Sounds like a plan, just shoot me a PM when you have the MP3 up and I'll review it for you

Flexstyle to the rescue! He sprung a remix of Arich's Boss theme from the GBA soundtrack on me out of nowhere, finishing it in just a day. It offers a nice hard-hitting counterpoint to his more chilled-out Hot Pursuit remix, with some really killer guitar work by Paul Capps, too! And that means... 20 WAVs! IT'S PREVIEW TIME! So, basically, check the first post for all the goodies, including a title banner, signatures that you can proudly (or shamefully?) display to advertise the project, a few pieces of preview art from TheMaverickk and the main course, a 14-minute preview video that myself and Cody have been slaving over for days now. All this and more can be found in the first post right now, so check it out and enjoy! Please let us know what you think, we've worked really hard to get this all ready for you guys so we'd appreciate getting some feedback, good or bad, on the project so far. Plus, I'm sure the artists would love to know if you liked their tracks, so don't shy away from voicing your opinions! Cheers!

Your email reminded me a lot of this guy's work: http://www.27bslash6.com/

... Done. At least, I think it's done. I still need to run it by a few folks to check for errors and figure out how to upload to a hosting site that can handle a 230 MB, 14 minute video (and that's rendering with crap quality!) Just wanted to let you all know that I can release the video almost immediately once the next WAV comes in. So project artists, you know what to do

Just wanted to let you know that me and Cody are still hard at work at the extended video trailer, which should be ready to post immediately (or not too long after) when the next WAV is turned in All together, the preview will contain 8 minutes of remixes and 16 songs total, plus a TON of video content that we've been hard at work recording just for the preview. I can't wait to unleash this all on you guys when the time is right It's gonna be awesome.

And Sole Signal sweeps in with a .WAV for... Treetop Tumble? Yup, some of you might be familiar with his WIP on the Workshop forums from a long time ago, but he's since polished/finished the arrangement and submitted it to the project! Yay!

I mean it as a term of endearment

Hah! Me and Cody have been slaving away all night at the preview video for Otakon, but it's done now! I'll be able to show you fools as soon as the last 2 WAVs get turned in (or, if you're attending Otakon you might get to see it earlier than that.) Tomorrow I'm really going to start plugging away at the extended preview, which should be about 8-12 minutes long if all goes as planned I think the videos so far are looking really cool, I hope you all are able to watch it soon! Also, welcome to Malcos and Diggi Dis (again!) claiming the last 2 tracks on the GBA soundtrack. WE ARE ONLY 1 TRACK AWAY FROM HAVING A COMPLETELY FULL SOUNDTRACK! Also, I made a separate section of the list for bonus remixers who are making tracks, but haven't quite demonstrated OCR-level quality. They're still quite enjoyable though, and if the tracks end up meeting OCR quality they'll be moved to the main album listing, so just so you know what's up with that small new development

That's because it's rap. It's not supposed to be ultra-melodic.

what the fuck YESS This is so great

Hahahahahahahahaha you called him halk. he's gonna kick your ass

I'm not gonna lie, I came into this thread half-expecting a very elaborate press release All jokes aside, I'm always happy to see prolific members of the community getting hitched, I wish you all the best dude

Speaking purely from a non-mod perspective, I really, really enjoyed this. It's a great background track because there's not really much going on and it's rather repetitive (which is why it might have a hard time finding its way onto OCR in its current form) but I just wanted to tell you that I really liked listening to your mix. Good work

Flexstyle got his WAV in to me (and actually delivered an almost-complete version in person when we shared lunch the other day That was pretty neat!) and it's pretty sexy I was beginning to think that source was cursed after getting WIPs from 3 separate people that never panned out into anything, but he came through on this one! Thanks a ton for the awesome track dude So, the preview is coming up quickly and I've got to start whipping up a list of songs for halc to insert into the actual preview... so, my question to you guys is, do you have any requests on songs you'd really like to hear? I can't guarantee I'll honor all of the requests, but if there's any particular songs that people want to hear, I'll consider them more seriously if I know there's public demand. So let me know what your thoughts are, and quickly!

Screw this guy. Submit this as-is, it's a surefire dp as long as you don't change anything. Exceeept maybe adding in some more diverse instruments aside from just the synths. Especially if you're going for a Chariots of Fire-esque sound, some light cinematic strings and some bright, warm piano chords to augment the soundscape would really help.

I guess you can, but all that's really being done is some VERY basic mastering and volume equalization so that all the tracks flow together without wild jumps in volume like I'm currently experiencing whenever I listen. I'd really advise you against opting out, but if you're absolutely against the idea of someone else touching your work, I'll grant you the request. Also, I'd like to formally welcome Dave Wise to the project, who will be remixing Jungle Jitter for the GBA soundtrack and playing saxophone on Monkey Kong's ending medley track. I'm very excited to have him on board, we've got something very cool lined up for the remix he's doing that will reveal itself in due time

Sweet, we're one more WAV closer to the next preview! This track comes courtesy of HoboKa, assisted by the great audio fidelity on mastering, which is a short but oh-so-sweet remix of the Boss theme that hits very, very hard! This remix was kind of a headache to coordinate with the list of artists involved constantly fluctuating, but the end result is well worth the wait! I got the preview art in today from Maverickk, and it is incredible. I really want to get these last 3 WAVs in so I can unleash it on you guys! Also, project mixer Flexstyle has stepped up to do some mastering work on the album after it's all finished to get a more consistent sound out of the project. Mastering upwards of 50-60 tracks is no picnic, but I'm really glad he's stepped up to do that, I think it should make the final product sound all the better!

Don't get me wrong, there's a market for tracks like these that are well-produced and enjoyable, but perhaps too much on the conservative side, that market just isn't OCRemix. There's still options to get your work out there (especially when the title of the mix is as funny as yours )

You HAD to go there, didn't you?

It's still a little bit below the bar, IMO. Try EQing the bass frequencies up to get more out of your piano, because I think the left hand melodies are the part of the song that's hurt the most by the sample. On the right track though, keep tinkering with it to see what you can get out of this sample I think you might be able to make it up to the bar with this.

Once the main melody kicks in, I think the supporting brass could be toned down a little bit. Overall though, this is REALLY good, it's very similar to the source material but you worked the themes in well together. Might be too conservative to submit to the OCR judges, but it's really enjoyable to listen to!! Can't wait to hear where you go with this dude
