Hey, everyone. As I'm sure you all know, video game streaming via places like Twitch has been exploding in popularity as of late. On the fringe of this, there are a few people on here (myself included) who like to stream music production sessions. Recently, Twitch announced & implemented a new channel specifically for music stations and music performances/production, granting legitimacy to this type of non-vg playing streams. I thought it would be helpful to create a central list of all OCR members who are actively streaming (both Music & VG playing) so we can pull together as a community and support each other. Feel free to reply with info on streams (and their primary focus) or any related discussion and I will try to keep this initial post updated with links to everyone's streaming channels. Also, this could be a good place to reply to in order to notify more people that you are going live.

Same. Also-I'M SO HUNGRY I COULD COOK AN OCTOROCK. I CAN'T WAIT TO COOK SOME DOGONGOS. MY BOI-THIS IS WHAT COOKS STRIVE FOR. We need these quotes in the game. Seriously.

I hope it's okay to reply to this post despite the competition being over and not being a participant or a musician myself. I just like the soundtrack a lot and wanted to express how wonderful it is to see other takes on one of its best tracks. I really liked the mood, the slower pacing and the sound due to the use of chosen instruments in "The Way to the Sky" by Chalis It feels quite interpretative to me, but in the first it is this mood in this track that brings back memories of other Xeno soundtracks (by Mitsuda), the music box themes he did so well but more (appropriately) futuristic music box piece. "Wait for the Moment" by DusK did not feel initially much different from the original, but when it goes into the full rock mode, it gets a distinctively different, own personality. (The energy ties well with the rest of the OST, actually! ) Loved the vocal work by Starleeter, very beautiful! I also loved the instrumentation in "Retrospect" by Kat, the piano (?) adds a lot of atmosphere that has somehow similar vibe to many piece of (again) Mitsuda's Chrono Cross work. Something very nostalgic... (Even though there is also piano in the original piece, it feels different.) I am very sorry, but I did not feel Matt Greco's vocals much here; he has a great voice and can sing very well, but some parts of the song still sounded kind of awkward to my ears. I don't know if this is just something that is not ideally suited for him or if the vocal melody would work better with his voice if it were a bit different. (Or maybe even different lyrics? I suppose this would go out of scope of this competition then though.) In any case, as a fan of Tetsuya Takahashi's games and their great soundtracks, I am very happy to have listened to all these wonderful remixes and want to thank all artists who participated for their work!

If you wish to try out some of the library, there is a free sampler version for you to check out (or at least I could've sworn there was). This was the one that I saw before the new ISW website update: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59338379/ReForged Sampler.zip

You're the most disappointing poster on this thread. Just kidding. I thought Skyward Sword was the most disappointing Zelda game, personally. Music was weird and whimsical, world felt really empty (I get it was pre-Hyrule history, but like... come on, there's gotta be stuff in there still). I was not very taken with the personalized goal of the game being between Link and Zelda... kind of made saving the world feel like an afterthought. It was different, sure, but it's hard to get captivated by something that's a hybrid between old save world from Ganon formula and new love story with Zelda, especially with a silent protagonist.

Despite the sheer amount of footage and discussion that have come out, I feel like that a 43 minute long interview was the wrong way to go. They could have had a 20 minute Direct video like before, covered everything just as well (if not better; no people talking over the footage) and left it at that. In stead we get 43 minutes of talking, talking, talking, more talking, while the game is blocked out or shrunk down. It was hard to keep watching after the ten minute mark, and it was just depleting to complete. I actually lost interest and don't feel like I saw anything worth while. People talking for 45 minutes isn't showcasing the game. It's just 45 minutes of people talking.

Well, while FL isn't the best DAW in terms of what stock sounds are provided, I've been using it for the past 5 years and I've never wanted to switch. I think if you proceed to check out zircon's FL Studio tutorials, you'd learn a lot.
