Hi all! I'm working on a project to recreate the 1990s Goof Troop cartoon theme song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq65oOtwRdM) for the original SNES game. The goal is to add it to the game's title screen as a ROM hack. I found this version someone made to sound like a Genesis game, but it was made with a VST in a normal composition tool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20SOO4AmLl8 Do y'all know any folk who are really good with SNES' assembly-based music formats (particularly Capcom's) and making chiptunes sound good? Would love to collaborate. I'm in a Discord server with the guys who have already modded the game and made an editor, but I think we need someone who can make the brrs really sing. ;D Thank you!

Ok the website has been updated guys and everyone's credits and contributions are properly on there now, and in the .txt file, and you can now listen to the songs and download them directly via the hosting site!! Woo!! \o/ Thank you colorado weeks for putting in the extra graft, and Argle for doing the metadata tags on the MP3 files, and showing me how to do them! Have a wonderful November everybody! https://overclockedhalloween.boo/

:0 I love that song! \o/ You should totally do it!

Oh Yes! Yes! This is the sound. This glorious sound! We've forgotten the sound for so long.

If I do join, I'm thinking of doing "Another Winter" from Scott PIlgrim vs The World...

You're correct. This is intentional, but I can hear the issue. I would like to have an Emaj13 chord there. I might have to change that section entirely or figure out what to do with that part.

Nah, no worries, seriously! Organizing an album project with many people involved is not as easy as it might look like from the outside, and even less so when real life stuff gets in the way. It's very likely to miss things and commit extremely minor but somewhat embarrassing mistakes and more stuff like that. That happens to me ALL the time with my own stuff too haha, and I'm always doing stuff with lots of people involved. The thing with the right subforum to post the thread is not a big deal either. If I were you I might hesitate about bothering people in General, because maybe doubting about how appropiate or how important or worth it is, as I also tend to have this kind of thoughts. "Post your remixes" sounds more fitting if weren't because that's more like "Post OUR remixes" with so many other people involved. So totally understandable And regardless of all that, you did an excellent work organizing, seeking for people interested and especially on the mastering for all tracks. I wasn't confident with my own mixing but the way it sounds now in the album version I can quite notice the improvement, and how you tamed the annoying fluctuation of frequencies and other issues that are pretty common in my own mixes, and all sounds quite smooth in comparision. Can't wait for next year to craft more spooky stuff for this if you plan to do this as a yearly thing!

Yeah sorry...I guess with all the stuff I was juggling around that night, some stuff slipped through the cracks and I can swap the photos. The 'creature' thing is Oogie Boogie -- IYKYK, but I can try to add your liner notes in-post, will just need a means to swap the .zip file that's attached to the website. Also I am aware that some people here seem incredibly disappointed and thrown off by me posting it here and not in General, and for that I apologize and if that seems like a hitch in the process and I fucked up in delivering the goods to the wider masses, the only thing I can do for that is apologize and keep it in mind for next time. I actually wasn't sure where to place this on the forum, whether it should've been "General" or "Post Your Remixes", etc. But I'll swap the pictures, adjust the liner notes and can only hope posting it in "General" gets eyes on it. And if that was too late on my part, like I said, I posted it all over Discord VGM communities and spaces as well. . . However, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Hey! Kinda weird to post a comment on my own track, but there's just a couple things I wanted to respond to from what was said by the judges. First, @Chimpazilla the fact that you assumed this was @jnWake's own arrangement was like... one of the biggest compliments I got in a long while 🥰 You are right on how the original source totally fits his style, tho, and that's why I called him for keys. Also to @Hemophiliac, you are right on that more stuff could be added after the outro and voice clips. I can totally imagine more action coming, with the initial riff along with some drum hits caving the path for a somewhat funky section and then having a solos duet between guitars and keys. I note that for a potential future versions if everyone else involved agrees (maybe just toying on my own DAW with the additional stuff and then @minusworld adding the extra parts on his own mix project). And in general, thanks all 3 judges for the nice comments! I was quite discouraged after the first rejected track because that one was too much personal in many ways, so I'll consider submitting more tracks like this that, while proud of them, aren't that important in a personal/emotional level. In fact I was already toying with the idea of submitting the track 5 from the same Phantasia tribute album, which has a very similar lineup.

Oh, and just a note, since it was not included in neither the website or the txt inside the zip download, worth adding the credits list for my own track, because the way it's shown right now it might look like it's a solo track, and unfortunately I could never archive that level alone 😅 DeLuxDolemite - orchestral percusions (timpani, bells, taiko drums and cymbals) donut - clarinet jnWake - lead synths (organs, harpsichord, music box) minusworld - bass robshoppe - rhythm guitars Serrin's Toes - metal drums tibonev - lead guitars Unknown Pseudoartist - arrangement, programming, SFX, mix, etc I'm still planning to finnish a music video for it in my usual weird style but it'll take at least a few more days.

Oops! Haha, I commented in the other thread before noticing this one. So funny and also kinda ironic considering the plan to post it in General was to give it more visibility, yet I noticed the one in Recruiting first :D Anyways, glad to be part of this spooky cool thing! I finally managed to listen to all tracks and just saying everyone did an awesowe work! Special mention to the Golden Sun one, maybe a bit biased because how much I love that game, but still have nothing but sweet words about how great and original the reinterpretation is, since the source is that extremely different (more into the spiritual or mysterious vibes rather than dark or spooky, yet fitting so well as a soundtrack for a horror movie or whatever!

I agree that this subforum might be not the most appropiate if we want more people to notice the album release. After all, this is more like the place to find people interested to make something new, rather than showing the world the cool stuff that was just already done. As a former lurker in the scene (and including these forums) I might not even check here at all. But yeah, I understand the hesitance, and even more so in times when forums in general aren't as active as used to, unfortunately. So, if anything, my complain is that... why not adding the spooky front cover artwork to the first post too, instead of just the spooky Santa or whatever that creature is? :P

What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

From the vibraphone and shakers, I almost got a groovy old school spy feeling going on with this one. Love the scratch sfx and the overall arrangement of the source here.

Well, you've got about 49 days to get something done. If you believe you can do that, then welcome aboard.

I'm still relatively new, but I'd like to participate.

I'm having the strangest sense of deja vu right now 😛

(Bit late, but The Coop had a point.) 🦇 Ahhhhhhh, yes. . . 'Tis the time, my children -- The Witching Hour *(GMT)! 🦇 Gather 'round!--for the Oogie Boogie Man has come to me bearing gifts on this eventful All Hallows' Eve! 🎃 It is (a)live, my darlings! The first ever 'Unofficial' An OverClocked Halloween, Volume I! 🪦 https://overclockedhalloween.boo/ 🪦 Get it now while it's *F R E S H* from the witches' brew, empowered by the fires of Hell and Brimstone!!! 😈 Have it in the background for your sordid partying affairs! Groove away the blasted day on-through till the dead of night with these wonderful tunes! I'd like to thank everyone who believed in this project: helped out, made the website, endorsed it, made their tracks for it (and placed them trustingly and lovingly into my claws to help produce and master), AND (lastly but not least-ly) those of **YOU** who're downloading the .zip folder *RIGHT NOW* and partaking of the treats (and tricks) this marvelous day! 🧡🌹 Thank you so, so much, from the bottom of my hearts (all three of them!!); have a lovely Halloween, and I look forward to spreading the spooky cheer next autumnal season, October 2026! ENJOY--and remember kids: "don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly [humans]. It renders you powerless!" 💀

Probably should've but forum traffic is kinda slow regardless, and I did shout it all over the Discord multiverse. So. . . I'd reckon it got out there. I'll keep it in mind for next time. ♡ And I can shift this post to General I suppose as well.

Nice. Very nice. In fact, you might say this is **puts on sunglasses** Nice Work. However, I think this was the wrong place to put the album release thread. When AOCC albums are ready, I make a post in General Discussion. It gets more traffic overall, and it puts the album release in a more noticeable spot. Not as many people are going to look in the Recruiting forum for album releases, especially for something seasonal like AOCH (and AOCC). That said, congrats everyone on getting it done and out the proverbial door 😊

ASTROVERSE DIMENSIONS - Beta Shell (2025) pls leave some feedback! Have Fun :)

it's a great track but honestly it sounds like 1:1 cover instead of a remix

Didn’t do any vocals this round, them spooky noises are all foley found on Splice :)

I didn't touch any Windows system since 2008-2009, when my transition to GNU/Linux and free software programs began. The times when Ubuntu was still good, basically. Of course my situation is kinda different, since I was not interested in music production back then (I barely started on this around 2020-2021, or arguably late 2022 - mid 2023 if you count only the serious attempts). So I hadn't any problem with any of the creative subjects or programs I was active in at the moment, as I had a proper replacement working for pretty much all programs I was used to before the transition, even if some of these weren't the most convenient. And regarding user interfaces and customizability and all that I couldn't be happier. Used to hard-closed and walled gardens all felt so fresh and so much like "my own system" in comparision... With music making, however, I was already hearing/reading comments online about how the situation on GNU/Linux and free software was still pretty rough and many steps away from other systems. So when I got into this (by totally accidental ways) in 2020 I expected the worst, but to my surprise all was a lot easier than expected. Surely a lot of stuff improved and lots of new programs, plugins, etc making life easier in comparision to 1 decade earlier. And nowadays I know of a few examples of musician doing great stuff using exclusively free software and on GNU/Linux systems. The guitarist Daniel Bautista is a good example, if anyone knows him or is curious to check. Although totally experimental and bizarre stuff I wouldn't recomend to everyone, the avant-garde band Sebkha-Chott is another curious example that also relies purely on free software for their live shows and other related stuff. So definitively things can be done, and not even needing the privative DAWs everyone is used to. And still with Reaper having its own native version and Wine working pretty well to open Windows programs, Jack as low latency sound server, etc... probably easy to do stuff without even needing to migrate regarding your favorite DAW. It's weird, as a person who was long fleeing away from the many problems of Microsoft and other "big tech" companies, to see so many people joining such campaigns precisely now, but kinda optimistic about that. Hopefully will see similar steps happening regarding the situation with Youtube and the move to free and federated alternatives instead (already started prioritizing on Peertube myself).
