Well well well, I can't believe that NiGHTS: Into Dreams is already 14 years old. This calls for a celebration! One year left until the Lucid Dreaming project is released, so I can think of no better gift than this.
To commemorate NiGHTS's 14th birthday, a single FINALIZED track is being released from the Lucid Dreaming project, along with two pieces of art. The song that is being released is called Twin Seeds Flyby, which is my ReMix of the track "Growing Wings". It is but a taste of what you can expect from the project when it comes out next year. I have also made a small youtube video with some footage from the game and whatnot.

Please feel free to leave feedback, and we'll see you all next year when the project comes out.

Happy birthday, man. Bring back the fro-hair and more neck beard, and the shumkhats. Can't forget the shumkhats.

Along with Duck Tales - The Moon, the SMB theme song, and Zelda, this is one of those source tracks that immediately comes to my mind that embodies video game music. Once you hear Sewer Surfin', you're almost guaranteed to never forget it the rest of your life. And what Sixto and Zircon did here was give it absolute justice.
The intro build is exactly as my dream remix of this would be, and the organs used throughout are beastly. It's a great balance in the mix between the show-stealing guitars and all the additional reinforcement. I especially enjoyed the solos, and Zircon's use of a synth lead that sounds suspiciously like a modernized version of the bass from Alleycat Blues is icing on the cake. Throughout, this song is just tops, and ridiculously awesome production.
The only version I can think of that might rival it is Nase's Turtle Wank, but that's a different approach with different goals. Give me either mix on any day and I'll be happy as a clam. Or a turtle.

Could I get you to redo that with a ReMix with my updated tagging layout? It might not be dramatically different (especially since OCR02001 uses mostly the same stuff). But I can send you some.
Yup, I'll use the latest ReMix for the template, unless the new tagging layout has not been implemented yet as such. If you want to, feel free to email me specifics.
Edit: And here's the result. The typical tags have lots of metadata which seems only appropriate to put into the summary, leaving the artist, game, and song title to be the "name" of the item. I've done my best to logically put data in its place, but the Comment tag (with the whole submission letter) I have left out for the moment.

Brushfire was going to try to get me to watch this with some folks at SGC tomorrow night. Now I'll tell him the only way he can get me to go is if we Riff the ever-loving crap out of it. In our speedos.
I've heard from some people that the series was pretty good. I've also heard that M. Night Schnablahbludan should stop making movies. I can't remember anyone saying anything good about any of his movies besides Sixth Sense. Signs was trite (even though I enjoyed some of the tension he created), The Village was retarded in retrospect, and I had no urge to see anything else he made.
-
Thanks for the info, Kyle. That's good to know.
Well, the least that can happen now, if the site is indeed defunct and the new slim-n'-trim virt isn't going to bring it back, I hope he doesn't forget his holiday promise last year about the torrent or zip or whatever of all the archived songs. I miss them songs ;_;
-
Yeah, I should talk to Brushfire about splitting this thread into an official OCAD thread where important announcements are made and something in offtopic where people can talk randomly. It does make the thread hard to follow!
Aside from having a panel room for an hour, how with OCR be involved in SGC2010? Will shirts and bumper stickers be sold? Will there be live DJ'ing for the video game room? I know there will be a Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (ReMix!) tournament, but will it be dominated by Larry's unabashedly pink T-Hawk? What Famous Personalities will be there? Are there any unofficial side events not on the SGC schedule? And so on.What will that wonderful hour in the panel room entail? A live podcast, hmm. Does that just mean hanging out, yakking about VGM, and playing ReMixes? Sounds like fun!
Pardon my ignorance. As has been previously observed, this thread is hard to follow.
Edit: wow, the post counter matches my name nicely!
Well, originally, OCR wasn't planned to be involved with SGC at all, as far as I am aware. After OCAD got the panel, that it was decided it should be split between OCR and OCAD. There's going to be some prizes and a small amount of merch will be sold (there wasn't much left so there won't be much). As for live DJ'ing, probably not going to happen. And sadly, Larry's pink T-Hawk will be missing.
The people on the OCR/OCAD panel at SGC are Brushfire (co-host of OverClocked After Dark and prince of the OCR TF2 server), Epicenter (co-host of OverClocked After Dark and lurker), Cyril the Wolf (OC ReMixer and project participant), and myself (not gonna toot my own horn). I'm sure a few forumers will show up there as well. As far as I know, there's really no unofficial side events we have planned. We're just going to go with the flow and nerd out.
As for what specifically will be in the presentation/panel/podcast/???, you'll have to wait and see! Are you planning on attending?
-
Now the one I'm concerned about is dod.vgmix.com, cause I know a lot of people were still all over that monthly competition. I've greatly enjoyed listening to each month's entries, and I know a lot of OCR remixers participated in those a lot.
Not only that but man, MANY OC ReMixes started as DoD entries that were either refined or just directly submitted. It's definitely cause for concern.
-
None compare to here.
I was going to post a picture of me in a speedo just to make you change your mind. But nawwwww, that'd be really wrong of me.
It's always special when someone comes here to say how much they appreciate everyone's work, and it will never get old. "You done good."
You know what OC ReMixers also really like? They LOVE reviews on their songs. Now that you're all signed up, definitely let the people who's songs move you the most know that and why. Have fun!

Thanks to one of our fans for pointing this out to us. Looks like the author of My Immortal is at it again...

Another Necrobump. I just listened to this and it kicks ass.

.....
FUUUUCK YESSSSSS. Finally some more FFT love. Great integration of the source tunes, and nice changeups. I'm loving where you're taking this. Don't stop now, I don't have any real critiques because I really like what you has so far. I just want MORE OF IT.

Welcome to our new n00bs! I just realized a disturbing trend: 9 out of 10 n00bs that actually post in this thread seem to have less than 25 posts still...and this thread goes back a LONG ways.
No excuses to be lurkers. n00bs: make us proud.

Thanks, Wes! Yeah, the extended use of the 2->1 snare/clap run was a tough call but I really love how old rock it sounds. While it may be grating, it's definitely a staple of that style. Glad it's not a dealbreaker, though!
-
Well then, that settles it! Thanks, halc, and I will do my darndest to continue being awesome. Sending this in once my three week window is up! <3 you, workshop forums, as always.

Episode 29 is released:
Episode 29 - 67 in Experience Value (With Theory of Nonexistence)
Hopefully have the new site up and ready this week before SGC. Enjoy the new episode!

Did a slight update based on Gario's comments. It's done in my mind, so I'll move this to Mod Review.
-
Meant to post this update a while ago. Whilst there are no four octave pitchbends, I think this one is definitely improved. EQ is better, there's more differentiation, and I've taken a lot of people's critiques into account.

BAM!

Nah, I don't mind it too much. Something I'll never let The Prophet live down, my solo for the Radical Dreamers track "Theives of Fate (Days of Summer)" is off by a bizarre amount of time. I guess most people wouldn't guess it, though.
Yeah, I really don't mind how you splice that in, TBH. It's your song so place it wherever you want, whatever you think sounds best.
-
Hey man, the solo guitar are actually even earlier before now than last version. Push them so the first guitar note coincides with the first beat (kick) of the following measure. Here, here is my old version with the guitars lined up how it's supposed to sound:

Hopefully that helps. Other than that, I think it sounds great.

Apparently this expires July 31st.
I saw this while looking at EWQL Silver. Ended up going with that because of the 50% off bringing it under $100, however, this is still tempting. Miroslav doesn't look half bad, but getting three of these for the price of one? I'm still intrigued.
Anyone have opinions on the offer?
PS. I realize I'm starting to become a VST whore. So sue me
Edit: SO My idea is to get one of the IK products and eventually choose Miroslav as one of the freebies. Then, if it can compensate for EWQL, I'd just resell it and hopefully make half my initial cost of the IK stuff back. For anyone else who's interested in this deal, I'll post my experiences once I get it.
-
And perhaps some liquor.....xD
Yup, you definitely deserve it. A fine way to celebrate being on top of the world: mix post + compliment from the composer would make ANY remixer happy! Nice job!
Even if it isn't pristine production, not only does the arrangement shine enough to make that a non-issue, but nearly all the instruments being live recorded really adds passion and a full "human" element to the song. Vocals and performance are both outstanding. The language is stunning.
kate the great indeed.

It is with great pride that I dedicate this new school, sports arena, or attraction.

So there's a campaign out on the net to gather people's support for porting NiGHTS: Into Dreams onto one or more current consoles for the game's 15th Anniversary. Seeing as this project is going to be released then, I highly encourage anyone and everyone to just go to the site and click the "Fans" button and register your vote.
It would be great if both OCR and Sega gave NiGHTS something for the big 15.
