I liked your mix a lot, and I don't think the panel was overly negative; Gray especially was on the fence, and I think resubmitting with minor changes could still see it posted. However, I have to say, in no universe of mine is your mix "mind bogglingly" better than this; I think perhaps your perspective is somewhat biased due to having a surf mix that wasn't posted. I'd say they're fairly comparable, with a cleaner recording on yours and a more varied arrangement here. I appreciate efforts to be civil, and make such efforts myself when I recommend not using the term "mind boggling" to describe how much better your music is than others'....

One of my fans requested that I do the Bubble Bobble song, so I did. Now that I've done it, I figured those who like this sort of thing might like it. The song is the first listed at: Contact Info: - Mouth Reliant (band name) - Tim Hansen (real name) - nationwideclyde@hotmail.com - www.economysuperstar.com ReMix Info: - Bubble Bobble theme - I wrote the MIDI for this entirely by ear, referencing an mp3 of the C64 version and writing an original bridge section. Each track was individually mastered in Cool Edit Pro. I'm particularly proud of the Casio-style drum track lovingly created by hand. Some of you might think it's not terribly different from the original, but then, most of my music sounds like videogames. -Tim Hansen

To whoever reads this email: I'm submitting a new remix - here's all the info: Remixer name: Colin Stewart (I'm new) Real name: Colin Stewart Email: cjs@sfu.ca Game: Final Fantasy VIII User ID: I don't know what number you're referring to, but my ID is cj_stewart Song: The Extreme Comments: I've always found the final boss theme from FFVIII ("The Extreme") to be incredibly frustrating. The first part of the piece (i.e. the first 90 seconds) is, to me, the most beautiful music that Uematsu has ever written, bar none. But those first 90 seconds are followed by two minutes of ... well, nothing much interesting at all. Half the time that I listen to "The Extreme", I stop playing it at the 90 second mark. I was getting sick of doing this, so I decided to remix it. It's my first remix, and a pretty straightforward one too. In future, I may do another, more complex arrangement of the same piece - it has so much material to work with (I'm surprised no one else has done a remix of it yet). -Colin

Hi, ReMixer name: Cloud Real name: Daniel Fielding Email address: _cloudstrife@yahoo.com Website: http://www.cloudsgallery.com/ Userid (number, not name) on our forums: 22982, I think Name of game(s) ReMixed: Chrono Trigger Name of individual song(s) ReMixed: Secret of (the) Forest Comments about the mix, for example the inspiration behind it, how it was made, etc: Made in Reason 2.5. I was originally intending this to be generally more ambient, and the whole midway transition to kinda-cheesy-dance-music happened almost completely by accident -- I wasn't expecting "scale tempo x2" to sound quite that good... The rest of the song was slightly inspired by the kind of sound in Voice Rhythm (Command & Conquer tune by Frank Klepacki), although there's not really a great similarity. I'll be a very happy bunny the day I can make something that sounds like that. I didn't intend for it to end up being so long. If I were more decisive, I'd chop some of it out... but I kinda like it all, as it stands, so I'm loathe to ditch any one part in particular. Most of my tunes struggle to break 3 minutes anyway, so this is quite an unusual (and welcome) problem for me to be having... The main reason for making this thing was that I've made quite a few remixes lately, yet none of them have been game soundtrack remixes, so the only thing I have on OCRemix is still my old, not-particularly-great Seiken Densetsu 3 tune. The original tune was neat, anyway... always did like that bassline, for some reason, and it was just short enough to force me to come up with plenty of new stuff rather than falling into the old "just change the instruments a bit" trap. Considering a Crusader: No Remorse remix next... assuming I don't have to spend any more time tweaking this one. Cheers -Cloud

Comments: I made this in FruityLoops 3 in my spare time, playing around with samples taken from the ending cutscene. I'm not all too good with this kind of thing, but I do like how this one turned out. It's truly sad that there are no FutureCop remixes on your site. Perhaps I can rectify that, perhaps not.

The Decisive Battle track has a lot of strange inconsistencies in it, and so I pulled what sounded most coherent and combined it with the Song of Prayer. At first it was just a random idea, I had no idea if it would actually turn out when I combined them. It scared me that it actually worked. So I tried other things with other forms of the Song, it was such a mess in Cool Edit, almost everything had to be transposed and edited for timing. Then after that I added an R&B beat to it almost as a joke, but I liked it way too much, so I kept it. After that I added the Time of Judgement to give a bit of an intro with some added techno effects.

Hi again, here's the link: Remixer name:Taika Contact: YaskaNOSP@Mhotmail.com Shining In The Darkness is very nostalgic game for me, one of the first Sega games I had. Not the best game ever but when you're 10 years old anything goes. I decided go for the dungeon theme, which get's looped well, around 100 000 times during the game. Instead of marching in the darkness, like the original, my version is more like trampling, leaping and bleeding in and out of the endless corridors of the dungeon. (inspired by the near death freezing temperatures here in the northern Finland)

I'd like to submit an arrangement to OCRemix. I've posted the arrangement at It's an arrangement of a song from "Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake" for the MSX. My forum name (which, I guess would be my remixer name in this situation) is "brownjava". My website is "http://www.brownjava.org". Thanks, Jeremy

Email sub file Xenosphere.mp3 - djp Hey guys, its been a while since I have done any remix stuff but a few days ago I decided to to one. This song is another cross remix that I wrote as a tribute to Yasunori Mitsuda. The basic structure is Omen from Xenogears but you will hear elements from Presentiment (Chrono Trigger). Enjoy! Jerad Muller ReMixer - Oceanfire

Remix is located here: ReMixer name: BlacKnight Email: toastman__@hotmail.com website: http://jmhooton.iweb.bsu.edu/ I remixed the Stage Select music from Mega Man X. I had an earlier version of this but i made it better for submission hence the REDUX in the title. IF this doesnt get accepted please post the judges reviews for me so i can see how to improve on it. It would be greatly appreciated! THNX

I tried to submit this before, from a different email account. I never got a confirmation message. I have since found out how entirely unreliable that account was, and hence I'm sending this from a more reliable service. Anyway here's my information: Contact info: Remixer name: Roo Real Name: (though I'd rather remain anonymous) E-mail: moon_man321@yahoo.com (I don't mind that being posted) Website: The only website I have is a crappy geocities thing I threw together to get my mix to you, which I'd rather not have posted, either. The link to the page with the mix is below. User ID: I don't know where to find this. I have an account, but I never actually used it. Remix info: Game: Final Fantasy 6 Song: Decisive Battle Comments: The link to the song can be found on this site: , the actual link is on the right, and says: Final Fantasy 6 - Gargantuan Enemy. All the tag info should be correct. If for some reason that doesn't work, the song can also be found on VGMix at , although the name will end up wrong, and I'm not certain if the tag info is still the same. I've always like this song, and I noticed the lack of any versions of it on OCRemix, so I thought I might give it a go. However, I'm not a professional mixer by any means, with only what skills I could figure out myself on Fruity Loops, and meager amounts of piano lessons. Still, I think the song works well enough. It's really hard to describe exactly what it is; the thing doesn't fall into any particular genre. I tried to make the drums stick out, thinking of how drums and war go together like peanut and butter (peanut+butter = the oh so yummy peanutbutter), I tried to make the drums stand out. Also, I get a lot of guff about the high pitched fuzzy sorta synth thing that I use in the background of the soung (fades in around 1'18''). Most people hate it, but I'm rather fond of it; I made it myself by seriously tweaking on of the default synths and sending it through a number of filters. Beyond that, the song explains itself much better than anything I can say about it. Hope you like it. - Roo

Yo, Since my last submission is through the panel already, I figured it's about time submit another one. SO HERE WE GO! Game: System Shock 2 Original Songs: Med-Sci: Science Sector, Operations D, Hydroponics B/C, Engineering: Coolant Tubes This is a medley of four of the five upbeat tracks from System Shock 2. I left one out because it had nothing to it except some drums, a bass line, and some little filter changes. Nothing I really needed to include. This medley completely ate my computer alive. Had to do it in two chunks--which I mixed together in Sound Forge--because each individual chunk used up 95-100% of my CPU. Goody gumdrops. Anyway, enjoy it. -Beatdrop

I think this is cool but every time I like acoustic guitar mixes y'alls hit me and puts me in the basement with the gimp. - djp Todd Kreuzburg Remixer name, Guitarstar.... Final Fantasy / Sight of Spira / by Nobuo Uematsu I am a sampling/computer/gaming/ guitar nut. I heard Nobuo;s midi guitar rendering of this brilliant tune, and i decided to record it myself, but with real classical guitar. I'm a trained classical guitarist. I do alot of recordings with guitar and with virtual instruments, but this particular version of Uematsu's piece, turned out quite stunning. I hope you agree..... I used my Ramirez classical guitar. 2 Shure SM-81 mics in xy stereo. Running into a Delta 1010 24 96khz soundcard. Running Logic 5.5 Pentium 4 3.0 ghz with 3 gigs of ram. Tons of sample libraries and virtual instruments. But of course, just the guitar for this mix. The reverb on the guitar is UAD Realverb. Real instruments for gaming music?!?!? Why that's crazy!!!

Hey, I'd like to submit a ReMix. Here's the info: The file above is ACTUALLY an MP3 file, but I renamed it to an MP2(which works) because my host doesn't allow MP3s.
