Right, but that's just for licensing the music. The permission to raise funds via Kickstarter is, at least according to some, a separate cost/right entirely, since it's not a fixed price-per-track licensing - backers can (and do) contribute more, for other types of benefits... @GSO Grand plans usually require enthusiastic participants/collaborators, and you'll get more of those when you have a track record of successful projects, whether free or commercial. So yes, to echo what's been said several times, it feels like you're starting very large, and that your energies would be more productively directed at building up the type of successes that would lead to being able to put something like this together more effectively.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! OC ReMix and YoshiBlade present Candy Corn II: The Sequeling! October 31, 2017 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA... BOO! Celebrating Halloween, OC ReMix is proud to present YoshiBlade's Candy Corn II: The Sequeling, a follow-up to Halloween 2016's release of the original Candy Corn EP. The Sequeling features seven game arrangements and four vocal drama tracks inspired by the legendary television show "The Twilight Zone," including EDM takes on games like Super Metroid, Final Fantasy VII, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and more. The album was produced to help promote video game music, was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by copyright owners; the games, characters, images, and original compositions are copyright their respective owners. "The Twilight Zone... was THE inspiration for this album as the tracks were more about questioning what you know as opposed to the BOO! of Candy Corn I," says creator YoshiBlade. Candy Corn II: The Sequeling also marks the fifth Halloween album release for the OC ReMix community. Last week OCR released Ghetto Lee Lewis's Heretic Sinphony, arranging the music of DOS FPS Heretic, last year saw YoshiBlade's arrangement and skit album Candy Corn, 2015 featured the Castlevania-based album trilogy Vampire Variations, and Joshua Morse created the site's first solo artist album with his 2009 Castlevania tribute Sonata of the Damned. About OverClocked ReMix Founded in 1999, OverClocked ReMix is an organization dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of video game music as an art form.

@timaeus222 @Olarin @YoshiBlade @BLAHMASTER @WesternZypher @DarkeSword & others: Tags (still in beta) are now clickable from ReMix pages (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03538) & can be browsed at http://ocremix.org/tags Yay! We have much work to do! Who's down for more batches?

@Bahamut I've been chipping in on album eval and am through the first two discs - I don't think you'll be disappointed, @Jorito's taken the ball and run with it, sounding great so far!

Well, NI support forums PROBABLY gonna be more help... @zircon very busy these days... I'd be tempted to recommend reinstalling Native Access and seeing if that addresses the problem. What lib are you trying to add? Are you sure it's a library? MANY folks get confused on the difference between libraries (encrypted, protected, install via Native Access) and regular old NKI "libraries" that don't have a special process...

@JohnStacy We had a strict band director in high school, but you could ALWAYS, always, always tell that he cared about the music, about the band, about what he was doing, and about what we were all doing. For this role especially, I think, any scent of apathy is absolutely toxic. He'd occasionally provide some background on a given piece, or its composer, but I wish he'd done a little bit more of that, actually... not sure if most students would be interested in that, but I was.

@nicke_w We have removed the mix in question. If you've got anything newer, we'd love to hear it!

@dfcentre Perhaps I can help you: We don't really require passwords - user accounts allow participation on the forums, control of artist profile options, and will eventually be required for submissions, but simply browsing the site and downloading mixes can be done without an account. We DO have an SSL certificate, and we HAVE enabled the option in our forum software so that when you log on, it's via SSL. It redirects back out of SSL after the login has occurred, but the credentials are sent encrypted. See attached screenshot; you can also see this via logging out and back in - the password is posted via HTTPS.

@Liontamer Has a bunch, and we HAVE done outreach to try and get WAV/FLAC from which to re-encode. In addition, when we made the big 2014 torrent update, we upgraded quite a few: http://ocremix.org/info/Torrent_Update_v20141015#Files_with_Increased_Bitrate.2FEncoding_.2851.29 Our plan is to eventually host FLACs, but they may be for registered users only (there'd still be a torrent that was open) & our Patreon backers will get advance access since they're making it possible. First things first, we need to update the site for better mobile/responsive experience, but this IS on the roadmap, for featured mixes!

Friday, August 11 to Sunday, August 13 Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, DC https://www.otakon.com/ OC ReMix will be making our ELEVENTH (!!) appearance at this year's Otakon, for the FIRST TIME in Washington, DC! Of course, we plan on having folks duke it out in games for prizes as well, so come for the music, stay for the carnage! ;-D

@Silverpool The ZIP distributions should now be fixed, FYI.

Because we had the DX version on file instead of the main. I've synchronized that one out so now there's: http://ocremix.org/chip/240 http://ocremix.org/game/40355/legend-of-zelda-links-awakening-dx-gbc Not 100% sure on question; one way to get a single file is to render each track to WAV/FLAC/MP3. But if you really want to modify the NSF itself: https://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9326

It *somewhat* depends on the genre(s) you wanna tackle - jazz/blues/Latin considerably harder to do w/ sampled/sequenced elements and 0% real instruments, but definitely not impossible. As @Jorito & @Meteo Xavier say, I don't think this should be a prime concern or any sort of barrier; plenty of great music to be made with ALL live, recorded instruments, plenty of great music to be made with 100% synthesized electronic instruments, and everything in between. All modern DAWs let you mix & match sequenced parts with recorded instruments, and often the best solution involves a mix of both - nothing like a real trumpet for a jazz solo of any complexity, but if it's part of a horn section playing soft backup chords, not as essential that it be a Real Live Human Player ™

@prophetik music Confirmed, this is currently a hard limit for users of the "Members" group; relevant settings: Conversations allowed to start per day = 5 Conversations allowed to start per minute = 1 Maximum recipients per conversation = 5 These are intended to mitigate any spambots that might make it through (or, I suppose, overzealous users?) from abusing the PM system. Do you need more & why? If so, and perhaps regardless, we may create an "elevated" group above regular members for users who have been around a good while, made numerous contributions, etc., and we could bump these settings for these ELITE SPECIAL PEEPS...

First, hats off to all judges for critical listening & detailed observations. For the NO votes, I see two strains: "Weird notes"/intonation, from Gario More production/structure related (repetition & meandering solo) from Larry, Shariq, etc. Regarding the first, there's definitely still some funky stuff going on, and I'm not gonna lie, it's hard for me to track... at no point does it sound obscenely questionable, but it's certainly doing things one wouldn't expect in the genre. That CAN be a good thing, and usually is, and it certainly kept me interested, but I suppose the question is: does it work? To which I'd say.... it doesn't NOT work It doesn't strain my definition of what sounds musical, intentional, and expressive that much. I've no doubt you could go full music theory as @Gario did and have more informed conversations with more context, but my go-with-yer-gut Dubya take on things is that it doesn't upset my stomach and I was still groovin'... FWIW. Production/structure crits, I agree with in substance, but not extent; they feel like legit areas that could have been improved, but not showstoppers. Mike's gonna get us a version where the ending doesn't cut off abruptly, which I DO think is potentially a camel's back-breaking detail that deserves to be addressed. Otherwise, I'm down. Yes (conditional, but Mike's said he'll revise the ending)
