No, that's not him. That channel's by some weirdo. His alternate channel is http://youtube.com/SilvaGunner2 and he won't be uploading content to it. Just to clarify, SilvaGunner never made money from the videos or had partner status. He got 1 strike from Viacom having a Team America clip, which he had uploaded back before he dedicated his channel to VGM. The 2nd came from the Record Industry Association of Japan for "Hikari" from Kingdom Hearts. Don't know what the 3rd strike was for yet. AFAIK, game companies weren't responsible for the takedown.

Hahaha, I'm very glad we didn't keep it, but I loved that song too. That's why I'm OCR's bad cop. But there was one fan, man, he pleaded and pleaded with us in the "Ocarina Boogie" review thread to keep it, and I just wasn't having it. Obvious removal candidate is obvious.

OCR02106 - *YES* Mega Man 4 'Get a Weapon Weapon'
Liontamer replied to OceansAndrew's topic in Judges Decisions
Just wanted to quickly co-sign on this great mix. This had cool, fun lyrics, but what really grabbed me (and will catch the ear of a lot of others), was the beat that immediately opened things up. You're mileage on the repetitiveness of the chorus may vary, but the different drop-ins right before "get a weapon weapon" and behind "ride so high" threw in some variation to not let things get stale. I always love hearing the latest mix that sounds nothing like any other mix. Awesome stuff, and hopefully not the last submission we hear from Sean & Dave. YES -
Every solo piano track from OC ReMix (download)
Liontamer replied to slickclyde's topic in General Discussion
As long as the tags aren't altered, and the proper credit is there (which is the case here), we WANT OC ReMixes to be redistributed. We encourage it. That said, I can't wait until we re-release the individual mixes. The updated tags are so much better! -

At this stage, I'm all good, but will definitely post if anything comes up.

djp has a lot on his plate. When he thinks it's a good time for it and has time for it, we'll get it done. We want to make sure to do it right.

Agreed with Vinnie that it's case-by-case, but re: Haunted Hell, removing that mix had less to do with the outside sampling, and more to do with using the original game audio, as opposed to re-arranging it. The Fight Club music sampling didn't help either. Basically direct audio sampling of any kind needs to be sparing, but SFX and spoken word stuff is generally fine. When direct audio sampling of VGM or outside music becomes a foundation of the track, then it becomes problematic.

Tiny problem with the latest front page mixpost.
Liontamer replied to Draconiator's topic in Site Issues & Feedback
Got fixed soon after you posted, so I appreciate the lookout! -
We have general album art by djpretzel, but it's still not 100% final, so I won't be giving it out. But eventually, it'll be out there.

I probably just transcribed it incorrectly. That fix will be live relatively soon. I'll catch up on older posts this weekend as well. So I've bothered Starla like 4 times about lyrics for "8-bit Eighties", and she LOL'ed it off saying there were only like 2 lines. But there are SO MUCH MORE LINEZ, DON"T LIE, GIRL! So we're going to either decipher her lyrics OR pester her into providing the actual lyrics! First stab with bootleg complementary airline headphones while juggling work! M-M-M-Mario He's the man Ooh, ooh Baby, touch and go [?] Go, Mario Ooh, ooh [?] Who you are [?] I love my mario He's such a good guy Mario! He's a sweetie too He's such a ? ? Mario... Will you marry me? Ohh, hey Mario, you're so fine You're so fine you blow my mind Hey, Mario Yeah yeah, hey, Mario M-M-M-Mario He's the man Ooh, ooh Baby, touch and go [?] Go, Mario Ooh, ooh [?] Who you are [?] So, Mario He's a ladies' man And a great dancer With a moustache Ohhh, Mario You're so cool So-so-so-so righteous He doesn't even break a sweat

I figured. That said, I'll need WAVs (preferable) or already encoded MP3s & FLACs so that I can prepare the files. Let me know what I can get those and I can help move that along when I have time.

Who's in the what now?

Contact Information * ReMixer name: HALO_ZERO * Real name: Cody Walton * Email address: walton.cody@gmail.com * Website: http://codywalton.com * OCR forum user id: 25433 Name of game(s) arranged: Yoshi's Island (SNES, 1995) Name of individual song(s) arranged: Level 1-1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ_hUgYKiv0 Additional information about game including composer, system, etc.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_World_2:_Yoshi's_Island Composer: Kōji Kondō 1995, SNES Link to the original soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ_hUgYKiv0 Your own comments about the mix: This one is pretty simple in theme. "What if Yoshi hosted a dance party show on MTV in the mid-80's?" Well, #1 it would be totally rad, bitchin', and tubular. #2, it would probably sound something like this. Hope you enjoy it! Cody Walton HALO_ZERO ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ_hUgYKiv0 - "Flower Garden" Heh. Well, the melody coming in at :09 certainly made this dissonant. As a child of the 80s, I heard my fair share of new wave/80s style stuff, so I get what you're going for, but it doesn't excuse this level of dissonance or the lack of cohesive textures. The soundfield had no depth to it, i.e. the individual sounds had no richness, were generally too dry, and there's no direction or focus here because the parts aren't properly balanced and because of the dissonance. The other judges will have more concrete ideas on how to fix this up, but it looks like it would take a lot of work to salvage something from it. Not sure you have the chops to do it yet, no disrespect, but I'd like to see how much you could improve this. You've been improving though, Cody, so do keep at it, and props for branching out in a different style than your previous subs. NO (resubmit)

ReMix name: With The Gold Comes The Curse Game: Wild Guns Source: Gold Mine stage ReMiXer: ilp0 I made this remix for the Hiroyuki Iwatsuki tribute compilation called IWADON (http://iwadon.com/), but I failed to finish this on time so it's not on the compilation. It's finished now so I'll try to post it here... It's got some James Bond theme song influences and some western moods too.. -- ================================ Ilari Nieminen -------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX6XXGzoy7g - "Gold Mine" In a vacuum, I love the track. It's cool, and no one can doubt Ilari's arrangement & production skills. That said, I don't feel this used the source enough to be the dominant portion of the arrangement. The track was 4:22-long, so I needed over 131 seconds of source use for it to be above 50% and pass it. The source usage breakdown I had was :28.5-:45.25 (-2.2 for rests), 52.5-1:11 (-3.8 for rests), 1:11-1:19, 1:20.75-1:27, 1:30-1:36, 1:39-1:44, 2:03-2:10, 2:32-2:41 (-4 for rests), 2:46-2:51 (-2 for rests), 2:52-3:02, 3:24-3:30, 3:38.25-3:44, 3:52.5-4:10 ...which came to 109.25 seconds (41.7%). There was also a section from 3:05-3:23 which may have been very, very loosely based on the chorus, but it was too liberal, IMO, and didn't sound as if there was a direct connection to the source. Arrangement-wise, I needed more overt usage of the source tune, but I will say that the original sections all pieced together seamlessly and would make anyone thing those parts were also from the game soundtrack. I'm really digging this as a listener, but, as is frequent with Ilari's music submissions, he really walks a fine line between using the source material enough vs. getting more indulgent with original, non-VGM-based sections. Sorry that I can't vote in favor of this one, but I always look forward to your stuff. NO (resubmit)

Quoted for co-signness. :'-( Agreed on the production crits (which weren't major, but worth noting). And the arrangement being too straightforward and undeveloped (not even breaking 90 seconds). Needs more substance. I'd be more down with the vocal melodies were more interpretive and this had some further development. NO Extended version? brentalfloss cameo? Balls? Give us somethin' more! We wanna feel the Backfire, so icy hot!

Project Majestic Mix Gold Edition: Value?
Liontamer replied to Infinity's End's topic in General Discussion
Looks like the top of the paper for the case got frayed up a little bit, but I'm certainly interested, Ryan. If you have a price you think is fair, lemme know and I'll pony up via PayPal.
