I appreciate dragonavenger for the cool, smart, and awesome person that she is and not for her money. I promise.

This is very good for me. I've never really been into RPG's until recently (except for maybe Pokemon and Final Fantasy X until it stopped working on me half way through the game.. that being the last time I played a true JRPG about 10 years ago) I played Chrono Trigger for my first time a couple months ago and it was freakin' awesome. And just today I beat Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (and I just ordered the original ToS in mail today, so hopefully that comes in by next week ) So yeah, this Xenoblade game might very well be the next thing on my list to play. (Either that or FF6) It looks super different from most other JRPG's, but as long as it has a focus on a good character driven plot, then I can't wait for it. : D

https://www.box.com/s/9e6a7c6063bad34b6205 Right, so I have an update for this... and unfortunately the arrangement is still not finished. D: It's so close, but the genre I'm writing this in has made it hard to bring the song full circle. I do want to post this update mostly because I have gotten much further with the song. I upped the kick some (it's still mostly in the bass frequencies.. I couldn't find a way to put it in the mid range and make it work), fixed the snare a little bit, and added the hat patterns like Jamison mentioned. The little solo that finishes what I have off might have a different lead.. or maybe something added there to kind of support the lead because listening to it now, it doesn't work entirely by itself. I plan on going strange to an upped key version of the main melody (starts at 1:28 after the drum roll at the end... having another drum roll bring the full kit back in, and finishing off the song with that. But making that work is proving to be a little bit difficult.. hopefully I can at least finish that today.. I'm not using to making all these bleeps and bloops xD After that I'm going to probably do a lot of production work.. mostly on making the song loud without having it sound weird or over compressed. tl;dr it's almost done

I didn't notice this post before, but thanks man! I love the music of the series, always fun to listen to all the remix albums out there by doujin circles. I love collaborating so that sounds like it'd be a fun idea. Cool idea dude : D also thanks, your entry was pretty freaking rockin also. it had to be to make me vote it over a brandon strader song. (because mr. strader makes pretty good stuff yo)

24 effects actually, so there's no confusion i actually tried remixing this song a while back.. made it into a trip hop song.. but i didn't end up finishing it because it's just a super hard song to remix. though it's something that i do want to finish, if not just restart all together with a new piano sample i have. take this barracks settlement remix though: https://www.box.com/s/lp9yr0fdaunyk0b4obnd and you can listen to the wip for the ending remix if you want to https://www.box.com/s/mmp3dxofbkm457szb7ry basically what i want to do with it.

I must have this. Whatever the cost.

Hard choice with SuperiorX and Rexy, because I preferred the production values of Rexy's song, but SuperiorX imo had a superior arrangement (at least one that I enjoyed a little more). Phonetic Hero and Amphibious' match was also tough. Went with Phonetic Hero mostly 'cause I like da chips. : D

Are physicals being shipped out for those who pre-ordered? Just making sure there's nothing extra I have to do to get it.

Thanks for the comment guys. I put in a little progress update (really not much has changed). The wub section you recommended, I actually added in last night after posting. I'll be doing the rest of the stuff y'all recommended too. Trying to find a new kick is gonna be the next step, but I think from this point I'm going to try to finish out the arrangement before I get distracted with too many things. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll have a good, finished arrangement.

Ignore that little string stab at the beginning, will of course fix that. Original: Remix: https://www.box.com/s/9e6a7c6063bad34b6205 I'm really posting this more because this is the first time I've ever tried something like this, and would like some advice as I make this. I have the arrangement pretty much stuck in my head, so that's not too much a concern (I don't think). Soundscape design, instrumentation, and production (especially on how to make things "loud) are my big problems with this one. I'm used to doing very chill, laid-back, verby stuff, so this something way different. Any advice from people who are used to doing this kind of stuff is appreciated. Hope you enjoy what little I have so far. : D edit: I feel like I'be made pretty good progress with this and am putting it up for mod review. I've spiced up the drums and also followed some of TheGuitahHeroes recommendations on skype'' so now too see what a mod thinks about this. Thanks for all the help guys so far guys.

Yes. Big K brand is legit. And inexpensive. But I'm more for Dr. K anyday.

https://www.box.com/s/8023763de5e5c2f50d85 Here's my remix of it. To be honest, the arrangement of the song here is pretty liberal, as the song is as a whole, but if you like kind of chill stuff then here you go. I'll probably be updating it in the future and might make the sources more recognizable and stuff, so you might like that more.

It was there more to kind of fill in space, it didn't really come to mind to change it up during the song, I just kind of let it loop throughout the song. In my mind it was kind of acting like a bassline in a sense, since the song itself doesn't really have bass except for the arpeggio and the kick. It just wasn't really in the bass frequency range That was kind of my thought process - it was used more to fill out space though. And I thought it was catchy.

These last two weeks have been pretty crazy. Pretty much no time to do anything on OCR except through my phone. (at least until yesterday) wever this week I'm pretty sure I'll be back into voting. Can't wait to hear the songs - probably tonight.

A piece I did back around February or March, now with a few production upgrades. I was going for something happy/cute, and I think I was influenced by a lot of songs you might here for the OP's/ED's in some slice of life anime. Then the whole song kind of gets trippy towards the end. Probably one of my favorite original songs in terms of arrangement / melody. This is also my longest song ever, so that's something cool I guess. Box: https://www.box.com/s/qhfu5hbfskog0z66239m Youtube: Please comment/critique/whatever. I'd like to hear your thoughts in case I do stuff like this in the future. : D

http://soundcloud.com/4vari I recommend this guy. You can find really good stuff from him.

Can't wait to see the results. Even though I've already said that I wouldn't be able to do this week even if I won, I'd like to see how I matched up against AMT's freaking awesome entry. : D edit: it was a pretty close round. good battle

And now suddenly votes are coming in like crazy. Got a feeling this is gonna be kind of close.

I'm reminded of Coldplay in a way. Very relaxing stuff here. I dig the guitar a lot. Please do make a comeback, this is good music.

Colosseum does need remixes. This right here, easily one of the best VG tunes evar, even considering how short it is.

And done! Ordered the physical copy. Super excited to get this thing. : D

You guys can def expect me to finish my song in the future. I really dig the song so I want to make it as good as it can be, by adding details, upping production and loudness a ton, and making the arrangement a bit more fun. Look out for that version in the future. Really hoping to get the best out of it

Finally gonna be able to start listening to the tracks now. Can't wait to hear them. edit: you freaking rocked my socks AMT. : D
