  1. It's wierd, but I was able to get a majority of my downloads from the Aplus server - - minus two.

    Yeah, aplus never works for me, either. What's up with that?

    I heard something involving DJPs credit card in some other thread. Or I could be making things up, you'd NEVER KNOW.

    Yeah, he did mention something about his credit card... But it still doesn't explain why so many of you can't use it, and I can... with relative ease, mind you.

  2. in Glover's case it's because the sound quality for the N64 version is horrible (assuming you've played both versions), and in OCR's case it's because there's rules against making mixes too much like the original. therefore the listener probably won't like the differences as much. take for example Haunted Chase from DKC2, the original is dated but an enhancement is much better.

    Exactly. The enhancement is better, but you don't get that all the time. If anything, I would say just add on to what you know and practice. No other person can read your thoughts and if they could, they damn sure wouldn't be sitting on the internet.

    And yes, I have been subjected to both versions of Glover. My youngest cousin loves that game to death. I should've bought him Contra: Legacy of War instead...

  3. Hmm, if you own the CD you can rip them through itunes.

    If you have the MP3s you can add them to Itune's library.

    Seriously, I don't see what's your problem, all my OCR mp3s are on my Ipod, and I have yet to give apple any money.

    But my thing is, the mp3's aren't registered on the iTunes library at all! I've been sitting here fumbling with not only itunes but this process itself. I mean if there is something that I'm doing wrong, please, feel free. Just don't bust my chops about something that I have problems with and trying to seek advice on.

  4. I am sure every aspiring musician on this website is happy about that.

    Seriously, fuck you, you want to get paid for your work? Then pay for other people's work.

    Itune is FREE, the services are FREE, and the downloading is reasonably priced SO THAT THE MUSICIANS WHO MAKE THE MUSIC GET WHAT THEY DESERVE.

    Seriously, screw you, leave OCR if you cannot respect musicians.

    Oh, so you're expecting me to buy songs online to which I already have the songs that I want to listen to from each album? You're kidding, right?

  5. I remember the 2nd level from PS1 game. the piccolo in in that song sounded really good, but the same part in the N64 version was TERRIBLE, like most of the songs from the N64 version.

    Edit: i added to the list at the beginning of the thread. one game in the list that really should be remixed is Vindicators. the only song on that game that's worth remixing is this techno song that plays on one level (none of the music was named). it's the only song on the game good enough to get someone's attention.

    Mario Kart 64. There are people on this site that have remixed it many times over. Catchy tunes, many more pleasant ones, and then you have games that will probably be in the furthest parts of the human mind - - like Quest 64.

    Although I have made little sense, what I'm trying to say is some ports from one system to another, the original may sound crisp to the systems capabilities while the newer port will most likely sound like warbled shit. I don't think there is a reason for this, but it usually happens when they try to use the same music for two different sound formats.

    If you want a prime example, find someone with an SNES emulator and one SEGA Genesis emulator. try to find two separate copies of "Maximum Carnage". Not "Separation Anxiety", the first one for both systems.

    Don't play it to be serious, you'll frustrate the fuck out of yourself. Instead, listen to the highs and lows of the pitch in both versions. The SNES version of M.C. sounds fuckin' awesome while the Genesis version sounds like it was horribly dubbed. So there are some ports that'll make you go "Huh?" but it's all in how you take it. Who knows, you can actually pick apart the core tune of the horrible version and probably remix it.

  6. itunes is free though and idk if there's any other way to transfer songs from your hd to your ipod

    Yes, the program itself is free, but never the services. Pirates shalt not pay for shit that they can get for free. :<

  7. Ask Angelic as he couldn't start it up normally, though I think it's a gimping thing about Ipods, needing itunes program (confirm/deny?)

    Heck where was that thread that talked about the RockBox? I know it had the guy with itunes issues...

    In any case I got lots treasures to share in other threads when they pop up...

    Yeah, I just dragged and dropped it onto the iPod and it's saying that nothing's on it... I'm not paying for music and Fuck iTunes. The last CD that I'm buying is my own copy of Parasite Eve OST.

    Oh and Schwaltz, I'm getting things under way as we speak... thanx.

  8. but is the music better?

    Still has the same progression scales, but the second stage has the best intro. Like the first 24 seconds has your attention...

    ...then boredom. A remix of that particular track couldn't hurt, I guess. But everyone has their separate opinion - - I'd say that you should pick it up and see for yourself... If you can find the game, that is.

  9. Holy crap! they have it! do you know a winamp plugin that plays it's file type?

    i recently found out there was a glover 2

    Plugins? There are far too many. There should be one in reference to a Castlevania Chronicles/Final Doom if you google it. It's the same shit, since I had it before my comp choked.

    Edit: And Glover 2 was just as random as the first. No, I lie. More randomness.

  10. A friend of mine recently sent me an iPod for a gift yesterday. Lazer-engraved, colored sleeve, the whole nine yards. All that I want to do is load up some OC's on it and a large quantity of my import music.

    Problem is, I have music on the damned thing, but it won't load it up. No, I don't have iTunes nor do I even want to bother with it seeing to it that a majority of what I listen to isn't even on iTunes, anyway.

    Some assistance, please.

  11. the music for world 3 is the best one in New Rally X Arrangement. the only boring ones are world 2 & 5. if only there were somewhere to download the soundtrack to New Rally-X Arrangement & Glover

    Zophar wouldn't have it, eh?

  12. Galaga shouldn't be remixed as much as Glover, DKC3, and New Rally-X should, but there's more music than just the start theme

    You mean the typical 3 minute techno remix of just the Galaga theme? Yeah, I understand you on that one. New Rally-X would be interesting to hear, but won't it sound a bit... midi-ish?

  13. I was at Chelsea Piers in February of 05 and this dude had the OCR logo on his skateboard deck. He told me that it was a self-made custom job since all of the people that he knew had the artistic knowledge of preschool children.

    Ironically enough, we both were listening to Beamsabre Beat ZeroV2. We chilled for that week, but had to go to the military a few months later. Haven't seen him since.
