Sorry if these are obvious questions, but this is the first time I've come across this competition. Firstly, can we use samples (wavs) provided in the "packs" folder of FL Studio (and anything else in this folder)? Also, do we choose one source from the game to remix? Or do we have to incorporate every source tune in the game into our mix? Again, sorry if I'm asking obvious questions.

I'll be posting my mix later today.

Congrats Mustin, Sephire, Tweek and Reuben Kee. Also well done everyone else who entered. I didn't expect to win, but it was fun mixing.

I'd like to think I can enter. Although it will depend on sixth form committments and all that jazz.

I forgot to vote, but congrats Sir nuts and eveyone else. It was a good round, despite the few entrants.

Great stuff V. Loved it.

Fantastic arrangement Prophet. Did you play all of the sax parts yourself? After listening to your entry, I wish I'd have thought more seriously about recording live Trombone parts for my entry. The samples aren't terrible though. What's the name of the reverb you used by the way? It sounds great. Good luck everyone.

High F#s are a nightmare to play in tune.

Rexy, I'm so sorry. I got confused with the new times. My mix has been ready for a couple of days and I logged on now to post it, only to find that the voting stage has started. I spent a long time on it, but if there's no way of adding my mix to the competition I'll just submit it as a bonus mix. Even if this doesn't make it into the competition, I'd still appreciate feedback from everyone. It's the longest and probably best overall remix I've ever done so I'll be kicking myself if it's definately too late to enter. Anyway, here's the link to the entry - either official or bonus: http://www.martin2k.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=657

It's pretty cool to know that there are a few Trombonists on OCR. I have been playing for 7 to 8 years. I'm in quite a few ensembles - wind band, orchestra, big band and various school bands (the 3 bands mentioned are part of my local music centre - or "academy of music and dance" as it's more corretly known as. I have never played in a marching band, but it seems like there are marching bands all over the place in the USA. You even have competitions, don't you? I have, however, played Fanfare Trumpet (not the standard one, but a bigger one with an embouchure very similar to the trombone (and a mouthpiece virtually the same size). I have been part of a Fanfare team on three occasions - first playing with a wind band, second with an orchestra and most recently (at a christmas concert a couple of weeks ago, in fact) with just the team on its own. Also, on the subject of intonation, I know how sensitive it is on the tenor trombone. Over the years, I've come to discover that there are in actual fact a heck of a lot more than 7 positions on the trombone.

My entry has gone from a chilled out, ambient piece to some sort of avant-garde progressive piece. Hmm. I claim last place.

I play Tenor, grade 8. I'm just curious, as I've started a Trombone quartet remix of a game tune (influenced heavily by Joseph Alessi). I'd love to show a preview to whoever is interested. Over here in England, Trombonists are fairly rare in some parts of the country. What's it like in America? Also, do you have a grading system? Because my grades are ABRSM and I'm sure it's different in other parts of the world.

It would be the first bombing run - as in the mission you're thrown into at the start of the game.

I feel slightly out of place in this topic; a newb remixer surrounded by the big names all going for the competition. I think I'll be working on an entry. Although I have no clue what style I'll be going for. Also, not that it matters, but I'd be entering because I love the game - I have a lot of childhood memories of it. So prizes don't come in to it.

Thanks Rexy, I might give it a go sometime.

Fantastic show Pixie and Zircon! I was wondering, your voicemail... is that only available for US callers? Because I'm over in the UK and in the time I've been listening to your show, I have no recollection of any Brits, Ozzies etc leaving a message.

Hey there, just looking in as a listener of this fantastic podcast! I have voted on podcast alley, I swear! No but, really , I have, honestly.
