It's results time. TheVideoGamer did a bonus mix. TheVodouQueen and Wassup Thunder tie with 9 points, second place and the last place wooden spoon. And the winner of PRC425 is Souperion by unanimous decision with 12 points. Souperion you are the winner. You may pick a source for PRC427. Send the source to me (with a MID/MP3 file, otherwise send a second source with a MID file) by PM, other options are PM me @ ThaSauce or by e-mailing to bambombim@gmail.com (I prefer a PM @Ocremix). Send your source as fast as you can, but before next Wednesday (5 May 2021), 11:00 AM ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT). You may select any source from any game, but not a source with an OverClocked remix or a source which has been used in PRC before. An overview of the past PRC's can be found in the following links (I recently updated this site): http://sites.google.com/site/bambombim/prc http://bambombim.googlepages.com/PRCRemixList.doc (also downloadable via the link above). http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC425 for the votes and comments.

Meh, no chance of getting the vote in this time, got held up. :/ But as a good side note, I didn't had to choose for a winner this way. Loved all four tracks, great work everyone! Congratulation @Souperion on taking the win! Well earned! I might try and post a little bit of feedback tomorrow in this thread, if you want.

Dude, one of the best. ?

Getting Started What we call "ReMixing" is just another kind of music making. Don't be intimidated! If you're already a musician, then you already have the skills to ReMix. Learning an instrument, practicing with a computer music program (also known as a "digital audio workstation"), studying up on some music theory, or watching YouTube guitar tutorials will all help you make better ReMixes. If you have no musical background, we highly recommend picking up an instrument like piano or guitar. While in-person lessons are ideal, you can check further in this post for some online resources. You can make music on most any PC or Mac. We have a list of some recommended programs below. While getting a ReMix on OCR is a great goal, creating music should be fun. You should enjoy the process, no matter what the result! Music Making Programs A digital audio workstation is a program used to create, record, edit and sequence audio. In this day and age, most DAWs are quite fully-featured, so if someone tells you that one is "better" than another, that's mostly nonsense. Pick whichever DAW has the best workflow for you. Ableton Live (PC/Mac) $99-749 This is the current leader in the industry, it's relatively easy to use, great for performance/live recording and integrates well/performantly with VSTs. Logic Pro (Mac) $199 FL Studio (PC) $99-499 One of the most popular DAWs on OCR. Though a little unwieldy for audio recording and editing, FL's non-standard workflow can be very fast, particularly for sequencing (writing MIDI notes). Thanks to its large userbase here, there are plenty of folks to answer your questions. REAPER (PC/Mac) [free-ish] $60-225 Fantastic for audio recording and editing, REAPER is a great choice if you plan on recording live instruments. Though its MIDI capability is a little weak and it has no built-in instruments, it's an excellent, fully-featured program with a very customizable workflow and unlimited free demo. REAPER also has a growing fanbase on OCR. Cubase (PC/Mac) $99-579 Like Sonar, this is another venerable DAW with plenty of great features and instruments. Whether you prefer this versus Sonar or REAPER depends on your personal preference. Reason (PC/Mac) $499 ($12.99/month) Another popular DAW. Reason boasts perhaps the best variety of built-in sounds, effects and instruments of any DAW. Like FL, it has a unique workflow and large userbase. Sonar (PC) $99+ ?? - need updates on this One of the first sequencers ever created. Sonar comes in many flavors but has a powerful traditional workflow and a strong suite of built-in instruments. There are many other DAWs out there that aren't listed here. Experiment! Finding New Sounds As you begin making music, you will no doubt want a nice palette of sounds to choose from. On a PC, you will typically look for "VST plugins" which are added to your DAW and add new functionality to create and alter sound. On a MAC, you want "AU plugins". The single best resource for both free AND commercial plugins is KVR Audio. It has an amazing database and search engine allowing you to find all sorts of instruments, effects and samples, sorted by platform, commercial vs. free, etc. However, before downloading more instruments and sounds, you should try to acquaint yourself with the tools available in your DAW. It's easy to download lots of plugins and become overwhelmed; we recommend picking a handful at a time and learning them really well before moving on. Music Education Resources As mentioned earlier, taking music lessons is the best way to improve yourself as a musician (that, and PRACTICE!) There is no substitute for a good teacher or class. If you're in high school, you may have access to basic music theory or technology classes, while most colleges have something similar. Private music teachers often start at around $30/hour, but just one lesson a week will provide substantial benefits over time. That being said, if you simply don't have access to music classes or lessons, there are a few resources you can check out online: MusicTheory.net - Almost any musician from beginner to expert can benefit from studying theory, which helps in both writing and arranging music. Berklee Online - A fantastic resource with free classes from the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Everything from piano and guitar to production, songwriting and arranging. You can't go wrong here. Hardware & Computers The world of music hardware is incredibly vast, but the truth is that you need almost nothing to get started. Your key pieces of hardware are as follows: * A decent computer. Desktops are generally more powerful than laptops, but either will get the job done. Ideally you want something built in the last 6 years. If you're buying a new machine, look for a fast processor and 4+gb of RAM. A solid state drive is also good to have. * A solid pair of headphones.... Good headphone brands include AKG, Sony, Beyerdynamic, Grado, and Audio Technica. More $ doesn't necessarily mean better, and stay away from consumer-oriented headphones like Beats, or bass-enhancing Sennheisers. Something like the ATH-M40 headphones may not be blinged out but they are excellent for listening critically and cost only $50. * ... or speakers / monitors? This may be controversial to some, but I don't recommend doing the bulk of your music-making on speakers or studio monitors unless you can afford to spend at least $150-200 on an entry-level professional-grade set AND you can do some basic acoustic treatment to your room. It's fine to double-check a mix on speakers, but without proper speakers or treatment, it's hard to get a good sense of balance. If you're starting from scratch, start with headphones. * An audio interface. (more to come!)

Sup guys. Here's a new remix (or cover?) of 1st Stage Theme from "Journey to Silius" by me and Mirasol. This time - with original lyrics and original video! I hope you like it! Thanks and have a nice day!

Comments: Nothing to add here, great turnout this month!

Great round, congrats, Souperion! Looking forward to seeing what you pick for us next time!

Awesome remix with a really catchy tune and a pretty good message. )) Was the submission successful? OC Remix could definitely need some more of this kind of tracks.

So I just did my 2021 update, haha. New additions: Mega Man X 'Rolling' by Maverick Astley Donkey Kong Country 2 'All Aboard the Glitter Express' by Light Pillar Ocarina of Time 'To See Like Me' by Bowlerhat feat. Felix Brassel, Pierre Vyncke, Gregory Ksiondzyk, Dirk Bosman, David Jans, Chae Yeon Lee, Hee Hyun Lee, Louise van den Heuvel, Arno Grootaers & Rebecca Driesmans Sonic the Hedgehog 'Speeding Towards Adventure' by Azzykay316, Final Kingdom, Furilas, Jorito & Tuberz McGee Mega Man X5 'Never Gonna Give (Up the Funk)' by Jorito feat Tuberz McGee, Anton Corazza & Eino Keskitalo Final Fantasy VI 'Dream 'Til Tomorrow' by Earth Kid Street Fighter II 'Family Man' by Overclocked University & Moonlapse Golden Sun: The Lost Age 'What I Want to Say' by Vylent and TSori feat. Spy Girls Fixed mistakes: Added Metal Gear Solid 2 'Big Shell West Bristol' by BenCousins. I accidentally left it out when I first put the yt playlist together. Moved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV 'Pizza in the Van' by Chidi Enyia, MMvsUSAF, Roqsteady and Samara Smith to the end of the playlist, where it was supposed to be. Many thanks again to all the Remixers who have contributed to the site! Hm, I took a look and it says they were removed by request. There are a whole lot of ReMixes from this author that were removed by request. Huh. Well, I suppose that's all anyone needs to know.

For the two tracks that were removed in Disc 2, it looks like they were deleted. There's a page on OC ReMix that shows which remixes were deleted and why, and both of them are on it.

Hey, just wanted to lend a word of encouragement. I am always a bit disappointed when a Kickstarter does not meet its goal, so sorry to hear about that. Listened to several of your tracks and they are really very well produced. Quality stuff. Maybe you would also be encouraged by some tunes from a friend of mine: https://benkoch.bandcamp.com/ "a cure for the song shaped hole in your heart" was created for use with the Navigator's Topical Memory System "it's a song thing!" roughly corresponds to the Self-Confrontation course from the Biblical Counseling Foundation These are very different from your project! The subject matter is similar, of course, but there is very little in the way of production; some are little more than the ukulele and a mic. But thought you would enjoy them anyway. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword" Hebrews 4.12! I wish you the best with your work here. Will try to follow as this project goes on!

I grew up on the Revenge of Shinobi, so i didn't really experience Shinobi III.... But i will say it does have a great soundtrack!

Not to self promote or anything... Too hard... But I recently compiled and released a few EP I did that were inspired by the game Aquaria. You can check it out here http://ryandavismusic.net With my posted remix from the game here: https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03281
