I'm personally not an AW fan, but Dom you already know that you've got my sword (and my horns... and my AXE!) if needed.
I'd join an AW project if I hadn't so much work to do. AW's soundtrack is really awesome, and needs remixes (oh yes, I'm responsible for the Sturm remix on BA3 lol).saw the thread title and you were quite instantly the first person I thought of.

Big ups, huge props, and muchos congratsiosos..... or whatever, something congratulatory in Spanish...!!
Though, I told this to XPRT once I saw the news: I'm not even a little bit surprised or impressed at all. Looking at those three names, my reaction was immediately "pfft.... what took so long? 'bout daaayum time!"
the only problem I have so far is that the Judges Decisions have already been moving incredibly fast. REALLY fast. As in it looks like I can no longer depend on sporadically sending perfectionist quickfixes anymore during the long wait.
oh well, the times are a-changin.

Not necessarily concrete or constructive feedback, but just stopping by to say that I always love your Sonic arrangements. Super dope as usual, and even though you tackle sources that have been interpreted many times you manage to come up with unique and memorable approaches.
-
all of my yes.
inb4 semantics, technicalities, gray areas, devil's advocates, misuse etc.
but I back this completely. tons of positives to this, and that shirt vs. wallet example is right on the money.

This is pretty much how I always respond when I see/stumble upon new music from this guy.

got no money right now, but this is in my backlog and I'll be bumpin it for sure. so happy to know that you're still rockin those phhhaaat beats and ruthless basslines.
EDIT: seriously, "Once More" is deeeeeeeelicious.

some of you mofos are making it sound like it's an apocalyptic warzone out there.

in my humble opinion this is one of, if not the, sexiest and slickest OCR album art ever. For you to even *consider* creating or using different artwork is heartbreaking. dafuq you thinkin? look at that design, man.
seconding the trace function. it's a good thing that the design is minimal also so that it shouldn't be too much work to re-create it and then copypaste the color palette. Probably can't be of assistance myself, but I'll ask around.

a listening party is exactly what it sounds like.
a party where everyone just stands around and... listens?
count me the heck out.. lame hipster get-togethers...

wow, HUGE props, man! great work, and congrats on the stellar opportunity.
already going into my list of favorite TEDtalks.

**CAUTION/WARNING: incoming serious over the top fangasm alert**
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH BOOOOiii!!
I've been waiting a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time for this baby to get posted. When I first heard it back in the SZRC I immediately fell in love (and it's a really good thing that I lost early on in the compo, because I probably would've been to discouraged or mesmerized to want to follow up with this
). Super sexy and silky smooth, and I don't even know where to begin with that gorgeous trumpet solo.
I could go on and on and on talking about good things for this mix but I'll just leave it at "congrats" to the both of you, and I hope to hear many more things from ya whether it's OCR-related or personal projects as well.
-
maybe at some point that Sonic CD album and that SM64 album will release and people will hear me and love me and be coming to my doors begging for more sexy music.
spoiler alert: this guy suxx0rz hard.

hey boss, sorry for the epic novels... again... but please check your PMs (specifically the second, most recent one I've sent to you) to let me know if we're going to be good. I know we're cutting it close, and since life happened/happens it took a while for me to get back in the motion of it, but there's just a few more deal breakers I want to nail down before we call it day and I send you the final wavs.

stuff
as I said in the video software thread (*shakes fists in air*) you kids are in a good time. When I was your age we had Fruity Loops, not any of these fancy FL studio techno stuff to make the music-making process so much easier and efficient.
Plus, G-Mixer... personally, I wish I was just a few years younger again because if I took advantage of some of the opportunities I had when I was a 'teen' I'd probably be a little bit better off right now, but that's another story. Nonetheless, I get what you're saying and why you're angry, I just see it differently (and I think anyone who is over 25+ ish can back me up on this) because as much as it doesn't seem this way, the world (ESPECIALLY music and the fine arts field) will really go out of their way to give younger people lots of incentives, as opposed to us gramdpas and grandmas... who are only a few years passed the mark.
kind of been eyeballing this thread, and this one ----> http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=45163 as well but I kind of wanted to sit back and ponder other people's viewpoints before throwing mine in.
cutting it short (since I'll eventually get around to stating my experience/pov in that other thread), I really think that some of you are thinking just a liiiiiittle two hard about all of this music stuff, and this is coming from someone who sometimes spends months at a time at a song. If you really, really, really enjoy something (in this case, music), and you have enough grit to recognize where there's room for improvement, and you just cut out the bullshit with expectations or "how the system works" or formulas, etc., I really think you'll eventually get into a proper flow where everything works out.
I don't have a record deal or a huuuge list of contacts and a fancy portfolio (although I am in the process of trying to make my online material more... 'professional-looking' XD ), so you can take all of this with a grain of salt, but coming from someone who basically came out of his mother's womb with a guitar pick and spent years classically trained to some degree, I can say that I personally made my best stuff when I was younger and I first started recording. Sure, I'm much cleaner and better at presenting my ideas on a production-level, but honestly when I was younger I wasn't thinking "oh, should I use a tritone substitution here and then run a bitcrushed filter sweep and then automate the blah blah blah, etc.;" I wasn't focused on tone, who was listening or giving a fuck about my music, or even my 'age.' I was just putting stuff out and having fun, and honestly it's only within recent years that I've gone back into this mind set of remembering to have fun instead of constantly worrying if I'm at the prime age, if I can make a living off of this, if I'm selling out and being a square or if I'm reinventing the wheel, etc.
I know a lot of people around here will often cite that getting some music theory and production tutorials under your belt is where to go, and I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have the fundamentals down like the back of your hand... but from somebody who's had years of practice/experimenting/wtfohgawdcrankeverythingupto11 I can surely say that sometimes it doesn't hurt to stop thinking too hard about age, 'talent,' etc.
NOT being idealistic here, it's the truth. It's never too late and unless you are unfortunately a vegetablized human living off of tubes while confined to a hospital bed I am certain that there is NO excuse, limit, or reason to fret this. I'm reeeeeeaaaally not trying to be insensitive, I just think that sometimes around here and with other creative outlets people have a tendency to self-deprecate a little too hard or prevent their own selves from any potential.
we can't all be rock stars = / = if we're not born with it or we started late we might as well fuck off.
EDIT: case in point... when I first stumbled across people like Sungha Jung or Tony Royster Jr.'s childhood videos I quit taking guitar and drums seriously and said "why bother." but then I remembered how much I love music and how no matter what as long as I'm enjoying myself it's better then worrying or comparing myself constantly (outside of motivation, of course).
double EDIT: I think in the Balance and Ruin interview/chat video a while ago L99 specifically said that he started remixing, and playing guitar in particular, later in the game (compared to everyone else at least), but look at where he is now... makin dem sexy guitar stuff like it's nothin.

^as far as beatsmiths are concerned, this boss and Radiowar are in my top favorite list in the vgm/anime Hip Hop community, really.
I've already told Rukunetsu a bajillion million zillion Krillin times in person how much I love his stuff, so even if I don't comment he should already know that I dig just about all of his stuff by default.
Oh, and, uhh... AngelCityOutlaw there's a line... yeeaaahhh... I've already called dibs on collab'ing with him sometime down the road. back of the line.
-
this is some goooooooooooood shiz right here. had my attention immediately in the Preview Trailer and I was excited to check this out upon release. Loving the robotic barfing wub wubz, those are my favorite kind of wub wubz.
-
oooohhhh heeeeellls yeah. Dem chords.
Reminds me of that arrangement Joshua Morse made a while ago, except this is much more in the acid jazz/soul direction. No suggestions or hard complaints from me, I think you know what you're doing so I'll just wait for the next killer draft.

All 54 people who entered should submit their songs to OCR ASAP, all 54 of them, at once! IN ONE DAY! MUAHAHAHAHAHA
^this times a zillion.
I don't even know where to begin. I'm a little overwhelmed and I'm wondering if this was a good move since I have to wake up early in the morning for an interview XD , but overall that was most certainly four hours well spent. Lots of delicious djentlemen riffage, tons of Paul Gilbert and Vai/Satriani wanking, plenty of funk to go around, loads of slick acoustic guitar stuff, and --- of course --- I've always gotta give love for vocal stuff (especially that utterly brutal FF7 track.... oh gawd that was scrumptious as fuuuuuck). lmao@ that one song where the dude just started eating some chips.
yeeeah, I think I can have a pretty good estimate as to the authors behind some entries, but it doesn't effect my impression at all. I enjoyed the whole batch.
however, I'm a little disappointed (and embarrassed at how gullible I was)to know that there isn't actually a 2 hour song. was really looking forward to hearing a 30 minute-long solo or something.
congrats to everyone, it was dope.

dead
use 'dead' and 'project' in the same sentence one more time.... I dare you. I prefer better euphemisms such as "it's undergoing fermentation."
-
^well boss, actually... go ahead and change 'Darkmoocher - Vectorman' to 'Darkmoocher and Timaeus222 - Vectorman.'
me: heeyyy, Timaeus, complex electronic and symphonic stuff is kind of like my Achilles Heel... you think you can help me out? but not just sound upgrade-wise, I want to make this shiz dark and crazy.
Timaeus: lol, cool, gimme a sec.
*a few days later*
Timaeus: Heyyy, I hope you don't mind if I gratuitously shit all over your original idea and proceed to melt faces in the process.
me: O_o
________________________
So, yep. I was going to just restructure my original ideas and get some production help from Timaeus, but I just received a ridiculous monster of a WIP from him so I'm strongly leaning towards a massive overhaul. We're still using my boss sourcers from my old WIPs, so I'll break down the sour usage stop watch when we get a longer demo to showcase. super excited about this one. I don't mean to brag... but you ladies and gents are in for a reeeeeeaaal treat.

The Universe (and natural laws) of the Katamari series. don't ask why, I shouldn't even have to explain why that would be the best thing ever, or at least one of them.
-
how long does it take to activate an account, or can I bypass that to go ahead and submit? I'm trying to contact an administrator but it seems like I have to be registered for that,too... and the site design isn't exactly easy on my eyes so it's hard for me to figure out how to simply submit the daaayum thing.
arrangement = done.
just can't figure out how to submit this thing yet.
EDIT: Thanks, I pm'd you, Hobo. Won't go into reviews at this point, but I'm liking all of the entries so far, and I've got a few favorites picked out already. I just think... I should probably be a little more serious with my arrangement next time. XD

OK. I have decided. Since there are tons of people remixing Xenogears all the time, I have chosen to do a game that has never been covered here. Nobody will ever guess who my villain is. I don't need to worry about anyone taking this one, so I won't even try to claim it until I have a WIP for it.
Hints:
Female, PS3 RPG, not a final boss, can be fought three times. Let's see if anyone can guess before I submit a WIP, which I expect will be this weekend.
EDIT: You fight her four times, not three. Here's another hint: Her name is an Italian word.
Obviously Sheik. nailed it.
Merry Christmas!
