We're going to interview Nobuo Uematsu THIS AFTERNOON! We're going to have Uematsu-san himself randomly pick the winner thanks to random.org! When we have our winner, we'll post who the lucky guy or gal is, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for this weekend!

No, you can send it back whenever. That said, keep in mind we're NOT the Workshop forums, so don't use us like them. Don't rush what you're working on.

Nothing to be sorry about. Welcome aboard!

It's all set. Back to the shadows with me!

Much love and birthday wishes to your newfound oldness!

Thanks for the catch!

We don't have too many holidays in OCR-land, but djp's birthday is one of them, so post your birfday well-wishes and grim reaper abacus pics! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, David J. Pretzel, thanks for starting OC ReMix.

Damn right. Time to get OFFICIAL.

Why? Can't say that makes much sense. If you were in a club setting, the other people wouldn't be chanting "Bounce" back at whoever was saying it, they'd be bouncing.

It's a locked thread. It's not meant to be posted in.

I like this one in a vacuum, but it always felt too liberal to me. Would love to see an arrangement breakdown of this one. That said, an oldie but goodie cut!

I've heard it already, but make whatever changes you have and hook it up. Mail me at larryoji@ocremix.org when it's done.

Excellent show!

Chernabogue: We did a stealth edit, but added yours to the panel anyway since we just messed up the date we were up to.

I doubt that'll work. Because we're fixing most of the filesnames of everything before, say... #1600, there's gonna be a lot of files in the new torrent where stuff doesn't match up with filenames. Aside from a more technical solution I wouldn't know, the main thing nearly all the old versions and updates versions of the files will share is the "Set Subtitle" field, which is where Dave has always put the unique OCR ID # of the mix. There were maybe 2 or 3 mixes where the ID number was typo'ed that I fixed, but otherwise that's a unique identifier that should be able to be matched up through a program like MP3tag.

You can't just throw it out there like that. I wanna see.

Definitely some smooth stuff. We've have nothing else like it, so this is a welcome debut from both Tryezz & DiGi!

If the new file is different, I believe it would replace existing files by re-downloading. A torrent download isn't smart enough to "update" a file by somehow determine what bytes are different and amending existing files. A torrent will skip a file if the same version already exists in the directory you're downloading the torrent to. In other words, as long as you don't care about iTunes play counts and that kind of thing, you can just bahleet the individual ReMixes you have and get the updated ones when they come out.

That project's coming in 2021.

Hey Niyazi, did any more NiGHTS mixes ever end up getting made?

OC ReMix Presents NiGHTS: Lucid Dreaming July 5th, 2011 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA--OverClocked ReMix, in association with NiGHTSintoDreams.Com, today released its 26th arrangement album, NiGHTS: Lucid Dreaming. This album, directed by OverClocked ReMixer and staff member Stevo "Level 99" Bortz, features 32 musicians creating 25 arrangements and two bonus tracks from Sega's 1996 game NiGHTS into dreams..., released exactly 15 years ago today on the Sega Saturn. It also features numerous pieces of artwork by a dedicated group of fans, intended to compliment the music and showcase the creativity and diversity of the original game. The new album represents the first Sega Saturn title to receive an OC ReMix album. NiGHTS: Lucid Dreaming is available for free download at http://lucid.ocremix.org. The album was produced to help promote the music of NiGHTS into dreams..., was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by SEGA or Sonic Team; all original compositions and characters are copyright their respective owners. "To me, NiGHTS into dreams... defines what the essence of the Sega of old was: creative, original, adventurous, and memorable. The music was the most memorable part of the game for me: I've been listening to the soundtrack for 15 years now. Despite being a cult classic, NiGHTS has not received its due attention over the years. Two years ago, I started this album, hoping to pay respect to the music, the game, and their creators through art and sound. I couldn't be more proud of the amazing work everyone put into this album, and I hope you all enjoy it!" said director Stevo Bortz. Ranging a wide variety of genres, images, and dreamscapes, the album also features the recurring theme of the NiGHTS musical motif throughout the album, as well as a song with vocals contributed from thirty NiGHTS fans. Lucid Dreaming will also be the first OC ReMix album heard by both the game's creators and its lead composer, thanks to associate producers Lynne "TRiPPY" Triplett and Niyazi "DiGi Valentine" Sonmez, creators of the NiGHTS fansite NiGHTSintoDreams.Com. "One of the most surreal things to happen was the opportunity to give the completed album to two of the game's original creators. At this year's Summer of Sonic convention, NiGHTS creators Yuji Naka and Takashi Iizuka each received a hand-delivered copy of Lucid Dreaming," said Bortz. "Iizuka was so excited when he was told what it was that he asked for additional copies to give to the game's lead composer, Tomoko Sasaki. Having this album in the hands of those responsible for the game's creation is a feat I never thought would happen, and shows that the process has come full circle: the fans are giving back to the creators."
