Hallo hallo, another "long time listener, first time caller" for the list A long time fan of VGM; Vinyl & CD collector, obsessive fan-music listener, occasional VGM remixer with my partner. I was finally able to make it to MAGfest this year (I come from far off Europe, and it only cost.... Ye gods, over a thousand buckaroos!) where I met so many amazing friends, and even more amazing strangers, and had so many amazing conversations with 'my people', where I had a sort of, 'wait, I'm not alone, thousands of people are just like me!' moment. Especially it was great to hang out with the ever wonderful KyleJCrb, who I went to the con with, and spent a lot of the weekend with (and crashed the room of many times) - I was planning to check out the OCR panel regardless, but as he was one of the speakers, I made extra sure to clear my con schedule - and as I sat there at the panel, I wondered suddenly why I was lurking, because I felt like I would very much like to be a present part of all of this. I spent a while after I arrived home observing the site much more closely, asking around interestedly to my friends of their own VGM projects, then I decided to poke my head in for real. So... Er... Hello!

Then I'll get started on my eerie pixel idea and see where it goes. As for poems, Twas actually has nothing to do with AOCC. The Twas series was started by me back in 2002 as something goofy to post for Christmas in the old UnMod forum that year. It became a yearly thing after that, focusing on various UnMod and OCR happenings until around the seventh year, when it became about original stories that had nothing to do with the forums. Each one's been written entirely by me, and as one can imagine, they take some time to flesh out and write nowadays (20-plus pages of stanzas do be like that). Doing a second one each year just isn't something I have the time for, so if someone else wants to write up a poem specifically for the Halloween project, they can do it. I gotta save up my ideas for the rhyming novellas I write once a year 😄

Anyone opposed to the idea of me doing a cover for this? I have an idea. It'll be pixel art like my other stuff, but no game characters or funny/goofy scenes.

Huh. I missed this somehow. Well, assuming people are still allowed to join in, I've been thinking about updating my song "Revenant's Waltz" to see if I can spruce it up over the original I did back in 2016.

Such a fun song! This captures the zaniness when you play EarthBound. The remix plays tricks with your ears which is exactly Mr. Saturn's intentions when you see him and his village. 😄

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.

It got quieter at that moment because I left. No, actually I left because it got way too toxic. At that point I finally discovered that my self worth isn't based on if I can get the unpleasent individuals on OCR to like me so I up and left. No regrets.

Yeah it does! Thanks for the update. Gonna get working at some point this summer

Excellent! Well, feel free to work on it some more if you feel like (you have until the due date, which isn't until late October, to turn it in!) Otherwise, I just need it rendered to the specifics above, and a unique name for your remix. :) Can send it to me via Discord or by private message in the OCR forums > my profile page. :D It can be something that was published previously! :) One of mine I plan on doing is actually a 2-3 year old piece I first made for a NewGrounds Halloween contest, and I think that was back in 2022?? I'm revamping the thing from scratch, adding onto the melody and harmony and putting a new spice / hook to the piece, but it has been published before on NG. So I figure as long as the submitted tracks haven't been mixposted by OCR before, it's cool. :D But you can, however, submit it to the OCR Judges' Panel after subbing it for this album, or anywhere else! ♥ If it's a video game remix, I encourage it. But this album isn't restricted TO JUST VGM remixes. You can remix other sources from other media, and / or make your own original track. Hope that helps. :3

Up to you! If you feel like you can do more to work on them, by all means, either take the time to work on them more, or workshop them either here on the forums or via the OCR Discord server. :) Otherwise, if you feel they're ready to go, just send me: a WAV of your mix, in 44.1kHz, in Stereo, 16 or 24-bit, -6.0 dB, triangle dithered (if necessary). This is a pre-master, WITH NO HEAVY COMPRESSION OR A LIMITER ON THE MASTER BUS, except for any very soft compression and EQ, for warmth and tone and gluing the full track together. If that all sounds like gobbledygook, just sending me the thing at -6dB, unmastered, is cool. :D Can send it to me on here as an attachment or GDrive / Dropbox link through private messaging, or on Discord if you add me. There's some other submission criteria, but the TL;DR is -- as long as your mix doesn't have any weird glitches or artifacts that'll mess up mastering the track, and you give me the source name and game (or movie or whatever) you remixed it from, and give it a unique name (something that isn't the original name of the song), that's fine.

Really something beautiful; I was smiling the whole time listening. I love how the essence of EarthBound is captured, whilst transforming it at the same time into something completely new and fresh.

Hello!!! Although I'm quite unfamiliar with this place, it is nice to meet people who enjoy remixing VGMs and OSTs! Although I usually make original tracks, I also make remixes. I met this place a few days ago, and I forgot introduce myself. I hope all is well!

Hi, I've been listening since 2003-ish, lurking since 2006-ish, and am re-vitalized to start getting involved by my most recent Magfest trip. Hope to do some things, make some happies.

Hello, everyone! I've been making electronic music in Garageband since high school and discovered OCR a couple years after I started. As a lifelong lover of video game music, I thought it would be neat to have something of mine accepted on the site, and I started working on a remix that I intended to submit, but I never ended up finishing it and it wasn't that great anyway. However, I randomly remembered OCR yesterday and (rather impulsively) created an account and submitted a remix I made well over a year ago. I'm looking forward to getting involved here, and this might just be the push I need to start seriously creating music again and maybe finally take the plunge and upgrade from Garageband.

Hey folks, I've been making music for a long time, but in these past 4 years or so, I've been mostly uploading to my youtube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/hitrisonmusic ). Mostly an old-ish punk and noise guy, but I like making ambient/electronic stuff, too. Mostly covering Megami Tensei tracks. Come by and say hello! https://linktr.ee/hitrison

Hi, I'm new to the forums. Funny thing, I've been making music for the last like 30 years, but I just learned now that this forum existed. So I guess I'll be slowly posting some of the back stuff I've done since this is probably a better suited place than other, less dedicated forums I dwelled. I started out with "classical" music training but my main goal was (back in the 90s) movie scores. Anyway, around 2008 I started working in the videogame industry (as a developer actually), and had the opportunity to make some game tracks / remixes / contest submissions. I'm much more a composer than an audio producing guy, be that bad or good.

Greetings everyone, Vandahlia here. New to this site in the capacity of a remixer since I primarily make original tracks, although game music remixes of 80s-90s titles is something that I do enjoy and sporadically make. All my stuff, both remixes and original music, can be found at Bandcamp: https://vandahlia.bandcamp.com Cheers!

Welcome, hope you find a welcoming space that helps you in your craft here! If you haven't already, be sure to check out the OCR discord, as well, since a lot of members are pretty active there, as well. Hope you enjoy the space here :)

This sounds crazy, but the remix seems so natural that it seems like this was the original song all along. I'm serious! Man, this remix just fits so well it's ridiculous. Mad, mad props to all the creators here - this track shone (and shines) like a gem!!
