ENGLAIS Trailer

I want in on this. Not sure which track, but I've got my eyes on Spirit of the Night or I Closed My Eyes. I've got a few free days to throw something together, so I'll see what comes to me for either of those tracks over the weekend.

So excited for Star Ocean. I love this series. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UQOp8HvVhvo

Let's see if Jeff responds. He's what came to mind for the part but I do feel like I need another lead for color. Not certain what and the obvious for a flute is not something I'm sure of but I would have someone in mind for that. If someone out there had a desire and wanted to riff on the melody with some variations that could serve as a spring board. A live upbeat realistic performance riffing on the sections with variations is my general idea. Fleshing out the instrumentation and giving it new life.

Hmm, I didn't really pay attention to the tuning, so thanks for pointing that out. There's at least 10 grand piano's at our conservatory so I'm quite I can find one with a decent tuning, as I've never tuned a piano by myself before. And if I can't find it I'll try that pitch shifting. Ah, yes. I forgot to mention that. I properly micced the piano on my first recording which mysteriously vanished, and because I didn't have much time at my second recording I just quickly placed the microphone next to the piano. So, yeah... Normally it sounds better. Do the rest of the instruments sound fine or do I need to find another way to record those? I just used the reverb thingies that's standard on Logic and with with what sounds the best. Not sure if that's the best way, though. Hmm, yeah. So I'll improve the tuning and the recordings itself, do some EQ-ing, and see if it's better. Was there any problem with the voicings, choice of instruments, harmonies, or any other compositional related thing? Because if that's the case then I'll need to change that before all the before mentioned things. And thanks for all the help!! All of you people are awesome!!

It's replacing their Complete Composer Collection, so really you are getting more than what you used to get and at 30/mo ($7.50/wk) it would take 3 years to cover the lowest cost of CCC which was 7 libraries at around $1000. I'm not a fan of subscription services for the same reasons you listed but this is still a great deal with no need to spend it all up front. I'm planning on upgrading my EWQLSO to platinum for $275 then getting the Cloud for everything else. Once I get my new pc built, people won't be seeing me for a loooooooooong time.

Damn there goes my first idea. Nah, I'm gonna check the games plot for some lyrical solidification.

Glad to see this revived. I've always thought "Danger" could be remixed in the style of prog. metal band Andromeda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOlPFPW5Tuo. Not sure if I should try claiming it though...

Are there style/genre requirements? I am definitely interested in some of these unclaimed tracks. Quality Assurance: Dan's Sound Cloud Page I don't have anything on OCRemix 'cause in my remixin' days I was a VGMixer? and a VGMIDIer before that.

I have something, I don't know if I will have more time to work on it, but if not I'll submit what I have. Mario has many nice small sources.

Argh, ain't no stopping it... One does not simply not take part in an OCR Final Fantasy project. Brandon baby, would you mind letting me jazz with Breezy?

Hey can I claim Prophecy? I am a posted mixer - http://ocremix.org/artist/14607/sbeast

I could still be up for doing Little Sprite but I'd need some talent to pull it off. Want a live violinist who can shred. If @some1namedjeff is interested to play and riff off an arrangement, I'll put it together and claim it. Could also opt for @DrumUltimA to do some mallet/percussion and maybe @bustatunez for some basic flute/etc but need some fleshing to do around the violin first. Gotta keep that fast spirit alive so it'll need some real talent like those guys.

Wait, you were going to sing on yours?? But you sing like a sphincter.. OK you lose your claim too!! >:( I kid, actually I should have just accepted Cyril's claim, even if he sings himself, haha. Bit of a turd move. I'm sure he wasn't gonna recruit someone who sings like a pony or something like that. All high pitched and cartoony voiced.. If you want the claim of "Where I Belong" you can have it Cyril let me know. But if you turn it into an Aladdin "I can show you the world" featuring Ponies figuring out where they belong then I dunno man........ I just don't know........

Eh, some of us(a lot of us) tend to get it in at the last minute. I've got something, but I'm still touching it up and it probably won't be submitted for a day or three more.

Wow, just discovered this topic and thasauce website. All these contests! I'm always glad to participate in these as I've got to improve! So here's my 1st try here with Super Mario Bros 3. I uploaded it on thasauce too after a long research I was a little bit lost as there was no entry yet.

Let's make sure we cover a female wrestler and have her as a Diva. Shanoa or Sonia Belmont or whoever.

I am tentatively interested in this, but it entirely depends on the timeframe. If it ends up being September, probably gonna have to pass due to prior obligations. If we're looking at something more like next year, I'm probably able to jump in.

well i was going to sing on mine and no i'm not going to send you a blasted sample, strader OH AND BTW I GOT YOUR VERY PERSONAL MESSAGE BRO. it's on. and not even like donkey kong. not at all like

Hello! My name is Stahalamora and I am an Opera/Celtic Singer. Currently working on various tracks with artists from all over, I am looking to collaborate with anyone who thinks my voice would sound good to their music! Do check out my Soundcloud and don't hesitate to contact me if needed!

Oh man. This sounds like so much fun. If only my instruments weren't in disrepair. This just makes me want to make one of these into a Eurobeat song or something.

LONG LONG LONG OVERDUE UPDATE: So as you can see we have @HoboKa on board as the Co-Director. Brilliant stuff! Having spoken to him/ at length during the course of this project, I'm happy to have him on board. He knows this game, and he knows his stuff. Welcome! I've been in the wilderness for a couple weeks, but I'm happy to say that's behind me. Back on track with this album and happy to continue forwards. Still, as Hoboka himself has mentioned, if you can't reach me, feel free to contact him. Onto the state of the album: We now have 9 tracks of 34 claimed. That's almost a third, equating to one disk, not to mention the first claimed WIPs have started trickling through! This makes me happy. Keep claiming if you want to, It'll be good to see more faces Everyone already on board, who hasn't sent their first WIP in yet, I'll be contacting you presently. Happy musicmaking, folks!

Not all projects will be finished... A small few could be abandoned. Honestly I'd like to see some fresh big projects started instead of stringing along old dead ones. But if there's potential to release some of the old ones that'd be good if the music aged well. What I'd personally like to see -- more albums that start with a small tracklist (maybe 5 required songs) but allow people to claim other things based on their interest in other sources. This would keep albums from getting too large, and make sure if someone claims something it's because they put in the effort or were familiar with it to know what it was. I'd like to see a Star Ocean album done this way (small, but covering all the games) A NieR album, RPG Themes album (main themes from RPGs) Indie album (covering great songs from games like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Transistor, etc) I think this is a thing that should be done, and trying to save older projects isn't a justifiable reason to not do new stuff like this.. not to say we should outright abandon them all, but those involved should do their part to finish off the existing ones.. For example I still need to send Level99 a finished WAV for my Vroom track and I intend to do that.

Ok, I wrote a quick post this morning because I needed to go to work, here's a longer post: A good remix of Force Your Way doesn't exist...yet. The Black Mages version is awful, and the Dissidia Duodecim version doesn't utilize the good points of the theme. There are a few decent ones on Youtube by random people. But none of them is creative enough. The theme has a few awesome elements that are under-utilized even in the actual theme, and that's one of the reasons I don't like Nobuo's compositions and why I rarely remix FF. But I'll make an exception this time because FF8 is the most fun FF game next to FF12 (and FFX-2 if you count spinoffs). What I had in mind will probably require a massive collab. I'll post the exact details once I'm done with a midi arrangement. Force Your Way is by far the best boss theme in the whole FF series (even though, like I said, Nobuo fucked it up), and it deserves treatment as such. Get ready.

Oh, you asked for it. This is definitely one of my favorite aspects of the game--let's make a master list. Track by track, here we go! MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD OK I WARNED YOU 1. Once Upon a Time: Main theme of Undertale, can be split into three sections: 00:00 (theme A), :30 (theme , and 1:00 (theme C). Nice one, Toby. 2. Start menu: Theme A from Once Upon a time. Instrumentation fleshes out more depending on how many character's you've met/saved. 3. Your Best Friend: Flowey's theme. Title contains massive spoilers. 4. Fallen Down: Not much to say yet, other than it comes back later (like most of these). 5. Ruins: The melody of this is based on a recurring theme I have yet to figure out the identity of. Let's call it "Adventure Theme". 6. Uwa!! So Temperate♫: Joystick Config music. Changes depending on season. Not related to any other tracks other than the other seasons of the same theme. 7. Anticipation: Foundation of battle theme. When slowed down a lot, this is what is played at SPOILERS OMG SPOILERS: areas during the genocide run after killing everything 8. Unnecessary Tension: Perhaps one of the few tracks that doesn't come back later? But maybe it does... 9. Enemy Approaching: Primary battle theme. Believe it or not, this is the same melody as "Dogsong", "Temmie Village" and "Tem Shop". 10. Ghost Fight: First time hearing this music, which is always associated with the spookier characters--ghosts and spiders. Let's call this "ghost theme." 11. Determination: Determination theme. Heard in Asgore's battle theme as well. 12. Home: Themes A and B of "Once Upon a Time". Aww. 13. Home (Music Box): Who turned off the lights? 14. Heartache: Opening motif is Toriel's theme. It's heard in Asgore's theme--if you had any speculation about their relationship, this should clear it up. 15. sans. Sans's theme, which is also heard in the track "Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans", which I actually have yet to hear in the game itself. 16. Nyeh Heh Heh!: Papyrus' theme. Obviously also heard in Bonetrousle, as well as a bit in Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans. 17. Snowy: And thus begins the Snow area themes. This opening melody is new, but is brought back in bits and pieces in "Snowdin Town" and "Shop" 18. Uwa!! So Holiday♫: See the other one. Winter time! 19. Dogbass: Don't think you ever hear this again, though it's reminiscent of the ghost music. Hmm... 20. Another track that I don't think comes back. Hmm! 21. Dogsong: Yes, believe it or not, this is the melody from the Battle Theme. 22. Snowdin Town: First section of the track is more or less original, but similar in texture/contour to Snowy. Second section is a little more obviously from Snowy. I think the section around one minute in is the first you ever hear this material, but this comes back in Shop, and.... Hopes and Dreams. I think it's intended to be a variation on Theme B from Once Upon a Time. 23. Very similar to the music of Snowdin town. Opening melody similar in structure as opening of Snowdin, but not quite the same. Second section same sort of variation of Theme B from Once Upon a Time. 24. Bonetrousle: More Papyrus! 25. Dating Start!: Shop music, in an anime dating sim style. 26. Dating Tense: I don't think this has much connection with anything else... EXCEPT there is an accompaniment that comes in near the end which contains almost the correct pitch content to be Undyne's theme. Forshadowing? 27. Dating Fight!: Dating Start, but with some kick. 28. Premonition: Mostly ambiance I think. Can't place this progression anywhere else. 29. Danger Mystery. More ambiance. 30. Undyne: This six-note pattern is her theme. It comes back! Not sure about the melody that comes in though--I don't think I've heard that anywhere else. 31. Waterfall: Here's that "adventure" motif again! So the opening glock pattern will come back later too. But yeah, the melody that plays through this is basically the same as what plays in Ruins. 32. Run!: Piano motif made of Undyne's theme, which I guess makes sense because she plays piano. 33. Quiet Water: More "adventure" motif. 34. Memory. The first time we hear "His" theme. and SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS BY HIS THEME WE MEAN ASRIEL'S THEME 35. Bird That Carries You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap: We haven't even met her yet, but this is Alphys' theme! What could it mean?! 36. Dummy! More ghost music, but a little more fleshed out than when we heard it in Napstablook's battle. 37. Pathetic House: Same melody as Dummy! and Ghost Fight, just really boring. 38/39. Spooktune and Spookwave: I guess kind of like the ghost fight music? Eh, I dunno. 40. Ghouliday. This is just jingle bells I can't make this stuff up 41. Chill: Not sure what this progression is from. 42. Thundersnail: Also don't think this really comes back ever. Toby said he apparently made the whole track out of one xylophone sample or something. 43. Temmie Village: Once again, melody is based on the battle theme. what the heck. 44. hOI! same as above 45. NGAHHH!!: Begins with Undyne's theme, which we know (just syncopated this time), and halfway through we get that adventure theme again! I think it's interesting that Undyne is the only character that gets this theme, which otherwise is associated to environments of the game. 46. Spear of Justice: Pretty much the same structure as above, just in a different key/orchestration. 47. Ooo. Oooooooooooooooo 48. Alphys: Another three-part theme! First part at :09, second at :32, and third at 1:01. I'll describe them in the same "a" "b" and "c" terms I was using before. 49. It's showtime! Good ol' Mettaton. He actually has a bunch of themes. This opening one is like, his show's theme more than his own personal theme. 50. Metal Crusher: I love this track. Mettaton's main battle theme. This one is also in two parts. 51. Another Medium: Opens up with the same motif as Waterfall, but then has (as far as I can tell) new melodic content. I think there are basically two themes in this track: the one played on the flutey-sounding patch, and the one at :52 52. Uwa!! So HEATS!!♫: Another one of these. Summer time! 53. Stronger Monsters: I never encountered this track in the game. I don't know! I don't hear anything that I can associate to anyone else. 54. Hotel: Theme A and B of "Once Upon a Time". 55. Can You Really Call This A Hotel, I Didn't Receive A Mint On My Pillow Or Anything: Hotel with a little more spice! 56. Confession: Those monsters really are in love. Theme B of Once Upon a Time. 57. Live Report: Mettaton's "show" theme, again. 58. Death Report: Live Report, but awesome. Same "show" theme, but then there's another theme at :25. What is it? Reminds me of Undyne.. 59. Spider Dance: More ghost music! 60. Wrong Enemy?!: Music of the Fan Troll. I'm pretty sure there are zero relatable themes in this one. 61. Oh! One True Love: Toby's making fun of FF6. The windowed screen says "Undertale: the Musical" during this. This is a new melody, but comes back. 62. Oh! Dungeon: Same melody as One True Love 63. It's Raining Somewhere Else: I guess this is Sans' theme, even though I think it sounds like Toriel. I guess they're similar? So sneaky. 64. Core Approach: just the hotel music 65. CORE: This opening motif comes back in the battle you're about to have with Mettaton. Then we get a nice dose of Another Medium, and both of it's themes. 66. Last Episode! Recognize this from Mettaton's battle music? 67. Oh My... Comes from Core and Death from Glamour. 68. Death by Glamour: we've heard this opening motif a few times now, thanks for getting us ready Toby. Halfway through we get one of our motif's from Metal Crusher, and then we get the "show" theme! God, this is a good track. 69. For the Fans: "Oh! One True Love" 70. Long Elevator: come on toby 71. Undertale. It's the title track of the album! You get to hear the story of Asriel, which is why his theme is playing the whole time. You also get Themes A and B from Once Upon a Time, as usual. 72. Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans: I have yet to actually hear this in the game. So the melody is based on "sans.", and then we get some Papyrus in there as well, near the end of the track. 73. The Choice: Very ambient, but the harmony is largely based on the harmony from Undertale 74. Small shock: More harmony from Undertale. 75. Barrier: once again, come on toby 76. Bergentrückung: A German literary archetype describing the trope of a human mysteriously vanishing from the human world. Also basically Asgore's theme. 77. ASGORE. So we get Bergentrückung, and then we get Toriel's theme (and both parts of it!). Then we get "Determination". EDIT: ENDS WITH UNDYNE WHAT 78. You Idiot: Very ambient, but the notes of Omega Flowey's theme. 79. Your Best Nightmare. Man, what an incredible track. This six note motif is Omega Flowey's theme. Then, we get six variations on "Your Best Friend" (aka normal Flowey's theme) scattered throughout the track. One for each of the human souls that Omega Flowey has absorbed. 80. Finale: Flowey's theme with an awesome reharmonization. Now, you have no idea about this aspect of Flowey's character yet, but Asriel's theme comes in at :40. Come on Toby, those are some serious aural spoilers! 81. An Ending: Ruins music, then leading to the track that is basically "respite" (which comes later), which is that adventure theme. Hey, maybe we should call that theme "respite". 82. She's Playing Piano: What you hear Undyne playing in her house when you go to hang out with her. Guess what! It's part C of Alphys' theme! 83. Here We Are: Welcome to Alphys' True lab. Which is why this is just Alphys' theme--Theme A. You get the rhythm of theme C near the end. 84. Amalgam: Holy god this track is AWESOME. Don't know where the melodic material comes from. 85. Fallen Down (Reprise): There's Fallen Down again, but it's been extended! Now we get themes A, B, and C from Once Upon a Time. 86. Don't Give Up: Adventure theme (or respite or whatever). 87. Hopes and Dreams: Ah! My favorite track. Beautiful variation on Theme A from Once Upon a time in the beginning, and then most of the melody is actually based on Theme C from Once Upon a Time. We also get snippet's of Flowey's theme in the background, which is great now that we know how they're related. You also get that variation of Theme B from Once Upon a Time, which sounds more like Snowdin/Shop theme than anything else. Same with the end of this track--this is from Shop. 88. Burn in Despair: Based on those six notes from Omega Flowey. Scary. 89. SAVE the World: Once Upon a Time paired up with Flowey's theme. Pretty cool! Then we get more of Theme C from Once Upon a Time, with Flowey's theme returning to haunt the background again. 90. His Theme. Yes, Asriel's theme. Get your tissue box out, because you're going to cry a lot. (I cried a lot). I think it's the 1-5-9 motion in the left hand of the piano that really does me in. 91. Final Power: This is just some of Hopes and Dreams reversed and slowed down slightly 92. Ah, nostalgic music. This is a pretty long track, but you get all three parts of Once Upon a Time, as well as that variation from the Shop theme./Snowdin village. 93. Menu (Full): the full orchestration! You did it! 94. Respite: Epilogue music. That "adventure" theme we heard a lot. 95. Bring it in Guys: awesome credits music. Enemy Approaching, Nyeh Heh Heh/sans., Snowdin Town, Once Upon a Time, Undyne, adventure theme, Death by Glamour, CORE, Bergentrückung, Fallen down, Once Upon a Time. 96. Last Goodbye: More of some Hopes and Dreams/SAVE the World style music, mostly working with Themes B and C from Once Upon a Time. The end of this is awesome. Finishes out with Theme A from Once Upon a Time. 97. But the Earth Refused to Die: Heard just before fighting Undyne the Undying. Variation on that "adventure" theme. 98. Battle against a true hero: Theme reserved for special boss battles in the genocide run. That opening theme comes back later. We get that adventure theme again! 99. Power of NEO. Same motif from the last track. This one is pretty short, because it doesn't last long. 100. MEGALOVANIA: This is a track from Homestuck, apparently. No other themes from the game in here, as far as I know. 101. Good Night. Good night, goatmom. Once Upon a Time again. Whew I can't believe I did all that! Have fun!
