I grabbed a pirate copy of it so I could look through and see what it is. As I browse it, this is a pretty neat little guide that really keeps it short and to the point with sheet music examples. All it is, though, is just a dictionary of orchestral instruments with good, to the point information on what it does and tips on how to orchestrate it. This thing would not be able to teach you better orchestration, but it DOES give you a lot, lot, lot of info you would need to have to figure out orchestration piece-by-piece. It's like, you're not buying a sandwich here, but you are buying bread, meat, cheese, sauce, etc. For $10, you could do a lot worse with that money than this, just depends on if you need the individual orchestral stuff handy or if you need something to teach you how to really orchestrate.

This depersonalization episode has been lingering and I've not been able to shake it fully. I'm past the parts I need to be concerned about, now I'm just waiting for it to pass entirely. In the meantime I've been slowly trying to gather .WAVs from people and I only have about 8 myself. Rexy might have some others, but we need to get .WAVs in first before we can formulate what to do from there. So send your .WAVs in, folks. I'll keep updating as updates and sanity come in.

I bought that RMX thing they have going on last night for $4. EVERYTHING I've listened to that sounds great and exactly like stuff I can use. Not totally on-topic with the freebies here, but I've been mulling over announcing that deal on here anyway.

Just catching up quick because I know reigniting interest in this album facilitates not going too long between updates here and there. Nothing to update at the moment - I've been busy off my ass, barely getting any sleep, weather and other things getting too far in my way IRL to work on stuff and its culminated now to a small relapse into the clinical depression/depersonalization I've been at since about this time in 2016 which gives me oversensitivity to even the most minimal of emotional subjects as well as a really irrational and involuntary phobia of aging and time moving forward - which is just about the stupidest thing in the world. It'll pass and I'm not too fucked up right now, thankfully, but this little relapse has been a few degrees stronger than some of the others and I'll still need some time working on other things until that passes. So not a great update, I understand, but I also just wanted to chime in something so no one thinks energy or momentum has already stalled or anything. Nope, just the universe deciding to use me as its personal diarrhea outlet once again. It'll be done and over with soon and I can get back on here. Thank you!

New update time. Sorry for the delay on my end everyone, I'm bottlenecked yet again and today has been particularly fucked, but I've got enough to update with all the same. I've gotten some more WAVs from people, I appreciate that and I'll listen to them here soon. I had an ear thing late last week/early this week that made it so audio work was not in my interest, but that has been accomplished and I've downloaded and kept the .WAVs given to me all the same. Finally got to talk to the previous project creator Brandon to see if he would release back to us the .WAVs he had on his end and he was not willing to support the project's revival (to put it mildly), which is what I expected. And as expected, this project will need to see a fairly full "Un"Brand"ing" so we can respect Brandon's wishes and the fair artistic work he put in to start with. This does not mean starting the entire thing from scratch, it just means taking what we can from the previous project attempt, putting a new frame/encapsulation on it, seeing where we need to go to from there. I'm trying to think up some ideas of what to do that with - I've actually spent the last several weeks replaying the game on the DS unrelated to the project here and I am refreshed on the source material, so that helps. So far my best idea is Manifest Obscura, taking after the game's major plot of the big world below being shrouded from knowledge, but I'm not solid on it yet. I'm not doing the "Light and Dark" theme again - that was my last project and it has been done to death. Most likely will need a brand new project thread for it too. So I'll be speaking with Rexy and relevant personnel about that stuff when I can. That's what I got for now. Please keep sending me your .WAVs and let's see where we can go from here!

So far, I've only gotten 1 WAV. Please load them up to a filesharing place of your choice and send them to me via PM please.

Wow, that's some of my best project administration work yet. Just started and already I've got 3 .wav files in. Yes, Rockboi, go ahead and put them somewhere where I can hear it and PM them to me.

Ok, I finally had time and energy to look into the thread here and get my brain started in the process here. I messaged Rexy and I think I'm ready to get'er started.

No reason that should be a problem at all. It's fine by me. I haven't had time to get back to this as I've been buried in work and things I'm behind in, but I plan to do so at my next convenience.

Rexy's awesome, so that's excellent. I'll see about getting to some of the rest of this stuff later in this week as I'm behind on work in other areas, but yes, that's a good start.

Was Technomanga and Don't Fuck Around the same guy? I remember the latter but not the former.

Must've been before my time as I don't recognize either name, nor am I able to find anything by searching. Anyways, I literally speak for every single person who has ever been on Ocremix when I say "Apology accepted and then some! Reclaim your former valor and treasures and then help yourself to more in the vault. Take our wives as your concubines and our children as slaves for the emmer fields. The throneseat is yours and we will immediately begin erecting a monument for your return and reign." And as I promise to everyone every time I promise them something: it will be a MIGHTY erection!

Angry slime is surprisingly foreboding.

I think possibly the language barrier is much of the reason for the confusion here, but 4-04 is the remix of Legend you are looking for. We remixed every single music track from the OST on here, that was a big deal in the production of the project so I'm quite confident none of them are missing.

Like some other limboing projects, I could offer to try to wrangle what's here and there into a release if all I need to do is provide administration to it (my music energy is still all tied up elsewhere). I'm willing, though it requires the higher-ups to approve the idea and give me what's needed to do so and I hadn't gotten any feedback on past volunteer chimes to pick up the baton from them. I'm on a few shit lists myself, so that could account for some of that, but I remain committed to OCR's central goal of accelerating video game music into the mainstream art fold with efforts like these and I have some admin time, energy and interest to do so

Incorrect my good friend Godfrey, that remix is 4-04 "In a Thousand Years". Behold!

Legend is mixed up as Left-Handed Wolf? That's strange. Stranger still that you are having trouble finding it, but whatever. The remix for Left-Handed Wolf is 2-12 "Skull Disect" by Zyko and Luiza. Incidentally, the one for "Legend" and the video I posted is 4-06 "Facing the Storm" by Usa and siebensus4. Does that provide a resolution for the missing track?

It's in there, I just don't immediately remember which remix it is and don't have the opportunity to find the notes or go through it to find it tonight. Remember that there were track name translation errors when brought over here and commonly known track titles are actually mix-ups of the correct ones. The .RSN archive on it should have the right tracks. Please help confirm if this is the tune you're searching for: If you still haven't found it in a little while, I'll try to help isolate the right remix. Trust you me, Vader, we made sure to get every single track on there and even some remixes of the ***damn SOUND EFFECTS when we could, so it's in there somewhere.

And here I was, posting half-joking/half-seriously that Square should include our project in the upcoming Collection of Mana game, when someone should come along and do something just as good without having to involve SE and loads of red tape to do it. Puts a smile to my face. Any chance you could share a link to the MSU-whatever page when you put it up and make it available? I want to be able to see it and share it around.

No one else is getting dibs on this news. I'm doing it! https://kotaku.com/konami-announces-the-turbografx-16-mini-1835430762 I read this and now I need new underwear. And new pants. And a new computer chair. And new carpet and possibly some work done on the foundation of my house because that's how hard I shit myself reading this. ***damn, the Japanese version is even getting Dracula X. Not quite the hard-to-obtain title it used to be, but that alone is going to make import sales go up though I suspect we will have a chance to get it stateside. Hurray and hallelujah!

Hmm, I'm kinda surprised no one responded to this. It actually is a fair question as I've been here for 15 years and I still have to go looking for how to change my signature stuff every time I want to change it, and that process can change as well. 1. Top right of the webpage where you see your chicken picture and "thebitterroost". 2. Click it and go to "account settings" under "settings". 3. Left side of the page in the gray border. "Signature". There you go. Didn't used to be that easy, so I totally respect that you had trouble finding it.

Sonic is definitely derailing the topic here, but it seems rather obvious to me there is an intentional if not fully blatant theme of 90s cringe being injected into the Sonic movie. Gangsta's Paradise? Jim Carrey? A video game movie trying to happen in the real world taking itself somewhat seriously? It's all so incredibly 90s as Sonic itself. Even the dynamics of the trailer reminded me of being in the movie theaters in middle school.

Not quite sure what I was expecting from the Sonic trailer given people's highly exaggerated negative reaction to it (we have wars going on with child soldiers that aren't getting this kind of reaction) but that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. And I can't hate any video game adaptation that managed to get Jim Carrey as the villain.

??? They aren't that expensive. Not chump change, but not like hundreds of dollars either.

That's called an "Everdrive and a 4GB miniSD card". C'mon, Nase, no company on Earth would release such a thing officially. It'd be impossible.
