    Remix Guidlines

    in General Discussion

    Substantively, that's not your own arrangement, no. The MIDI was the arrangement. We need some level of creative interpretation as well.

    Check Section 4 here: http://ocremix.org/info/Submission_Standards_and_Instructions

    If it's ripped from the ROM, even the MIDI itself isn't an arrangement - it's the original composition, just converted.

    If it's an existing MIDI arrangement from vgmusic.com or similar, there *IS* at least the possibility that with extensive remastering/rendering AND the full consent/permission of the arranger, you could submit a collaboration.

    I would also like to thank Andrew Aversa, David Lloyd, Larry Oji and the rest of the OverClocked Records staff for this amazing opportunity and for all their hard work promoting the album. It means a lot.

    And of course a huge thanks to Sami "TheSmai" Briggs for her amazing artwork which helped me drive this home to completion.

    Chiptune player/remix app GaMBi coming to iOS

    Well, https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html

    4. Combined Works.

    You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following:

    • a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.

    I don't think having the mention on an unlinked source code repository would qualify as prominent notice, so yeah, even for LGPL there are still some rules.

    Do you have a list of all the libraries used along with the license they employ, for each chiptune format/engine?

    Two quick questions:

    1. Were all the various chiptune playback engines written from scratch, or were GPL components used, as with Modizer?
    2. If GPL components were used, is the full source code for GaMBi available anywhere?

    I ask because I'm not seeing any libraries cited, like Modizer does, nor am I seeing any source posted, as Modizer does, and since writing all of that sound emulation code from the ground up is a tall order, I'm just curious whether that's the case, or if perhaps credit where credit is due (and source where source is due) is an issue here? If you're charging for an app (again, as Modizer does) that uses other code, and especially if that code is licensed under the GPL, well...

    GUI is very nice, not trying to be confrontational, but clarification on this point would be appreciated...

    I have the exact same question in mind.

    Plus: Will the promotion codes have an expiry date? e.g. Will I have to use it within the month?

    Yes & yes, codes just sent, use 'em & get some great music!!

    Jamming to the Patreon-only OCR previews from this morning's email. All you non-backers have some great music to look forward to!

    :) We definitely wanna throw backers some nice bonuses - this is the first of many to come!

    I've also probably written 5 other pieces since then which I've also forgotten how to play. Feedback of any media needs to happen with more immediacy or it becomes redundant.

    I'm guessing there was a missing "for me, at least" on the end of this thought, because we HAVE seen countless examples of folks revising pieces based on feedback that took a good while, and sometimes through multiple iterations. We ALL agree that it's ideal to provide feedback more quickly, and to that end it's always a good idea to get feedback via the workshop or from your friends or wherever BEFORE submitting. We do want to decrease the latency of judging, and we will, but I think the "redundancy" of feedback offered even at this current rate has shown to be variable, from artist to artist.
