I saw, but I'll have to get back to you a little later. I'll hit you back.

Ormgas became OCR Radio and moved over to http://ormgas.rainwave.cc/ - They do have ratings. Enjoy!

If you're seeing more on Saturday, it's because we're asleep on Friday night, as you said, but there's no particular flood time. New bots register pretty much throughout every day at any hour; I It's a minor inconvenience, and some get through to stay up for a couple hours some nights, but it's otherwise taken care of.

Don't even bother reporting 'em, we see 'em. Really it's a just a matter of when people are around to delete them, which we always do in time, even if a flood of posts seemingly gets out of hand. AFAIK, once Dave switches to VB 3.8, there should be some CAPTCHA in place for the signups that should hopefully reduce the problem. I believe he needs to finish templating the v3.8 forums. In the meantime, the posts are definitely annoying, but don't worry about it or waste the time reporting them, it's cool.

Back at ya with another concoction from "Blue's Kitchen." This time, its a little different from my usual style. CONTACT INFO: Blue Magic Damon Campbell http://www.angelfire.com/blues2/bluemagic/ Anglefire tends to have its retarted moments, so if the link is not working, please let me know. REMIX INFO: Kingdom Hearts 2 "Sacred Moon" (with a little bit of "Passion" thrown in there) I kinda stepped out of my comfort zone with this mix and decided to try a more driving, energetic mix. I also added alot synth pads in the background that I heavily distorted using the Buzz Effect Adapter, which was a FL Studio default plugin that I use to totally ignore. That adapter gave my synths a buzzing, whiny, insect like sound that I thought was pretty cool and added greatly to the overall feel of this mix. When I first stared this mix, I was kinda hoping that I could something that was similar to Sephire's "Above the Rising Falls" remix. That was my main inspiration. I hope you guys have as much fun listening to my little mix, as I had making it. Peace, Damon Campbell (Blue Magic) ------------------------------------------------------------- Kingdom Hearts II Original Soundtrack - (226) "Sacred Moon" & (103) "Passion ~opening version~" Interesting approach. Didn't seem like it was quite clicking once things picked up. The timing of the strings brought in at :30 sounded slightly off; the articulations didn't sound realistic. I also thought the drumkit sounded really weak and uncomplimentary to the rest of the instrumentation during the main verses (:45-1:15 & 2:30-3:01). The background seemed to be missing the right element or two to properly fill this out & glue the pieces together. The ending at 3:31 was also extremely abrupt. A good base, Damon, and I generally like the arrangement ideas here, but the execution needs to be refined to fully deliver here. Definitely no reason to be afraid to move outside your comfort zone in the future; keep doing it! NO (resubmit)

It figures that even though I vote on 100% of the mixes, I let one slide. For a colleague no less. What kind of nepotism is THIS?!? http://doomdepot.doom2.net/music/doom%201%20&%202%20midis.zip - Doom II: Map 30 ("Opening to Hell") Seriously, the source tune is awesome for its barebonedednesses [sic], and this one retained the integral sine wave and bassline for the most-part, while building all sorts of unspeakable horrors to interact with it. Loved the change in the lead for the arranged melody from 3:52-4:14, BTW. With a source like "Opening to Hell", you're really left with a lot of room to build upward, and Jimmy & Chris did a great job with it. It bobs and weaves with dynamic energy that you'd never expect given the source. Nice work, and a great contribution to Delta-Q-Delta! YES

Highly recommended, BTW. A solid album!

Someone send an invite to admin@ocremix.org and let's see if we can get something going. Thanks for the suggestion!

Fast-tracked, since it addresses issues from a 2006 sub - LT Download link Contact Information Your ReMixer name: Game Over Your real name: There's a new line-up of Game Over. The band consists of Wire (Elisabeth Pezouvanis), Tim Reaper (Timo Hovinen), Dasaten (Dustin Shomer) and Egg (Mårten) Your email: nintendometal@yahoo.com Your website: http://www.nintendometal.com Your userid on forums: nr. 747 Submission Information Name of game(s) arranged - Castlevania Name of individual song(s) arranged - Level 1, level 3 Your own comments about the mix: Seven people worked with this remix: Aside from the band, Criss Blackburn, the vocalist of VII Gates (http://www.sevengates.se) did the backing vocals, Zoid from Satariel (http://www.satariel.com) did the growl, Another Soundscape did some of the mixing and Audiomaster (http://www.audiomaster.co.uk) did the mastering. This is a remaster of the original version from 2006 with new drums. Hope you like it. I (Wire) started working on the arrangement in October 2001. It was all in my head before I found some time to scrawl it down on a piece of paper (my normal song-writing/arrangement process). Since then I have grown to prefer a simpler, more subtle and less epic style (which can be heard in our future work). Due to four tempo changes and lots of different styles within the same song, this isn't our tightest performance ever and there were times when some of us cried blood. But it is one of the most appreciated songs of our fans and this is why we decided to redo it. Lyrics then. Yes, they are about S/M. About dominance and submission and switching back and forth between the two. The song plays around with the thought that this is how Dracula, with his creatively evil mind, found a new kind of amusement in killing Simon. One more thing should be mentioned. It's common in the lyrics of popular music to bring up the five senses. In the second part of the song we incorporated this cliché along with an added joke: Apparently, "sonar" is the sixth sense of the bat. IF you accept this mix we will celebrate by going live with our new homepage. Hope you enjoy, /Game Over through Wire. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.zophar.net/download_file/13507 - Track 2 ("Vampire Killer") Some of the timing around the 3-4 minute mark did sound like it should have been tighter, but Wire & crew already knew that, so that's cool. Production-wise this was mixed kind of loud, so some of the loudest vocals sounded kind of cramped, but this was clearly still solid. As Palpable told me, loud is "how the kids like it these days", and we all do it for tha chilluns. Arrangement-wise, very strong stuff with some cool vocals. Hahaha, I didn't pay close enough attention to the lyrics to actually digest the S/M theme here, but that's definitely some untrodden ground in the community. And whether it's a country music ballad or dominance vs. submission, we have no fuckin' fear! Looking forward to the next one from y'all! YES

I'll get in touch with the guy about proper credit, but the uploader never claimed he made it. Still, reporting mixes with no attribution (not necessarily plagiarism) is very useful too, so definitely keep 'em coming.

vB 3.8, save us!

What's the holdup?

The source is actually pretty upbeat!

Good call. The first 3 were great! Also, Sega really needs to publish Streets of Rage Remake officially. They're just leaving $ on the table, it's sad.

You really don't know the source music well. It's basically Metroid series music until 2:30 of a 3:25-long track. Just putting that out there, because this wasn't too liberal.

I believe we'll have it like that when vBulletin 3.8 is implemented. Prezzle?

Yep, the minority means nothing. Too many game journos don't give music anything more than a sentence, and it just looks flimsy.

http://www.zophar.net/download_file/9115 - Track 3 ("Magnetman Stage") What's up with that click/pop sound at the beginning. Ice that. Other than that, awesome. Great energy given to the theme, and great freestyling over the foundation of the original to keep it hot. I liked weed's work here, but I will admit the brass grabbed my attention the most; I was really liking the layered action going on. Man, this one I WIPs heard so long ago, I thought we'd never get it here, but props to Jon for never forgetting about it, and definitely gotta give respect to Danimal Cannon for spurcing up the production on it. I definitely remember the mixing not being ready for primetime with the old versions, yet this one brought it. Definitely a fun ride, this one. YES

Well, that may mean doing track # is still a viable option. I'll have to look into it more, especially how it would sort with different digits (e.g. 00001, 00010, 00100, 01000). Thanks for checking that! I generally add some sort of data in that field, but I never add contact/site/name in that field if I know an artist wants it hidden. If they provide that information in a sub letter, it's safe to say they're OK with the info out there, but I appreciate the sentiment. Good catch! I removed APE tags from the few mixes with them, and I also caught several with ID3v1 tags as well and removed those. Winamp 5 can remove those types of tags. If you have any other info on 'Broken Mirror Reflection' and what may be the tagging case there, let me know.

Here's some quick fun with Tony Twist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Twist

Original Decision: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18749 ALBUM PROJECT: Final Fantasy 4 'Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption' Never thought I'd ever see my 4GB RAM at 96%, but today was a first. I layered in more instruments to play more source as the piece progresses. It actually was there most of the song, but slowly got covered up. I was already on the fence with the voice, and decided to try another direction than continue experimenting with elements that really aren't my style. I admit I jumped the gun submitting this. Kinda had a feeling I'd get rejected after I submitted the first time cuz once my ear fatigue subsided I really started to hear lots of problems, so I had time to come up with new ideas. I'll just let the new changes speak for themselves. Crossing my fingers now cuz at 97% I think my computer explodes or something. James George jamesbgeorge@gmail.com #3557 --------------------------------------------------------------- http://snesmusic.org/v2/download.php?spcNow=ff4 - "The Lunarians" (ff4-41.spc) I didn't give you credit for the source usage provided by the opening piano chord, since that's definitely right from the source. That's enough to push it over 50% source usage, so that's cool. The strings post-3:00 still sounded a bit fake/exposed, and I didn't think the drums fit quite right. The brass also had some brief but awkward dissonance in there. In any case, I'm OK with the overall package, even if the last minute could afford to be tweaked. YES (borderline)

Remixer name: T.O.P Game: Zelda 3 Song: Zelda 3 Credits ----------------------------------------------------------------- http://snesmusic.org/v2/download.php?spcNow=loz3 - "Credits" (loz3-31.spc) Don't have too much to say. I could see how this could be viewed of as conservative, but while retaining the basic structure of the source, I thought this did a solid job weaving new original part-writing with personalized embellishments of the source. The last hanging note was just...there, but otherwise, I thought this got the job done well. YES

Hi oc team! I made a remix of the very famous track of "mute city" - (F-Zero) * Iamjot (remixer name) * Juergen Brunner ( real name) * contact@ilikescifi.com ( email address) * www.ilikescifi.com * Your userid - i´m sorry, i just didnt find it anywhere, please help me in this special case Submission Information * F Zero * "Old dying town" (original name: mute city) * Mute City has one of the most impressive simple but perfect guitar licks in the game-music history. Thats exactly why i decided to make a rock remix of this fantastic title. I used a muted-damped guitar with an old fuzz pedal of my dad and tried to set the drums as "authentic" as possible with battery. The lyrics tell the two different storys, happening beside 2 different streets (so it´s still all about racing). I tried to sing the words as hard and edgy as possible. best wishes and go on guys!!! Jurgen ----------------------------------------------------------- http://snesmusic.org/v2/download.php?spcNow=fz - "Mute City" (fz-09.spc) The lyrics are buried in the music, so bring 'em out more. The buildup to 1:08 ended up pretty anticlimactic. 1:40, as well, the new snare pattern there had no energy. 1:51 moved over into the source melody, but there was little dynamic contrast compared to the previous sections. This slowly built up to maybe 2nd gear, if that, when the structure seemed intended to build all the way up to 3rd. If you can tweak the production, perhaps develop the arrangement for another minute with some more ideas, and make the dynamics more pronounced, you'd have a stronger piece. Good start so far; it has some potential. NO
