Gario   Judges ⚖️

Post your top three, then post two others that you don't know (if you really don't know then you can always pick two of ours). In all honesty, the chances that one of your first three don't get picked are slim to none, so don't worry about that, DusK.

DS is pretty specific about it - nothing except the traditional robot masters from MM1-10, M&B and the PSP remake (that is, Oil Man and Time Man). Most likely it'll be a moot point since he'll have the other four robots to pick from if Fake Man is ruled out, but... yeah. I'd just pick someone else, to make things easier.

I'm talkin' vibe, bro, not technicalities.

Here's one that was floating around the WIP forum for a while, and it's not too shabby. Enjoy while you wait for the album to come out. http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22635

Successful troll is successful. Anyhow, about the site... it just seems that it's made up of young (read - freshman/sophmore college students) that don't understand what theory is about quite yet (here's a hint - it has nothing to do with composition - look up Milton Babbitt for details on that). College is full of the attitude that's rampant in there (and it seems everyone that goes to college just runs through that phase in their musical career). Instead of going all hostile on the site, read it as a study on the young mind of college composers/musicians. It's actually kind of fascinating, when you look at it that way.

I voted for you - personally I thought yours had a bit more interesting doodads in it, and I love interesting doodads.

Not to mention the (relatively) massive amount of attention people will give your track. Rather than 2-3 people critiquing it at a time in the WIP forums, it'll be 20-30 people. Not all of them critique, per se, but a good portion of them do.

No excuse - competitions are how you develop skill to rule at competitions. Join and level up your musicianship skill.

Very nice take on the source, here. The drum work is awesome, and many of the instrument choices are great. The volume is unabashedly quiet, though. If at all possible, find a way to maximize the volume without adding artifacts to the track. Some of the remix sounds pretty hollow in the soundscape. It's mostly a problem in the lower end of the spectrum (such as the low-lowermid spectrum), so you should figure out a way to fill out that area. Overall, the remix is repetitive. I don't mind conservative remixes, but an arrangement that repeats without any variation is never any good. Either change it up a little or remove the repeats. Those are my thoughts, I hope it helps you out.

Maybe not - if you can go out and find more participants you'll be able to join in no problem

we're talkin bout underratted games not underrated ocr music projects sheesh

... why does everyone want to go up against the inevitable winner of this compo? I mean I want to go up against PR, too, but only at the final stage, if ya get what I'm sayin' .

X-com. Alright, maybe calling that underrated is a bit of a stretch. X-com Apocalypse was pretty damn good, too, but many people don't like it due to the constraints it puts on you (cityscape vs worldscape, alien weaponry comes in stages rather than giving you the near top tier guns in the beginning, etc.). I'd say, if you haven't played that one yet go get a copy from Y2K games - they're selling it again, and it's awesome. I know I'm going to get some neigh saying, but I'm actually a bit excited over the new X-com being made, as well. Unfortunately, I'll probably be forced to watch it go on the shelves without a platform to play it on . Did I mention X-com?

Hey Darkesword, I know you're a judge/coordinator/album director/etc., but you should join this competition as a participant, too. I think it'd be interesting to see what you could bring to the table Also, Come on everyone! This is an awesome compo, get in on it.

Glad to hear Youtube took down the music. That's one victory... in a never ending stream of epeen plagiarism.

... dayum, man. I was going to feel bad for not being able to participate due to my absence from the internet this week, but... well, the one track that's up there did the theme so much justice I can't possibly call this compo a failure at all. Sex. Pure sex.

Woo, found this before it closed off. Let's see... damn, gotta keep it to five, and I have no clue what my preference is. Pick and chose, I suppose. Napalm Man Wind Man Magnet Man Pharaoh Man Wood Man Alrighty, let the games begin .

It looks like OCR got a couple of new moderators to help keep things moving in the WIP forum, like Level 99, so I don't think they will suffer abandonment quite yet. Also, congratulations, Halc and Nutritious.

Looks interesting. Maybe I'll contribute to it, sometime.

Daaaw, I'm not sure I'll be able to join the listening party, since I'm visiting my family out in the boonies next week. I'll try to make it for sure, though.

Mine is on a permanent 50% volume that I can't adjust (the volume bar is at 100%). It didn't use to be like that, but I hit a wrong key one day and suddenly it decided that 50% was the way to go. Already deleted my plugins and reinstalled them, uninstalled Winamp and all that jazz and yet it still does the same thing. Any suggestions, while we're on the topic of Winamp? The strangest part about it all is that it DID work at 100% volume for a couple of weeks, then it just... stopped working correctly.

Haa, the good ol' wheel. Dammit, I wish I could find my Dynamic Musical Beacon... it's like a badass version of the Chord Wheel that no one knows about, yet. Maybe I'll find something on it at home in NM next week, Stay tuned!

I think it's called the PiiWii HD. Well I suppose if I ever find the money to go to E3 then I'll find out .

... ... I will comment as soon as my brain fully accepts what you've just done. ...*drools*...
