I'm Gemineye, I'm 18 live in PA and am new to the OCR forums (though not the site itself).
I would LOVE to get into remixing...but I have a Yamaha DGX200 (w/ midi connections) and FLStudio4... is it possible to do anything with this at all?

[The DEWK]

Welcome to OCR!


It's a very cool site with very cool people.

A word of advice though, stick to what you know for a while, try to learn the ettiquette in General Discussion before moving posting in Unmod.

Please trust me, I speak from experience.
I still burn from the harsh flaming. :cry:


So have fun! :D

8O But Beware Unmod!!! 8O

[Zantor]

Hi! Call me be my username, Zantor! I am new here as you may have guessed, and I have questions about remixing. One in particular is if I can remix without a keyboard like a Kurzweil, but with just a computer, because me resources are very limited.

[SILVERWOLF]

Absolutely. I know for a fact that many remixers including my main man Beatdrop use nothing but FL. Just import what you play into FL, if you want a more human feel.
Might want to check this (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=7) out, though, as I'm hardly a remixer.

Yeah, you can do a lot with your equipment. I'm remixing right now with some horribly outdated, simple notation software, no keyboard either. All is does is record down notes. But, at least I can print out the music afterwards and do a live, solo-piano recording.

[Okuza]

I am PTG. I've been visiting this site for a while, and just decided to join the forum. I have no musical talent other than listening. Someone I vaguely know was playing a CD with remixes from this site, and told me to check it out. I've been hooked since.

[rem]

Welcome PTG to OCR. I hope you enjoy your stay.

[Mousebeast]

Hey what's up, I'm John. I go to UT San Antonio. I see this site on my roommate's computer a lot and it looked pretty interesting so I decided to give it a go. I've listened to several of the remixes and I thought they were impressive, and the community here seems like it is really cool. So, I'm just dropping in to say hi.

[XelectromarioX]

Hey everyone! My name is Aaron and I'm 24 from Washington state.

I grew up with Mario and Nintendo and own all but the original NES.

I first heard about the site through song info on a really cheap music sharing program (Shareaza, I think it was called).

I'm VERY glad I found this site and have taken the opportunity to check out a lot of the ReMixes. I enjoy a lot of trance/house/NRG-style music and live DJ mixing, so I can really appreciate and enjoy what the ReMixers do. ^_^ I've thought about possibly getting into the field myself, someday, but we'll see. I'm lazy. :P

See ya around.

[CC Ricers]

Welcome aboard, XelectromarioX. It's nice to have another DJ around. Here's an article I dug up that seems to fit this board well like a glove. Actually, it was ripped from another message board, but I altered it and pruned it to fit OCR better.
______________

This is for the well-being of all newbies that I post this article, though.

First off, one key to fitting in on our forums is to lay low. People who come out of this newbie topic and post like crazy are often more noticeable. Noticeable = very good or very bad! If you make yourself too "known" in the beginning (where everyone knows you're a newb), you'll automatically be recognized as "King spamx0r n00b," and we don't want that, do we? I suggest "lurking." If you're unfamiliar with the term, it means basically just hanging out, reading stuff, absorbing. Which leads to my next point....

Before just "posting" on Overclocked Remix, you have to remember that we're a unique community of people. By that I mean, some of us are rude, sarcastic, and embittered. To understand why, you should (before posting about how kawaii SD Gundam is) read some of our posts and understand why we act the way we do.

The next key to posting at Overclocked is to be reserved. When you post, either post in small amounts, or make the post worth reading and inciteful. Also, don't go directly for the 'inciteful' boards like UnMod. It's called UnMod for a reason. If you think nothing phazes you or moves you like The Blob, then by all means try it out.

The MOST important rule on all of OCR is fitting in with our little group. By that I mean, you can't be one of these people: melodrama-queen, a crazy fanatic of anything (but videogames are the most tolerable subject), go out of your way to announce to the world that you're a Goth/Pagan/Wicca, a person whom is overly obsessed with discussing their sexual preference (UnMod exempt), teh king of spamx0r, or someone who has a complete lack of understanding as far as order goes.

Also note that if you make a mistake in your "newb" days, you will most likely be ridiculed. To avoid that, don't do the following things:

- make threads on things we already have threads on
- reviving 6 month old topics about someone's pet hamster
- Post in the wrong forum (there are exceptions)
- Insult a staff member while on "newb" status
- Post completely ludicrous remarks in most forums

Remember, folks, being a newb at first is like being that guy from Full Metal Jacket who always got picked on, and we're pretty much that crazy Seargant. Hopefully, though, you won't blow your brains out with a rifle. At least, that wasn't our intention. If you can follow this guide, hopefully you won't have to. If you're ridiculed, be strong, and maybe you'll redeem yourself.

before posting in unmod, it's best to lurk and get an idea of Unmod regulars personalities, as they are varied and confusing. for example, sarcasm is used OFTEN and if you cannot detect it, you will be ridiculed.
