I think our friend Kyle was innocently suggesting being in favor of a MMX remix project.
...wait! Does that mean there has never been such a project going on at OCR?
-
Really glad to hear some PSO, It brings back memories.
It really helps determining how faithfull a remix can be to the source material.
In this case it seems close to original, yet has subtle variations.
Soundscape is rich & overall the mix sounds clean to me.
I dunno if there is yet any mastering work done here?
And, I luv the drum work on this one. Nice way to demo Groove Bias.
Now I can't wait for both this mix & your kit to come out.

Willrock, J64H & SKR: next time your enter a compo, at least you could have the decency to vote, out of respect for everyone who participated... including ..well ..yourselves.
Also,
BoldThis has got to be the best constructive comment I've ever received on my work, ever.
Anyway, good round everyone.

My question is mainly directed towards the sample *programming* format, ie. Battery, NN-XT, Ultrabeat, etc...
'Battery' format would be awesome, but Kontakt is already nice enough.
This sounds powerful, yet a lot of fun to use, judging by the b-tester's previews.
Hope we'll see the great results next month.
Good preset-building to you!
-
So, no new updates since thursday?
That's too bad, it was quite good so far, despite a little repetitive at times.
Also, you really have a knack for drum programming.
Anyway, this concept seem to be the best cure against procrastination, so I might try it someday.

This is a Very nice orchestral piece. Ambience is set from the get go.
Nutritious piece transports you to an epic journey full of space jumping & metroid busting...
But don't forget to freeze 'em with the ice beam before you shoot missiles!
Transition at 1:02 is smooth, with the overwhelming sense of menace.
At 1:50 the classic melody rolls in and the heroic feeling takes over.
The rest is simply beautiful to hear.
Overall, great direction & ace composition skills.
I know little about technique, so I'll abstain from commenting on that.
But in terms of production, Galaxy Awaits sounds way better than any recent official Metroid soundtrack.
-
Uh? I don't understand why people stay away from this.
Strange...
Anyway, to me it's an impressive song, varied and friggin long!
But the 7 minutes passed by in a flash, and it was very enjoyable to say the least.
As for the critic part:
-It needs more EQ on bass frequencies... or a bass player indeed.
-It could benefit from a piano melody on top of part at 1:55
-At 4:10 you shouldn't go straight to the epic-rock part.
Instead you could add a small melodic portion, with just soundscapes & instruments, but without rythmic/drum at all.
-The ending cut is abrupt... but you already know that, don't you?
That's it for my advices/critics.
I won't be able to help you further, as my knowledge of mastering is still fairly limited.
But I'll be following your progress on this one.
(Oh, and please consider resizing/changing your image, as it impedes the reading of this thread. Thx!)

My only big problem now is how on earth am I going to burn the games onto a disc in Ubuntu....
Brasero maybe?
Well, only problem is that you're dealing with GD-rom, which unfortunately for you were burned on reverse mode...
Never heard of a disc-driver that could do this.
-
Horay! It's friday, and as promised, yet another Dynamite Headdy remix to preview!
This one is from
, one of the early stages of the game, preceding the epic sidescrolling battle against Maruyama.
I went for electro this time around ...even though I've never even tried this genre before.
EDIT: song's time is up at host. But it will be included in the album!
-
it was pretty much just final fantasy xi's system with some more generic mmo stuff jammed in
Actually it was mostly Vagrant Story's system, updated a little bit.
And the sound FXs were recycled from Vagrant Story (concentration before cating spell, sword & arrow hit, and such...).
Logic considering Sakimoto was in charge, but lazy nonetheless...
-
Now it's the challenge to DjMokram to improve one place again and get victory.
Unfortunately, that may not happen in this round, because I probably won't have time to attend this week.
I'll try, but If I can't, see you guys next time.
-
Neither have I... bwahaha.
And I'm next in line!
Allright, so nice tuning here and there.
Now it really reminds me of Megaman Network Transmission.
Namely, music from Quickman & Starman stages.
This remix needs some more source material!
The sound is all over the place, but it's overwhelming.
The drum pattern need some cuts & more variations.
Also, try to polish your mixing a little bit more.
Keep it up.
-
Would you fancy some Stoneman by any chance?
It won't be before next month though.

After the great hommage that was 'Rearmed', the new next-gen opus looks awesome!
With refined mechanics & tri-dimensional levels, it's a whole new way to experience the original concept.
If you like grappling things with your mechanical arm too, head over to BioCom HQ!
You'll find free preview of the 2009 soundtrack there, plus some BC Rearmed tracks.
But also the kick-ass Machinae Supremacy remixes covering classic songs in rock+electro/chiptune style.

I guess it's not a problem strictly related to video game music industry, but rather an issue with society in general.
People these days want to arrive fast, become famous, all without making any efforts.
Only a few parents still teach their child the value of working hard to get what they want.
Seeing as many people still manage to get rich & famous without making a lot of effort, by simply having the right connections,
I can understand why yougsters would feel compeled not to waste anytime trying.
Society always show you the success, but never really mention the sacrifice required to get there.
As for your reaction SnowStorm, that was mature & considerate of you.
You were very lucid & patient, when you could have easily burned him.
But he's just a kid mixing up his dream and the reality, as kid often do.

What you should know:
-First register at ThaSauce
-Check the OHC thread here on OCR, or see here to know when the next one starts
-Then when the day arrives, get ready to rumble!
-Compose, have fun, & post your remix on the compo's page before the deadline
-Join the discussion/listening session at #thasauce on irc.enterthegame.com (if you want to)
Well that's about it I think.
-
Pick a track if you're interested, and send me an early wip so we can ok the style you're going for.
Got it. I'll go for 'Sacrifice part 1' then. Will send you a WIP when it's done.

Behold your savior!
Or maybe not...

If DjMokram removed it himself I want to know why. Maybe he's just updating it and brings the song between now and 37 minutes.
Bingo! More like 56 seconds in fact...
The reason behind this is an epic story to tell to my grand-childs. I barely made it!
DAMN YOU GARIAN!! Stealing my glory, once again (this isn't the first time, lol).
So Gario & Garian aren't the same man? That's odd, I would have swore they were one person.
-
Oh and Mokram, there's no way you're getting away with it like that lol, I can't do all the job on my own either!
Ahah! Don't worry I'm here to back you up. I'll bring the latte, make photocopies & stuff!
Nothing new to showcase this week, but a fresh remix will be up next friday.
Stay tuned.
-
So far so good. It's a neat feature indeed!
This will really help appreciate a rich diversity of opinion regarding the remixes, without having to constantly switch back & forth between pages.
Added to the tagging campain currently in progress, it will help everyone gain a lot of time, and hopefully encourage people to be more productive (ie= moar reviews).
Much appreciated.

Reminds me I gave my ps2 with AC 4,5,0 to my little nephew, like you would leave a legacy in the hands of your descendants.
The devious child sold it to buy a DS with Diddy Kong Racing ...tragic, TRAGIC!
