There's a new Global Mission out. https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/48e2bb06-eb05-4a77-9044-6ebf157fff59 If we get 1 million island scans by the 9th, we all get 2017 Festival Coins (if you Game Synced to pokemon-gl.com with an account, you get double, 4034). If we don't, we all get 217 (434 with pgl account). Either way, that's a lot more than you can get from random FC farming. EDIT: For those wondering how to do this, simple instructions: Press X to get to the menu. Find "QR Scanner" (might be on the second page of the menu) The external camera will activate. Scan any QR codes, or use these ones for an easy 20 points at a time instead of taking ten 10-point scans. Once you get 100 points, press X to start Island Scan, and the game will "scan" the island and a random pokémon you normally can't find will appear. The top screen will tell you where it can be found. Go catch that pokémon, whatever and wherever it is. Repeat scanning and catching (you can only do two a day, though, either ten 10-point scans, or 5 20-points scans twice a day) Repeat each day until the 9th.

Props for being inspired by Plasma3Music's take on the theme, but making yours different enough that it didn't seem like a mere copy of his approach. Those strings were pretty dry, leaving the fake-sounding articulations pretty exposed in the 25-second intro, then again from 1:40-2:06, which hurt the close. The crux of the arrangement was original brass writing on top of the main backing pattern of the source tune (:34-1:21), which was a valid approach with the source tune ever-present. The placement of the piano cameo at 1:26 was odd and sounded muddy. Dunno why the last note of the music box at 2:05 was sour/flat, but that was a bad look, so watch those smaller details. The ~7 seconds of pregnant silence should have been trimmed off, just noting. Gario had good feedback on humanizing your brass, so definitely take his advice into account and tweak the presentation. IMO, the orchestration sounded somewhat stiff, but was generally serviceable relative to our bar, but you'll need to smooth out stiff-sounding parts like the strings as well. With those touches, the production will sound as strong as the arrangement. Good stuff so far, and IMO this wasn't far off the mark at all. With some improvements to the detail work of the production, this already-creative arrangement would sound more realistically executed. Definitely touch this up and send it back, Konstantin, I'd love to hear this posted in some form, and you've got a great base here. NO (resubmit)

Going back to my original roots and trying my hand at house music again. This time i thought should give some love to one of the must overlooked Sonic games of all time, Sonic CD! So who is the real hedgehog here?

https://groupees.com/dmvvgm Get 39 tracks from 6 different bands local to our nations capitol! Overclocked University, Rare Candy, Steel Samurai, Master Sword, WASD, and Gunblade X! Available starting at just $1, with a portion of proceeds going to VH1's Save the Music Foundation. This bundle runs from today until January 10th! I'm also pretty sure every member of this bundle will be going to MAGFest!

The MAGFest schedule has gone live in the Guidebook app for iOS. The app is obviously on Android too, but some of my old buddies in the Metroid Metal community mentioned last night that something is buggy about the schedule on that side, as an advance warning. I imagine it will be fixed pretty soon. OP post has been updated with the OCR panel names and times. If anything else happens event-wise (like, say, a last minute OCU Spring Break dance party in someone's room or something), I'll continue to edit the post as necessary. Nine days to go! GET HYPE

So there needs to be another jazz album like this :).

I visit OCRemix every once in a while, and today it occurred to me that it would be pretty sweet - for me personally - to have a little play-button next to each entry in the small list on the right hand side of the frontpage. It could even continue playing down the list as the songs finish. Maybe this would discourage people from discovering the written text about each song? I don't know. Just throwing this out there. I'll let you guys decide whether or not it's a good idea.

I need to modify our YouTube playlist viewer so that it can start off minimized, with just the transport controls showing, and then expand when a track is played. That, along with some minor GUI tweaks, could make this suggestion work, and I think it could be cool, too!

Sounds cool. But why the (152?) when it would be the 151 in question, considering that Chikorita is 152 in the Pokedex lol

I feel that this album is going to be so good that I can almost taste it

It's been quite a long time, eh? Anyway, while the album is still being evaluated, I'm gonna make a couple of sweet updates here: first of all, I've finally decided to add the tracklist with all the tracks divided into 3 discs (including a bonus one), and I think that's a nice thing to look at But most importantly, I'm proud to present a preview track from our album: "Never Fear the Fall" by Pl511! It was released over a year ago, and I wasn't even aware about it, lol. I didn't want anything to be released without my permission, but it's not such a huge problem, after all So anyway, enjoy the track (if you haven't done it yet, haha) and stay tuned for more updates!

Hey guys, it's been a while, but I've been busy. I've put together a 35 minute EP of Sonic The Hedgehog remixes from the 8 and 16 bit eras of Sonic called Zoned. The musical style is a blend of Electro-Funk and Retrowave with sprinklings of Chiptune. Included tracks from both 8 and 16 bit versions of Sonic The Hedgehog 1 and 2, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Sonic Chaos. Also interweaved into this album are soundbites from the games themselves, excerpts from 90s SEGA TV commercials, and dialogue from various video game documentaries that discuss both the significance of SEGA and Sonic The Hedgehog in the history and develop of video games and video game music. Tracks remixed are: Turquoise Hill Zone (Sonic 2 - 8 bit) Sky High Zone (Sonic Chaos) Star Light Zone (Sonic 1) Hydrocity Zone (Sonic 3) Bridge Zone (Sonic 1 - 8 Bit) Spring Yard Zone (Sonic 1) Underground Zone (Sonic 2 - 8 bit) Casino Night Zone - 2 Player (Sonic 2) Chemical Plant Zone (Sonic 2) It was released in conjunction with RadioSEGA and premiered on Sunday night as part of their Winterfest. If you didn't listen to the show and/or haven't yet grabbed a download, please help yourself. https://opussciencecollective.bandcamp.com/album/zoned Have a lovely Christmas and keep gaming, fellow remixers .

Jey Set Radio Fans! So I did a vocal mix/freestyle to "Let Mom Sleep" from the game! One of my favorite songs from it! Hope you guys like this!

Don't know if this counts as an actual game remix, but you never know if the background to the newest Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Trailer is going to be part of the OST... anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this piano cover I made of it

I can definitely guarantee that it won't be terrible. Probably.

Very nice! Sehr gut! Très bien! Etc. etc. I especially liked the subtleties in the backing harmonies, super clever work there. Sound design, arrangement, production, source usage... It's all easily over the bar. YES

Great mix, solid arrangement. I enjoyed the Sonic SFX sprinkled throughout, even if I don't quite know why they're there. Source is there, and it has more than enough variation to make it one's own. A pretty easy pass, for me. YES

Super fun and trippy, I've got no problems here. I can definitely see why you and Shariq like this source! Nice work. YES

Quick vote. Good source. Checked out. Mixing was smoove. Let's go. YES
