  1. If Microsoft DOES go through with this, it will be a big hit AGAINST Microsoft on the hardware gaming front. Obviously, Gamestamp won't be able to buy - or sell - used 720 games, and because of the LACK of exclusives nowadays, other consoles (PS3/PS4, WiiU, even OUYA maybe?) will get more sales because they won't have the DRM restrictions. Basically, they'll be shooting themselves in the balls if they go through with this - unless Sony and Nintendo follow suit, then it all goes to hell for Gamestamp and the used game industry. is this on Nintendo's part, or the 3rd party developers? Take the new Rayman game (Rayman Legends I think?), which was supposed to come out real soon (April? May?) as a WiiU exclusive, but was bumped back six months by Ubisoft to develop PS3 and 360 editions just so they could make more money off of the PS3/360 markets.
  2. Honestly, I don't know why they'd do this, or even what sort of malformed logic would be required to make this decision. However, I do know that it would definitely hurt companies that do deal with selling used games (Gamestamp), and they would have to stop with that part of their business dealings. It'll just end up being a huge mess for everyone involved
  3. I don't know if I saw this in the Remixing with the Stars rules, but is the choosing of the remix source completely up to the novice, or do we both have to decide together?

  4. for technicalities, does Minecraft XBLA count? Not sure if I want to use this as my source, just wanting to know if it's an open option for me to choose from. EDIT: probably need to get in touch with Flexstyle ASAP too
  5. So, basically we should prepare to update in the near-ish future
  6. close your eyes when you play it. that should work
  7. I guess I'll sign up. For those who are new to this, you want two examples, right? here's one - an instrumental-only version of a remix. Really repetitive and boring IMO without the vocal samples. here's another sample of what I've been doing. It's rather old though, and it could use some better mixing no, you didn't. Read on:
  8. Now Playing: The entirety of Zedd's album Clarity. Personal favorites: and, of course,
  9. Not quite. Basically, you kind of have to be online the same time as Abadoss (and/or Itch maybe). Then you and Abadoss will work out what kind of claim you want terrain-wise, and then he'll try to hunt it down and set you up. Of course it's probably a good idea to pick somewhere with resources, otherwise you'll have a hard time. So, a claim in the middle of a desert is a bad idea.
  10. Does anyone have a rollback to 1.4.5 for the minecraft.jar so I can get on the ocr server? Apparently when I had last updated (whenever that was), I updated to 1.4.6 from a version that was less than 1.4.5 (I think?) EDIT: never mind, found it with a not-so-well-placed google search
  11. That is quite impressive. I need to get back to minecrafting sometime
  12. ...OH MAN. This is absolutely SICK! bLiNd did an amazing job on this song! It's... it's incredible! I just don't know what to say. I honestly don't. Well done Mr. Aguirre. Well done.
  13. While I have to correct Rozo on minor technicalities, mainly being that Mixcraft has a full version at ~$80 (with it's own good share of instruments and effects), and a "Pro Studio" version at ~$150 (which includes another Acoustica product and even more effects and instruments and can basically be considered an "add-on pack" to Mixcraft), I will agree that Mixcraft is mostly entry-level so far, mostly because there are some things in it that aren't quite as sophisticated as other DAWs have (sidechaining, advanced automation editor). However, Mixcraft have some decent instrument samples to use, as well as a pretty large royalty-free sample library to pull from (~6000 samples), and they also have a piano roll (then again, most DAWs do. Some don't, but most do). I suggest you look around and try out some demo modes, see what you like, and what kind of functionality you'll get for the price of the DAW. Keep in mind that some DAWs have ridiculous demo restrictions (FL won't let you reopen files you saved earlier while in demo mode) while others aren't as strict (Mixcraft has a 14-day full-functioning trial, after this period you can't mix down to audio files but there is a workaround for this built into the DAW). Just go find what works best for you
  14. Why hello RD... or AJ... um... not sure which to call you by. Anywho, I'm assuming that this is a thread you'll like to frequent, eh? Since it seems you're new to the whole Forum thing, I guess the basic rule is try to get to know people. Look through the forums and see what interests you in what's been posted, and just go be yourself. Well, there are other actual rules to the forums, but I don't have a handy link sitting nearby. Anyway, Welcome aboard the OCR Forums!
  15. I highly doubt SoundCloud monitors accounts that have been previously shut down. Besides, people can easily change their URLs making it harder to track them. It seems that BeatMagic is already on the track though, so maybe he'll report infringement
  16. Kind of a double post? I don't know if this has been asked yet, but out of curiosity, how were the very first judges picked? Were they hand-chosen by DJP, or was there a "community pick"? and was there a certain criteria used then to decide on the final first judges?
  17. What I really enjoy is how some, if not most of his tracks are practically MIDI rips, and it DEFINITELY shows. Calling them "remakes" doesn't mask the fact that they are MIDI rips.
  18. Nice! How's the Wii U Party game (the one that the Wii U comes with, whatever it's called)? I've heard it's pretty solid. Oh that's right, it's called Nintendo Land. Anyway, how is it?
