    What's the deal on remixing remixes?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Well...

    So, you can, but it still has to pass all other standards AND stand apart enough from both the original source material and the arrangement being arranged. That includes little-to-no direct sampling of the original audio, i.e. you can't do traditional remixing/sampling.

    If you were to base something off an existing VGM arrangement that's not an OC ReMix, similar rules apply, but we do have at least one.

    (GarA)Sooooo, If I did Epic Melodic Death Ska versions of all of Mcvaffe's remixes they would still pass?

    (GarB) Answer: No they wouldn't because you suck Gar.

    No really, this might be a good idea for a future compo. ;-)

    Bass Guitar Recommendations.

    Yeah a Fender bass is a solid choice for anyone.

    I would however say that the Ibanez SR series posted above are incredibly easy to play. I'm terrible at bass, but they feel really familiar to me as a guitarist.

    I played the SR600 in a store and was pretty impressed with it. Currently it's at the top of the list for my future music related purchases.

    I just wish they would change the "Slim & Fast" marketing BS. The slim I get but the fast? Not unless you lube up the back of the neck and the strings, and quite frankly i don't have the time to give an oriental massage to my basses every time i play. :-P

    I can't believe i'm about to recommend an Ibanez but you might want to check this one out.

    Might just be what you are looking for.

    Can't go wrong with a Fender Jazz either.

    What styles of music were you looking to do?

    Oh and I saw what you did thar with your post. :)

    A Sonic CD album, anyone? (Generating interest)

    Just what the heck is going on with this thing OCR? :) Seems like there is plenty of support judging by how many threads get started about sonic cd every couple of months.

    I've had some ideas that i've been kicking around but I haven't completed anything for this yet. I'm all for Rexy and Superior heading this thing but are there any new details from the potential directors? Should we get something together for an audition?

    In return for your time I'll give you... nothing.

    Like everything else in music, It's all how you phrase it.

    In return, for your time, I'll give you... nothing.

    In return for your, time I'll give, you...nothing

    In return for your time, I'll give you! nothing!

    Problem solved and now back to work! :)

    Dont mean to sound like a douche, i'm always thrilled to see programming talent seeking out the community here. Just remember when trying to sell your idea you need to make it seem worthwhile. A little humility can go a long way but too much will keep people from having faith in you.

    The Golden Age That Never Was

    So much whining about the present. Several thousand years of it is too long. :)

    Yes music is becoming a commodity. Looking at my collection of stuff that i have now would have taken several life times to acquire if everything stayed the way it was 15-20 years ago. Record Stores? Only being exposed to what's available? Glad that crap is over.

    Now people can do music in their living room watching youtube videos and playing with their daws. Just so long as no one loses appreciation for good art i don't see what the problem is.

    This is really just about people who can't adapt to changing times complaining about not being able to make money. You don't have to be paid for your music to mean something these days. Something i've had to come to terms with myself over the last few years, which is why i'm going back for another degree. I'm bummed i couldn't make a life out of music but as long as i have time and resources to work on the things i like to do then i'm happy.
