@Mirby Dealt with - many thanks for reporting

Yup, had to buy it. Too many memories!

@Brandon Strader, @Chernabogue Thanks for your assistance on this - SHOULD be fixed now, please let us know if it persists or you see a similar error in the future!

@Brandon Strader, @Chernabogue It's definitely mod_security.... again. Can you see if you can figure out the text that's triggering it?

It seems to me that leveling the charge of bandwagon mourning is just as bandwagon as bandwagon mourning itself; when it comes to something like this, I think it's MUCH better to give people the benefit of the doubt... if you're wrong about someone else's grief or sense of loss, you're the douche of the decade, whereas if they're expressing disproportionate, uninformed, or insincere sadness, they're just being transiently emotional...
Unless you're psychic, maybe just either empathize or be quietly skeptical?

Got a 500 Error while posting a new topic in Help&Newbies.
@Chernabogue Do you remember what you were posting? There are generally two possibilities:
- It was something specific to the content you were posting, which triggered a mod_security outside of IPS
- It was an environmental thing and/or a bug in the software
So far most of the 500 errors we've seen fall into the first category, but we've tweaked the rule that was causing most issues... if it happens again & you can get me a screenshot + time/date stamp, appreciated.

Lolz... @Liontamer needs more sleepz

Just now, Cole Train said:
Yeah, I feel you and agree with that. I was just about to try and get in touch with Assembled about that this weekend actually, along with maybe others like Halc or Zyko. To be honest, I was imagining how godly the live rap and/or all master's rap would be with all of Assembled.
@halc & @zykO would be great additions to.
And yes... I don't know if it WILL happen, but Assembled doing the all master's rap NEEDS to happen... so hopefully it DOES

I feel like a Parappa EP *would* be awesome; strange coincidence, but I was actually thinking this to myself 2-3 days ago...
However, that being said, it absolutely, positively MUST have the talents of @Damashii!! & OverClocked Assembled - @DiGi Valentine, @SuperiorX, @BrothaDom, @José the Bronx Rican, @metaphist - or else I feel that it just won't happen the way it needs to. How often do I weigh in on album proposals and suggest that if certain artists aren't involved, the concept isn't gonna take off? Never. I never do that. I'm doing it here because this is something I'd love to see happen, something I myself saw OverClocked Assembled doing back when they first emerged, and something that would be unique for OCR.
If the crew ain't down, I'm not saying there's NO way this concept could work, but it'd be..... much, much harder... If they are, it's more a question of who would play what roles... @Cole Train, as you say, you're new round these parts, but if the artists above feel like they can work with you, and they're interested, this could be magical.
I guess what I'm really saying here is... you gotta believe.

Name of arrangement: Vengeance of the Prophet
Name of individual song(s) arranged: Magus Confronted
Your own comments about the mix, for example the inspiration behind it, how it was made, etc.:Chrono Trigger was one of the first games I remember playing, and the unique and powerful atmosphere of the confrontation with Magus left an indelible mark on me. It felt like the standard for climactic moments had been set impossibly high. Of course, as the years went by and the SPC700 sounded gradually less futuristic and more antiquated, my memory of the moment and the reality of it diverged a bit. I still love the rawness and clearness of the SNES sounds, but I wanted to hear it as my young mind had fleshed it out. None of the adaptions of it out there really hit the spot for me, so I set out to do the track justice.Adapting the unique instruments to "real" sounds was a major challenge. The high-pitched whistle, the impossibly cutting horn, the eclectic instrumentation -- nothing about the track seemed to work in high fidelity. I almost gave up, but with some persistence I eventually adapted all of the original sounds to my satisfaction, and added a significant amount of material to flesh it out. Some tweaks to the structure were necessary with the feel the track being as different as it is.(non-"program notes":)I'm not sure how you guys feel about submissions like this, fleshed-out reorchestrations. I figure this would be a borderline case, if anything. The structure is changed a bit (extended, repeat added) and there's quite a bit of new orchestration and stuff. I've been a quiet, lurking fan of OCRemix for a long time and it's always been around to develop my artistic development, even if I haven't been participating in the community until now. Thanks for listening!
Thanks,Joshua -
People used to ReMix Ninja Gaiden a lot, and now they don't. That makes me sad. This is pretty good; melodically a little repetitive, but does use intro/outro for contrast. - djp

Mixed and produced in Logic Pro. I wanted to go for a pretty epic, hollywood-ized orchestral sound so I kept the arrangement focused on the strings with the choir and brass providing layers and emphasis when needed. Woodwinds were kept to a minimum with the exception of the Japanese Shakuhachi Flute which I included for obvious reasons."

Some very cool elements, especially later on... super creative... some minor-ish production issues. Mostly, the bassline bugs me, because I feel like it's both too prominent and too static/unchanging, especially relative to all this other awesome stuff going on around it... - djp

Names of songs arranged: Vampire Killer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMLgBmO4ppY)Link to the remix:Comments about the mix:Heh, can’t believe I didn’t already submit it! Awell, at least you get the submit just before the album release
About a month before the album deadline the Vampire Killer track was unclaimed and became available again. Since I grew up with the MSX home computer and Vampire Killer (or Castlevania as it’d be called on the NES) it was an instant nostalgia hit for me. So I immediately jumped in and claimed it.
Took me a bit of thinking to decide what to do with it, especially since I remixed this same track just a year ago already. Using orchestra was a given, but I wanted to do something different this time. So I thought adding some Drum & Bass influences to an orchestral palette could work nicely.
Again I created a lot of the basic concepts I wanted to use in my mind, suffered from having too much inspiration and cooked up a decent WIP in 2 hours on the same day I claimed it. The next day the basic arrangement was done, and that was when Chernabogue pointed me to BMC War Machine. BMC also wanted to remix this track but I snatched the claim just before him. Wasn’t a problem though because BMC was happy to contribute to my track with some kickass guitar work. Took me a bit of work to fit them in the mix nicely, but I’m pretty happy with the final result and I think it has this great sense of energy and epicness that you need to slay them vampires!Cheers,Jorrith -
I think @Liontamer had some arrangement reservations, IIRC? Production obviously checks out... I'm sure @DarkeSword will want to weigh in... - djp

*Your own comments about the mix, for example the inspiration behind it, how it was made, etc.:
When I first signed up for this whole "Super Cartography Bros." remix project, I took a skim through the unclaimed map themes and...sheesh, this was really going to be a challenge! I ended up picking the Pipe Maze world theme because it's darker and less peppy -- I figured I could try and spin it into some sort of slick EDM groove.
I guess restrictions breed creativity, because somehow I managed to have a blast arranging the minimalistic 8-second loop! I tried my best to keep coming back to the main Pipe Maze riff while still adding enough variation to flesh it out into a full-length song.
My past submissions have tended to focus more on the peppy melodic 9-bit chiptunes, but I've always had an itch to create a nice EDM song like this as well. I derived influences from PrototypeRaptor and some of the other trance/progressive music that I was listening to at the time, and made extensive use of Image-Line's Harmor synth to come up with all the gritty and growly basses.
A special thanks and shoutout to Flexstyle, who helped with the final mastering on this track (along with the rest of the album!). Be sure to check out the full Super Cartography Bros. album for lots more where this came from, as well as the full 6-minute club edit of this song!

I was immediately hooked, thanks in no small part to the series' mind-blowing music. In fact, I latched onto the Super Metroid soundtrack before I ever actually got around to playing the game itself. As seems to be the case with many video game soundtracks, some of the most hauntingly beautiful music came from water-based areas. This soggy remix is my love letter to the composers of the Metroid music that has been so dear to my heart since I was a wee lad.I started fiddling with this remix about 2 years ago, before I had any appreciable music production skills. It wasn't until a few months ago that I really dedicated myself to self-educating on music production and (hopefully) graduated from fiddling around to decent proficiency at producing music in FL Studio. Any comments and constructive criticism are sincerely welcomed. -

I can understand if thisThis song is from Undertale, by Toby Fox. It's a remix of the song "Megalovania" that I've titled "Sins". You can listen to the original song HERE, but it has taken a few different forms over the years as Toby has included it in a few of his other games before this one. I partially adapted my version of the song from this midi, which I used as a guide for a couple of the more complicated parts.Hi there, my name is Spencer Jones. I'm Swelljob on the forums.

It combines the tracks X-Hunter stage 1 from Megaman X2 and my Maverick’s theme Gravity Beetle from Megaman X3. Since my team’s name was Maverick Astley, it of course features some (IMHO subtle and enjoyable) references to our third source, Never Gonna Give You Up. This is most clearly to be found in the vocoded vox, but only using part of the lyrics gave it a more sinister touch, which I liked.For completeness:Give you up
Let you down

Desert you

Now here's something you don't hear every day! Arrangement has that swirling, old-school Disney feel to it... this would have been *brilliant* with Frank Sinatra singing, but Chris lays down a vocal that for the most part keeps up with the accompaniment. - djp
Link to file:Contact InformationReMixer name: Chris Muggli-MillerEmail address:Forum userid: 16184Submission InformationName of game: Lunar: Eternal BlueName of arrangement: Blue Star PrayerName of original song: Lucia’s ThemeMy comments: Lunar 2 was one of those games that affected me more strongly than it had any right to do. While I thought the ending song was a perfect way to end the story, part of me wondered how it might have sounded if it had been a full orchestra production, like the ending themes from Final Fantasy games with which I was more familiar. Looking online and seeing a curious lack of Lunar 2 remixes out there, I decided to do my part. Here is Lucia’s Theme, re-envisioned to sound more like a Final Fantasy ending theme. True Lunar 2 fans will discover other themes from the game hidden throughout the orchestration. All arrangement and production is 100% my own work, including the vocals. Additionally, I had the good fortune of being able to share this version with Noriyuki Iwadare (composer of the original) who gave it his personal stamp of approval.Thank you!Chris-----------------------------------------------------------------My music: http://soundcloud.com/lontas -

The seriousness of the content in question and the acts that it depicts trump decorum and tact, in my mind, but I actually think many responses were quite calm & reasonable, including the one I quoted above.
I appreciate your appeal to principle, art, and policy. On the third point, I disagree with you that our standing policy surrounding pornography does not apply.
On principle & art... I'm a passionate defender of free speech and I'm opposed to censorship, but my choosing for OCR to be a place devoid of content that in any way exploits sexual abuse & rape is a form of speech too.
