It says they're at capacity.
Which makes me sad. :'(
Try again!

DrewGourley gave his post a title and now I'm not so sure this thing is cool.
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude now i'm not so sure you're cool

DS EDIT: OCR's official room that we pimp out on Twitter and Facebook is http://turntable.fm/ocremix.
Ok, so Drewgourley introduced me to turntable.fm today, which is a site where you can listen to music in different "rooms". You can join an existing room or create your own, and listen to music people put on in said room, or DJ, which means you control what is played in that room. You can do this by either uploading something from your computer or choosing from turntables extensive library of music.
Now, Drewgourley made an OC Remix room here: http://turntable.fm/overclocked_remix.
How to join: if you have a facebook account, and are friends with someone on facebook who uses turntable.fm - in this case, me, Brandon Strader and Drew Gourley, you can join the site, no sign up required. If anyone wants to join up who isn't a friend of either of us, just add me as a friend on facebook, which is linked from my profile, I'll add you.
We've been messing around with it, and we could use this site to help put ocrs musics out there for more people to hear. So come along, DJ, promote yours and others OC Remix music, and kick some ass.
One last thing - its better not to use Safari 3, I tried it and got no sound from the site on that browser, Firefox was a-ok tho.
See you there! WillRock.

For the record my fine saucy young trollops, I think I must utter this most important phrase... ahem... PROTO MUST DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
That is all. Cheerio chums.

Normalizing a music collection? This is about the worst thing I've ever heard on these forums
And thats why you should GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK.
seriously tho, this is a good question. I tend to use itunes (sound check feature) but that really sucks, I wouldn't recommend it, all it does is quieten everything and stuff still isn't at the same volume
If anyone knows of anything better, i'm listening also -
happy birthday you crazy mofo

do we have to 'vote' in the unchallenged categories as well?
I wouldn't have thought so because they win regardless, so voting is pointless. Darke just forgot to say in the unchallenged threads that voting is closed most likely.
-
Might it be an idea not to post "predictions"? Seems to me all thats going to do is cause heated debate but I guess its up to darke. Personally, i'd just wait and see how things pan out.
-
I find it kind of funny and sad that whenever someone sees a bad song on the internet they have to make a post and tell everyone about it. Good songs don't even get the same kind of exposure anymore. Something is very very wrong here.
-
can't we all just be friends
Hell No. I SAY DEATH TO ALL OTHER COMPO REMIXERS.
-
lol retracting your previous statement?
or he's a fan of nirvana
-
Txai won the GMRB and he doesn't have a posted mix. Anyone can win this compo, posted or not.
-
oh for the record, I will have a finished remix handed in by tomorrow at 4GMT darke so you'll have at least 2 mixes...
-
Its the quiet before the storm
-
I think he gets a judge to come in. He did that before, iirc.
I don't recall...
-
Since Darke always put in his vote last in the previous competitions, I imagine he would act as tiebreaker. Unless Darke's is the vote that ties it. Dunno what would happen then.
Next vote is the decider?
-
Must've been updated while I was away. It can still swing, but it's not as likely. Ah, I don't mind - due to someone reminding me in this thread I finished another completely unrelated song and submit it, so perhaps I'll still get something from this compo
when its this close gario, anything can happen. Don't count yourself out yet

0:42-1:42 is all Spring Man. 3:22-4:18 is predominantly Spring Man with a little Solar Man overlaid in a "remix." About two minutes of a four minute song would be 50-50 if my math is correct.
Yes, prophetik's mix certainly could have used a bit more polish, but I don't find it hard to listen to by any measure. The polish was subpar enough, though, that many people wrote it off immediately. The song wasn't one of his best, but the arrangement of it was excellent. The song would have garnered many more votes if it had the same level of polish that Draconiator's did.
This. Pretty much sums up what I reckon happened here. From what you said, Prophetik, those guitars aren't midi, but I must confess, I thought they WERE
Fail on my part if not, but at the same time, gotta work on your guitar tone imo... something I didn't put in the vote
-
@orlouge - i agree, i think people went for the shiny and overlooked what was underneath. but that always happens in compos
One thing I think I should mention is that in the final of the GMRB, I went up against txai, who despite having worse production than me by a considerable amount beat me. I wouldn't say that people go with the more polished tracks generally, since I managed to get the third round of the original GRMRB despite having worse production than all my opponents in that compo

i am surprised that our battle is as close as it is. i don't want to sound mean - i like his track a lot! but when most of the actual posted remixers - gario, abadoss, willrock, etc - vote for mine, and a bunch of lurkers vote for his, that says something to me. it says that the people who think it sounds cool but might not know the source the best voted one way, and the people who understand the music and can hear the extra stuff that was added in with mine voted the other way. i don't feel that his uses the spring man theme much at all, and it seems that most people didn't bother to listen to the original source. all the parts that are mentioned as being awesome are just stuff that's inherent to the solar man track, which is bloody awesome. he didn't really add anything to it besides a drumloop and different instrumentation.
that's not really a remix at that point, unfortunately =/ draconiator, you're clearly a skilled musician - mastering that particular style is something i have next to no skill in - but your focus was clearly on your track and on production instead of the arrangement itself. if you beat me - which you might, there are a lot of people voting for mastering and OST awesomeness instead of arrangement like they should - you really need to work on getting the arrangement to actually be a reinterpretation of the theme instead of just dumping the midi into a synth and boom-tissing the rest of it. you also need to work in the other track more, since you basically ignored it. i know spring man sucks, but that's the point. it's supposed to be hard
you can't get better if you only remix schala and terra. you've gotta do catfish's maw and spring man and all the other crappy tracks out there. that's why i never take a project mix until all that's left is the junk. it forces you to work with less, and you learn more at a faster pace that way.i realized after writing this that this sounds abjectly harsh, and i don't mean it to be. drac's song sounds great as a remix of solar man. i don't think it stands up as a 50/50 split of both themes, though, simply because it's nowhere near 50/50.
and yes, i'd be happy to do a remix with you =)
Prophetik, your a cool guy and I respect you as a musician, but you're right, you do sound pretty harsh
Just let things run their course and leave well enough alone, it looks more like you're just trying to get more votes because you feel your arrangement is better :/Also, Rozo and Sir_NutS voted for Draconiator, they aren't lurkers and are posted remixers. It probably isn't my place to say this but you basically said everyone who votes against you is wrong and that draconiators mix isn't even a remix at one point. If I was him I would be offended at your post. Its probably not my place to say this and I apologise for making this rather accusatory post, but I feel this needs to be said.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I do understand what your point is, I just think the way you've put it across is kinda unfair on draconiator.

I don't know who has the advantage in our battle....It keeps shifting and I've stopped keeping track, lol
You're currently two ahead from what I can count, but its been shifting from one lead to another... its a CLOSE one
-
Yeah I submitted what I did have to Darkesword, so I'm still in. I'm warning everyone now, it is rough. Unfortunately I couldn't devote more time as I didn't realize this week is inventory prep week at work.
Somehow any victory will be hollow... It's like winning a marathon, crippled, just because the other runner is dead... Oh well, a win is a win. Hopefully if I get a second chance I actually have time to devote too it. :\
eh, halc submitted a 30 second wip for the first GRMRB in the first round. I don't think its a big issue if the other person doesn't submit a full song either, or anything at all for that matter.

From what I can gather from darkes post, OCRE is only dealing with voting tallies, Darke said he would upload the tracks when he got home so I'd say you get the extra time. Besides, he usually gives people benefit of the doubt with getting tracks in, assuming he knows they are working being worked on.
