I would like to start by saying a very big thank you to everyone who worked/is working on the Star Fox 25 Anniversary Album project. It's truly great to see people so passionate about something, especially something that is so close to my heart. I would like to especially thank @The Nikanorufor dedicating so much time to this project and for getting it off the ground. I have full confidence that this album will one of the best things to ever be produced from this site. Also, when this album gets released, if I am mentioned anywhere, make sure it's the last name on the list. The reason I am saying this is the same reason I myself didn't direct the album. Life sometime takes us by surprise and we don't have time for things that we used to. I am am fine health-wise, but I am just having less and less time to stop by, and it looks as though things wont be getting any better in that regard. And I just have to say @djpretzel, thank you so much creating such a wonderful place that brings so many different people together to make such beautiful things. I haven't been here as a member long, but I've been visiting for years, and I really just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done for this site. You may not know me, maybe we'll never meet, you probably don't care, but I hope this Star Fox album brings you at least a small degree of happiness. I hope that because of an idea some nobody had one evening, your day has been improved if only for as long as the music lasts. I was here.

Hey ocremix pals. Just wanted to let you know I'll be playing SNL this week with my new gig, Father John Misty. Check it out. I'll be the guy on piano. http://jammcard.com/jon-titterington-books-father-john-misty-gig-playing-snl-and-coachella/

Well my sub is up. Though I'll probably revisit the mix at least once or twice before the actual competition is over. Though in all honesty this is a really pretty theme and when I heard that main lead line I just could not for the life of me resist putting some kind of supersaw to it. In fact you might say I was in love with the notion.

This theme begs for some Supersaws me thinks.

Hey folks. I've decided to continue on with the compo. I'll be posting Round 3 match-ups tonight, and Round 1 and Round 2 music together tomorrow night for voting. For those wondering about my family emergency, my mom passed away last week while visiting India. While I certainly appreciate any condolences you have to offer, please do not post them in this thread; I'd like to keep the thread on-topic. A "like" on this post would be fine, though. Thanks for understanding! I'm looking forward to everyone's entries moving forward.

The tears... They're real... After a post like that, there is a teeny bit of pressure... But nothing bad, just a drive to continue working towards a quality soundtrack.

For real I'll make something this time...

Hi, forgive me if this information is posted already somewhere but I was wondering if I need to register with the forums hosting ThaSauce comp information to submit or can I submit via OcRemix? I'd like to participate

Almost-1-week-later-response!!! Might be able to pull that one off. See if I can get the due-date aligned with it.

Yeah, this post comes off as a bit of a humblebrag, there. Absolute pitch, while certainly useful, is actually fairly common among more accomplished musicians, as a whole. It's useful to have, but you can still make due musically if you don't have it. On an interesting note, it's also something that people can have 'fall out of tune' over the years, too, so it's not something you want to overly rely on (my absolute pitch, for example, has fallen about a step flat over the years, as reproducing a 'G' often comes out as a 'F#' - a bit of stealth braggin' done right, there!). As far as your post, though, that sounds more like decent relative pitch, not absolute pitch, which is actually a skill you MUST have in order to be a decent musician. Virtually everyone utilizes relative pitch to a certain extent when they compose and arrange, and if someone doesn't use it well it's something that can be taught (perfecting it is something conservatories and universities focus on for the first year or so of education). It's not rare - it's something that's a requirement if you are to be a musician, at all. It's pretty strange to come on to a board for people who've dedicated much of their time to rearranging video game music and boast that you can recreate music just by listening to it (and comparing that skill to Mozart, who wrote his first opera at age 12). I'm half thinking that you're joking, because that's a pretty silly thing to do - it's like bragging to other fish in the ocean that you can swim. Just sayin', is all.

Is it just me or are all of your posts lately just you bragging about this and how you think mastering piano is easy? I don't mean to be a dick, but when you make topics like this, you just come off as really pretentious. To your OP: A) It's not true that no one else can do it. I had a teacher who definitely had absolute pitch. B ) Are you sure you have absolute pitch and not just really strong relative pitch? A lot of people mistakenly think that a good sense of relative pitch is the same thing, but it's not. Just because you learned to play Countdown from Punch Out or Eye of The Tiger (which are not exactly complicated pieces) by ear (and remember them) doesn't mean you have perfect pitch and you are more likely to remember music learned from ear anyway, so the passage of time is not relevant. For example, I can often tell what tuning the guitars are in and how to play a particular guitar riff or chord progression without having an instrument to compare. However, at this point it's not so much because of my sense of pitch as it is my familiarity with electric guitar music and recognizing recurring patterns and timbres. If you can hear a song just once and without singing or playing an instrument for reference you can name me all of the notes and their octaves, what chord and what inversion, in order and be right all the time, every time, then you have perfect pitch. Otherwise, it's just relative pitch.

ANNOUNCEMENT Well, we're into it now ... I have now submitted the application for this project to become an official OCR release. Or, to become OCR-approved, as I like to say. It will likely take some time for processing and review, so don't expect changes tomorrow; however, I will let everyone know ASAP when I hear back from the Projects Team. Once again, great work everyone - we are (hopefully) one step closer to @Thomas Neil's vision. Let's continue making this an album to remember!

That was disgusting This is MnP 69. I believe I sent you the link to the week's theme? Apparently in FB's on this day a friend said I had 69 friends 4 years ago...

sexy 69 - theme of love, picked by Necrox. It's not kinky per se, but it is romantic. The more deprived of us will just have to think of some shitty fan-fiction sex twixt Rosa and her love...or loves oh maiSIXTY NINE!!! ....sorry about the black background...copied this from the ThaSauce page. Oh wells.
