Hello OCRemix! Now, I've noticed that there have been many Megaman remixes over the years on OCRemix, but I have never seen a Megaman X5 remix done (perhaps I'm not looking hard enough). As such, I would like to propose 2 songs for remixing. They're quite well known to any Megaman X fan, but bringing back good memories never hurts! Song: Sigma Stage 1 (and 3) Theme Source: Song: Sigma Stage 2 Theme Source: Now..as for the remix genre, I didn't mention one for either track simply because I think that a remix of these songs would work best as a dual remix, combining both stage 1 with stage 2. I imagine something along the lines of orchestra/piano/techno for the portion that involves Stage 1, beginning lightly with piano and orchestra, slowly building up the orchestral effects and incorporating techno as it merges into the Stage 2 theme. During the stage 2 theme section section, I imagine the techno merging with some rock and heavy guitar work, perhaps dropping the orchestra and piano (unless it works well). And to honor the third Sigma stage, the song can fade out to the Stage 1 theme while maintaining the rock/guitar/techno scheme. After a couple years of practice, I actually intend on giving this a shot myself. Thanks OCRemix for hearing out my request! ~Duo

The brain may only weigh 3 pounds, but without it an entire human body could not function! In other words, the remix would not have had the same life that it does without your contribution to it, Dhsu. I simply LOVE a crossing of instruments and styles. The piano really set me up to be amazed when the guitar came crashing into the scene. As for the guitar part of it, well, let's just say AWESOME and keep on listening! Uber props to this mix.

I like this mix. It may not have the Shariq polishing, but it definitely has the Shariq core. I think that the amazing thing about Darkesword's mixing style is that he can turn any song into an enjoyable memory. Heat Vision doesn't lose that sparkle for me. It does sound a little more incomplete than the rest of his mixes, but the "feel" I get from his remixes was still there. Keep 'em coming Darkesword!

Awesome stuff. I really love this remix and would probably label it as one of the pretzel man's best. Segments such as 2:07 to 2:36 were simply amazing. Love it.

MARVELOUS! I love this remix in so many ways that it's hard to keep one train of thought on one aspect going before I think of something else I want to say about it. To pack it all into a little rectangle of words, Excellent song concept, Excellent song title, Excellent mixing, Excellent excellence! I would have to give massive humungous props to the "clock solo" at 3:04 to 3:32. That heavy kick and slamming clock beat was simply one of the most amazing combinations of sounds I have ever heard. Vocals are beautifully done and are actually quite inspiring in some senses. E-Bison be rockin' the house!

I visited OCRemix drowsy and tired at 2 in the morning to find a remix that's been keeping me awake for more than 2 hours on end. I do believe that this remix has earned the status of simply, purely, EPIC. Now, my attempt to be slightly more analytical, the guitar is incredibly powerful yet smooth. The hi-hat is probably my favorite part of the drumline. It's got a real funky beat that just rocks my world. I feel like the kick probably could've had a little more force behind it, but perhaps that would've made the song too loud and distracting. I'm actually quite satisfied with the way it is, but my opinion isn't the only one that counts! Good work Nekofrog. Now...make us more!

A great mix! It had me slamming through the whole 2 and a half minutes of loveliness. My only complaint would have to be the guitar from 0:42 to 0:59. It's a minor issue, but I couldn't really "feel" the guitar during that timeframe. I just don't believe it matched the intensity of the drums, so it was more or less drowned out in my opinion. But all in all, nice job! More, make more!

I use exclusively Sony Vegas to do my editing. I've used Vegas to do video editing for quite some time, so I was much more familiar with it than I was with Flash.

I believe that any experience has the capacity to change your thinking, depending more or less on how much you put it to heart. CABAL Online granted me a change in my thinking. I led a guild in that game, probably the largest population-wise (reached the maximum member limit) and about 5th in terms of pure level and damage potential. The struggles, conflicts, good times, and friends that I made from that experience have changed a lot of things about me. And since my friends are still around me from back then, I can say that through them, CABAL Online will always be a factor that's changing my life. Very interesting thread by the way. Really put my mind to work on something I've never really considered before!

It seems like you do not understand the English language very well. I will repeat then in simpler terms. If you think my idea is a waste of time and you don't like it, why are you wasting your time posting pointless messages? Unless I'm special to you or something, the attention is mostly unwanted. If a simple thread title bugs you so much, that should be motivation enough to stay away from it. It's pretty ironic how people give the most attention to the things they dislike the most. Anyways, planning is somewhat behind for the Day's End animation. I'm continuously revising my storyline. Since I am forcing the challenge of using absolutely no dialogue upon myself, I will have to make sure that my technique portrays the words they replace correctly. Thematic suggestions are always welcome from Remixers and listeners alike. EDIT: Thank you to whichever moderator edited my thread title. I am unsure if these forums allow me to do it myself, but if it is a title that a moderator approves of, then it will most likely not cause confusion as to what its intent is.

I prefer clarity over poorly phrased English, i.e. "makin vids 4 ocremix songz" If you have nothing to say about the idea itself, then please keep your unrelated opinions to yourself, if you could.

The sound effects came straight from a video game's Data folder, so I don't believe there are any naturally cleaner samples I could have used. I believe the harsh sound quality on my sound effects comes from me trying to increase their volume to surpass that of the background music, which then resulted in destroying the sound quality in some cases. Heh, just like Audix, I expected people to pick on my sound effects. This is OCRemix after all . I'll see what I can do to revise the issue next time I make a combat scene!

Hello OCRemixers, OCRemix members, and OCRemix ninjas (lurkers)! Recently, I tried my hand in the field of animation using Maple Story styles and designs and felt that my work was quite satisfactory for a beginner. I then decided to combine this new passion with my passion for video game music - more specifically, video game remixes from OCRemix. As such, I chose to uptake a personal endeavor. As listed in the topic title, this endeavor will be known as the OCA Project, or Overclocked Animation Project. Using strictly songs from OCRemix, I will partake in creating animations with Maple Story styles and designs to attempt to portray my interpretation of the song. I have great hopes for this project and promise to turn up results, no matter how long it will take me to complete an entire song. I believe that by unspoken demand, people would like to see a sample of my animation style. I recently created an animation as a gift for one of my closest friend's birthday - my first, complete animation. Though I regret to say I cannot share it all due to privacy, I can share a small fraction of it that involves combat that has been tuned to one of OCRemix's very own songs. The song I used for this combat sequence is "The Secrets of Sosetsuken" by none other than the Sexcellent Sixto Sounds himself! Though this does not use the entirety of the song, I do hope that it will allow OCRemix to see if my endeavor is something that they will welcome on this site. The next OCA that I plan on creating is one for Audix and Tweek's "Day's End" Remix of the Mario Kart 64 Credit Roll. I have negotiated this with Audix quite some time ago and will try to complete the OCA for Day's End ASAP. In the mean time, I would really love some comments. Comments about the idea, comments about the sample video itself, comments about me, anything. Feel free to contact me anytime on AIM, MSN, or via PM right here on OCRemix. AIM: AkuSiDuo <- (capital i in SiD) MSN: cbblader@hotmail.com I hope to hear from OCRemix! Regards, Duo

Uhm...I guess I'll be the ice breaker. 1. Read the sticky on how to properly make a ReQuest thread. 2. There are 15 FF8 ReMixes starting on page 20 of the ReMix section under the "Browse" tab. 3. Show a little more respect to people who spend endless hours making enjoyable music for people who half the time show no gratitude whatsoever. Even if you didn't read the sticky about how to make a ReQuest, you should still use a more mature approach at making a ReQuest. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to gracefully ask whether or not OCRemix carries any FF8 remixes. 4. No, I am not a jerk. I am simply trying to teach you how to interact with the OCRemix community properly in this section of the forums. Please adhere or go back to lurking. Thanks, Duo

GOLD! This is one of the very few remixes where I felt that vocals didn't destroy a normally instrumental song. The build up was fantastic, and the overall beat was so darkly ominous that it really does induce an adrenaline rush in you. The build up is crashed by a funky rock drum beat as the build up is transformed into aggression and a more forward intent. The transition from build up to mainstream was very seamless and worked more than well. The beat shift mid-lyrics was awesome, and the continuation off of said lyrics was stunning. A deadly ReMix from a trio of Grade-A ReMixers.
