Ahh, excellent! The original tracks are two of my favorites from the game, and this does supreme justice to the source material. Funny enough, I never even noticed the common motif thread between the two until I heard them blended together here. Nicely done!

PLEASE REPORT ANY INCORRECT INFORMATION AND/OR INACCURACIES HERE IN THIS THREAD. THANK YOU! --- FAQ --- Q: What is the OCR Mascot Bio Project all about? A: The OCR Mascot Bio Project has enabled visitors of the site to click the mascots (game characters) in the upper right corner of the page and read about who they are, what games they appear in, and links to remixes of those games. Also, the bio pages include links to other pages for more information on the characters. Go here for more info. Q: How can I help? A: We would appreciate being informed of any typos, dead links or other problems in the bios (unless already listed under the known issues at the bottom of this post). If new games are added to OC ReMix and any of the mascot characters appear in them, please inform us so that we can update the appearance lists. Every so often, the site staff adds new mascots to the site - when this happens, you are welcome to help us write bios for them. Please read this before you do: http://ocremix.org/info/Mascot_Project_FAQ_and_Guidelines For reference, the following mascots bios are claimed and in progress: Duck Hunt Rosalina The following mascot bios are up for grabs: Abe Boo Chell Dart Feld Joe Musashi The King of All Cosmos Midna Professor Layton Ristar Roll Saren Arterius Shulk Spyro the Dragon Tanooki Mario

I suspect you did the mastering on Zoltan's song, Brandon? I was thinking of having a single person do the mastering for the entire album to avoid having loudness levels all over the place, since the range of styles on this is pretty broad. Maybe you can master the whole thing?

Alright, I have WIPs from Angel, Dan and SBeast! Thanks guys, they all sound great. I'll get some feedback back in a few days; they sound really good, however.

You can click the upper left icon in the posting container. Leftmost, near "Font", "Size", etc. Might be better to have an Alt message for that.

...To a metal remix of Brave Fencer Musashi music. It's good. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFsBr7ESzPM

Heh, I'd tune in but my knowledge of French is minimal xD

Mario Galaxy 1&2 are some of the best Mario soundtracks of all time. :/ In any case, there are WIP's on the Kickstarter page, and Grant + Dave Wise are the composers, so no one can do the "original vibe" better than them.

Answer 1: Post some examples of music you've made with your current string samples. Evaluation can help people tell you if your problems are easily solvable by clever programming or if the samples are the problem themselves. Answer 2: Good samples will get you there faster than wasting time on awful ones. Action Strings is mediocre; it's just a bunch of pre-made "action" phrases. Repeated staccato rhythms and the like. Session Strings Pro is a super dry sound, and the recordings aren't great; I don't even think it has legato scripting. It's kind of love or hate; Session Strings gives you the "pop" string sound really easy but you can't really do actually intimate string stuff with it. It's good in band ensembles, but it absolutely does not function as a string orchestra; it's too thin. Kontakt Strings are... pretty mediocre as well. They sound thin, and don't offer much dynamic or variation. You can drop them as chordal backgrounds, that's about it. What kind of string writing do you want to do? That can better help answer the question as to what string library would be better for you. This is a running list of the pretty good string libraries around right now: -Spitfire Sable -Spitfire Mural -Audiobro LA Scoring Strings -Berlin Strings -CineSamples CineStrings CORE -Various Libraries from Vienna Symphonic -Cinematic Strings 2 (this is what I have, and it's wonderful)

Yay, keys are back! Really love this rendition, y'allz.

My band chiptune rock band Marshall Art was invited to contribute a B-side to a split single by our good friend AutoRemi-PK, and we happily obliged. FREE DOWNLOAD: http://weeklytreats.net/album/18-autoremi-pk-marshall-art SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/marshallart/the-lost-art-weekly-treats-18 "The Lost Art" was originally part of the concept behind the Marshall Art suite on our debut album but was left out in favor of a more cohesive piece. The song is an alternate ending; a "bad future" companion to the cheery anthem which eventually took its place on the album.
