Enjoy everyone. And of course, Merry Christmas!
Edit: Looks like Dyne got the official website updated, so I've changed the link. Thanks Dyne

I give consent - monetize my remixes. Do it.
I'm with you with regards to YT's sudden monetization of everything all at once... seems sketch.
Either way - I feel like a ReMix is a donation and you can do as you like with it. So engage the muns.

I for one have one arrangement fully done aside from some mixing
One just needs to have me record more guitars to and then sing over. 

I put this album on my chicken saute.
It didn't affect the flavor but it sure sounded good.

In a world where Mega Man 7's intro theme and Big Blue are combined - Mega Man kicks Captain Falcon's ass and joins the F-Zero Grand Prix... Lyrical idea given by @OceansAndrew over on Twitter when I was agonizing over it. 
I've been screwing with this for awhile, any comments on the mix before I submit it to the hallowed halls of OverClocked ReMix I'm always down for FEEDBACK!

Lyrics: 
High speed racing
Burned in his blood
But now
It's in my circuits 
I feel  the need for speed
I push on the throttle
Rock it like a shuttle
Roll into first place
I will never lose a race
Pun ch through the sky, like a falcon above
It mirrors the endless sea below me
Kick through the pack
Come up from the back
I don't think I'll be the same
Adrenaline flowing'
Or at least I assume so
Show  me your moves 
So I can show you mine
And 
Keep you in second place
I'll  take the first with grace  
You might get small taste 
In this battle and chase!
I received this power by winning a fight
So I may as well put it to good use!
Punch through the sky, like a falcon above
It mirrors the endless sea below me
Kick through the pack
Come up from the back
I don't think I'll be the same
I received this power by winning a fight
So I may as well put it to good use!

Gonna retool some things for Azure Skies of course. Maybe jump on a couple that I definitely have wanted to do for ages, but we'll see how the next few weeks go.

I have confidence in @The Coop . I'm glad he's been along for this ride for 9 years. It's been a blast! 

I shall rule with a bloodied, tinsel-covered iron fist over all things Christmasy
 
I've enjoyed doing the covers for this project over the last nine years, as well as making a remix for each of the ten albums. When Dyne needed someone else to step in to his producer role about three years ago, I was happy to do it so that the project could continue. And when he said he was ready to step down with the conclusion of AOCC v10, I'd already been helping to run AOCC for nearly three years and saw no reason to not volunteer to help keep it going into its second decade. I'd gotten familiar with how to handle things, Dyne and I have the same overall concept and vision for it, so, it seemed like the right thing to do.
With all of that said, I'd like to thank Dyne for letting me take on the art side of things early on, and now, for entrusting his project to me. I'll do my best to not let you folks down.
Keep an eye out in July, good people of OCR!

Thanks for all the feedback - finally submitted it. See you all in a year?

YOO.
First thing I will say - your vocals aren't tooo bad. I can hear where you're sorta only half hitting notes on occasion. You also have a tenancy to scoop into notes but it doesn't sound like you're doing it entirely on purpose. The biggest tip I always got was "come at notes from above" so you're more likely to pronounce the note right on pitch.
You should sing more of this song like you did that last verse, it was more convicted and even. Also, careful of the fluttery vibrato, it can work sometimes but I'm not particularly a fan of it in most contexts and if it wasn't present it would give your approach a bit more honesty I feel. You pronounce words very deliberately which I think works for this style. 
The instrumental is cool, the vocals sort of take over the cool backing stuff you have going on that would help break it up a bit. The bass could also be playing lower notes imo at certain parts so that it has some punch in the low end. That may be me talking as someone who loves a good low end hanging around though. 

Hope that helps!

Welcome to OCR.
My only comment really is that the lead guitar is a LITTLE biting imo. You can probably round it out by cutting around 8k just a touch. That's probably more of my personal preference for warmer sounds than anything else, but since the lead guitar is so present and loud in general I don't think it would affect the overall mix other than making the lead a little less abrasive. I know you were going for that Ska-ish lead tone but I guess I'm used to those being recorded on tape so are naturally a little warmer haha.
God if for some reason you could get some live horns on this that would probably make my life, otherwise... yea great arrangment, great mix overall.  Working with what you have, and you madei t sound great.

Hi Everyone. 
 Above is the link to my newest video game cover/remix thing. Obviously SEO optimized for Youtube. Been working on a lot of things mostly to improve my process - but it's been worth it since I feel like I can actually do stuff like this without having to reinvent my process over and over again... 

I'm always looking for feedback - Just because it's on YouTube doesn't mean that I can't tweak to submit later - and I wanted to post it here because I can't for the life of me think of a title. While not having a unique title is great for getting clicks on the youtubes - not so much for OCR consideration. The source link is below, my concern here is if it's interpretive enough. I definitely change things around a lot and have an original section in there. I just know I've gotten feedback before on being to conservative and I really take that to heart.

Hey guys
I dunno if you knew this yet or not, but I sold a trilogy of sci-fi books to Simon and Schuster last year, and the first one is coming out next month. To promote the book, we're combining my voice acting with my writing to start a cool contest that we're calling "Voiceover Mad Libs." Anyone can enter, regardless of whether or not they pre-order the book (though that would be awesome). You can find all the details here:
https://joezieja.com/2016/05/03/mechanical-failure-contest-voiceover-mad-libs/
Basically, you get to fill in the blanks of a commercial or a trailer script, and I will record and produce it, then upload it to SoundCloud. At the end of the 2 week contest period, we pick the funniest and you get prizes. 
Come have fun! 

I giggled.
