Actually, that's a very good question. I will spend some time this week coming up with examples, or even a list of suggestions, and put them in the original post. But you could do aremix of "Sepette fro the Dead Princess" from Touhou 6. Keep working on it, you have until December, and I think that's plenty of time to work on it.

I can't say it's Christmas in July, but it is Christmas in March!! I apologize for the hold up, but I wanted to kick this thread into gear as early as I could this year, because this is the tenth anniversary of An OverClocked Christmas we're talking about. That's right, Volume 10!! Who's directing this ship this year? Well, in the last two years (volumes 8 and 9), The Coop has stepped up and stepped into the role of director, while I, for personal reasons that I won't get into here, stepped back to take a breather. Two years is a long time, but this year is special, and I couldn't stand staying away for it. So this year, I'm happy to announce that... Both The Coop, and myself (Dyne), will be directing this project. So, what's this year's theme going to be, or, what music should we be making for this project? As always, Christmasy, snowy, seasonal music is the goal, but this year, I'm asking everyone to stick to Video Game Music specifically. That means that we're not taking original music, or remixes/rearrangements of classic Christmas tunes. I will explain why this is the running theme for the year. In previous years, we've had a mix of all manner of music, from VGM, to classic Christmas music, to originals. For this year, I wanted to focus primarily on VGM has a whole, especially because of this community here at OCR. I love this community, and though I've been lurking for a long time now, I still think of this community as an extended family. So, with that in mind, let's brighten the year with amazing music!! The other reason for this focus is actually a project that has yet to be started. One that I won't be talking about, but one that is something I want to accomplish for Christmas 2017. So keep an eye out for that. What format should our tracks be in? Typically, we've accepted them as MP3s and WAVs before. We're going to do this again. The following is the format that I would like followed: 44.1 Khz, 192kbps .MP3 Who do we submit our music to? Well, to be honest, either one of us. But more specifically, I'd like to have them sent to me through my gmail account. That said, I have some guidelines for how you can send me those emails, and what I need to see so I can locate them in my email. First, my Gmail address is, as always, Dyne2057@gmail.com. Secondly, in the SUBJECT line, I'd like the following in all caps: RE: AOCC VOLUME 10 SUBMISSION Thirdly, in the body of the email message, I'd like the following: YOUR REMIXER HANDLE (what you use on OCR is fine), THE OFFICIAL TITLE OF YOUR TRACK, THE SOURCE OF THE TRACK (what game is it from? who is the composer?), ANY COMMENTS YOU WISH TO MAKE ABOUT YOUR TRACK (or tracks if you are making multiple submissions). Should we send multiple tracks in one email? The short answer is NO. The long answer is, I would like tracks in separate emails. I know this is tedious, but it will help me keep track of what information belongs to each of your tracks. What should we do if we can't send you tracks via email? If you can't send them via email, I will accept links to DropBox, web space (if that's where you can put it), or whatever method you'd like to use to get them to me. I would still like the requisite information from the email along with the link. If you are doing multiple tracks, then you can send multiple links this way. I know, this is a bit backwards from what I said about sending email to me in one of the sections above, but please hear me out. If you're sending links, you can more easily divide up your track, so what it should look like is like the following: --- <DOWNLOAD LINK FOR YOUR TRACK> --- REMIXER HANDLE --- OFFICIAL TITLE OF YOUR TRACK --- SOURCE OF YOUR TRACK --- COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR TRACK And then just repeat for as many submissions as you have. The download link will act as a divider. And remember that your SUBJECT should also be the same as above. WIP Deadlines, Final Deadline? I'd like to have at least two WIP Deadlines this time around. The deadlines will be as follows: First WIP Deadline: June 1, 2016 Second WIP Deadline: September 1, 2016 FINAL DEADLINE: December 11, 2016 at 11:59pm I would like to have everything submitted by December 11, 2016, which gives almost 2 weeks for everything to be finalized, and readied for release. This year, because of the length of time we have, I'm going to be a bit more strict on late tracks. That said, the very latest I intend to take submissions will be by: Wednesday, December 14, 2016 at 11:59pm. Questions, Comments, Suggestions? If you have any of these, feel free to drop me a line, or throw those things here in the thread. Either The Coop or myself will answer you as soon as we can. Thank you, and as always, I look forward to hearing your tracks. Track Suggestions In a response to a question about suggestions, I said I would think about some ideas and present them here in the OP. So, here are some ideas. Also, please note, your remixes don't necessarily need to be specifically snow-based level music, or what not, it can be any track you want. Super Mario Bros. Castlevania Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Earthbound Mega Man and Mega Man X (don't forget the Game Boy series!) Megaman Zero 1-4 Chrono Trigger Chrono Cross Final Fantasy series Destiny Tom Clancy series Rainbow Six series Act Raiser Final Fight Street Fighter series King of Fighters series Snatcher Sonic the Hedgehog Undertale (especially this) Super Mario RPG Tales of ... series Assassin's Creed series Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid series Thanks for the reminder Yannic Gerts! Here's a link to all the previous albums! http://williammichael.info/aocc/index.htm

I'm glad you posted this. I was going to last night, but I just didn't. Thanks Coop.

There is a plan in my head for v.10. Details after the start of the new year.

An OverClocked Chrismtas v.9 -- RELEASED!! To grab the latest album, FOR FREE, go here: http://williammichael.info/aocc/ I just wanted to take a moment and thank The Coop for once again helming this album project. It takes a tremendous amount of effort by him, as well as our musicians to put this album together, and I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! I wish everyone a safe, healthy, and happy, Merry Christmas.

In reference to my previous post, here's the NEW link to my server where the AOCC files and site are now located. http://williammichael.info/aocc/

I'm working on everything right now. It should be up within a few hours, and there will be a post once it's released. No worries, it's going live today.

The Coop is awesome for doing this. Please make sure to thank him a lot, and do your best!

Who remembers this? https://youtu.be/wv6hz6NCL5M http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2015/07/20/where-are-they-now-techno-viking/

Congratulations!!

OCRemoved... Ah, the memories.

True, I could do that, I could drop the tuning to D, and play it on there. Or I could have a second guitar tuned to what I need, which I do have a second guitar, and just use it instead of my main. This advice has been very helpful. Thank you everyone. And thank you Neblix for spending time talking to me last night about it as well.

Hey everyone. I have a question about transposing. My guitar is tuned to E Standard (E A D G B E), and a song I want to play is calling for the guitar to be tuned down a half step. Yes, silly as it may sound, I don't wish to tune down to Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. Instead, I was wondering about how to transpose the song so that I can play it in E Standard. The song itself is in Bb Major (the key signature has two flats in it on B and E). It looks like it should be transposed to Gm, at least, according to the chart I have. But I'm really not sure. I'd really appreciate the help, I'm planning on learning this song for an event about 8 months from now, and I really want to know how to do this. I know what the simple answer is, but I don't want to have to do that if I don't have to.

I just want you to know, you have my full confidence. By the way, I've just updated Rozovian's Frozen River track. It's been tagged appropriately and is also updated in the .rar archive as well.

I've been playing a lot more frequently. I'm on PS4, and my handle there is Dyne2057. If you see me on and want to run Strike lists or Crucible, feel free to hit me up. I'm looking forward to getting to 30, I'm over halfway there now, but I need some Legendaries yet, so, it'll take some time.

ALBUM RELEASED!!! GO HERE: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=982218#post982218

It is with great pleasure, and the utmost gratitude to The Coop and all of the musicians who took part in this years album, that I officially release this album! I hope that you will all enjoy this album, and will share it with as many people as you can! Thank you so very much to everyone who participated, and especially The Coop for taking the reins and putting it all together!! http://www.obtusemusic.net/OCR_Christmas/index.htm (As always, if I screwed up anything with the site, let me know, I will be monitoring. But I think I've got it just right this year, so here's hoping!!)

I'm currently working on the site, and listening to the tracks from the album as I do. I am once again amazed and humbled by everyone who took part in this album. Thank you all so very much. Especially The Coop, because he took care of getting this album done, as well as creating some amazing artwork for the cover. This is truly an amazing album, and I'm looking forward to sharing it this year, just as much as all of the other years that An OverClocked Christmas has been around. Look for my release post within the next day or two.

I humbly await the track list and files so I may facilitate the new page for this year's album.

No worries. Was probably just my imagination then. Still sounded cool.

So, there's this: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2842453/internet-archive-brings-900-classic-arcade-games-to-your-browser.html Which is totally awesome. You should totally check out this section of the site called The Console Living Room. https://archive.org/details/consolelivingroom

I found something...strange. I wanted to share this. This is a student from Harvard playing guitar for an audience. http://youtu.be/k4ixAfJ1LuI?t=2m26s Metal Gear Solid 4 Theme http://youtu.be/lGf2b1H91JA Maybe it's just me, but there seem to me to be some similarities. But I could be wrong. You decide.

I'm in. Dyne2057 on PSN.

So hey, this is a bump. Just to remind folks that this is really happening. And that I am, once again, eternally grateful for The Coop doing this.
