Hey I'm interested in possibly joining this album. One thing I'm confused about though - the opening/closing themes, can they be from any source from any of that anime's games? What are the requirements for opening/closing themes?

I noticed that I can't be signed in from multiple devices. For example, if I'm logged in on my phone's browser, and I then sign in on my laptop, I'll be signed out on my phone, and vice versa.

Looks like everyone is already hooked up, do you still need me?

Started painting a month or two ago, kind of experimenting a bit. Here's something I did based off the box art for Sonic & Kunckles for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive:

No, it was all custom art. That would make sense.

I'd like to sign up as a star but I'd kind of like to see the theme first.

Interesting ... When I did mine several years ago all the songs were from other bands. I'm glad you found another company to do it.

The big thing I struggled with for a long time was mud, which is frequencies that detract from the clarity of your mix in the mid-lows. Mud typically exists between 200-500 Hz. To get rid of it, on each track of my mix, I use a parametric EQ with a narrow Q (usually I set the Q around 7 oct/db) and sweep across those frequencies with it boosted until I hear something that doesn't sound too good, and then cut that frequency. I often have to broaden the Q a bit for the cut to make it work. I do that 2-3 times on each track to clear up mud. Just don't get super aggressive with it and it will help a lot. I also do a low cut up to 175-200 Hz on pretty much every track except for the bass and the kick, and that gives a ton of breathing room for the kick and bass. Drums is another tough one, you want them to sound "phat" (which is a whole other walkthrough itself) and it helps too to understand what frequencies each drum (snare, kick, toms, etc) needs in order to sound the way it's supposed to. This guide helped me a ton: http://www.benvesco.com/blog/mixing/2008/mix-recipes-tom-eq-and-compression/ It's for toms but there's links in the first paragraph for kick and snare too. EDIT: I know we've all posted a ton of info, but honestly, it would probably best help us figure out how to help you if you could post an example of something of yours that you're not satisfied with.

discmakers.com has a great short run service where you can make as few copies as you want. I did a 2-copy thing with them once. http://www.discmakers.com/products/short-run.asp

Sorry, Shariq. I'm kind of curious about the custom avatar thing. I thought the reason we couldn't do that before was because it was hard to moderate, not because of software capability? And I know someone else mentioned this, but what happened to the "remixer" tag/remixer profile link?

hey just cuz your production chops are better doesn't mean you get to insult my poop

I dunno, poop doesn't seem very safe

I know it's not on the list, but I can I do this? It's gentle, it's one of my favorite VG tunes, and I'm actually familiar with it, unlike the other VG songs on the list. I'm sure I could think of some other VG songs from a more diverse selection of games, if you wanted, unless you're intentionally trying to keep it limited to FF games.

Yeah, this is pretty sick. Loving the custom avatar option, the "like" button (I think), and the mobile version, for sure. Will take some getting used to, but should be worth it

That's what she said. Although this milkshake here won't bring anyone to the yard.

Obviously you pulled this whole thing out of the ASS.

What is this crap. I mean, seriously. This whole thing is such an obvious affront to anyone who actually understands and appreciates music and VGM arrangements as an art form. The main problem with this supposedly "well-thought-out-and-tested" genre system is that everyone knows OCR only ever posts techno. EDIT: and don't even get me started on those damn judges who won't pass anything that's not techno-y enough...

Could I please have this picture added to my profile? https://app.box.com/s/of5kul2g6u77t8asxj7o9fo9srqod6fg and also remove the "homepage" link, the site is no longer active :/

Need some help?

Yaaaay Bev!! This ReMix is one of TD's highlights for me. I frankly love it when you foray into the jazzy side of things (see: Go Into the Light), kand this is no exception. Great piano work, as usual, just like with your little cameos tucked in and there. I suppose the production has a couple ragged edges, but nothing major, IMO - definitely up to par in my book, especially with the balance of frequencies and the EQ. As for the drum compression, I took it as a stylistic thing, and rather like it in the context. My favorite part of this song is how your use of the chord progressions keeps the whole thing building and building

Still invite only. We've got enough interested artist that we have enough claimed tracks to fill the album, along with a couple extras (and more coming, possibly) that will end up as either bonus tracks or drop-ins for dropped claims/tracks that don't finish in time.

That might be doable. I'm still narrowing down the list

Add one more to the list of people who want this

The instrumentation, arrangement, creative ideas, and production on this track ate simply top-notch. I'm sure this will become one of my favorite tracks. But what else did I expect from two of my fav remixers? On another note, don't listen to this song while you're driving, unless you want to have a heart attack.
