Dj Mokram

EDIT: I mistook a project for another, sorry about that. As for this trance remix, great synth & melodic work as usual. I like it a lot... and it's coming from someone who isn't a trance fan!

What a bunch of liars, thieves, and corpse robbers... If only I knew beforehand what I was getting myself into. OHC Lesson 1: "thou shalt always be carrying some concealed drum pattern in your sleeve, that no soul is aware of." Thanks for the advice elder Gario!

Doesn't Winamp do this kind of job? Otherwise, you got AIMP2, and it's free. Well Fireslash requested OGG format at first. And the OGG track was converted from the mp3. So sure, no problem. Where do you want me to drop the file?

BUMP! This joint is looping non-stop in my favorite playlist, but that abrupt ending make me crazy. Robotaki, where are you? Time to be a man and do the man's job: finishing what you've started. Please, the good people of Kamiki... er, OCR need you to complete this great remix!

Trust me, after the fiasco of FF Spirit Within, the mighty SquareEnixEidosTaito would NEVER take the risk of a commercial disaster again. FFVII was an unanimous success, and most fans were happy and wanted some more. Thus movies, sequels, prequels, spinoff, goodies... But FFVIII divided the fans so much, that I feel it would be risky for SE to attempt a revival. That's a shame, but I'm afraid that's also the grim commercial reality of it.

What the hell happened? Sound card issue?

The Back Horn - Requiem (from the Casshern movie soundtrack)

That reminded me of Steel Saviour, which was inspired by Einhander.

Those are pretty rare these days you know. Hopefully, the 'forum' will turn out to be the best choice. Perhaps you could put the request for critics in the first post. Now it's an important part of your project too. I would gladly help you looking out for willingful reviewers, but I doubt they would be charmed by my inexistant star power... Guess I should get back to my Ganon remix now. Anyway, I hope this project can gather some good & knowledgeable people to help with the critiques.

Yeah this is some kind of a 'Begining' piece, as the new title hints. And you know you can increase the volume in the player right? Cause in my set, this sounds loud as hell! Roger that, thanks for you input! Also, note that there is absolutely no velocity, automation, or elaborate effects of any kind. The mix is as raw as it gets... Well, maybe not THAT raw, but you get the picture. Good ideas, I'm on it. And with a lenght of 1:42, the mix could really use some variation parts I guess. Thanks for the positive comment & support too. I got a lot of work to do.

A friend once tried to convert me to it, pretexting that I would be able to switch from Sonar in a breeze. I sensed the set-up, so I took a step back, thus avoiding a certain artistic death for sure. Joke aside, the interface looks slick and polished, and the controls seem rather intuitive. Perhaps that's just an impression... but Steinberg are usually pretty sharp.

And I thought the older project was kick-ass! I hope this one gets completed, cause on paper this has the potential to be one of the most violent album ever known to man.

Rest assured: there's nothing wrong with using the good old fashioned folders... for us geezers! I'll second Prophet: Songbird would definitely change a tedious nightmare into a pleasant dream. Try it and see for yourself, it's free. You can run it on Win, Mac & Linux, so no excuses.

Here's an arrangement of the ' ' from Rockman & Forte (also known as Megaman & Bass).It's an orchestral piece with some electronica elements, meant to be an overture, a prelude to a new journey. Latest update: New Beginning New Path v9 Suggestions and constructive criticism are most welcome. -------------------------------- Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and showed support so far. I've come a long way and learned a lot in the process. There's still work to be done before I can sub this arrangement, but I just wanted to say: you guys rock!

Thanx Millipede. Yeah the original voices were a pain in the arse to denoise. Happy to see some support for the next releases. I'll need some! Anyway, I realized the album was pretty large, so here's how I'm planning to do it: I'm going to remix most of the 40 tracks, that's for sure. But as I'll probably start a lot of WIP every week, to finish, schedule & release tracks on my own on a regular basis would be impossible. I have to consider at least normal life+work time, and be realistic about this. So I'll post preview instead. By that I mean sneak peaks, so you can hear whats coming next and follow the 'project', if you want to. And I'm planning to finally release the whole when it's complete, before the end of the year as I said. Then maybe create a proper thread / website also. Bottom line, this album will be remixed! So hopefully see you next week.

Don't worry about the next Tomb Raider... Tetsuya Nomura will probably be in charge of the character design. So you should be playing Kingdom's Raider soon.

I guess now you won't be able to fool anyone else with your dirty Nuendo tricks Mr Nekofrog.

That's a tricky situation indeed... Even in the thread, tracks don't seem to receive a LOT of criticism. The main problem of leaving the tracks feedback to the forum readers, is that it depends a whole lot on if they are going to read, listen and be willing to review. There's an awful lot of projects running together, and unfortunately the average length of a day is still only 24h for everyone. Each person is gonna pick the one game or style he or she is fond of, and maybe not bother with the rest. That's why generally, the rating of the tracks for a project is a join effort between the team leader (or album director) & the co-coordinators. Sometimes the director can prohibit posting tracks on the thread or WIP section, for the sake of keeping it fresh & contained, in case something happens... And by what I've read, it often does. Bottom line, the solution may involve selecting a small group of knowledgeable and dedicated people to assist you in this task. Plan regular (net-)meetings to check the progress and fix the next milestone. Like some kind of production comitee I guess. This may seem big in proportions, but I assure you it only requires a little bit of organisation... and time of course! But it can help you bring together the whole thing and motivate people toward the same goal.

Some people clearly mistook the compo for a Super Metroid speedrun... How is it even possible to make a song in 15 minutes, that's insanely fast! You can't even load a proper VST in that amount of time. And no one warned me about the mean Mr Nekofrog. He scared the hell out of me so bad.

Now where on earth did I put my invitation card to enter this one?

As promised, here's my second remix for Dynamite Headdy. The original track is 'South Town Theme'. Hope you'll enjoy it! EDIT: song's time is up at host. But it will be included in the album!

Got that right! I got a suggestion to make: between songs, you have a little talk. I heard you playing some short musical jingle (zelda I think) before and after. But while you're talking, there's no background music at all. That seemed a bit odd, and sounded more like a talk show all of a sudden. Implementing that imo could help preserving the mood, and smoothly transition to the next song. Other idea: I don't know if it's technically possible, but it could be really cool if you mixed the music, like any other radio station, crossfade and all. Of course these are only my suggestions...

Hitoshi Sakimoto - Ruin (from Radiant Silvergun soundtrack)

I not sure about that, but let's keep an open mind just in case. Well, there's a lot of great & very helpful tutorials and guides on OCR. I used some myself & that saved me a lot of time. But if that project ( and the love for Treasure games) manages to motivate you enough to start at remixing, that would be fabulous! Next track should be up on friday night, if all goes well. Please keep in mind that this is a very modest personal project, as I'm still learning lots of things. Hopefully, that'll be the best way to figure things out while having fun ...by covering almost 40 tracks by myself!

Any compo planned this week?
