Like seph, I hadn't heard the source before, surely a banger. Anyway, this begins with a clav doing the main chord progression and is quickly joined by bass and percussion. Immediately noticeable is the low volume of the master. At 0:15 we move to the first melody of the source, played pretty straight from the source, although the bass line is different. On that note, bass is very overpowering on the mix, should be tamed with EQ, especially on the low-mid range. As a probable consequence the kick ends up being quiet on the mix. At 0:30 we move to the second melody of the source, once again played very straight. In your take, thanks to the electric piano, there's a bigger focus on the chords but I can't shake the feeling that the remix is very very similar to the original so far. 0:47 introduces the third section of the source and my feelings don't change, bigger focus on chords but still sounds pretty close to the original. Next we repeat the intro and move into a piano solo. Nice writing here. We then get an organ solo, it's less exciting than the piano one IMO but it's still fun. At 1:37 we return to the third melody and we get a couple repeats of the intro until the track ends. On arrangement, I feel this one is extremely close to the original. While you put more emphasis on the actual chords on the writing, changing the very dynamic bassline from the source into a (still dynamic) bass line that marks the chords clearly, the end result isn't a big transformation. The solos are appreciated as a change-up but IMO more should be done to clearly set this apart from the source. On production there's a couple issues. Most obvious is the mastering, the track is very quiet. Mix also needs a refinement, especially on bass/drums. A track like this needs a punchy drumline with clear kick and snare (this one manages to cut through the mix but I agree with proph that it's very heavy on the fundamental). For bass I'd advise some taming of the mids in general (especially the lower ones) and would also suggest some love in higher freqs, maybe some distortion, saturation, whatever. Overall, I think this one isn't ready yet. While I think it's enjoyable and it has fun aspects (like the solos), the arrangement is IMO generally too close to the source and the production needs polish in the bass/drums department. NO

It's probably heresy to say this - I'm not super familiar with any Sonic game after Sonic 3, so this source is a wild and catchy newness to me! Some of the backing elements in the source are unpleasantly cronchy to my ear, which I don't hear in this remix - that's a plus from me! Proph nailed the main points - this mixdown is quiet, and there's a big lack of mixing done on the instruments, even though there's been plenty done on the arrangement and composition side of things. I'm not against reusing the intro as the outro in concept, though I would advocate doing something with the line if it's going to be repeated. Same goes with the repeated use of the radio transition: the first time is reminiscent of the source, the next 4 times it comes off as a lazy copy-paste transition, even though I can hear there's some filter changes to it in subsequent repeats. For me to sign off on this one, I'd need to hear: a better balance of the drums in the mix - partickuarly audible kick and cymbals (or overhead mics if you have them as a channel) the snare I think is fine as it is, having the other pieces brought out would give it better context fewer wholesale repeats of the radiowave transition NO

Definitely not something we'd post. We're looking for full songs. We've posted short mixes before but 26 seconds is not enough. It's also wild that you said this is 54 seconds when half the audio file is just silence. Please familiarize yourself with the type of music OCR posts. We're not looking for little ringtone length clips. NO

This remix is 4 years older than the SH movie, and came out only a few years after the game. I hadn't played the games when the remix came out so it was one of my first impressions of the franchise. It part of SH legacy now. I recently released a FanMix of the movie Silent Hill (2006) and decided to use Nay Tomorrow along with a few other SH1 ost songs in the remixed audio track. It still not legal to publish remixes of movies anywhere, so DM (either forum or social) is the only method of distribution. FanEdit.org Thread Facebook

Not the worst samples in the world for a quick mockup, Hupusu, but sending a 26-second ringtone isn't a fully developed arrangement by any stretch. :-D If interested, develop it into a full arrangement and see what you can do about improving the instrumentation quality. For being a quick hit of the theme, it's a nice genre transformation. Hit the Workshop forums and our Discord if you're genuinely curious at making complete songs. NO

this is 26 seconds long with 28s of silence after it. it's a neat tech demo concept but isn't close to what we could accept here unfortunately. there's nowhere near enough development of arrangement to meet our arrangement requirements, and the instrumentation isn't what we'd expect to see either. i'd encourage you to review the Standards - notably points 1.2., 4.2., and 5.2 - as they detail what we expect for our site. if you fleshed this arrangement out some more and looked into some of the free VSTs and sample packs that are available on the web, i definitely think you could turn this into something legit! but what's here isn't there yet. consider the Workshop discord or forum for additional resources. NO

Woah, changing the melody to minor was really cool. I love it.

Oh hi. I'm that guy with that spreadsheet. Had a shower thought today, where a lot of my OCR things seem to have their beginnings... I realized from looking through the catalog that there are still quite a few sections of pre-2006 that are missing tags. So I went through this evening and marked on the spreadsheet all the ones up to the end of 2006 where it's needed. I've not looked beyond 2006 yet but I'm feeling fairly confident that there shouldn't any missing from there, unless I happen to stumble across the odd exception. I find it weird that there's some absolute classics that are missing tags... So I'm putting up my hand to finish the job. Here's the list of ReMixes missing tags: 171 312 318 - 320 339 340 365 368 371 - 375 436 460 462 466 - 470 472 473 475 478 480 - 482 484 485 490 - 493 494 496 - 499 511 512 514 - 524 526 528 - 531 535 - 539 542 - 551 553 - 556 559 - 564 568 570 573 575 577 - 580 582 - 589 611 613 615 - 620 654 656 658 - 661 663 - 668 692 693 698 - 700 702 703 705 - 716 720 - 722 724 726 728 - 735 738 740 742 743 746 747 866 - 871 874 876 878 - 881 884 - 886 889 892 - 895 897 898 900 902 - 904 906 907 910 - 916 919 920 922 - 928 930 931 933 - 935 937 - 939 941 - 943 946 - 948 951 952 954 955 987 - 961 964 965 968 - 974 976 - 978 981 - 983 985 - 987 990 992 993 996 1004 1007 1009 1012 - 1014 1016 - 1024 1026 1027 1032 1033 1035 1037 - 1039 1041 - 1045 1049 1054 1057 1060 1061 1064 1065 1067 1072 1075 1077 - 1082 1085 - 1087 1091 - 1094 1096 1097 1099 1102 - 1106 1109 1110 1112 1116 - 1121 1124 1126 1128 - 1133 1136 1140 - 1148 1150 - 1157 1159 1162 1163 1165 - 1167 1169 1285 Also, I saw that @Liontamer was responsible for the lyrics tags. If I may, I would urge putting the explicit tag on 570 and 1419, please. There's also a lot of other mixes up to the end of 2006 that I feel could do with additional tags, but I think it's more important to get the ones without tags done first. Please hit me up.

I also considered using When Hell Freezes Over as the final track of this list, right after "Cosmic Kleptomaniac". Although I will definitely have to make room on this list for "I Can't Be Your Ray of Hope" as soon as it gets posted.

i dont want to submit my remixes, just want to share them here kindly. thx for the constructive feedback!

Co-signing with Chimpazilla and proph on this one. While your arrangement hews conservatively to the source material, I think the little additions like the reduction to the piano and bells at 1:20 before building back into the A section and the approaches to the melodic material on the guitar and vocals elevate this beyond a simple 1:1 cover of the tune. The production is the one big problem that's holding this one back -- too heavy in the mids, the heartbeat is eating up all your headroom, and the -2dB limiter ceiling, while maybe not causing all your production problems, only serves to clip the louder low-end elements (namely the heartbeat and the left hand of the piano). This one's ready for the front page with some tweaks on the mix, Azina! NO (resubmit)

"The bar was kinda crowded. Like the slave quarters of Rupture Farms. But that's a different story from another game. Couldn't even catch a glimpse of Robo Eggman and his big band through the thick clouds of smoke. Things were starting to get hot. So I went to the bar and ordered a hedgehog-friendly tuna shake. I sipped the glass slowly... ... and, of course, I reserved a pool table in the back corner of the bar to play a smooth casual game with my spiky-haired cutie and the affectionate, fluffy fox."

I'm with proph and Hemo on this one. This track feels too repetitive within each section to justify the 5-minute runtime, particularly the drums. Like jnWake and Hemo, I also agree about the lack of cohesion between the elements. While I'm certainly no expert on DnB, I found myself expecting -- wanting -- more bass than we've been given here; I think the wobbly bass starting at 1:40 is an interesting choice (though it lacks power and presence) and without other bass elements, the arrangement goes beyond feeling weightless to feeling ungrounded. Like Hemo, I dig the atmospheric elements and the sampling; I also love the drum patterns (especially the double-tresillo segment at 3:37 with the "weird snare sound" according to jnWake -- maybe it's weird to you, but to me, it's got a nice ring to it that's a change of pace from the tighter, snappier snares we've gotten to up that point😜). The problem for me, ultimately, is that the overly repetitive elements and the lack of low-end are enough to keep me from signing off on this one, Nobel. With some more variation on the individual patterns (or the removal of some repetitive segments) and the addition of another bass element, I'd be on board! NO

i'll let you know when i get around to finishing it!

Epic stuff, dude! And really good mixing as well. The only thing you could still fix for this really cinematic remix composition is the way too abrupt ending of the last notes. Maybe, it's just a video issue that chopped the last notes - but I'd let these notes fade out way more slowly for the final submission track. Hope you are going to submit this title, aren't you?

Definitely a worthy upgrade of the original soundtrack. But for submission to OCR, I don't think it will suffice in terms of composition efforts as a mere arrangement. If that's your ambition, I'd at least compose something like an atmosheric intro (maybe something with some sort of a knightly fanfare), at least one little break around the middle of the soundtrack (where the remix could lead into a different musical structure for a few moments), and (optionally) maybe a little outro. Mixing seems to be good so far. The only thing that seemed a bit strange to me was in the beginning after minute 0:09, where the electric guitars around the center of the panorama sound kinda squashed together with the drums.

I'm not familiar with the game or the original music in any way. But the remix sounds like a really good and humorous upgrade of the original soundtrack. The mixing also makes a really good impression. It is also something really different in terms of genre. So I would definitely submit it and give it to the judges at OCR for evaluation. ))

This guy is quite the personified one-man invasion of a multi-instrumentalist with the estimated energy supply of a faithful energizer bunny: Love the southern style with the energetic and joyful vibes, the radically lively instrumentation of the brass as well as the well-placed “eat the rich” message in the background. It might be fun to implement something like the ska genre into some future remixes on OCR to further increase the musical variety. With music like this, you can easily support the good ol' summer days or radically shake some dark warlord armies out of their stiff marching beat 'n' make 'em stumble over their own stinky cheese feet. ))

Brandish - The Cursed King Remix

The song is a very short arrangement of the Song of Storms from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, it's abou 54 seconds long, I chose to make it short so it can be used maybe as a ringtone or a short background song Games & Sources Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Song of Storms

There's some atmosphere here that I do like. The upper FM synth bell, pads, and choir pad sound lovely. The vocal chops/sampling at 1:00 were a nice addition as well. I'm however not sold on the dnb elements to the piece. They feel pasted underneath everything else and don't have a cohesion to them. It's like there's two different soundscapes going on with a large divide between them. The ethereal and bright upper elements, and then the harsh and gritty bass and drums. These things don't really feel like they belong together. The b I have to bring up the repetition of the loops next. The overuse of the same loop is very repetitive and loses interest quickly. You do at least change the pattern to something else when the sections change, but within a given section it stays the same. You could slice it up or write microvariation within it to spice it up more. 2:36-2:55 is an example of this. Halfway through you add claps on top to build the energy but the rest of the pattern stays the same throughout. 3:06-3:07 has a note here that sounds out of place. 3:19 is a very spicy harmony choice and it doesn't feel fitting. So to recap, FM bells intro and outro sounded nice along with the upper elements (aside from a few dissonant harmonic choices). However, not digging the divide between upper parts and the dnb lower parts, these don't feel cohesive with each other. Too repetitive could use more variation, this would really keep the interest going on a 5 minute long track. NO

This is an old, old MnP track that I've resurrected (thematic pun very much intended) for the OverClocked Remix Halloween Album. This is the main melody of the source for the verses and the chords from the chorus of Bobby Pickett's - Monster Mash, but with the key adjusted to match the Psycho Pinball source. The vocals aren't final as yet, but I'd like some feedback on this advanced WIP; what works, what doesn't, music too loud, vocals too quiet etc etc. Many thanks!
