This is weird, cause I voted on all matches the same day. However, I had to relog when placing the vote on my match, which might have caused the system to not register it somehow. Wish someone would have notified me earlier. Here was my vote: Really hope you can count the vote as it wasn't intentional and I did not intend to penalize everyone else. Also, I really wanna thank anyone who was crazy enough to vote for me. <3 <3 <3 I went in this match expecting a 60-0 result in favor of Beth, so the outcome humbled me to say the least. Thanks again to Matt for having me on the compo, and congrats/good luck to wildfire on her next match.

Hello there fellow real Metal Gear fan (you know, not the usual MGS2-only type). This reminds me I gotta get around to remix some MG2 - Solid Snake someday. This is a very nice and comprehensive piece you've created here. Instruments are convincing and full sounding. Afaict, the orchestration is believable. You've really captured the essence of the original MG, much in the way the songs from the MG 20th anniversary album did. Personally I've enjoyed your take on those classic themes a whole lot, the arrangement side of things at least. While I think it may sound a little conservative/medley-ish for OCR, I'll let the mods/judges decide on what's what. Now, my main gripe is that the production is way too muddy and overpowering a lot of the time. Problem is, I cannot say if it's due entirely to Youtube compression or if it's in the actual mix itself. What would really help would be if you uploaded an mp3 version on like tindeck or soundcloud if you got one. As it stands, the production (or how the mix appears to sound on YT) is gonna be the biggest roadblock on your way to OCR's front page. Btw, make sure you add the links to the sources in your first post, if you ever want workshop mods to review your song. I'll keep an eye on this thread. Good luck with this awesome orchestral piece.

Looks like Gunstar Blue is getting all the love around here. This ends now! ;P Gunstar Heroes Red Gunstar Heroes Green Gunstar Heroes Yellow ...and Smash Daisku for good measure! LT: Unfortunately not allowing any more images taller or wider than 32px.

Yeah, as DusK said someone already put a tentative claim on it. We're sorting this one out right now. But with your style Pete, I think you would do awesome on tracks like Defeat Pinky Roader! or Theme of Golden Silver. Let us know anytime. And good luck with your next mix/match in the lizard bracket.

Marking you down for Legend of the Gunstars. Welcome aboard my friend. Hi there Mike. Could you check in with us (via PM) before you begin working on anything? Cause if you present a wip that does not fit the project direction, we'll be forced to decline. And we really don't want to turn down the very few people who actually know about the game. So please get in touch with us asap. Thanks in advance. CJ, I remember that Seven Force/Stage 1 remix you did last year. Always great to have some enthusiastic GH fans oboard. The exemple track you provided seems to fit our direction, but be warned: this source is one of the most iconic tracks from the game. We'll be expecting nothing short of a mind blowing interpretation. So if you're up for a good challenge, then you're on.

Ever since discovering it on R:TS a while back, this has become one of my favorite remixes, not just from Stevo, but of all time. "Soothing" and "Refreshing" are the first words that come to my mind when listening to this excellent arrangement. It's an inspiring piece, filled with emotion and reminiscent of the simple joy that games once used to bring. Best of all: it got me playing Kirby's Dream Land. So thanks again for sharing this with the world.

No prob. If you're up for arranging, we'll hold your claim within the limits of reason. We just want to avoid having people sit on their claims for months on end, that's all. Hit me or DusK via PM to give us a general idea of your availability and we'll mark you down.

I'd like to emphasis that there are no genre restrictions per se. Simply a focus on modern-sounding and intensity-driven interpretations. So long as you can bring the energy, you're welcome to give it a try.

Aside from possibly gaining the good graces of one director in particular, nope, no advantage at all. That said, watch your levels and make sure your entry is free from any clipping or audible artifacts. Definitely looking forward to what you'll come up with. Don't forget to bring the energy! Note to all contestants: the winner might be asked to further polish his/her track after the compo. Make sure you're cool with that possibility. Good luck everyone!

How you will regret those words upon discovering the tasteless pancake I just left in your inbox.

Wait, did you manage to find an actual midi for Chun Nan? Ahah, never said I was quitting or wouldn't turn something in. Just pointing out that wildfire had a better head start, which gives her an edge, that's all. Besides, everyone wanna do proper justice to a song they like. In this case, both source are equally important to me, so I gotta find the right balance. But fair enough Mr X. No more posting until my mix is in your inbox. ;P

QFE since I haven't written a single note yet. Looks like victory is just around the corner for lady wubfire.

Got a whooping 450 milliseconds written. Needless to say, I feel pretty confident about the outcome of this match. ;P

So it's ok to put like 5 notes from each source provided the arrangement is catchy and the prod is decent? Also, you can't make progress if you're always satisfied with what you already have.

Wait, what? I thought we had to use anything and everything from both sources. Guess I'll start over...

So many entries this time around. T'was a great round folks. Oh, and after voting I noticed that the member profiles are back. Maybe change is on the way for TS. Let's hope for many more awesome PRCs like this one.

Nothing short of stellar. Fantastic orchestral work, excellent choice of instruments. You've really captured the essence of what made S&S unique and expanded on that. I thoroughly enjoyed that game, because it made me feel something as a player. Your take on Jim Guthrie's work had the exact same impact. Music that make you feel something. Only nitpick would be the slight oversaturation/overcompression during the busiest parts. But that alone didn't detract from the enjoyment your arrangement provided me. Thank you for sharing this awe inspiring piece with the world.

wildfire is now known as lazyfire. ;PAnyway, time to start mixin'. Good luck to you Beth.

Good thing source usage isn't judged like for real oc remixes, cause you couldn't get away with that. ;P Do you hate all ethnic instruments with a passion or just the melody being played here?

Ahah, have fun transcribing that one. ;D ...but don't worry too much. You're going to win.
