so um
 
I made a silly mistake and made my mix with last week's gauntlet theme instead of the current one   
 
thankfully Blind encouraged me to try to fix it and I was able to swap out the melodies quite easily. 
 
praise God for good teammates  I'll be subbing shortly.

I believe the term you're looking for is "speedcore"

I recently read an article on how on of the Beatles' producers added some distortion to Ringo's drums, it's definitely a good effect to use (tastefully) on any kind of drums.
I personally have started using CamelAudio's CamelCrusher plugin on just about everything, especially drums. It's a compressor with distortion effects built in that can be used subtly (or not, according to taste). It used to be a free download but the company shut down, if you want a copy I can provide you with one.

It appears that the theme for this new group of tracks is Chiptune & Rock
 
Here's some reviews for the round 1 entires:
 
Yami: cool groove, nice instrument choices, and the production's pretty clean
Eino Keskitalo: Love this! Wish I could discern the lyrics a bit better, but the production overall is pretty clean and the sequencing & arrangement rocks (pun intended)!
Esperado: Although you have some cool sounds going on here, the mix needs to be better balanced, and your leads & pads need some EQ & compression to help accomplish that. The track also feels a bit empty and could use some more excitement/movement going on.
Jason Covenant: wut this is pretty cool, but I feel like the mix (especially the vocals) has some piercing highs going on that need to be controlled. Otherwise a great arrangement.
SuperiorX: Smooth as hell, like always
Yoshiblade: Cool grooviness and neat synth work, as I would expect from you. Only complaint is that the kick could be more present, probably could use some compression and more "click" and maybe some "whack" in the eq (see this page for help: http://www.benvesco.com/blog/mixing/2007/mix-recipes-kick-drum-eq-and-compression/).Also when you do the eq sweeps near the end the track volume needs to be more consistent. (The master on this sounds pretty decent, who'd you learn that from? )
Sir_NutS: daaaaang, this is tight. Glitch hop FTW (although I thought you were exclusive to spacey dream trance? ) No complaints here.
Trism: I'm impressed with your growth with your production, man. Groove is pretty cool here and I like your drum groove & and synth work. Sounds like some elements could use some more compression, though.
Ivan Hakstok: Great rock track, as usual. Things sound a bit muddy and uncompressed to me though.
pu_freak: Some really cool stuff going on here but needs better production.
 
I don't mind discussing my thoughts or giving further explanation to my reviews, so feel free to ask!

Sure.
 
Verse:
 
The night passes into memory
I drift from my bed
Animated by my longing
For my beerloved
How I waited so long for you
Now I need you near
I'll press you to my lips and drink
You're my favorite beer
 
Chorus:
 
Female:
 
Beerly,
Beerloved,
My beerly
Beerloved
 
Male:
 
My one true brew
I'll be with you
I'll drink anew
And I'll find you.
 
I wrote more, but didn't get a chance to record. Oh well.

I'd love to jump on the Altin Flood source.
 
Also, here's a great GS wiki that has every single song listed along with where it plays in both games!:

And Beth, I'd love to be a part of your chorus for your track, if you're still doing that.

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?

Hey guys. We're trying something new tonight. Me, Larry, Stevo, and Andrew (and possibly some other OCR staffers) are going to do a live OCR Hangout on Air tonight. It'll be a short little show and we'll be taking questions. You can tune in on OCR's YouTube channel.
Updates
Thanks everyone for tuning in to our first ever Talkback and sending in questions. We're going to try to do an episode every Saturday night with a rotating cast. Because we're using Hangouts on Air, all of the episodes will be immediately available on YouTube as soon as they finish, and will be linked below, so if you missed it because you actually have a social life on Friday nights, you can always check out the episode later!
Are YOU an OC ReMixer?
Nicole Adams asked whether ReMixers can appear on the show. Hell YES! If you wanna come onto the show and talk about what you're working on, games, music, pop culture, and take questions from fans, we definitely want you on! Just post in the thread that you wanna appear on the show, let us know if you have Saturday night 9PM Eastern free (subject to change) and we'll invite you on to be a part!
Episodes

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.
