Hey all, I've been a long-time OCR fan, and I've always wanted to prepare a submission at some point. A couple years ago I submitted a remix of Route 119 from Pokemon Ruby (original song) to a PRC compo, and recently I started thinking that it could be a good basis for a full OCR submission, with some improvements. At the time, someone noted the following: The first 15 seconds or so are a bit sparse The transition when the synth lead enters around 0:47 is a bit jarring I started working on trying to fix those to try and get it to OCR submission quality, but I realized I was a bit stuck -- I tried playing with the transition a bit but it always ended up sounding similar to the original. So, I thought I'd ask here! What do you all think? What would you recommend doing to this to improve the quality? Thanks! PRC369-PkmnRt119.mp3

Thanks for the feedback! I can definitely see what you mean with the synth lead being a bit jarring—I actually added it because the original version ended up kind of sparse and boring sounding! That said, do you have any ideas for how I could maybe make it flow in a bit better?

Hoping I can get a bonus mix done for this one!

Hopefully we get some other entries!

These songs seem like they might blend together well! Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Wow, thanks for all the feedback, and I'm glad you all enjoyed it!

A Pokémon source? Hopefully I can get something in for this one! Time to see if I can get FL Studio to play nice with my sustain pedal...

Hoping I can get something in for this one -- trying to force myself to use FL Studio instead of Garageband because LEARNING

I should be able to submit something to this one -- with the extra days I can have a bit more time to refine it.

Catchy source! Hoping I can get something in this round.

Love the source song! Though, I think there already is an OCRemix of it (if that matters): http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00623/

Haha, now I finally know what the backing track is for this YouTube classic: Now I definitely have to enter!

Great choice -- I've always loved the music from this game! Hopefully I'll get something submitted in time for this one.

I had no idea the FFXII soundtrack triggered so many different reactions! The beginning part of Lowtown sounds OK to me, but the second half actually sounds pretty cool (it reminds me of Africa by Toto for some reason).

Wow that was ridiculously close! @DrumJ8, if I had to pick which of ours was better I honestly wouldn't have been able to decide.

Uploaded an entry! Looks like this round's shaping up to have some good competition.

Voted! Looks like turnout wasn't so bad after all!

That's what I get for not test-playing it . I've re-uploaded! Now it works. Thanks for letting me know...

Uploaded one! I'm surprised this doesn't have more entries already.

Voted! Everyone must have liked the source tune, because there were a ton of submissions!

I just listened to your track and it totally made my day! Great job!
