I've only heard the resubmitted version, for the record. Very interesting and fresh arrangement approach here, Nicholas. The performances aren't tight in some sections (more noticeable e.g. :37-:55). When you have relatively few instruments and thin textures where the instruments are pretty exposed, very upfront stuff like the guitar should be performed tighter so that timing or note flubs don't stick out this much; we definitely allow for mistakes hear and there, but overall the flow needs to stay reasonably strong. Arrangement-wise, this was an easy pass. The sound quality sounded kind of lossy, but was alright. But the performance, which has a lot of quality and character, needs to be improved another step or two before this felt like it was fully clicking. Can't say enough how fully I agreed with OA, even having not read his vote until after I wrote my own; we're hearing the same issues. Don't be discouraged at all. I think you could definitely get the timing a bit tighter on this piece or apply those criticisms to your future pieces, but either way you're on the road to getting something approved here and posted if you keep at it. I loved listening to this one and hearing this creative take on Ky Kiske's theme. Let's improve it another step further! NO (resubmit)

Yeah, right from :47, the robotic stiffness of the guitar sequencing sticks out too much. Love the treatment of the theme overall though, which was a surprisingly catchy source tune. Wow, the track was SPARSE at the dropoff at 1:25. The drumming introduced there needs to fill up the space more while we're waiting for more elements to come in. The low encoding hurt the sound quality (we need at least 192kbps now, anyway), but totally agreed with Vinnie that the stiff sequencing was what ultimately dragged this down. I'm also agreed that more overt references to the source tune in the second half of the track would make the source use more obvious. Definitely resubmit this one, CJ, it's going in the right direction! NO (resubmit)

Pretty cover-ish, but nicely personalized instrumentation. The energy's a bit subdued due to relative emptiness in the textures -- it's arguably thin, but I think adequate; the space is filled out OK. The mixing's OK, but a bit weaker than it should be; it almost sounds like some highs got cut that prevents the performance from sounding as upfront as it probably should. Not a huge deal, overall. The ending was also a bit sudden and not a strong resolution, but that said, I'm feeling the arrangement all the way. It gets a lot more right than it gets wrong, and has a mellow approach that ultimately shows off a lot creativity. YES

Needs a unique title, but sounded good - LT Hello Guys, I speak from Brazil and I have a project where we played games of the classic 8-bit and 16 bit platforms among others. Is called ''Abreu Project''. Would you like to send a version of a song I did. The arrangement is for the song'' Marble Garden Zone'' From the Genesis Sonic 3. I have many other remix on my Soundcloud. www.soundcloud.com/breusera Facebook - Abreu Project Twitter - Abreu Project YT - Abreuprojectvgmusic Hope you enjoy.

Mental note put here for posterity: Hated (HATE) the fonts for credits & tracklist within the rough art in the OP. They look too generic, so let's spice 'em up for the final look!

OC ReMix Presents Final Fantasy: Random Encounter! June 18, 2012 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA... OverClocked ReMix today released its 35th arrangement album, Final Fantasy: Random Encounter. The album pays tribute to the original Final Fantasy, released by Square in 1987 for the Nintendo Famicom (a.k.a. the Nintendo Entertainment System). Featuring twenty-one tracks from twenty artists, Random Encounter represents the second directorial endeavor of Brandon Strader and is available for free download at http://encounter.ocremix.org. Random Encounter sports a diverse roster of musicians, showcasing veterans and newcomers from video game music communities OverClocked ReMix and The Shizz. The original Final Fantasy was the breakout game soundtrack for the then 28-year-old Nobuo Uematsu, who quickly became one of the most renowned game composers of all time. Album musicians honored Uematsu's influential soundtrack by arranging it in a number of styles, with a strong focus on guitar and heavy metal. Random Encounter was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Square Enix; all original compositions are copyright their respective owners. "For the last two years, a group of brothers united in metal worked together to create the most brutal album to ever grace the halls of OverClocked ReMix. This album is the result of three things: 1) an immense love for Nobuo Uematsu and his work, 2) an immense love for metal, and 3) the kind of comraderie that only the most grim and frostbitten of metalheads will ever know," said director Brandon Strader. "Words can't express the level of gratitude I have for everyone who helped this album become what it is today. We're very happy with this album, and I personally consider most of these remixes to be the definitive fan-remix versions of these classic songs." About OverClocked ReMix Founded in 1999, OverClocked ReMix is an organization dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of video game music as an art form. Its primary focus is ocremix.org, a website featuring thousands of free fan arrangements, information on game music and composers, resources for aspiring artists, and a thriving community of video game music fans. ### Preview it: Download it: http://encounter.ocremix.org Torrent: http://bt.ocremix.org/torrents/Final_Fantasy_-_Random_Encounter.torrent Comments/Reviews: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=40366

Pretty cool story behind the arrangement, with Brandon using halc's first 38 seconds as the inspiration and base behind the arrangement, then building his own pseudo-halc/Strader collab. I wasn't disappointed by anything here. I thought the structure worked out nicely, keeping a pretty steady energy level and providing variations through subtle instrumentation changes and dropoffs. Loving the creative treatment of the source the whole way through. Nice work, and a solid part of a VERY stacked FF1 album. Props to Brandon for his dedication bringing all of it together! YES

Any luck on uncovering the old files?

Didn't hear the first version, but just throwing a quick co-sign on this one after the fact. The handling of the source was relatively straightforward, but the original was there in spades. Even if the dropoffs and early builds could make this seem liberal, I didn't find it to be. I thought the only thing SonicThHedgog made was bad posts. Congrats, bro, you're the new Nekofrog! Welcome! YES

Offhand, ilp0, fredrikd and Vurez sound like potentially great fits for this. It's not controversial, but I noticed that too before seeing the Q here, so might as well double the ask about that. Also, would the composer retain ownership of their soundtrack (e.g. same situation as Super Meat Boy)? It's just one opinion, but I find composer's retaining rights encourages them to promote their work harder, since there's more incentive.

Panel 6 Saturday, July 28, 12 NOON Hilton Baltimore hotel (across the skybridge connected to the Baltimore Convention Center) What should we do for our panel? If you're gonna be there, give us suggestions!

List as in "Top 10/Top 100/Best Evar" list? No. It's basically a song recommendations thread based on styles.

Sounds like a fun, reasonably open-ended term to me.

I saw this thread and thought it was an interesting idea, so I made a big list. It's just my personal feel for "quirky" (peculiarity of character) as a song descriptor, mostly thinking of mixes with "quirky" rhythms, instrumentation and/or deviation from the mood of the source material. That said, I just did a short sweep, so it's not the be-all-end-all comprehesive list, especially for such a subjective word. Anyway, have fun with it and TRY EVERYTHING! --------------------------------------------------------- • 7th Guest 'Fat Dance' by "The Fat Man" George Alistair Sanger http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00741/ • A Boy and His Blob 'Cyborg Blobby' by Mazedude http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00881/ • ActRaiser 'Fill More Funk' by djpretzel http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00541/ • Adventures of Bayou Billy 'Trippin' on Alligators' by Mazedude http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00808/ • Akumajo Dracula 'Mucho Dollar Care a Junk CIA' by Shnabubula http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01289/ • Banana 'Slumber Party' by Grodan Grobi http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00059/ • Battletoads 'Bird Guy Jam' by Kumeelyun http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00292/ • Battletoads 'Toads in the Suite' by Mazedude http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02396/ • Blaster Master 'Amphibian' by wRenchpilot http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00350/ • Bubble Bobble 'Hillbilly Rodeo' by djpretzel http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00014/ • Castlevania 'garlic' by posu yan http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01776/ • Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance 'Behold the Winged Cathedral' by Shnabubula http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01456/ • Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance 'Swingin' with Death' by Nase http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01924/ • Cauldron II 'It's Binary, Baby!

Your post is ridiculous. You're unreasonable for treating one post as representative of the collective consciousness of an entire community. One person saying "God sucks" doesn't reflect anything about OC ReMix. Some guy was dumb on the internet. It happens. OC ReMix isn't a God-hating forum. Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, Wiccan, whatever, all are welcome, because our community isn't about exalting or bashing religions, it's about video game music. Move on.

The FF7 album had a FLAC release, so no worries about those 2. Thanks so much for Jueeeeeeese.

Loved it from the moment I heard it. Lovin' the groove bias.

Definitely feel free to look, but the end result has to be the same. Even EQ changes are a no-go, unfortunately. "Chasing Waterfalls" is on the DKC3 project, so if you gave a lossless copy to Emunator, he should have it, though it doesn't hurt for me to have it too. Rock. I definitely appreciate you taking a look, K. Pras. Yeah, I think I've got everything available from your material, but I'll double check and let you know. I know the older stuff's long gone. :'-(

1. Don't be slighted! Human error! 2. Don't collab with people with earlier names than yours in the alphabet, OK! It throws off the scent! Excellent. Looking forward to 'em.

SUCCESS! ReMixes 1-2500 retagged! http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41730 I still want better encodings of past OC ReMixes. I have most of djp's and Mazedude's stuff, and most mixes with lossless releases (album projects/free Bandcamp DLs) are already covered. I'm looking to get other mixes as well, no matter if they're from 1999 or accepted but not yet posted. IF you've already given me something in the past, I still have it, no worries. Email me a hosted link to FLAC or WAV copies of your past OC ReMixes at larryoji@ocremix.org. They can't be changed from the existing version on the site, I'm just looking for the versions currently on OCR as WAVs or FLACs. OC ReMixers with >5 mixes (specifically listed since you have the most tracks): Are you on this list? Got WAV backups of your old mixes? You do?! POST HERE or EMAIL ME! Know someone on this list? Can you ask them for me and report here? THANK YOU! DON'T have WAVs? PLEASE do let me know, so I don't bug you. 192kbps MP3s are also OK if you had to reduce the bitrate to fit the old 6MB and 8MB size limits, and you have no other backup.

I mentioned this to Andrew when hearing the early WIPs for this one during the compo, but I'm still legitimately bothered by the weak drum tone and sparse textures. There's a lot of volume, but the elements were thin. The strings lacked the body or warmth to fill out the background space. From :20-:41 and later on (e.g. 1:09-1:30, 1:50-2:00), it sounds like the cymbals and drums are clipping/distorting. There's a crunchiness or something going on that's really unpleasent. Loved the bass writing from :41-1:04, though the mixing for this section felt off. The background electric guitar & e-piano writing (if I have those parts right) was well-written, but too quiet to be fully appreciated. Enjoyed the Blanka arrangement in particular, as well as the tradeoffs between that theme and C. Viper's. The Blanka theme at 2:59 felt like too much of a copy-pasta as far as arrangement ideas, but it was brief, and the arrangement itself was strong. Honestly, I like the structure and flow here, and the arrangement works, but the persistent distortion (biggest issue), some thin-sounding instrumentation, and lesser balance issues dragged this down too much as is. Would love to hear this touched up so everything was sounding fuller and more cohesive. NO (refine/resubmit)

Street Fighter 4 (Main) and Street Fighter 2 Ok, I'll level with you guys; I never liked the Blanka theme, but speeding it up (a lot) and modulating it made it one of the most killer sounding melodies ever when put on top of a modified C. Viper theme. Who knew that was all you needed to do? Part DnB, part metal, fully aggressive; this arrangement trims away pretty much everything but the basics and keeps it tight. ToD stands for 'Touch of death' which is fighting game slang for a ridiculously brutal combo, ending in either a KO or stun. Such a badass name needs a badass mix, and I think this lives up to it. -Andrew C. Viper's Theme Blanka's Theme

The piano sample is pretty good; not anything one would mistake for a real piano, but the distinct lack of realism of the sound doesn't bother me after a few listens. Absolutely love this piece in a vacuum, Joe. But the arrangement is too liberal and much of the middle was basically improvisation over a super stripped down 2-note chord progression. One could argue the arrangement's too indulgent when keeping in mind that the source tune usage in required to dominate the arrangement. Giving this as much credit as I could, here's all I eeked out for overtly hearing the Special Stage theme in play: :00-:01, :09.75-:18, :23-:32, :45-:52, :54-1:01.75, 1:03-1:10, 1:11.75-1:17 (loose), 1:28-1:35, 2:42.5-3:09 Counting gaps or not, it just doesn't add up so far to anywhere near 50% of the length of a 3:38-long track. If anything can be done to use the Special Stage more directly and not just go on crazy (awesome) runs that go way too far off the beaten path of the source, I'd love to YES this. But what this shows off in technical/performance prowess, it lacks in overt source usage. If we can never post this in some form with revisions, it's a great piece, just not one that falls under OCR's standards. NO (resubmit)

Remixer Name: Pumpkin King Real name: Joe Dumpe Email: Website: soundcloud.com/pumpkin-king youtube.com/pumpkinking872 User ID: 48065 Name of Game: Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega Genesis) Name of Arrangement: Drifting Through the Surreal Name of song arranged: Special Stage Original Composer: Masato Nakamura Link to source track: My arrangement is included in the attachment. This is a piano arrangement for the special stage in Sonic the Hedgehog from the Sega Genesis. The stages are very surreal. It's almost as if you are in a dream. It is so surreal. The backgrounds change from underwater environments, to environments high in the sky. So I think that the style that I play in very often fits with the feel of the environment, and the ethereal sounding song. So I played to it with my signature style (hard to explain) and added good reverb and some stereo echo effects to capture the feel of being in another world. I ended it with the original style of the tune to give it more of a satisfying closure. I used Garageband and Logic Pro for my DAW. I used the Galaxy Vintage D library for the piano sound.
