A quick question.. I tried googling it, and I'm afraid I still don't completely understand. What does "processing" mean? I hear it everywhere on OCR, and I feel like I have a general idea of what it means, but I've never been completely sure for some reason. Like how halc said he used tons of processing on his last posted mix "The Great Blizzard of 9X."

Yay, more ProtoDome to add to my list of musicz. Downloading now. I'm gonna try and buy it later once I find a bank to put my 8 dollars in. Oh yeah, and I love the artwork. I don't know what her name is but she's pretty rad if you ask me.

Are you kidding me? You finally submitted this? Super awesome. This is one of my favorite halc tracks and i love its finally on ocr. Merry christmas everyone.

I figured so I just saw the sirnuts update and thought for a second , "wait is it even on?" Thanks.

So I'm just curious, the song TGH sent you for is definitely on the project, right? The one me and him did for Smurfs Nightmare? I haven't seen it on the list for a while, so I was kind of curious on it's status on the project.

Hi. So this was my contribution the Mega Man 9 Concrete Man Remix Album, which I tried out for OCR. It didn't get accepted unfortunately. Here's the version on the album: Update 2: http://www.box.com/s/b8m6ecan65clrpas36u4 LATEST UPDATE: https://app.box.com/s/uslv4x4h12i0e72hrcozfmaya8y25o6m Read latest post for details. here's the source gosh i want to get rid of these youtube boxes

Typical tgh song. Why don't you try doing manly metal music or something are you scared Jk I like this song for real. I wouldn't expect that source to work well for this genre but it does.

I'm actually a huge fan of this. The reverbed drums mixed with the orchestra + guitar remind me a lot of the Super Smash Bros. Melee soundtrack. Like, a lot. That's a good thing though, I love Melee's music. Good job on this. A+

No real title yet I'm posting this so hopefully I can get feedback as I work on this song. The problem with my last sub to OCR was that the sound wasn't "full" enough, so I worked on that. The sections are kind of cluttered together. I'm going to be sections in between, but I haven't been able to put any ideas down yet. Haha.

Happy leftovers week!

That'd be number 5 by Jeff Ball.

Going to hang out with a friend tonight. He has the game on the 360, I can't wait to see it in action. Super excited. edit: that was the most facebook post I've ever posted on OCR.

I've still yet to get into Pokemon Black like I thought I would, but sign me up for a 3rd gen remake. As long as it has the battle frontier from emealdy, which stands out imo as the most fun area in any Pokemon game ever, ill never need to pick up another Pokemon game again. Typing this from phone so I kinda gave up on capitalization.

I just saw this post. I agree with it big time though. Seriously - great soundtrack. If you could do this, that would be freaking awesome. I never played the Turok game for the GB, but I learned a lot about 8-bit composition just from listening to him on youtube. He knew what he was doing. Also I messaged WillRock. If he's ok with it then I'm on the project I guess. If I am, I probably won't be able to start until next week 'cause I have a crapload of non-vg related music projects to do, but they aren't actually full songs so I should be able to do them in no time. Edit: willrock got back with, said I need to work on quality before I can jump on. But Ill try my damned hardest to get on this thing. Good luck with getting this project started. Im super pumped

Actually, all of it's music (from what I remember, except fanfares) was original. It's very unique musically, as it's pretty dark and eerie (compared to the other games). I'll pump out something awesome for you. Also, fun fact: the creator of the series, Gunpei Yokoi, also created the Game Boy. He was a genius.

If it's alright, I would like to claim the Metroid series (Metroid 2: Return of Samus to be exact). It's one of my favorite series ever, so I'd love to pay tribute to it through this album. I'm not sure when I'd be able to start on the song, but probably relatively soon.

I love this so much. It is conservative like you said, but I love the feel it gives. This was one of my favorite songs from the earthbound series, and you did it justice. Sounds like it's coming straight from a Wii version of the game. I'm definetly going to relax to this later. Thanks.

My personal opinion, if you want to get better at making music, then do what you think will help you reach that goal. If it takes learning music theory, then go for it. There are other things you can try, most of them have already been suggested in this thread - but the one that's most important in my opinion is listening. I've learned most everything I've learned so far just from listening to music, and trying to recreate the sounds. Feedback is helpful (extremely helpful, actually), but people aren't going to want to always comment on your music, so listen. Only go for feedback whenever you're happy with what you've got. Then take the criticisms, and go back to listening. Really helps. Learning music theory and creating original music can help, but it really comes down to how much you care about music and how far you want to take it. If you're just trying to get on OCR, it's (obviously) not required. Also, ask questions. If you can't figure it out yourself, or google isn't helping, ask questions. No shame in it. That's all I have to say. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. Really thank you. To be honest, I like the idea of Z3ta+, but the idea of a hardware synthesizer is sounding VERY good to me for some reason. I'm just gonna keep looking up videos of them for a while. I checked all the suggestions though. They're all pretty expensive (except for the software), and being in school full time right now, the chances of getting one doesn't look so great, but once I can get a job, I'm going to invest into them. I'll just be patient and do whatever I can with what free synths I have now (which is basically 3xosc and synth1 )

Hey everyone. For some random reason, I've been listening to a few synth pop songs on repeat lately, and have just had the urge to dive into this genre. There's just so many things that go into it that I know if I applied myself to it I would have a lot of fun with it. I've been listening to a lot of stuff on OCR (like this) and a couple of J-pop songs (by fellow remixer Hyadain and song.)Anyways, I think I'd love to do things like this. I've been wanting to learn and apply synthesis for a long time, but most everything I try I get bored of quickly and move on (mostly with hard techno songs). But I do like creating and arranging catchy melodies and applying lots of different instruments and effects. So yeah, if anyone has suggestions for good samples or things to start with I'll listen (I use FL Studio) Also if you have any music or artists you'd suggest to someone like me, I'm all ears. I'm not completely new to the genre, but I'm sure there's a lot of songs out there I could take tips from.

did not except. Concrete man is officially the best robot master on OCR.

Great way to start of the album. I was really excited to see Flexstyle participating in the album. Since he's one of my favorite electronic artist on this website (maybe evar) I knew I'd like this before I even heard it. The song works for this genre. It's a little short, but it gets the job done, and again, starts off the album in an excellent way. Can't say anything bad about it really. I love it.

I haven't been able to listen to this until just now (because my phone doesn't like zip files for some reason. So far my favorites are Flexstyles (no surprise there) and Inflatable Arsons. They all freaking rock though. I'm freaking excited (and extremely surprised) I got to be a part of an album of this amazing quality. Wow. I can't wait to get back home to listen to them on some good headphones and not crappy labtop speakers. If I get a chance to, I'll edit this post with more stuff once I'm done listening to all of them. Seriously, y'all rock! <3

Dont have internet, so just now downloading this. Excited like crazy. Especially for flexstyle and sir nuts tracks Im starting to wish I spent a little more time on my track. I was listening to it a couple of days ago and thought of a lot of ways I couldve upped it quality wise. I can still hopefully try and get it to ocr standards down the road sometime. If anything.

I started with orchestral epics in mario paint.
