PS, I love you Gario (no homo), but maybe some rules are meant to be broken, no? did some major edits, if you guys came in earlier. I tried to be more coherent. Sorry about triple posting, but please, just bear with me.

So I might be gone from this website (against my will), depending on what the mods think of my 'behavior' such as it is. Couldn't seem to articulate properly exactly how I wanted to say it, but I didn't like how someone's track was judged and found it particularly wrong. If you haven't guessed already, I'm not a 100% fan of OCR's M.O. Tried to keep it under wraps and pretend it didn't affect me, but I'm not feeling well at all. Hopefully they'll at least let me hand the reigns over to someone else, rather than delete the entire history of Meat 'n Potatoes, depending on how vengeful the mods are feeling. Sorry to bring politics into here. I'm not feeling well at all. I'm not feeling well at all.

So key things we'd like to have addressed Make the panel faster. (Heck maybe I'll try my hand at judge ) Scrutinize "Yes" votes a bit more thoroughly. AKA: Make judge queue progress panel more visible and transparent (Jorito added) There are indeed some valid criticisms toward OCR that don't necessarily stem from whiny-bitch, bitter rejects. mew hew Encourage people to have nice write-ups about their intentions and choices for their track and have the judges read and consider said write-ups; instead of ignoring them and casting them as garnish (not saying you guys DO that, but just as a caveat). Re-evaluate the bar and see if some areas can be slackened ever so slightly. Baby steps Reconsider putting links to the panel decision-page-thing in the event of a NO. Anything else I missed? (my ill-advised rant a few days back) (did some edits to sound less cave-man crazy) I risk whatever small reputation I have here, but I've got an admittedly emotionally driven protest to make. The language is crass and I apologize ahead of time for that, but I'm legit upset here. I still want to take part at OCR's community, and I'm very much aware of what this could cost me, but I feel this needs to be addressed. Y'know what, I barely detected any issues here. I don't have the *best* recording equipment but I think that "Eerie Forests" deserves a more lenient second pass. This is brilliant work!!. I decided to edit out the wording that resided in this very spot, because it was frankly, stupid. Sorry for over9000 edits, I'm not in a good state, but I know that my heart is in the right place. Please read thoroughly. "Eerie Forests" is a brilliant track!! Way to hive-mind it and say that it's "Too repetitive", as if that were some real deal-breaker. That only applies when the stuff that's being repeated sucks. But this doesn't suck. I'm sorry OCR, but I resent your decision to NO this. This turdy decision comes off as way too cliquey and hive-mind-ish for me. I've let a lot of bullshit pass, but I gotta stand my ground here. Anyone else care to join the discussion? EDIT2 + stuff (fuck I hate it when I can't articulate my words properly, it's the curse of ADHD and anxiety....) The judging system, in general, I think is just a little counter productive (not having a lot of new faces hurts), and throwing newbies into the NO-woodchipper is just plain evil man. And entirely defeats the purpose of being an open community - or at least a community what has one door shut the entire time on what would otherwise be a double-fucking-door-of-inclusiveness. God, I sound like a fucking SJW here, but have some sense, all ye hard-liners of OCR. Loosen the requirements a little, be more friendly to the new people. It won't hurt the website! Like, I'm not saying go ahead and say YES to (most) of my shit, that stuff's rushed and brick-wall-sounding half the time, but c'moooon. Slacken the rules a bit. God!! Okay, RANTING done. I love y'all. Peace out.

I disliked the Judge panel decision and made a post in the site feedback. This probably wasn't the proper place to shove said post. So edited it out here.

Oh thank god. Cool alias btw, love the artwork too!

Kat, just to be safe, is Tesonael on SoundCloud another profile of yours'? If not, someone is jacking your stuff and posing as you :0

Welcome to the Voting Stage! There are 2 entries this round. There is 1 Bonus entries this round There is NOT a voter bonus this round, due to only 2 eligible entries. hoboKa and Silverpool have a vote worth 2x Don't vote for Bonus entries please Participants may not vote for themselves Vote ends Nov 2nd Thursday @ 11 PM Comments: Really wish I could've made a BONUS. But well, you know how it is. I do have future plans for Parasite Eve Kyrie and I have connections with someone who has an extremely good vocalist synth library. I just have to get my shit into gear and get the arrangement side done. Thanks for coming down and participating shid0 and Kat, it's been a while!! : 3 EDIT) Just realized I had put my foot in my mouth and broke a compo rule. Apologies. Got too excited is all..

Riiight. So my internet died for a day. On top of that, I've been in a weird state of limbo this week, so I couldn't get anything constructive done. Gotta love the depression, literally takes your legs right under you. But enough of my sob story. Time to get the voting stage going.

Sounds like that tactic would benefit you more there Silverpool. I just mess around and experiment till i get something that sounds good, but it's in no means an effective way to do it. It's better to learn sheet music in general and arrange my ear. I'm too lazy for that though

I need to start working on mine T_T

https://i.giphy.com/media/4c6ZBsl1JYUNO/giphy.mp4 got no idea how to make that into something visual. Tried inserting media and all that jazz. Poopsicles.

It was an unknown remixer's. Dare I say, it was better than most shit found at OCR. <insert a Duke d'hardcore shrill laugh> ....AKA it was a mediocre cover track. Can't remember though, I was fairly high and tired at the time when I was browsing teh inter-webs. Danniel Lippert found a .gif for me, let's see what yous' scrubs have got eh?

Someone find/create a GIF for this awesome YT comment. DO IT NAOW!! Richter: Die monster, you don't belong in this rave Drac: it was not by my hand i was once again given moves. i was called here by RAVERS who wish to pay me tribute. Richter: Tribute? You steal mens' beats and make them your own! Drac: Perhaps the same can be said for all music artists Richter: Your words are empty as your club! Mankind ill needs a raver such as you! Drac: What is a man?! A miserable pile of secrets! But enough talk, DANCE AT YOU!

Got Silverpool's source pick Edit) sorry for the typo Silver

Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes) Round 82: Parasite Eve "Kyrie + Luigi's Mansion "Main Theme" Midi 1: http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/MnP82_Kyrie.mid Midi 2: http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/MnP82_luigismansion.mid Youtube: Deadline: October 31st Tues @ 1PM Vote Ends: November 2nd Thurs @ 11PM Submit your remix Here when completed. MnP ARCHIVE - made by Trism MISSION STATEMENT The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required. MnP Instructions/Guidelines Covers and Sound Upgrades are permitted. Most or all of the source notes must be present (but not necessarily in the exact same order), secondly the mood (energy, pacing, feelings being conveyed etc) should also be retained. For example, a source tune that is fast-paced and energetic that's remixed into a mellow/chill-out theme would be a hard sell. If you decide to do a genre swap (i.e. symphonic to techno), make sure that the conditions of #2 are met. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max). Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry. Please don't make any comments about people's entries - including your own - until the Voting process is concluded. BONUS entries are exempt of this rule. All competitors and voters must adhere to the rules stated within: Competition Code and Conduct MISC/TIPS - When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make ppl's lives easier. - In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

Results Silverpool and HoboKa tied with 10 points. OF COURSE Silverpool PM me for the round 82 entry! Pick something Howlowe'en-y Silverpool. It's still Howlowe'en month Comments Since me and Silverpool tied, it means we both get to pick a sourcetune. This will be fun!

Welcome to the Voting Stage! There are 2 entries this round. There is 1 Bonus entries this round There is NOT a voter bonus this round, due to only 2 eligible entries. Dex has a vote worth 2x Don't vote for Bonus entries please Participants may not vote for themselves Vote ends Oct 19 Thurs @ 11PM Comments: Bit of a slow round, but we do have 3 tracks, even if only 2 of them can be voted upon. The +3 voter bonus isn't applicable this round for obvious reasons, since it would just be me and Silverpool trading points lmao (Kind of the catch22 for me when I participate in MnP...). Anyhow, I will submit comments in a mock vote - @ Silverpool: though I shant discourage you from submitting your own mock vote. And since my vote is awash, I would ask that people who didn't participate, especially the last round winner to submit their own votes. ..sorry for all the edits.

Better hurry up

Sorry about that, extending now. Round extended until 11:59 PM today. But I will not extend to 18th. Fuck it I'm making it midnight.

I found the EQ work with the percussion and some of the instruments real frustrating and sort of gave up on it. I need better EQ software - I'm using BlueCats and FL Parametric EQ 2, guess it isn't enough. EDIT) I didn't notice too much EQ issues at all. Heavy metal isn't exactly the easiest genre to get perfect imo. EDIT2) Not that I make too much in the way of metal, but I did notice other OCR people frustrated with it back in the heyday.

Awesome bonus entry. Inspired me to work on my own a bit more. Nice work Dex

Anyone else got anything in the works?? I will extend this round to only the 17th, because I'd like to get round 82 rolling and fit the timetable for 2x Howlow'en back-to-back stuff. Sorry if this comes off as Draconian. Also, is your BONUS ready to be sub'd Dex? If not, make sure to put it in before 1PM 17th TUES. Thanks!!!

Theory lessons is always a good idea. Stop self sabotaging yourself Esperadooooo T_T. Never did attend magfest. And yes the newbie circle is where its at

Yes, at one point I was the bane of OCR, now I am it's savior!!! Muahahahaha. All stupidness aside, we look forward to seeing you return Shid0. Hopefully I don't mean this in the "Royal We" sense. That would be creepy.
