My remix currently has about 30 seconds of a Marble Madness source in the intro, is that too much? What are the rules about incorporating non-competition sources?

If I have time, I'll try to fit in a cameo from Marble Madness!

Congrats! If anyone isn't sure what Vig did on the album, his name is in the credits. It's awesome to see an OCR artist contribute to such a high profile album, let alone a song that won a Grammy!

You're future self will be thanking your past self for pushing your limits and taking the hard path! That's what compos are for!

Hey Tera, I like the additions so far. I like the way the new synth modulates through that section. The buildup is sounding pretty good, I'm curious where you'll take it from here. Keep up the good work! By the way, I also use FL Studio 11. I'll happy to answer any questions you might have! Timaeus most likely knows more about FL though, considering his music is better than mine.

Hi Tera, You're remixing Terra's theme and your name is also Tera, that's awesome! Anyway, onto the remix. I'm liking what I hear so far, you've made me curious to see where you go with this! Just some productions comments. The choir (or are they strings?) in the intro sounds a little too fake for the mood. The delay effect you put on the piano is a bit much for my tastes, it sounds unnatural. I think the percussion is nice and epic though, well done on that. Also, when it's just the piano and percussion playing, the remix is sounding sparse. I'd recommend adding more layers, or have that section lead into another more intense section. That leads me to the arrangement. I'm enjoying you're rendition of this mega-popular source. I'd say so far you've taken a unique approach, so that's good. My only other thought would be that the ending is building up to something, but never quite makes it. Perhaps you already have a plan, but I would love to see you expand the current ending into a more intense section. I'm hearing in my head what it could sound like, especially the percussion, and I'm excited. This has potential. I'm looking forward to what you come up with! I checked out some of your other music (which is great by the way, especially your singing!) and I see that you play violin and sing. Maybe you could incorporate some violin or vocals into this remix. I'll be following you're progress on this, looking forward to more!

I have a pretty good start so far. I was actually thinking of naming my entry Marble Madness...

For those who are interested, Erutan aka katethegreat19 has put up a Kickstarter for her new album, The Court of Leaves. It's an instrumental album of traditional Celtic and Medieval music. Based on the preview, it sounds amazing. The Kickstarter has already more than doubled the goal within the first day, but still plenty of time to support it. The concept for the physical CD is looking really nice, I'm excited for this. I recommend checking it out if you like her music, or are interested in Celtic music.

Happy birthday Deia! I hope you avenge lots of dragons today! That's my way of saying have an awesome day!

I'm very satisfied with OverClocked Records so far. I just picked up five albums for less than 25 dollars, not bad. I bought all of Joshua Morse's Waveform albums, WillRock's Welcome to the Real World, and Jillian Aversa's Origins. And all for a reasonable price. I'm looking forward to picking lots of great music in the future!

Does OCAD have a twitter and/or any other social media presence? Also, I think it would be helpful to post a link to your YouTube channel in the first post.

Great to have OCAD back! Awesome first episode.

OCAD is now if anyone is wondering.If anyone is checking the forum, the song quality is pretty bad.

The standards must be pretty low around here...

I'm ready.

OCR Talkback is currently .

Happy b-day X3!!!

Happy birthday! Have an awesome day! Maybe one day you can become straight XPRT!

I'm happy for you. You've got your butts in order.

Hmm, now I know how to get special treatment around here.

Are you having fun being a butt? I can't think of any other reason why you're being difficult. EDIT: Awesome signatures by the way!

Happy birthday dude! Have a good one! Your music is cool, keep making more!

I disagree. In terms of posted remixers, both brackets are about even. Looks like a good mix of experience levels in each bracket.

The Butt Hill is yours! Looks like we still get to have this compo after all!
