Oh please, it sounds perfectly fine. If you had to think of the recording setting for unnatural vocals or sound effects, it'd be a permanent killjoy. But what's in place sounds pretty effective.

Shaddaps. IF the vocals & spoken word stuff were pulled off in a beginner-ish way, I could be with you, but when it's pulled off well like this, you're just way off-base. People always complaining...

We've already accepted at least 2 ReMixes of ReMixes. Section 6, part 5 of the standards says "Submissions that are revisions or new versions of existing, posted ReMixes will only be evaluated as additions, not as replacements, and must be substantially different. Revisions are not encouraged and may be held to higher standards." Something like this mashup that relies on the direct sampling of original audio (like a traditional remix) would be rejected.

If you need help putting together files, Andrew will vouch for me re: FF4 recently. So feel free to get in touch with me if necessary. I'd like to look over your file tagging anyway to make sure everything is nice and consistent before the release.

Of course it's not allowed as an actual ReMix. You just mashed it up, you didn't primarily create the original audio.

VERY strong stuff. I'm glad Andrew and Dave both appreciated the synergy of electronic and organic instrumentation as much as I did. This was some really intelligent arrangement!

Case-by-case. Trying to generally answer your question though, I don't care if the structure is "DJ friendly". As long as the arrangement is sufficiently creative, interpretive and developed, you're free to do whatever you want with the structure. AnSo's right in that most tracks like your implied example probably wouldn't make it, potentially for lack of development, or potentially for lack of source usage. But like I said, it's case-by-case.

Please keep your fake stats in your ass where they belong.

Have some faith. I'm sure we can try something down the line after DragonCon too.

Please mail the Smirnoff Ice to the Georgia Dome, and my peeps will make sure I get it!

Hahaha! For the record, the random naked guy tripped over me and fell on the hardwood floor. With 3 drunk people roaming around, I thankfully saw no butts or nuts.

Brad, stop being a idiot all the time. You don't need to shit on other artists just because some other idiot said something stupid.

OverClocked ReMix Releases Free Fan Tribute Album, Final Fantasy IV: Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption July 19, 2009 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA--OverClocked ReMix today released its 14th project album, Final Fantasy IV: Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption. The album consists of 46 arrangements of composer Nobuo Uematsu’s original score to the Square Enix game Final Fantasy IV. The album is available for free download at http://ff4.ocremix.org. Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption is not affiliated with or endorsed by Square Enix. Nearly 40 artists participated in honoring Uematsu in this all-encompassing project which consists of over three hours of music. The three-disc project consists of three acts; Betrayal, Strife, and Redemption. The discs correspond with the drama of the story and the tracks are arranged as a narrative, culminating in the two-part finale of act three. The album is best classified as a rock opera, but a variety of genres are represented in the album, enhancing the breadth of the original score. Andrew Luers, head coordinator and co-creator of the project, states, “It's been a pleasure to work with so many excellent musicians who all share a similar passion for the original soundtrack. This is a fantastic album, and I'm incredibly excited to share our team's hard work, dedication, and most of all talent with the Final Fantasy music fans around the world.” About OverClocked ReMix Founded in 1999, OverClocked ReMix is an organization dedicated to the appreciation, preservation, and interpretation of video game music.

Nice work!

Nah. Hahahahaha!

starla, you smell! (i.e. you smell nice, but "8-bit Eighties" lyrics, we need 'em!)

Very strong stuff. I'd say this is Andrew's most polished piece yet. Everything came together really nicely here. If you had told me Kaijin had worked on this, I'd have believed it.

Which ones? The ones coinciding with the release of the OUS album or the ones pulled from the not-yet-completed OCR project, and thus aren't late? In other words, .

From "best" to "great", also.

We'll take care of those. We have a other songs in the DB that don't have ReMixes assigned to them, we're fine with that.

I can see what was meant about wanting the length to be extended, but that was never a big deal. It got in, it got out; win. Also, harping on fadeouts regardless of context is one of the dumbest criticisms ever in the community. It was always dumb when Prot did it, and it's dumb now.

Hey, for the Scuba Divers track, what's being said in the background in the line about Tidus from 1:11-1:12?

Seems like you're being way too "serious business". He wasn't going for oneupsmanship, so dial it down.

No worries, I appreciate the quick response. I need to get some sleep, but will finish the tagging and upload the files either tonight or tomorrow.

If you guys know which game characters correspond to the Scuba Divers lyrics, lemme know. Can I get a roll call of the Zeromus choir members, alpha'ed? -------- Those are pretty much the last things I need to finalize the stuff. Also noting now that I changed a few source tune titles to reflect the official English language tracknames, courtesy the US iTunes release, same as we did for VotL.
