  1. Hey all. So I was trying to edit a video together for the very first time. Unfortunately, I was an idiot and didn't plan accordingly, so the project ended up being a bust.

    One reason for that, however, was because I couldn't seem to figure out a way to maintain an audio track from one clip while inserting video from another. I was told that was a Final Cut only feature, but then I recalled all the fanmade music videos I'd seen, with music tracks being linked with video game footage and the like.

    So I imagine there must be a way to work with audio and video from different tracks in iMovie. Does anyone know what it is?

  2. I happen to agree with you about the utility of the iPad vs the iPhone, but think about what this app is meant for - performance-composition. I doubt FL Studio or any VSTs would be able to match it there.

    If pure composition is your main goal, then yes, I imagine you could do better than an app like this. In fact, you could do better than a tablet altogether for the amount they cost.

  3. It's not just picking up some people and making them judges, there's a process we have for quality control. Not as easy as you think.

    Well, I never said it was easy (maybe that "just" made it sound like I did). And I know that you have consider each person in question. But I imagine there must be more people in the community who are qualified and willing to judgify submissions.

  4. I wanna bring up Monkey Island 3 as an example to study. It had some nice audio, and the music blends from room to room (or environment to environment). Even if all you do is roam around on Plunder Island, or even just wander about in Puerto Pollo, you should be able to hear the music change whenever you enter or exit a building. Because of its age, the changes are noticeable... which perhaps just makes it an even better example since it's easier to study..

    Hey, don't forget that one of the songs is a puzzle in itself! :razz:

  5. Hey Mac heads.

    So I've been trying to use Logic a little more frequently now, as I'm doing some recording. I have an Apogee Duet that I'm trying to use as a recording input. I tell Logic to listen to that, it crashes. Even when I just try and quit Logic, it crashes. Without fail. Both Logic and my OS are the latest versions available.

    Am I the only one who has these sorts of issues, or do others have them as well?

  6. Call-outs? As in 'sixto, make a techno remix'?

    Thanks. You made me realize I had to implement some guidelines. So, now that they're there, you can see the answer is "no."

    lol if you're taking challenges, if ya'll finish up that one. I'd like some love for the new 3d Sonic games. Sure you have that one, but there's a lot more out there... though I can't remix so I can't say whether its possible. But I feel it is.

    This is a perfect example of a request, not a challenge. The only reason you wrote that is because you have a personal preference for music from those games. Challenges should not depend on personal preference. Furthermore, mixing 3D Sonic music does not provide any particular challenge.

    If you were to impose an interesting restriction, then it might become a challenge, but to be honest it would still be a long shot.

  7. Lately, it has become apparent that OCRemix will remix songs simply because a major video game company will accuse them of not having done so. Or because some random person on Youtube says they can't.

    This is a golden opportunity for us. After all, we are the community here. The lifeblood of this organization. Who are these outsiders who callously accuse OCR of its mixing capabilities (or lack thereof)? We, the community, know what OCR can do, and vice versa. Therefore, it is our duty and privilege to dare OCR to create the biggest, baddest mixes EV4R. It's how we'll keep them on their toes.

    And before you ask, yes, I'm fully aware of the "requests" forum. And shame on you for even thinking to equate this to that. These are not mere requests. These are not idle, wayward thoughts about what might make a phat sound. No. These are attacks. These are challenges (or smackdowns, or call-outs, or whatever your preferred nomenclature). When we bring the heat, we are challenging the very honor of OCR, the very spirit which has made it what it is. OCR's success or failure in meeting these challenges will say much about its responsiveness, capabilities and, ultimately, its place in gaming history. Do not abuse the notion, or this thread.

    The Rules:

    • These challenges are not to be made to individual mixers. They are put out to OCR as a whole
    • The challenge must present significant novelty for the site (a new genre, a new type of interpretation, etc)
    • All challenges must adhere to OCR's policies and guidelines
    • Challengers may only have one active challenge at a time
    • Challengers must present a good reason if they wish to withdraw a challenge prematurely

    I shall begin.

    The Challenge: Mix a track whose source has no clear melody. This is one example.

    is another.

    I look forward to the developments.

  8. 7 minutes of voice over is way too much. Pick your best lines and do 30-45 seconds worth.

    You could also stand to clean them up a little. Do a couple takes and experiment with intonation. Eliminate the mouse clicks. Maybe identify the sources (if any) and/or provide videos and screenshots from the games in question.

  9. http://www.iconsf.org/

    For some reason, it's never really occurred to me to go before, but it's not far (1.5 hours on the Long Island railroad). However, I was reminded about it early enough that I'm considering it. Compared to MAGFest or PAX East, it would actually be really easy to get to, and it might be smaller as well.

    Anyone else interested?
