I see you didn't put anything on mine for some reason, but I'll fill it in for you. "Repetition, repetition, oh, and more repetition." Figured it was better than leaving the track unfinished though. I still like the end result, and will post it here if I decide to work on it anymore. edit: oh my gosh didn't even realize how crowded this track is. geeze this is bad.

To be honest, I was just copying and pasting for the last few hours. Won't really be able to do much else so just went ahead and sent it in. I was hoping to incorporate my opponents theme a little bit better... but I think this will work fine.

Sounds like y'all are coming along nice. Might or might not even get my track in at this point... this week has been super stressful working with very irritating clients. Been busy with some very hard labor and long 13 hour days for the past 4 days so that have also drained my creative brain too :/ Here's to hoping I can finish up something between now and 10:00, though.

Similar things happening here, actually . Just had a job pop up about 5 hours ago, and so now I'm gonna be in Chicago tonight, and will be there until Saturday. I'll have to stay super focused on this song late at night while in that hotel room . But It's already about 30% done, and really once I hit that 50% mark, it'll be smooth sailing from there since almost everything is just production with this song. It's totally different from anything else I've done, and hopefully it won't disappoint anybody who was expecting my usual style and genre.

This summer was pretty meh in terms of shows anyways, so don't fret if you don't get to them. Kokoro Connect and Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita were the most notable things IMO. I heard Tari Tari was pretty good too. Sword Art Online is the most popular thing right now, but I kind of feel like it's a sort of so bad it's good thing. I don't believe people actually like that show. Unless they're just watching it for the MMO nostalgia or whatever. It's still bad. And if you ever got around to Yuru Yuri season 1, don't don't watch S2 for your own sake because you will probably risk having a heart attack on about 20 different occasions. But if you're willing to take the risk, the show is actually really good. Super funny too. S2 beats S1 by a long shot. I'll go as far to say it's a better show than K-ON! in terms of slice of life (But I'm a big fan of yuri humor, too..) Oh yeah, and don't expect too much from the Little Busters anime lol. I mean, there's a chance for it too be super good just because the source, but knowing J.C. Staff it'll end up being "decent" and no more. I don't trust them.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the sailing in Wind Waker yet. Even though I liked it personally. But if you didn't like the sailing you probably wouldn't have liked the game. In Metroid Prime, I don't know why, but I absolutely hate hate hated going back to the Phazon Mines to 100% things. The first time you go through that place and fight the boss is fine, but the area becomes boring fast IMO.

My gosh, I'm already making quite a bit of work with this song. But I haven't found a way to integrate my foes theme yet, hopefully something will work. Funnily enough, considering my usual style and the fact that Frost Walrus is a freaking chill theme, this is gonna be one of my most intense songs yet. Kind of trippy, too. Having a lot of fun right now.

Any anime you guys looking forward to this Fall? I'm super looking forward to the Madoka Magica movies if I'm right in that they're airing this Fall (it might just be in theaters, though). Hopefully Little Busters will be good too. J.C. Staff, at least lately, has only been making somewhat decent to just plain horrible stuff, and I don't expect that to really change just because they're animating a notable Key novel. Robotic;Notes is probably the coolest thing on the list in terms of series, though. I love Steins;Gate so far. Here's a chart for those curious, though I'm not sure of how good this one is seeing as I don't use Crunchyroll for anything at all. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/08/07/preliminary-fall-2012-anime-chart

Get ready, Xarnax. No holdin' back! By the way, your theme kicks ass. If I can do what I'm hoping to with this song, that bass is gonna be FUN to play with. : D

Man, didn't expect this start up 'till next week. I am ready to mix!

I'm going to start doing that. Sending in as many songs as possible. Even my first few ones from like 2 years ago. Hell, might as well start sending the judges originals with some random source and a crazy source breakdown to up mah troll level. Thanks for the tip Snappleman.

Thanks for telling us that Ectogemia. I'll be sure not to underestimate you during the compo.

So that's the name of the game? I swear my sister is addicted to this thing, and I see everybody playing it. Could have sworn it was just like the new Angry Birds or something - had no idea it was an older game. The glitching is done very well here, I can see how this sort of nods to Mazedudes track. The glitching on the drums is especially cool. The best part about this track IMO is the sound design. I super dig all the synth and drum choices. The arrangement is great too. Not familiar with the source, but everything sounds fine here, and each section melds together pretty well. I like the way this song develops, too. Very nice drum breakdown after the middle section, by the way. I'm a super big fan of well done drum sections. : D Check this one out!

Yes! When I finally saw Red Rescue Team under the OCR's game list, I was really curious about which one was gonna be posted first. This is a great first remix from the series, the song is absolutely gorgeous. IMO, the length and repetition fit well with the mood this track creates. This song really takes you for a long journey through the sky. It also has a beat that melds very well with the mood, too, which is awesome for the dance floor. Keep flyin' high TGH! And please keep submitting mixes to OCR (even though you already have like, 15 kajillion accepted already )

Don't limit yourself to just one genre. I do think there is that one thing that you should be better at than everything else you do, and that should be your "thing", but also make sure you branch out and try new things whenever you get the chance. Not only is it fun, but you learn so much. edit: but if you're curious on what your "genre" is, then just experiment. it might take a long time to find it, or maybe you'll find it super quick, but once you do find it, then i'd recommend you'd do that thing a whole bunch, and then focus on branching out that one thing to make it something truly unique. i wish i'd done that, instead i'm stuck with knowing how to do a lot of different things, but not really being a "master" or whatever at a single on of them. but that is not to discourage you from trying different genres often because doing that whole bunch is super important too

No offense to the compo but I think I'll probably keep my sig as is. I really like Sanae : D It is a freaking huge sig, too.

Everyone one of you Expect to get frosted.

I don't get all the hate on the youtube comments, this song is awesome! They say the source is unrecognizable, but if the judges say it's medley like, then it's probably conservative. At least you'd think so. Love folk music so I'm all over this one. Maybe the mixing of the guitar could have been a little better, but the song sounds awesome other wise! This is cleverly done and super catchy. OCR needs more and more stuff like this, for sure.

These two are super nice.I love, love love love it when there's a huge yet fast up and down roll on the scale, especially in cutesy pop and chiptune music. It sounds super cheesy and corny, but is candy to my ears : D. I love it in dramatic sections of songs (like the bridge or something) when there's a crazy cool arp playing. Especially with piano and harps. Also I love a consistent and clever use of the ride bell. Oh and it is the best thing ever when someone plays crazy notes and progressions with the bass and still having it sound good and backing the music very well.

Just searched the entire sheet, and realized that I was the only one that picked Frost Walrus as one of their picks. It's because I'm so edgy and cool.

I'll be done mastering and releasing an EP here very soon and would love some at least decent album artwork for it. I don't really need anything fancy, and if you're willing to do something then I can discuss more details about it over AIM or Skype, or over the OCR PM system if you prefer that. I'm not looking specifically for drawn or designed artwork - if you're good with photoshop and would like to put a picture together that fits what I'm going for, then that'll be fine too. Drawn art would be nice, but it's not necessary. I'm not asking for anything too fancy of course because I don't have much to compensate with - the EP will be free - but I do want something nice to go with the music so I'm willing to compensate with a little bit. (we can discuss that too) If you wish to do something hit me up on my wall or via PM first in case I don't get on skype or AIM, with your contact info of course. Thanks!

So now the brackets are full I guess : O Hell yeah! Lol @ how Willrock joined. But this makes the compo that much more interesting. Let's kick ass everyone. : D Just not mine...
