Announcing, "Full Circle" A VGM Tribute to the Moon Missions and Spaceflight The moon landings of the Apollo Program in the 1960s and 70s thrust space flight into the public imagination in a way never before seen, inspiring tv shows, movies, games, toys, books, AND a nascent video game industry. The silicon chips invented for the program would go on to power the first home computers, and the apollo command module's fly-by-wire 'picklestick' control, would evolve into the near-ubiquitous arcade joystick just a few years later. Early game developers were inspired by the imagery and challenges of the space program, introducing games like "Lunar Lander" and "Asteroids". Over 50 years later, that inspiration continues, from Ducktales to Destiny, and Mass effect to Mario. So, as NASA prepares to return astronauts to lunar orbit with Artemis II in early 2026, I wanted to take this time to launch a VGM tribute to the moon missions, manned spaceflight and their continuing impact on video games. The Album This will be a small, quick turn album, which we will try to get released on OCR to coincide with the launch of Artemis II **The Theme/Tracks** No specific tracks are planned. ReMixers are free to choose any source they want provided it fits any one of the following three categories: 1. The source is from a moon level/area i.e. Ducktales-The Moon 2. The source is specific to space travel 3. The source references the moon i.e. Golden Sun TLA -Full Moon in Garoh or Majora's Mask-Final Hours Let's try to steer clear of any vgm that's specifically "alien" or alien planet areas. If you have an idea you think fits the album but maybe not the categories above, run it by me and I'll do my best to be accommodating! Claiming Tracks Claims are first come, first serve. Each claim needs to be unique (no duplicate tracks). We're aiming for a single disk album -say 12-15 tracks to keep the schedule manageable. If we have more interested participants than that we'll see what can be done Please DM me with claims, post them below, or joins us on discord ! Collaborations are highly encouraged! Schedule/Deadlines Artemis II is currently scheduled to launch sometime between February and April of 2026. That means if we want to be sure we make that date we probably need everything finished in early January..... On the downside...that's a very quick turn On the upside....so was Apollo! Current Claims Mastering - Zack Parrish 1. Halo Reach - "Broken Bonds" - Gravity Gauntlet 2. Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door - "X-naut Fortress" - Lucas Guimaraes 3.

If you are interested in making a claim, or helping out in any of the capacities above feel free to post or DM me! *note, due to the short timeline, it is preferred that remixers have a demonstrated history of meeting deadlines and that mastering be taken by someone who has done it for a previous OCR project. with that said, We are GO for Launch! (all puns intended)

Maynard Keenan is that you?? Hehe I love the style and vocals reminiscent of certain musical groups I've listened to. Very interesting spin, and with the kind of angst Cloud goes through in FF7, this blends right in and I dig it. I can't speak to the RE part since I've never played one, but fantastic collab!

Sauvemente!? . . .Ay, mi los dios, suavemente. ♡ I'm sure I can come up with *something* for it. :P If you need help with anything else, just say.

Thanks Zack! Glad to have you on board!

Greetings Fellow OC'ers. I'm RJ (AKA RJ Van Xetten) and I've been listening to OC Remix since the early djpretzel launch at the wee age of 18 years old LOL (yeah I'm old hahah). I've always loved listening to everyone's remixes, and arrangements that they do, and it really inspired me to become a music producer. A little about me. I'm 44 years old, from Los Angeles, CA. I've been a gamer my whole life, but not so much as I got older. My first system I owned was the NES, and my first game's were Duck Hunt, Gyromite and came with R.O.B. (yes I still have him, no I won't sell him LOL). I'm a Trance/Hardstyle/Techno/EDM Producer since 2003 and DJ. I've played lots of festivals including Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC for you ravers out there!), Ultra Music Festival, and Dreamstate (playing again this year in November). My music is all over spotify/youtube/soundcloud. I know this probably is all boring stuff, but just wanted to drop by and say HELLO! Have a great morning/noon/evening to all! -RJ

Yeah, things got quieter for djp on the site because…*checks notes*…some guy who posted on PPR a lot decided to leave. Sure. The ego you have to have to come back to OCR, comment on a year-and-a-half old goodbye thread from our site’s founder, and somehow make it about yourself and your dumb grievances is astounding.

Welcome to Game Set Mash!!, a team-based, long-form competition format for the OC ReMix community! Current Status Now recruiting teams! Check out the What are the rules about teams? section of this post for info. Post in this thread if you want to participate. Scoreboard 2 points are awarded for each submission, and additional 2 points were awarded for each match-up won. In the case of a tie, 1 point is awarded to each team. | Mega Man | Successors | --------+-----------------+-------------------+ Round 1 | 0(sub) 0(won) | 0(sub) 0(won) | Round 2 | 0(sub) 0(won) | 0(sub) 0(won) | Round 3 | 0(sub) 0(won) | 0(sub) 0(won) | --------+-----------------+-------------------+ Total | 0 | 0 | What are the games we're remixing? The time around we're celebrating the music of Mega Man and the music of games that have taken up Mega Man's mantle. Mega Man - Mega Man 4, Mega Man X4, Mega Man Zero 4 Successors - Mighty Gunvolt Burst, 30XX, Gravity Circuit Each franchise features more games than just the initial three, but for the purposes of this competition we're going to limit to those first games. What are the rules about teams? I want to make things easy and accessible for people to participate, so there's no maximum on team size, but I'll be asking people to do their best to even out the teams once we have all of our participants signed up. There are no rules about who has to be a primary arranger for a track from week to week. Teams will be free to organize and determine how each of the three remixes gets covered. Using your teammates for collaboration and feedback is highly encouraged. Game Set Mash!! is run primarily on OCR's Discord server, so you need to make sure you join up there. I'm new to GSM, how does the competition work? Participating remixers will form 2 teams of at least 3 members each. Each team will be assigned a set of 3 games. The competition lasts 6-7 weeks, with 10-day mixing rounds alternating with 4-day voting periods. At the start of the mixing round, each team will choose and reveal 1 source tune from each of their 3 games. Each source will be paired with another source from the opposing team, for a total of 3 pairs. Each team will be responsible for writing 3 remixes for the week that combine (or mash) both source tunes in each pair. At the end of the mixing round, we'll upload the remixes and have a community vote. Voters will vote on the 3 remixes that did the best job of mashing the two source tunes together. Teams will accumulate a score based on how many of the community votes they win. In the next mixing round, we'll rotate which games get paired up with opposing games.

I've heard quite a few variations on this theme over the 20 some odd years I've perused this site, and this is definitely a top notch variation! Love the instrument choice and execution. The one crazy mutation in the middle was a bit off-putting, but I suppose that's the point in Dancing Mad. Anyway I'd also like to thank jnwake specifically from this track for all the collaborations I've observed you in. Artists like you keep this site alive with new music, I feel like as I've been working my way backwards from the newest music back to the very beginning I am frequently seeing your name on the tracks on the first couple pages, so that's awesome for OCR and listeners like me.

So, I didn't start anything on my arrangement, and honestly I'm not that motivated by the source and idea at all. However, some time ago I had a weird dream that was pretty inspiring for a totally different source and style that also happens to be VERY fitting with the usual christmas vibe. It's the generic city theme from Illusion of Gaia, usually known as "Live City" and mostly linked to South Cape, the main protagonists' hometown. In genre terms the idea is to be some classic 70s rock in the style of Deep Purple, with heavy use of hammond organs and simple guitar riffs, but also some bells and more stuff. Including an ambiance intro with church bells, street noises and kids playing around (planning to record most of that myself during one of my walks out). A lot simpler and softer than my usual stuff, but still a vibe I'd love to try. Basically pretending to give that kind of nostalgic vibe commonly associated with our childhood playing with fellow kids and family members in the city during christmas times, this time without any grumpy stuff :)

hello world 🤖 in these uncertain times, i think we need a little levity to get us through our day to day. we're all seriously serious about studying our craft within the context of VGM music; why not get a little silly with it? that's right baby, we're doing an unofficial OCR album for April Fools Day!! Questions: Q: Why "FishMas?" Certain Francophone cultures, as well as Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands call April Fool's Day "April Fish." It's less of a mouthful than "An OverClocked April Fools Day." Q: What can I FishMix? A: Unlike our other seasonal contemporaries (AOCC, AOCH) you are only limited to VGM music for this album. as much as I would love to hear some more Gangnam Style electric kazoo 9-bit remixes, I gotta draw the line somewhere to keep it somewhat within the OCR umbrella. FishMixes of other ReMixes are very welcome! Please submit your covers of a cover of a cover of a cover of "Hotel Dusk!" Q: What can/can't I put in my FishMix? Cooking up a FishMix, however silly, still requires some care. - Please keep FishMixes between thirty seconds and ten minutes. Multiple entries are allowed but are limited to 4 per arranger. You're welcome to collab on as many as you like, though! - No hate speech/slurs targeted at particular groups or other individuals. It's poor form to punch down in comedy. - There's nothing funnier than 34518s, paulstretched PINGAS or some sensual liccing, but please no explicit depictions of sexual content or heavy violence. (Gunshots as percussion or an occasional sexy moan is fine and will certainly get a chuckle out of me.) Other than that, anything goes! Keep in mind that this is an Unofficial OCR album. You are not beholden to their (impossibly high) standards, but if you're interested in submitting your FishMix to OCR please consult with their Submission Standards and Instructions page. Q: Can I submit previously written material? Absolutely, as long as it hasn't appeared on a previous FishMas album in its current state! We welcome all DoD Alts, Oops All Shitposts entries, PRC/MnP/etc. compo entries, and auditory shitposts you torture your loved ones with as long as you're the one who wrote it. Q: Can I submit entries made with GenAI song generators like Suno? No, but you're welcome to make your own AI-pril 1st album somewhere else. Q: What format should my submission be in? WAV, 16 or 24bit, 44.1kHz or 48kHz, peak -6dB pre-master. Please no limiters on the master bus to achieve this. Any deviation from this may result in your track not sounding how you'd like on release. Q: How do I submit? you can send your WAV file (or a link to the file) via email to a1@coloradoweeks.io or to @coloradoweeks through Discord. Please include info in the email body about your title, your artist name, and any other collaborators. Please keep your file names descriptive, it makes wrangling all of this much easier. Q: What's the Deadline? Deadline is March 22nd, 2026 at 11:59 EST. Q: I want to participate, but nothing's biting. Can I get some inspiration? Sure you can!

I'm probably semi useless outside of the Mega Man sources, but please count me in for team Mega Man

Man, this ska twist on Dr. Wily’s Castle is such a mood totally flips the track into something bright and fun while still keeping that Mega Man intensity. I’d be down to hear more ska-style remixes on OCR for sure!

Think we've got the front and back cover art / font for the album sorted now! <3 @ArikXu_Hugo How's your track coming along? :D

Also, the website is being worked on! HOORAY! \o/ Thank you again @colorado weeks, @tibonev & @gravitygauntlet for your hard work on it! :D Also, the roster of people participating has grown! I will be updating the front-post very soon to reflect that and those who've turned theirs in already! 🧡🦇

I recently re-downloaded all the Sonic albums from OCR for my Sonic archive that I wanna rebuild. But when I tried to fix the seven broken bonus tracks from Sonic 3K Project Chaos using Audacity (like the instructions said), the program wouldn't open them, saying "MP3 decoding failed". Goldwave did the exact same thing. Is there another way to fix the tracks? I NEED this collection! EDIT: I was able to fix the broken tracks using an older version of Audacity, so if you're gonna re-download Project Chaos, that's what I recommend doing until there's a permanent fix for this...

Here's my rock cover of Rogue's Theme from X-Men Vs. Street Fighter. The music from this game and the other Capcom versus games is simply phenomenal. Always a pleasure to cover these themes.

The whole soundtrack is pretty good, I recommend you check more of them out. Not only from this game but the other Capcom versus games also have solid theme songs (some which I've also covered) That's an interesting take on my tone, and I'm glad to hear as I like that kind of sound given that it was big in the 80s. It's great that you're picking up the guitar. it's a fantastic instrument and both useful for rhythm and leads which makes it a complete instrument. It's good what you're doing to get better. If I had the best universal advice to give, it's this: whatever you do (scales, chords, improvisation, etc.) always start slow with a metronome, and slowly increase the speed once you've mastered it and played it perfectly. That way you learn well and don't make mistakes later. It's like when lifting weights, you first learn the technique well and slowly increase your strength progressively. You do the same here with your coordination and skill. You want to develop the muscle/mind connection and do so progressively without rushing the process. To answer to your question, I've played for about 11 years now. I'm self taught. Learned from watching videos and learning songs. I think I could've been better much earlier had I learned the correct techniques and did what I suggested above. Learning technique well from the beginning will save you so much time and frustration in the long run. Thanks for the words, I'm glad you liked this cover. Check out the rest of my channel if you wish to hear more of my work, or in streaming services like Spotify, etc.

A previously unreleased remix. 😎

I've already thanked you in Discord, but I'll say it again—thank you! Your critique really helped me identify areas I need to improve, mainly mixing and EQing, so I can make my basslines and drums hit harder. Like I mentioned in my original post, my goal was to create something pretty close to 1:1 to practice composing and understand how some of my favorite producers build their tracks. But I think it’d be cool to venture off the beaten path and create something more unique within that framework. I might take that approach with this track down the line. I'm still learning, but this feedback has been super valuable to my growth!

Hola, name's Mystwalker. I've known OCRemix for a long time, had people tell me I should join since around 2011 maybe? But never quite joined until now (big thanks to @Master Mi for giving me the final nudge to join). Mostly due to my imposter syndrome + being a dumb kid. Here is a little bit about me I guess, I'm not great at this stuff but here it goes: I'm a self-taught composer, keyboardist and percussionist. Started my music journey in 2009. My Messy Music Journey: 2009: Uploaded my first "remix" – PSX RPG Maker's "Home 3" with... let's call it "aggressive soundfont reskinning." 🤡 The Dark Ages: Churned out many such "reskinned bangers" (heavy sarcasm intended). Hey, we all start somewhere! Evolution: Gradually leveled up to actual arrangements + originals. Kept everything public – the good, the bad, the cringe. My YouTube's basically a 218-video journal of my musical growth. 2022 Hiatus: Vanished to practice like a hermit. Did commissions, released some commercial stuff. Came back recently to revive the channel with slightly less terrible skills! Been obsessed with VGM since I was a kid – 8-bit and 16-bit soundtracks are the lifeblood of everything I create (even if it does not sound like it). I remember recording video game music from the TV speakers into cassette tapes because I loved it so much and then going out with my Walkman of shitty VGM recordings thinking I was the coolest. lol tools of the trade: Include but not limited to - FL Studio, Kontakt libraries like Shreddage (both drums and guitar), Damage 2, Orange Tree Samples' guitars, Omnisphere, Sylenth, Serum, Engine 2 libraries, KORG VSTis, Roland VSTis, Arturia synths VSTis, many others all but those are the most regular use. But yeah not sure what else to say - I'm terrible at introductions, but must say I am loving the place and it feels just like the golden years of internet forums! Something I used to indulge in a good bit! TL;DR: Long-time Self-taught composer / remixer | FL Studio addict | Terrible at intros. Cheers everyone. 🍻

Signing off on this one on the same side as my fellow Js here. Leads feel a touch dull across the board, like there's a lack of excitement in the upper-mids, but I also think that what's presented is good enough to get across the bar. Love the varied use of portamento on the harmony synths, especially the intro (:00 - :28) and re-intro (1:09 - 1:23). Doesn't overstay its welcome, either - 2:39 goes a lot faster than I expected on first listen, though it's really more like 2:30 if I discount the fade-out. Still enough for our purposes! YES

Ah, I remember this first Zebra2 lead patch, it is called "avien" and it is still gorgeous! What an interesting arrangement here, I agree that the three sources go together super seamlessly. I really like this varied and unique arrangement and soundscape. The chord progressions strike me as just a bit awkward here and there but it all mostly works and sounds luscious. I love all the changing time signatures, I'm a sucker for varied time sigs in a piece, it helps to keep things very groovy and interesting all the way through. Production and mastering are on point, let's go! YES

It got quieter at that moment because I left. No, actually I left because it got way too toxic. At that point I finally discovered that my self worth isn't based on if I can get the unpleasent individuals on OCR to like me so I up and left. No regrets.

Results time. RonaldPoe got 3 points, but still gets the last place wooden spoon. Shid0 got 1 point, but he voted himself up to 4 points and fourth place. Supercoolmike collected 6 points and gets third place. PlanarianHugger managed to get 9 points, enough for a second place. And the winner is Dex with 11 points. Dex congratulations. Another win for you, you may choose the source for PRC354. Send the source to me (with a MID/MP3 file, otherwise send a second source with a MID file) by PM, other options are PM me @ ThaSauce or by e-mailing to bambombim@gmail.com (I prefer a PM @Ocremix). Send your source as fast as you can, but before next Monday (31 July), 10:59 AM ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT). You may select any source for any game, but not a source with an OverClocked remix or a source which has been used in PRC before. An overview of the past PRC's can be found in the following links: http://sites.google.com/site/bambombim/prc http://bambombim.googlepages.com/PRCRemixList.doc (also downloadable via the link above). Check the ThaSauce Page for the results and votes. Next round is already up and ends this sunday (July 30th) http://ocremix.org/community/topic/46001-prc353-a-tale-of-a-remix-vagrant-story/

Since nobody besides Dextastic has voted I decided to add Shid0's song to ThaSauce. You can now vote for that song as well. Deadline is this monday, 10:59 AM ThaSauce time. Welcome to the voting stage The mixing stage is over. This round has 5 songs. The following people compete against each other: RonaldPoe Dex Supercoolmike PlanarianHugger Shid0 (if you want a different color, let me know by replying or sending me a PM).

However, they may not vote for themselve, they get a free first place if they vote, so it might help. Non participants are encouraged to vote to decide the winner and leave comments. Dex already voted, you may enter the vote in ThaSauce as well but it is not necessary (I can add the points manually). · OneUp has a vote that counts twice. · Always look in this thread to find out who's the winner of the round after the voting stage instead of only looking at ThaSauce for the results. Especially since some people might vote by sending me a PM. You have until THIS Monday, July 24th 10:59 AM ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT) to vote. This is tomorrow already. If you vote by PM make sure that your top 3 (or top 2 for participants) is clear. I prefer something like this: (To) Bundeslang (if you follow the link you won’t have to add my name). (Subject) PRC ### Vote (Message): 1: (remixer A ) 2: (remixer B ) 3: (remixer C ) (reasoning) I will post the feedback given in the PM’s and the votes in this thread. The winner may choose the source tune for PRC354. Check the ThaSauce Page to vote or click here to send a PM.

@Estrang your requested remixes are available! Nice to see some good representation on this one. Due to the late submissions I guess we vote by messaging Bundeslang.

Sorry 'im quite late, didn't have much time to work on this piece and I wish I had more, but i joined late so... Anyway here's my version: https://www.mediafire.com/?xclib3rwxydpstm

The round is open. Estrang, if you vote I'll make it a double vote since you made the request and you're waiting 7 years already. Hopefully at least one song will be submitted.
