Hey folks. Sorry for the false alarm earlier today with the April Fool's joke. Some people seem to be assuming that because we did a joke today about the album, this entire month of my saying that the album is done was just a lead up to the joke. If you know me and my opinions about April Fool's Day, you know that I have very strong opinions about doing any part of an A1 joke outside of April 1st. Rest assured, Water is done in terms of both music and album art. Speaking of album art, take a look at what we've got cooked up! And here's the tracklist! I've been working with @rnn who's our wonderfully talented album artist for For Everlasting Peace, Super Cartogrpahy Bros., and Apex 2015: This is the Moment, to completely revamp the visual look for The Fabled Warriors. Volume 2 is going to be a stepping off point for this series in terms of art. After Water is released, we're going to go back and redo the album art for Wind to match this new style; it'll feature Bartz on the cover against a "windy" backdrop and a wind-inspired circular pattern. The next three albums (Fire, Earth, and Dawn) will feature Faris, Galuf, and Krile. I want to thank @Otakatt and @Monobrow for their help with the original album art for Wind all those years ago. I had a specific idea for the series back then and we executed on it really well. But given some distance, I've decided I want to change up the look of the series and make things consistent throughout. I'm pretty excited. Anyway look for the real release of Water in the coming weeks. It's all coming together. All that's really left is some preparation stuff on OCR staff's side; trailer, comments, etc. Thanks for being patient.

Anyway, Here's Wonderwall A Wonderwall Tribute Album 2016/04/01 Anyway, Here's Wonderwall is a tribute to the ubiquitous classic masterpiece Wonderwall, originally released by the English pop band Oasis in 1995. Put together by your pals over at ThaSauce, and many of their friends, it's 15 tracks -- nearly 60 minutes -- of Wonderwall homage, including works by OC ReMixers such as SgtRama, Shael Riley, and Injury, in multiple styles and schools of musical thought, from acoustic guitar covers, to other acoustic guitar covers. And vaporwave. So have a listen, and enjoy. Anyway, Here's Wonderwall. DOWNLOAD HERE

This is the greatest. thing. ever.

The wait is finally over! Now that Q4 2011 is finally here, it's time for volume 2 of Final Fantasy V: The Fabled Warriors... Water! We've left no puddle unsplashed, with 10 great pieces painstakingly and wetly arranging classic FF5 themes from "The Prelude" to "Song of Storms"!

You may want to update your post and title a bit since I was confused as to what "mid guitar input devices" meant at first. Anyway, regarding your question at the bottom - no. I actually am a guitarist foremost, but in my opinion, keyboards are the superior controllers for MIDI. It feels a lot more natural to strike keys to trigger sounds than to play what is usually a phony guitar, and it's easier to enter modwheel data in real-time and toggle keyswitches on the fly. With step-record input, you don't even have to be a great pianist to get the idea down and most sample libraries are designed around keyboard input.

Great album. I only wish I didn't have to take a break to go pee every other song.

OCR is going down the drain.

First... I love this. So how do we make this more awesome than it already is? I would recommend adding some more variation to the track as it progresses. The second chorus shouldn't be exactly the same as the first. Add an extra layer, or something to add some variation. The intro could use a little work. When the drums come in, the track comes to life, but the intro just sounds a bit weedy at the moment. There are currently no cymbal hits to accentuate the ends of phrases. They really add a lot of punch to the phrases when used right. The vocals could use a bit of double tracking to give them a bit more bite. Watch this video for a demo of what I mean. Thant's all I got, but good work man

Very eager to hear Sixto's take on Lenna's theme.

would you believe that I got the email about this at work looked forward to checking it out when I got home all day and when I finally got home and went to ocremix dot org

I giggled.

we tried so hard, and got so far. but in the e OH wait wrong song. Thanks, Garpocalypse!

Fuck yeah, that's rad, man! #outofcharacter

Part of me wants to say, "Congrats, sir" and the other part wants to say "Fuck yeah, that's rad, man!" but they mean the same thing, basically.

Amazing! It’s jazzy, it’s relaxing… The style is perfectly handled, and so appropriate to the original song! Piano and guitar sound really pure… Great job!
