Announcing, "Full Circle" A VGM Tribute to the Moon Missions and Spaceflight The moon landings of the Apollo Program in the 1960s and 70s thrust space flight into the public imagination in a way never before seen, inspiring tv shows, movies, games, toys, books, AND a nascent video game industry. The silicon chips invented for the program would go on to power the first home computers, and the apollo command module's fly-by-wire 'picklestick' control, would evolve into the near-ubiquitous arcade joystick just a few years later. Early game developers were inspired by the imagery and challenges of the space program, introducing games like "Lunar Lander" and "Asteroids". Over 50 years later, that inspiration continues, from Ducktales to Destiny, and Mass effect to Mario. So, as NASA prepares to return astronauts to lunar orbit with Artemis II in early 2026, I wanted to take this time to launch a VGM tribute to the moon missions, manned spaceflight and their continuing impact on video games. The Album This will be a small, quick turn album, which we will try to get released on OCR to coincide with the launch of Artemis II **The Theme/Tracks** No specific tracks are planned. ReMixers are free to choose any source they want provided it fits any one of the following three categories: 1. The source is from a moon level/area i.e. Ducktales-The Moon 2. The source is specific to space travel 3. The source references the moon i.e. Golden Sun TLA -Full Moon in Garoh or Majora's Mask-Final Hours Let's try to steer clear of any vgm that's specifically "alien" or alien planet areas. If you have an idea you think fits the album but maybe not the categories above, run it by me and I'll do my best to be accommodating! Claiming Tracks Claims are first come, first serve. Each claim needs to be unique (no duplicate tracks). We're aiming for a single disk album -say 12-15 tracks to keep the schedule manageable. If we have more interested participants than that we'll see what can be done Please DM me with claims, post them below, or joins us on discord ! Collaborations are highly encouraged! Schedule/Deadlines Artemis II is currently scheduled to launch sometime between February and April of 2026. That means if we want to be sure we make that date we probably need everything finished in early January..... On the downside...that's a very quick turn On the upside....so was Apollo! Current Claims Mastering - Zack Parrish 1. Halo Reach - "Broken Bonds" - Gravity Gauntlet 2. Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door - "X-naut Fortress" - Lucas Guimaraes 3.

If you are interested in making a claim, or helping out in any of the capacities above feel free to post or DM me! *note, due to the short timeline, it is preferred that remixers have a demonstrated history of meeting deadlines and that mastering be taken by someone who has done it for a previous OCR project. with that said, We are GO for Launch! (all puns intended)

Today's the day. I sent mine in. Did everyone else send in theirs?

JESUS FUC-! You can't just pop in here like that! You'll scare the children!

Maynard Keenan is that you?? Hehe I love the style and vocals reminiscent of certain musical groups I've listened to. Very interesting spin, and with the kind of angst Cloud goes through in FF7, this blends right in and I dig it. I can't speak to the RE part since I've never played one, but fantastic collab!

Sauvemente!? . . .Ay, mi los dios, suavemente. ♡ I'm sure I can come up with *something* for it. :P If you need help with anything else, just say.

Thanks Zack! Glad to have you on board!

Yeah, things got quieter for djp on the site because…*checks notes*…some guy who posted on PPR a lot decided to leave. Sure. The ego you have to have to come back to OCR, comment on a year-and-a-half old goodbye thread from our site’s founder, and somehow make it about yourself and your dumb grievances is astounding.

Hi everyone! We're nearly there, folks! Today I'll be sending everyone the version of their track that's to be on the album, after any mastering/clean-up/balancing I've done to them! This is to ensure artists are 100% happy with the final product, before I send a zipped file of the tracks to my website team to get them up and on there in time for the 31st of Oct! Be on the lookout for my DMs/PMs either through Discord or on the forums soon! ♥ Can't wait to show people how cool they all sound! \o/

I'm going to throw out the other option that I went with: Windows 10 LTSC IoT. You have to deal with purchasing a grey market key, as this is not technically meant for home users. Then you have to find a full ISO as the trial ISO from MS can't be upgraded to the full version without a lot of headache. Finding it is not hard but that may or may not be a deal breaker for you. But it's Win10 (with some of the unnecessary fluff stripped out) that will keep receiving updates until 2032. (!!) I recently migrated from 10 Pro to 10 LTSC IoT and all of my music software works fine. The only downside is since it's a version of Windows 10 that's basically be frozen in time in the past, other than security updates, new software could theoretically not work on it. But all of my stuff (including Kontakt 8) installed no problem, and I have a ton of VSTs.

Oh shit I'll have to check these out

I really appreciate the look and your perspective on all the Dissidia music. I didn't ever get a chance to play Dissidia, so I definitely didn't hear a lot of those gems and remixes. Also hadn't thought about that movie the rock in years. Gotta rewatch it. It's cool to know that one of the most iconic FF8 sons (imo) was very much inspired by it.

Might have to change my original plans to an original song. Can't really find the motivation to transcribe notes at the moment. Will update if other things happen.

Man, this ska twist on Dr. Wily’s Castle is such a mood totally flips the track into something bright and fun while still keeping that Mega Man intensity. I’d be down to hear more ska-style remixes on OCR for sure!

Hiii I'm back after having a temporary break due to mental health... I should get started with it ngl... I'm actually trying to do this all by ear and I have a feeling it's not A4=440hz lol

Also, the website is being worked on! HOORAY! \o/ Thank you again @colorado weeks, @tibonev & @gravitygauntlet for your hard work on it! :D Also, the roster of people participating has grown! I will be updating the front-post very soon to reflect that and those who've turned theirs in already! 🧡🦇

I'm working on a collaboration, and I'm usually confident with my composing skills. But I need a second opinion to see if this sounds correct to anyone else. I'm using other VSTs instead of one for a piano, but for this, I'm using a piano VST for better hearing with the treble and bass. This piece of music is in E♭ minor, 5/4 time, 110 BPM. Here's what I'm asking about: The beginning has arpeggios, and to me, when it reaches the 11 second mark, the E♭ note that starts there sounds correct, because I think the off-kilter bassline helps. But I'm wondering if it sounds correct to anyone else. At the 29 to 31 second mark, I added notes to ascend back up to the E♭ note, because without them, it didn't sound right to me. But maybe they could work without those notes? And I understand that at the 28 second mark, the Emaj13 chord is probably an odd choice for. That's really there to leave the music unresolved. But this is something I also am wondering about. Does the Emaj13 leading into the B6/E♭ at 32 second mark sound right to you? I'm trying to figure this out. Again, the track is meant to hold tension, which is why the chords at the end of each melody aren't being resolved.

DJ Pretzel you are an amazing dude. I found OCRemix in the glorious heyday of my middle/highschool years, and I had endless fun hanging out with friends and "mining" cool new tracks that we would download and make mp3 cds from. The good old days when most of the music was techno, Hah! I am just rambling because I have been a casual explorer with no musical background for about 24 years here on the site, and wow, the love and passion of this project just oozes good vibes. One of my favorite things was DJ Pretzel's critiques. I did not have an ear for music at all, but the more I listened to his reviews/critiques/judgements and explanations of the music, I felt my own understanding and listening habits change. I began to notice little details and appreciate what the remixer was going for. As a non musician it's hard to put into words how much appreciation I have rooted in this little corner of the digital universe, even as a non contributor I have a warm feeling for this community and wish for continued success and music. Now time to go browse some old remixes from you OG admins back in the day. P.S. I am beginning my journey under a mentor to repair and play piano, so maybe one day, I will contribute to this community, or maybe my daughter when she's old enough to learn, will also be inspired by the music OCRemix has spread.

Agreed with the others on more sophisticated production being a nice-to-have while also appreciating the interpretive arrangement and creative layering/texturing. The faux geetar sample at 1:23 deserved more humanization and heft, but we'll live. Referencing just supporting writing from the source from :15-:28 & 1:09-1:37 was a subtle but cool touch. Solid piece of business, Seth! YES

This is very cool, I personally don't like the genre very much but I enjoyed this one. It's short but gets the job done. Feels better produced then the Million Dollar track you referenced as inspiration as well. I do agree with prophetik on the leads being simple, but it's not a dealbreaker for me as they get changed between sections and don't overstay their welcome. In the future, I'd recommend using some modulation (of any kind) on them to help them move and add interest to them. The source is clear to me and there's plenty of great personalization not only in genre adaption but in soloing. 1:24 synth guitar was an example of new part writing that fit in with the track. Excellent transitions at 0:54 and 1:50. Nice work Seth! Fade out on such a short track isn't great, but feels appropriate for the genre for some reason. YES

Really cool take on one of my favourite SMRPG songs! I'm always a sucker for songs built from one weird time signature. :D Referring the the review that talks about the original's sparse melodic ideas to choose from, interestingly the remake version has a bit more to work with (mostly an extra supplemental piano part), but this probably would have turned out a bit differently if that version was used as a base instead. I don't really listen to electronic styles of music very much, but I really appreciate the production choices on this! Especially the haunting voice somewhere in the middle.

By the way, I forgot to mention what really good soundtracks the Dissidia Final Fantasy series had to offer. As this is one of the core topics on OC Remix, I just wanted to share a few outstanding Dissidia soundtracks that I remember particularly well (I tried to get some high quality versions of the soundtracks that might not have always the English title in the video link - but I will provide a proper translation of the song titles in my text): 1) Prelude (or rather "Prelude - menu -", a remix of the famous opening theme that shows up in kinda every Final Fantasy game in many different versions) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In my opinion, it's one of the best Final Fantasy Prelude themes ever composed. But there are many further arrangements of themes in the Dissidia games that might sound very familar to you. 2) Sprouting (or rather "Sprouting - arrange -", a really nice arrangement of a well-known track from Final Fantasy 10) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beautiful soundtracks like these can be heard in the first two Dissidia games (this one is from the very first Dissidia Final Fantasy game), for example, when you play the story mode for a certain character in the dungeons or on the overworld. You'll even have to play the stories for the individual heroes from the various Final Fantasy parts several times, because there's a lot to discover, unlock and buy (from what I remember, apart from new characters or antagonists from the Final Fantasy series, new outfits and original soundtracks, there are also things like new weapons and equipment, rare items, espers that can support you in battle, etc.), depending on how well you play the dungeons in the story mode. The bonus stuff you get at the end of a dungeon depends on how well, tactically clever and in how many moves or with how many points you complete the dungeons. But you also want to explore the dungeon on the first try to get all the visible and also pretty valueable treasures in there. However, anyone who thinks that the game is already over after completing the prologue and the character-related story parts is very much mistaken. That's when the interesting part of Dissidia's story really starts, which unfolds in further, non-character-related story complexes, where you also have a free choice of character, if I remember correctly. 3) Battle 1 (or "Battle 1 - arrange -", an arrangement of the Final Fantasy 9 standard battle theme) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the Dissidia games (at least the first two parts) are story-based beat 'em ups, you will of course listen to a lot of pretty cool battle and boss battle theme arrangements during the fights. 4) The Decisive Battle (or "The Decisive Battle - arrange -", an arrangement of the boss battle theme from Final Fantasy 6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the arrangement of a famous and pretty driving boss battle theme you know from Final Fantasy 6. ... But there are also possibilities to unlock some original themes from the Final Fantasy series as well and listen to them in some sort of a jukebox or during battles, for example: 5) Omen (or "Omen - original -", the legendary opening theme from Final Fantasy 6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even as an original theme from the past days, this composition still has its charme. 6) The Landing (or "The Landing - original -", a theme from Final Fantasy 8 that plays the first time during the attack on Dollet) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is one of my favourite themes from Final Fantasy 8. For those who don't know, there was an early version of this theme called "Raid on Dollet" for an official demo (I think it still was in the PC version of the game I bought as a present for a friend back then), but it was obviously removed due to some similarities to a soundtrack from the movie "The Rock" - I assume they mean the soundtrack called "Hummel Gets the Rockets" (the part after minute 0:51, for example): ... But in Dissidia Final Fantasy, you also have a lot of really dynamic and soulful arrangements, for example the following two tracks: 7) A Moment of Rest ------------------------------------ On the first sight, this kinda sad piano composition seems to be a new soundtrack exclusively composed for Dissidia Final Fantasy. But it's an arrangement of the Game Over theme from the very first Final Fantasy. 8) Find Your Way (or "Find Your Way - arrange -", an arrangement of a Final Fantasy 8 theme) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I really love the mystical vibe in this arrangement of a well-known Final Fantasy 8 soundtrack. This one is from Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy (spoken "Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy"). ... There also some really good soundtracks that were exclusively composed for the Dissidia Final Fantasy series, for example: 9) Cosmos ------------------- This is the theme of Cosmos, the goddess of harmony, who opposes Chaos, the god of discord. She is supported by the Warrior of the Light and the other heroes from the different Final Fantasy series, while Chaos rather brings the villains and antagonists of the Final Fantasy series into the battle. 10) The Messenger --------------------------------- I can't really remember at which point this soundtrack plays in the game. But since it has a similar compositional structure (just in the form of a heavy rock version) and a similar spiritual message like the Cosmos theme, I think this could be a soundtrack related to Chaos. 11) Massive Explosion (Arcade Version - or "Massive Explosion - arcade -", a soundtrack from the arcade game version of the new Dissidia Final Fantasy from 2015, which was later ported to PS4 and got the game title "Dissidia Final Fantasy NT" that also included this version of the song) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The name of the track might sound like a movie title from the kinky hardcore porn movie corner. But in fact, it's one of the heavier Dissidia Final Fantasy NT hard rock tunes I really love. 12) Massive Explosion (Arranged Version - or "Massive Explosion - arrange -") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to a few other interesting versions (also some really good instrumental arrangements) of this track, this one was exclusively composed for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT. For the vocal part in this version of the soundtrack, the game developers have apparently even hired a real opera singer, namely the Jamaican-Indian lyric soprano singer Nadine Benjamin. There's also a really epic strings version with vocals of this theme in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT: ... To summarize, you could say that the Dissidia Final Fantasy games are worth it just for the excellent soundtracks alone. But the story, the really good fusion of beat 'em up and convincing RPG elements as well as the extremely large amount of content, bonus content and unlockables (especially in the first two Dissidia games) make this game series an extremely worthy and extraordinary Final Fantasy spin-off. So I would be really happy if a next-gen title of this series in the style of the first two Dissidia games were to be released for Playstation 5 sometime in the near future.

The People's Remix Competition 352 PRCv14-14 Hello everyone and Welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Welcome to round 352 of PRC.

Fun* fact: The whole time I was working on mixing my submission I had a terrible head cold that clogged up my ears and made everything sound muffled. Listening to my submission again now, the mix sounds pretty bad I put a lot of work into my track, though, probably more than I have for any other track I've made so far, and I wonder if it might be up to OCR's standards. I cleaned up the mix and made a couple of minor tweaks to the song itself, and I'm looking for comments in the Post Your Remixes forum, if anyone is interested: Another fun fact: This is my first piece of work to contain homemade samples! *Not actually fun for me

@Estrang your requested remixes are available! Nice to see some good representation on this one. Due to the late submissions I guess we vote by messaging Bundeslang.

Sorry 'im quite late, didn't have much time to work on this piece and I wish I had more, but i joined late so... Anyway here's my version: https://www.mediafire.com/?xclib3rwxydpstm

My submission is in!

Really cool source. I'll do my best to get something together for this.

Player Phase 1 is hands down my fav track from my game, followed by the main theme. I actually plan on doing remixes of both songs here before the end of the year
