I also want to be in as novice. I think my earlier post didn't state that clearly

This is awesome. I'll observe the first round, but I'm interested in signing on as a novice the next.

I'm not too fond of the idea of "Noob & Expert" or "Novice & Star" or however you want to put it. I don't think people should consider themselves "noobs" and likewise I wouldn't consider myself an "expert" or a "star", not even close. I'd be more comfortable calling myself a novice, and learning from someone who may know a thing or 2 more about production than I do. I mean no offense to anyone who would consider themselves an expert, I'm certainly not suggesting that they are arrogant or whatever, I just personally don't see myself ever considering myself an expert, not unless I'm supporting my family financially with music. So eh, that's just my opinion.

Oh, I wouldn't either. I doubt many OC ReMixers would. But really, the name's just to distinguish between people who have been doing this and are good enough at it to be posted, and those who aren't at that level yet. The goal is to help them get there, with some competition sprinkled in, I think.

I think with some of the quality that's been on OCR "star" might not be too far off. Some tracks from OCR I prefer to use as a mixing reference over commercial ones. Speaking just from within the OCR community, I have my heroes.

What's that saying? "To the world you might be one person but to one person you might be a pretentious douchebag with false modesty and a persecution complex"?

I never really had a thing for clever sayings like that.

I like this idea and would be the first to sign up for it, and I think Gar-io should be working with Gar-pocalypse on this one.

Now that's poetry right there. It reminds me of another..

"Don't be a stupid asshole and do good in life"

Yeah, it seems less about achievement and stardom and more about whether novices want the expertise of these stars. I'd be considered a star in this dichotomy, but there are ppl on ocr who have things to teach me about the things I consider to be my strengths. Then there are areas, styles, genres, techniques that I'm less proficient in, and would learn a lot from someone more experienced in those areas.

I can be someone's star, if needed.

Likewise. Having also been involved in a to-be-posted track that will launch a new face into the community (and behind the arrangement even), I'm open to help out any way I can.

I'm posted, but I'm kind of a jerk. I don't think anyone would want my advice.

My mixing is also spontaneous; I can't do it correctly right off the bat.

But if anyone is drunk enough to want my help, I'm available.
