Ok well, I did what I could in the 10 minutes I had alone, before my parents came back, thinking I'l work on it over the weekend. Wrong. My parents have decided they want to stay at my place til next Friday. That means no speakers, no mastering, only earphone work, and that means innaccurate. So rather than do no work on it for over a week, then work on it, finding I'v lost my passion, and then fucking it up, I thought I'd save you all the time and just post what I got. Opinions will be noted, so comment away: I am still thinking of cleaning it up eventually, mabey submitting it (sorry my parents deciding to stay a week has killed my musical/life drive for the moment.....).... http://vmeissner.googlepages.com/VQ-WornOutShoes.mp3 I like the visual: for some reason I can see a group of hero's braving the elements and attempting to travel by foot through the wilderness in terrible conditions (for some reason, I keep seeing a snowstorm on a mountain path) just to get to the next township... Hope you guys like it, comment away.. and if you want, recommend me another song that might work in a similiar style (I only listened to 2 songs before finding World map 2) i'l see if i'm inspired...

I was about to upload it when my parents left my house for a bit, so I checked it out on speakers... ... No one hears this shit. Not yet. Its really quite nice, on earphones.... but i need to properly fix balance with bass etc before I upload this for you guys. Is it OCRemix material? Hmm... I think the arrangment is liberal but still true to the source, and I can get sound quality to an acceptable level... Its going to be submit-able, thats for sure Sorry to tempt you guys like this, and I hope the end product is worth it in your opinions.... honestly, I love this peice, and Iv only worked on it like what... 4-5 hours?

Well you'l be happy to know Iv started and its actually flowing quite well (at least on EARphones, havnt had time on speakers yet... ). Keeping the piano/string sound, with a different texture... 24 hours from now I'l post a sample (It might be really teasing though) Got kinda lucky actually: I made up like 3-4 instruments and made a really crappy simple loop, and was going to give up, because I relised my 'mix' idea was pretty much the original song with newer sounds and stronger drum beat. Then for some reason, I tried a bass rhythm that forced me to 150% the time signature. Now I have a punnet (i was gonna say bunch, but i dont have that many) of ideas, and arrangment is becoming more detailed... this may turn into a proper mix after all!

Nice tune, dude! The compo sounds like fun too...

I'm starting a chill mix of World Map 2.... Its not going to be very well 'arranged', probably very much a midirip, but I can SO hear this in my style. So dnt expect it on OCR, but I'l whip out something within the next 2 days

Whenever I come to OCR, I come strait here.... Iv done more remixes for OCR requests than I have alone (not including PRC compo entries). I dont necessarily finish the mixes, but I'l happily make a 1 1/2 minute mix just for a quick challenge or something to do. What I dont like is that the requester usually has the peice planned in their head, and if the remixer doesnt give them exactly what they want they can get whine-y. Additionally, when I'm done with a mix, I loose all inspiration to keep working on it, and sometimes I get suggestions for improvments I just dont wanna take up.... no demands, I just feel guilty for ignoring them.... Oh... and a little gripe from a remixers point of veiw.... If your going to request a song, post links to it please. I dont really want to spend time hunting for a request only to go 'not my style'. I havnt been to OCR in a while though, Iv been working on my album (which is now finished, yay)..... LETS GO FIND A REQUEST!!!

Theory of Nonexistance did that one, he's floating around, PM him and he'l probably give a link.

ooo, you submitted a WiP for Scumball? Looks like we have a good ol' fasioned mix-off 'ere.... May the best man win! *play pity card* I just hope my kids get to hear the music dedicated to my dead wife which I wrote with my nose (because I have no limbs) before I die of AIDS, in this third world country...

Just sent a PM to LT with a WiP for ScumBALL, awaiting feedback....

When this first was announced what, like a year ago, i wanted to sign up, but was told by LT that my stuff wasnt good enough. Given the VAST improvement in my ability (and an actual name to release under), I'm retrying out for this. I'l see what i can spit out for Scumball, ALL TRACKS!! Will post a WiP link within 24 hours

I started a Midna's Theme remix a while ago, as part of a personal challenge. I had 1 hour to do as much as I could. http://vmeissner.googlepages.com/Mdina2.mp3 i COULD continue it, but... *shrug* i dont know if I can make anything substantial and enjoyable from it....

*shrug* ah well

meh, too many entries... not 56k friendly

.... I didnt even know this existed, but I want it... I only have the default sound banks, but I love the string sounds, almost all my peices have string parts in them Just got a new job, so wont be buying this yet... i'l update you when I do if its soon...

I need a rapper PM me plz

Hey guys Bad news... Alot of stuff has come up in my life, and I'm gonna have to say I wont be there for the meetup. I'd say we could delay it, but these things could take a while to clear up..... By all means, if people are still up for meeting do so, this isnt a cancelation of the entire event.... But me, the most AWESOME person you could ever meet, will not be there, and my place wont be available for afterwards. Again, really sorry...

I dunno... I'd be INTERESTED but I went through the soundtrack and I didnt get much, if any, inspiration.... Dont know if my style will work with this... I'l keep listning, see what I get

http://vmeissner.googlepages.com/SpyroWITHHASTE.mp3 Spyro the Dragon for PSX, the opening theme I did this for PRC, in 1 hour n 10 minutes. Im not gonna work on it anymore, i dont think, the arrangment isnt good enough for submission and cant be bothered thinking of fixes atm. I dont usually release my remixes, but this one is all happy and makes me bounce, so I thought I'd share it and pass on the love.

HOW DO YOU ALL LIKE HAPPY HAPPY!?!?! I LIKE HAPPY HAPPY!!! I MAKE HAPPY HAPPY IN MAH MUSIC PANTS!!! WANT TO SEE?!?! COOL!!! http://vmeissner.googlepages.com/SpyroWITHHASTE.mp3 I call it 'SPYROHAPPYHAPPYWITHHASTE' cos you say it real fast like without any breaks. Ahem. Yeh, so this took me an hour n 10 minutes, not including render + upload. I love it, personally, very upbeat and smiley. hehehe, and both avaris's n my mixes are 2:09... Meanwhile, yeh, i'm totally not digging PRC much atm sorry... i'm trying to finish material for a psudoalbum....

Starting somthing right now... lets see what will become...

Awesomeness! Anyone heard from AB on this matter? I'l give him an SMS later today ...mabey... if i remember.... Damn, the 3rd's pretty close already...

DUDE!! Waiting for samples, I got some great ideas, PLUS i wanna use this....

ITS HAPPENING AGAIN!! Yes, the frivolous time of year where us Aussie nerds/geeks throw caution to the wind and SOCIALISE. Traumatic as it is, we always end up with smiles on our lips, astroglide at our crotch, and our inner gamer satisfied. And so, it is my pleasure to announce.... The 2nd Sydney Australia Gaming (OCR) Meetup!! Note that this is not an OCR meetup, it is a gaming meetup, and its being advertised on OCR. Multiple reasons for that, and I wont get into it, because I dont want to be banned. Ok so the plan this time is to actually get some gaming and remixing in. Hence, here are the details so far: Date: Saturday 3rd March Time: 10am Place: Town Hall steps 10:00am - Meet. Recognise each other quickly, comparitive to last time 10:05am - Galaxy World, baby!! Arcade gaming til we'r broke or someones crying 11:30am - LUNCH!! No where super expensive or far away this time. Momma's Kitchen is an awesome pasta place a block away from Galaxy World. I'l make a reservation this time too... 12:30-1:00pm - Head back to my(semi) place in North Sydney for gaming and so forth From here, nothings planned. Theres space for people too sleep if they dont want to head home that night. They'l be 2 TV's (projector + normal TV), stereo, 2 compies (no internet though ) sooo umm... yeh. With the 2 TV's, I personally beleive 2 Wii's (with 6 Wii controllers) and 1 DC will be satisfactory. I'l bring my Wii and as many remotes as I can LIST OF THINGS TO BRING Projector - V Wii - V, Wii/GC games/controllers - V, Dreamcast + Controllers - Dreamcast Games - USB Mic - LIST OF PEOPLE V (Sam?) Fireman Joe (+ friends?) Akujamo Belmont Watkinzez (Dave?) DunnoWhatHuh (if he turns up this time) Chaotix (Matt?) B = confirmed, Tabs = friended So yeh, add your name to the list, suggest somthing you could bring ... etc etc.

I still got 1 song awaiting feedback from some people, AND THE OTHER ONE STILL NEEDS GUITAR TO BE RECORDED FOR IT, TAUCER I"M LOOKING AT YOU, VERY SUBTLE ARNT I I'l pm you links in a bit.

So far, very awesome. Already used acouple of samples in a new song.... You know I'm up for the patchwork, just catch me up on IRC sometime
