Samesies... and I'm gonna have to get settled in with the percussion studio at KU, so I'm not sure what'll happen on my end as far as mixing goes. I'll do my damnedest though! Shouldn't be a huge deal, I've gotten pretty good at fucking up my sleep schedule, so I don't have a problem with staying up late to get things done

Ooooh the background cracklies are really cool on headphones. The subtle chord changes in the low bells are nice; since I'm familiar with the original, those really caught my ears, and were a nice change up. The drums suit the style well imo, and they're up-front enough for my tastes. The snare could MAYbe use a little more volume in the mids? it sounds kinda tinny. Or just another sample layer. The run that starts a little before halfway (tindeck doesn't give actual times, and I'm VERY lazy about downloading stuff) sounds a bit mechanical; the instrument choice reminds me of those African instruments that have to be plucked, and I picture some native trying to play that with his thumbs flying and eventually combusting and exploding. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRIBE OF NO THUMBS. That won't be easy to live down, man... The ending just kinda... ends, so I'm assuming you're not done here? Edit: Ha, this is kind of a series of "I like X but don't like X" "X is good in my opinion, but I don't like X" Also, delay is a good call for the snare

Goddammit, I leave the OCR threads alone for a day and this is what happens... (iloveyouguys )

Yup, I agree. I've pretty much made up my mind that I'm going to do this, but it'll have to be in the summer or something, like SuperDuperXXX suggested so I won't be competing with any Darkomps. It sounds like there should be at LEAST 8 people who are interested, which is enough for comp #1 in my book (that'd give us 3 normal rounds and one HEIHACHI BATTLE ). Besides, I'm not going to kid anyone and say something stupid like "TEKKEN IS JUST AS POPULAR AS MEGA MAN PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW IT" Anyway, yes. Name to be determined... King of Iron [somthing] Tournament seems to be a good formula, as suggested by SuperiorX

Lol, random guy = my big brother Matt (on the forums as [synonym synonym] OOPSIMEAN Sonic Charlatan) 1. People love to be a part of a community; and oftentimes it's hard for people like us geeks to find a community that we actually feel drawn to. It's also a great way to get your music out there and improve yourself, as was mentioned. 2. I'm actually studying to become a composer. The community has taught me a LOT about electronic composition after a few short months (and I'm still learning, and incredibly excited about it); I knew literally nothing about sound production coming into the workshop with my very first piece from FL Studio (a Pitfall remix) in early June, and now it's in the "to be posted" queue. If that isn't a testament to the helpfulness and knowledge of the people of OCR, I don't know what is. The prestige of the community is also giving me an edge for the world of composition, especially after listening to the people I look up to, which is basically everyone in the community who's better than I am (which is a TON of people ) but especially guys who are making a living doing what I want to be doing, like zircon, BGC, and Danny B to name a few (and djp, almost forgot he wrote for a game). And I've always wanted to have composer buddies to push me, but I haven't had that until recently. It's great to be friends with guys like Ecto, Ben Briggs, Emunator, etc. to get quick, honest, and very useful feedback, and in turn hear their pieces and pick stuff up from them that I could be doing to improve my work. In short, why am I a part of the community? Because of everything about it Music is an always-changing entity; there's always something you can learn, and this is a great place to find someone to teach you

I was trying to come up with a catchy way to combine the words "Everything" and "Nothing" for a new handle, and in some sort of odd fusion my brain came up with (and refused to let go of) "None-ery". GETIT?! LIKE NUNNERY! BUT NOT!!

Yo, this be the "King of Iron Fist Tournament"; to our knowledge, subsequent tournaments (which may or may not include demons of various types) DO NOT EXIST YET

Get your own damn thread Yeah I was thinking like, 8 people would be good, maybe (MAYbe) 16... multiples of 4 make rounds easy. I wanted to keep it smaller basically because I have no experience running these things, and the less time I'm badgering Darke for advice, the less annoyed everyone'll be with me And, less rounds makes it more realistic to do different themes every round, although I like the idea of the themes of your character being up for grabs basically, and you can choose whichever ones you want during each round Also, I was thinking if I'm running it, I will not be mixing... Until the last round; HEIHACHI STYLE!! Not that I'll be like, the big boss, end-all be-all remixer in the competition... I just wanna play too Also, I'll miss you Will

You can have Vegeta I mean, Kazuya

This was actually one of the concepts I was thinking of, provided I get enough people to participate. If not, it'll have to be 1v1's. Basically what I was thinking is people pick a character and can use any of their themes from 1-3 and Tag, since the stages aren't as character-specific once the series hits 4

<3 you guys

So I've been noticing (which isn't really that difficult) that through all the Mega Man competitions that Darke hosts, we've come up with a TON of great mixes that cover a specific franchise. Which is great, because Mega Man has some amazing music, and it's familiar to everyone. I'd like to implement this same idea, but for the Tekken franchise, which has all of *1* remix on the site, by djp himself. This is a game series that holds an insane amount of nostalgia for me. The second one was literally the first Playstation game I played when I was about 6, maybe even 5, quickly followed by the first and then third, when it came out. Upon re-examining the music after actually knowing a thing or two, it's... fantastic. There's not a whole lot of room for big noticeable melodies because of the game type, but there's all kinds of catchy subtleness utilized in just about every theme (which is a LOT, considering different iterations of the music for the arcade themes vs. home systems, not to mention all the games in the series), and the synthesis is amazing. So I'm curious... what would everyone think about a Tekken Remix Tournament? Does anybody even play Tekken besides me?! If you're unfamiliar with the music, look up just about anything from 1-3, arcade or arranged versions. It's all great stuff Lemme know what everyone thinks pH

Luke hit on my girl at MAG... I was gonna punch him or something, but then he hugged me, the bastard. I just couldn't do it after that

Jesus, the 10th must be the most popular day for birthdays... I went to MAG with one of my friends whose birthday was the 10th. And mine may or may not be as well Happy birthday(s), thunder-stealers!

Penis joke

It was... the coolest thing... I have ever seen. My mind blew chunks into the milky way, and the Silver Surfer made Galactus clean that shit up after pwning his universe so hard MAGFEST

Train jokes are the best jokes! <3 Charge Boy ALSO: Glad you liked it the part at 1:00 is actually more Charge Man, and the segment following is the same melody fleshed with electronic instruments. There's also an homage to Mattrex from MMX5 in the flute part of the ethnic section at 1:00. His theme was stuck in my head when I was writing, so I rolled with it, since that generally works better for me than just ignoring it and have it nag me for the rest of the piece. Edit: I envy you... I'll be changing the name of Planes, Trains, and Auto 'n' FUCK I HATE TYPING THIS

I don't always derail the thread. But when I do, I do it at Wily Temple

Oops, I accidentally an hour too late, like Akumajo

I enjoy the music from 5 and 8 more than most of the other games, just because people don't like them as much for whatever reason. I grew up on 8, and 5 just has a bunch of weird writing that I guess isn't as accessible REMIXTIMEMAGFESTCRABCAKES

I APPROVE OF PREVIOUS STATEMENT time for me to do the same, since you're next door to me ben and nathan

Someone actually spelled it with a lower case "p"!! w00t. That' "+" makes it really non-acidic though
