Ramaniscence

Yea, I was already thinking this. People are complaining because Soul Calibur doesn't have a more dynamic moves set...well yea but that would make it less and less balanced. That's why you never see something like Mortal Kombat having any real serious tournament play.

WHAT A DEAL?!

It should be considered constantly active as long as people are interested in making songs =p. I haven't really "released" it yet.

New webpage, better hosting, etc, etc all available here: http://remix.thasauce.net/thestoryofhyrule

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh There was a never a Soul Calibur with Cassandra and NOT Sophitia....in fact Sophitia has been in all over them. Nightmare and Seigfriend have VERY different moves. They hardly have anything even SIMILIAR anymore.... Same goes for Cassy and Sophie..... Same goes for Rock and Astaroth...... In fact, those 2 have never really been similiar. Also: RealFolkBlues is going down at M7. I'm gonna be on my a-game FOR SHOW this time.

People cry so much about Sonic not being Sonic 2 now a days it's fucking ridiculous. I don't care fucking fast her is, I don't care how fast he "feels", I don't care if he's in rocket skates, speed shoes, carries a sword, hijacks are car...I really could give a fuck. Give me a game, with a h0t soundtrack, that's fun to play, that has me collecting rings, and I'm happy. I don't care about a classic look, or feel or anything. Make him 3D, make him brown and yellow, I REALLY don't care anymore. AND EVEN IF YOU GOT THAT you people would STILL bitch. This is like the OPPOSITE of what's happening int he MM9 thread where people are complaining about storyline and shit ALREADY. IT'S A CLASSIC FUCKING MEGA MAN. You people cried and cried for it for years, and then UNTHINKABLY it happened and you STILL fucking complain. Also: The render of Sonic alone would take skill to fake. I mean...that lighting and sword are pretty spot on. Not that it still might not be fake, but it'd be a REALLY well done fake.

That reminds me I TOTALLY forgot to mention Dwelling of Duels in the main post D:

I suppose this means we're totally ignoring the whole Rock Band / Sing Star / Karoke Revolution thing, right? Either way, I think pitch and tone something a lot of people just might never get, even with practice. Or...at least get over a LONG period of time as opposed to something that's rhthym based. Also: I know a LOT of IRL drummers that can't play Rock Band's drums worth shit... I've played trumpet for over 12 years now, I did marching band for 4 of those, I've had a love for music my whole life (oh...and I'm not a white person. Does that still count for rhythm?), I'd say rhythm is pretty much embedded into my being, but I wouldn't say that it's made me so good at rhythm based games that I simply can't find them enjoying anymore. I'd infact say if gives me a slight, if any, edge on non-musicians.

Based on the snippit I heard, I could see a problem on BOTH the "direct sampling" side AND the "not enough original tune" side. That sounds kind of...contradictory, I know. Some songs get away with a lot of direct sampling, some songs get away with a LOT of original stuff...I guess you just need to find a happy medium between the 2, and whether or not you've found it, I can't tell from this clip.

True story: before I got DSL, and found OCR, and realized what an MP3 even was, I had HUGE libraries of midis. A lot of stuff from VGMix, but a lot of popular music, too. I wish I still had those folder :-\. People just don't make as many midis now a days with all these MP3s flying around.

I've ALWAYS loved the Banjo Kazooie music. Need moar remickz

Glad to hear everything is turning out Ok We've lost too many good mixers already =\

Wait, what? -____-. I probably COULD but I mean...

I'm still waiting on Shael's fricken new album...which is apparently going to be Grammar Club...which is cool I just want more original Shael songs D:...or ReMixes for that matter. JUST MOAR SHAEL. Preferably an OLR song I went to Nerdapalooza last week and met up with DJ Snyder (of Grammar Club) and myf (Mythril Nazgul...whatever you wanna call him now a days) amongst MANY others (MC Frontalot, ytcrackerz, a bunch of other really amazing nerdcore artists...) and it got me FIENDING. It was also super inspiring . Like a MAGFest for Nerdcore. Actually, there's video now:

Give me a real blurb, so I can add it to the main post

.........it's Mega Man. Not Metal Gear. I mean shit, I STILL don't know how any of the Mario games are connected...I lived. What's wrong with running, jumping, and shooting robots? I mean shit, you should be happy you even GOT this game.

Oops, yea. That >_>

Xenon was nice enough to write up a little blurb for OLR for the main post. Idealy I'd like to get one for VGMix and RKO too.

Yea...I should be allowed to write stuff. I sent the thread to like 5 people to proof read, but most of them said it was fine, or didn't respond at all. It's so hard to get good help these days... I'm up for a rewrite if I could muster up the help. I also want to add a bit on OLR and VGMIx in there too. I just...don't know what to write about them right now. If someone from OLR wants to write up something similiar, I can edit the main post.

Speaking of attractive, I've been making ThaSauce MySpace less cruddy lately: http://myspace.com/thasauce

So, a recent e-email conversation reminded me that there are still a lot of people out there that just don't know that the community is bigger than just OCReMix. Sure some people know about KWED or VGMix, but even less know about R:TS or OLReMix, or even cover bands like ARM CANNON or Powerglove. This is a damn shame. We all owe a lot to djp and OverClocked ReMix for being the foundation of the community, but the community has grown much bigger than just OCR. ==================================== ReMix:ThaSauce A few years ago (a bit over 2 now) I decided it was time for another remixing site. Why? Well VGMix was down until further notice, and the bar at OCR has risen to a higher level. Now here is something that everyone needs to understand, because I don't think a lot of people do: OverClocked ReMix has fairly high standards as far as arrangements and quality goes. That's great. As a result OCR posts nothing but extremely high-quality songs. However, this means that OCR also rejects a lot of songs. It's easy to assume that any song that doesn't get on OCReMix probably didn't get on for a good reason, and from a submission standards viewpoint that is true, but from a general enjoyability standpoint that's not always the case. Sure, OCReMix gets a lot of submissions that are flat out crap, but there are a lot of songs that have small problems that the general listener base probably would overlook, or are too close to the original song and are thus more of a “cover” than a true “arrangement” (or fall somewhere in between). There's a long list of reasons why a song cannot get on OCReMix, and just because they don't get on in no way means they're bad. A good example of this is something close to what I heard on an episode of American Dad: "It's like [your music] is Arrested Development and [OverClocked ReMix] is America. It's not that [your music] is BAD, it's just that [OverClocked ReMix] isn't interested." This is to say, OCR has very specific guidelines that one must meet to be considered a "ReMix." It requires a certain level of arrangement, production, and all that jazz. That's cool, and that's OCR's thing. That's what's given OCR is reputation over the years for it's high quality mixes, and that's what makes sure OCR has a steady flow of good stuff. R:TS simply exists to broaden those guidelines in order to showcase more music. People pay to see live bands who have gotten denied to release their music for free on OCReMix (at least 1 of which is doing a national tour and has been invited to open a show for DragonForce). Professional composers doing covers of their own songs have been rejected from OCReMix. I don't think a lot of people realize this stuff, but it's a reality. Here are a few songs on R:TS that got rejected from OCReMix (or flat out wouldn't get on) for one reason or another: TechnoX - Chrono Cross 'She Was Dreaming in the Rain' http://remix.thasauce.net/song/RTS0040/ http://www.ocremix.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-1752.html Cyan - Duck Tales 'Moon Beats' http://remix.thasauce.net/song/RTS0005/ http://www.ocremix.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-3421.html And some of my favorite examples: Shnabubula - Final Fantasy VI 'Espergirl 2A03' http://remix.thasauce.net/song/RTS0004/ http://www.ocremix.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-4024.html sephfire - Final Fantasy VII 'Speed Limit' http://remix.thasauce.net/song/RTS0042/ http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4518 This is just a few of the songs on R:TS that didn't make it onto OCReMix, and if you're familiar with a lot of OCR's artists you'll see we get a lot of the same ones submitting here. All these songs are really cool and really fun to listen to...they just don't make it on OCR because their mastering isn't good enough, or their instrumentation is off, or (and most often) they're too close to the original tune. I have gotten permission to keep this thread updated with update from R:TS, so I'm going to continue to do so. ==================================== OverLooked ReMiX Back in 2005, sum n00b named Richter posted a thread here on OCR about a parody site for bad/parody music. This was in respect to the competition run by MC and SuperGreenX called BEER (Bloody Ears Extreme Remix) in 2003, in which the object was to make "crappy music" and was rated on "n00bish qualities and amusement factors." A year later, Trenthian created a contest called EAR (Egotistical Execreable Extreme Remix), which was basically a "let's try and revive BEER." It had a rough start, but then picked up and sustained for a year, and then went up in flames in true BEER fashion as the results were never posted for EAR92. Now, this isn't to say that EVERYTHING on OverLooked is horrible and unlistenable to. There are plenty of songs that are enjoyable and just silly, which is exactly what our goal is. We have a "Cream of the Crap" page, listing the highest rated songs we have on the site. (yes, you can rate our songs by the way!) Here's a list of interesting songs you probably didn't know we had: Wizards in my Armor (Warrior in my Longjohns) This is the first version of the OCR version. Toyota Disco What? Liontamer made a remix that isn't Pigskin Power? Da Black Market That's right; this remix is so epic it broke the time-space continuum. yoshi's island moose analoq proves that sometimes, all you need is your mouth to make a catchy, amazing remix. So come on over, and enjoy the blood running from your ears. Also check out OLRmageddon, our only competition and the general store that is keeping our forum board from being a ghost town. ========================= Anime Remix Anime Remix was started back in 2002 by DJ Carbunk1e, now known as Xaleph, and is currently the only site specifically meant for hosting arrangements and remixes of songs from animation around the world. We currently host over 90 [what 90?!?!] remixes and arrangements, and one album. Our most popular event year after year has been the Anime Remix Halloween Remix Competition, hosted by yours truly (soc) where people enter awesome scary tunes. some of our work includes.... anime chipdisk vol 1 Misa No Uta (blackaurora mix) our newest mix [surasshu is awesome] and some... less serious songs (But still good!) Thunder Thunder Thunder Thunder Cats Matt's currently working heavily on the site, while at the same time working as a secret agent for the government and caring for two super-cute half-asian babies, so some things are not solid yet. ========================= Until I can get blurbs: Remix.Kwed.Org - http://remix.kwed.org/ VGMix - http://www.vgmix.com/ Dwelling of Duels @ VGMix - http://dod.vgmix.com/ AmigaRemix - http://www.amigaremix.com/ Powerglove - http://www.vgmetal.com/ OneUp Studios - http://www.oneupstudios.com/ etc, etc, etc... I'm gonna edit this thread with more info later on...since I have school like now. Remember to support your greater arrangement community!

I just caught this while adding people to ThaSauce MySpace. SO amazing.

I was avoiding it because I didn't want someone to throw a fit and ask you to change it.
