Hi, there appears to be a 404-error with that great "Do Re Dedede" remix by Lucas Guimaraes: https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR04936 All download links redirect to this page instead of the actual MP3 file: https://ocremix.org/controller_xsl.php?view=404 Thanks for solving it! Best regards, Dustin

Hello, a couple of days ago I polished up an old piece that I wrote almost 15 years ago. My source of inspiration was Schloss Burg an der Wupper, a medieval castle complex originally built in the 12th century near Solingen (Western Germany). Strictly speaking, a medieval piano piece is a paradox in itself, simply because of the instrument. Nevertheless, I tried to incorporate stylistic elements that are perceived as typically medieval today: parallel fifths and fourths, use of church modes (especially Phrygian), 6/8 time, dotted rhythms, constant pulse of quarter and eighth notes, stepwise progression, root-heavy harmonies, etc. From a music history perspective, very little of this is actually authentic, but that wasn't my intention. The main focus was on the effect. I'd be interested to hear what you think about it. :) https://youtu.be/uuqujiGUywM Best regards, Dustin PS: You can find the sheet music at IMSLP: https://imslp.org/wiki/Nightfall_at_the_Old_Castle_(Naegel%2C_Dustin_Sebastian)

I wanted to ask everyone how you plan to handle your DAW in the future. Microsoft, with its “too big to fail” mentality, seems to be becoming increasingly bold with each new Windows version, and you sometimes get the feeling that Microsoft is more and more becoming the owner of your PC, while you yourself are increasingly being relegated to the role of a fool who, in a world of increasingly powerful and opaque corporate structures, is simply allowed to agree to become an increasingly transparent citizen. Windows 11 in particular seems to be taking things to extremes, while powerful computers that may only be a few years too old are being dismissed as obsolete and, in true capitalist fashion, according to Microsoft's rules, should be scrapped today in order to buy a completely new computer with an uncertain expiration date. This is what it looks like when unelected, filthy rich billionaires with their money-is-no-object aura decide to play world politics. I'm getting increasingly fed up with how Microsoft handles our data, personal rights, and finances, and how it is developing an increasingly resource-hungry version of Windows that seems to be turning into a dysfunctional data octopus full of changes for the worse, and which is becoming less and less capable of fulfilling its function as a stable, powerful and long-lasting operating system for user applications. I'm currently still living in the happy Windows 7 Pro era with an eye on Windows 10 Pro (which most of you probably have at the moment), just for being able to get some newer VSTis. But I'm increasingly considering switching to a Linux version such as Linux Mint, as the increasing user-friendliness of Linux means that more and more musicians and DAW users are switching to this system, or at least, with Windows "The Eye of Sauron" 11 looming in the near future, more and more people are toying with the idea of cutting ties with Microsoft after Windows 10: So I would like to ask the DAW users among you in particular how you plan to handle this in the future. Are any of you already using Linux for music production - or has anyone even managed to get their DAW or DAWs (including additional VSTis and plug-ins), which were developed exclusively for Windows, to run completely on a modern version of Linux?

WHY ARE ALL OF THESE SONGS GOOD??? I really had to hesitate and decide for a long moment for all of them...

My favorite thing about GSM is listening to the different takes on the sources that each team comes up, and how unique those takes are between each team. We’ve got a great spread of styles here - classic rock, electronica, emo, psytrance chiptune, doom metal, and funk!! Excellent work from both teams! 6 bangers off the rip, as is the standard 😆

Can agree this one is also broken!

Sorry to keep posting these! i know they must be annoying but this track is broken! cannot download!

These are so wonderful to hear, and honestly? I have no tangible notes. Already went through the playlist THREE TIMES, and am enjoying every Goddamned second. Six bangers. Huzzah! Everyone did such lovely work, and I am proud to have helped and been a part of this already. ♥ Good luck with the votes! See ya'll in Round 2. :3

Voting Guidelines Teams were tasked with writing three mashup arrangements of two songs each, one from a Mega Man game and the other from a Mega Man Successor game. In order to make your vote, listen to the remixes and, for each pair, choose the remix that fulfills the following criteria (listed in order of importance): The remix arranges both source tunes in an interesting and identifiable way into one cohesive piece of music. The remix is well-produced within the conventions of the genre. The remix is enjoyable to listen to. Stream the remixes via Soundcloud or Download the Round 1 Remix Pack (MP3).

Thanks for this 8Track. Most of these remixes I've been listening to for years, but a few of these (especially the older ones) I either forgot about, or overlooked when I first heard them. But I have a new appreciation for them now that I listened to them in the context of this list, so I've downloaded them all!

FYI: Download-Links do not work. At least not for me at the moment

We are three days out from Halloween! I am pleased to announce that almost everyone has approved of their final tracks, and the track-list itself has been approved, and I also have the front and back covers for Vol. 1 fully done! :D Now it's time to get that website done up! ♥

Since Halloween is coming up soon... 😱💀👿

So i happened to find THIS absouletly SLAPPING metal orchestral Remix of the Cog Dancers song. Which is not only BEAUTIFUL but it just is like a Banger! So please find a way to get this song onto the site!

""Scarabaeus, known in America as Invaders of the Lost Tomb" Aaaah. That's why. I started listening to this and thought "hm, this reminds me a lot of Scarabaeus." And the longer I listened, the more I had that impression ... xD Love the original, like this remix a lot, too. Thank you. Good old times with C64 and Amiga. <sigh>

With this beautiful cover, I have fallen down the rabbit hole of OverClocked Remix. Thank you so much!!

Hi everyone! We're nearly there, folks! Today I'll be sending everyone the version of their track that's to be on the album, after any mastering/clean-up/balancing I've done to them! This is to ensure artists are 100% happy with the final product, before I send a zipped file of the tracks to my website team to get them up and on there in time for the 31st of Oct! Be on the lookout for my DMs/PMs either through Discord or on the forums soon! ♥ Can't wait to show people how cool they all sound! \o/

Yo, ho, ho... Sounds like music in my ears. :D But thank you - I'm not really keen on all the Windows security updates. I'm just coming out of the Windows 7 Pro era (and I still get occasional updates for Windows Defender). I only really need Windows 10 Pro 64-bit so that I can implement newer VSTis into my DAW and be completely satisfied for the next 10 years without having to buy a completely new computer again. I often use additional software for system security. ... Windows 10 Pro 64 recently arrived at my home. Now I'm basically just waiting for the 4 TB SATA SSD I ordered, which I will then install in my current computer and connect in place of the current 2 TB HDD (which will remain with Windows 7 Pro as an unconnected backup system without external access for possible emergencies) so that I can then install Windows 10 Pro 64-bit on the new SSD. And then I'm basically just waiting for a nice Black Friday deal on the full version of Kontakt 8 so I can finally get it along with the steel drums VSTi and harmonica VSTi from 8Dio. At least, that's the plan, which hopefully won't be thwarted by any unforeseen circumstances. ... However, if many more DAW and VSTi developers move towards Linux as an alternative operating system in the future, I might give up on Windows and Microsoft completely, because for me they symbolize rampant capitalism, data collection mania, control freakery, and a mindless throwaway society dominated by greed rather than true technological and social progress.
