It's that time. Once again, some of the folks who post on OCR have come together to make an album full of Christmas-y remixes for you to enjoy. This year, we've got 10 tracks that touch on a number of genres and moods, along with some pixel cover art by yours truly. You can download the project from the link below, so feel free to grab it... along with the other 13 albums As always, thanks to everyone who participated, tried to participate, and to Dyne for continuing to host it. http://williammichael.info/aocc/aoccv14.html http://williammichael.info/aocc/

I've submitted a track I was working on for a discarded OCR album. It's not totally finished, but it'll do.

Good news for all fans of tradional Far Eastern (virtual) instruments. )) Since I've bought my first VSTi from Native Instruments some weeks ago (a very good electric guitar VSTi called Electric Sunburst Deluxe - will definitely write a little feedback about this one in the topic I've already started some time ago) and I was pretty satisfied with this great stuff, I read their newsletter much more carefully. And just a few weeks after, they pulled another big one out of their deep waters - a Chinese hammered dulcimer VSTi called "Yangqin". And it's completely free - with a size of around 1 GB. After reading that it's free stuff, I just thought that it can't be that great, it won't have lots of articulations and that I probably won't waste my time with free stuff. But... WAYYYY off the mark, dudes! It's another professional and very sophisticatedly sampled high quality VSTi from Native Instruments which offers a really beautiful sound, some useful interface settings (one-click automations of parameters also possible), different presets, a nice velocity range and lots of articulations (many key switches for short and long played notes, different kinds of tremolos, octave, resonance and varied playing techniques, glissando up & down and stuff like that). Here's a little introduction video for this really awesome free VSTi: I always wanted some ancient Far Eastern stuff like this - maybe for movies score compositions... but definitely for a Breath of Fire 4 remix in the future. But before talkin' ya straight into your beds, here's the direct download link for this VSTi: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/celebrate-the-holidays-with-us/ If this is your first VSTi from Native Instruments or your first instrument for Kontakt or Kontakt Player, you have to install Native Access (it's free and it just registers and maintains your Native Instruments & Kontakt/Kontakt Player VSTis) and at least the newest version of the free Kontakt Player before. Here are the links in the correct order of installation: 1) Native Access >>> https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/native-access/ 2) Free Kontakt 6 Player >>> https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-6-player/ 3) Yangqin VSTi >>> https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/celebrate-the-holidays-with-us/ 4) Don't forget to set the correct VST path in your DAW to use Native Intruments/Kontakt VSTis - (for the Windows version) you should find the correct path for using the Kontakt Player under >>> C:\Programm Files\Native Instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit And then, it should work after opening the Kontakt Player in your DAW. Merry Christmas & some recreative 'n' creative holidays. ))

Me and my friend Souperion are collaborating on something for this. Looking forward to this round!

Glad to be a part of it this year!

Got some Yakuza Action goin on today. Hope y'like.

Welp, time to let my 10-year experience express itself at it's fullest. Submission done, It's an original track I made exclusively for this round. No VGM this time, only my style. Hope you'll like it. (Oh and yeah, it's repetitive).

Will definitely enter this round, if life lets me have fun for like a minute.

This is very clean and high audio quality. Well mastered of a mix. The synth harmonies bring a pleasant surprise to me. Great synth work here! Just beautiful. What a groove. I love the synths in this. Very fun on the ears to hear! Nice fade out at the end.
