The album is more or less locked in now. We'll be receiving the final versions of some last minute track fixes, etc. and we'll get to mastering them right away. The album production is basically complete and listed below is the "tentatively" final track list and order! I hope you're excited and pumped! We surely are! This album blew all expectations away and I think you'll be in a real treat!

Love it, you definitely nailed that feel! Might just be me but I feel the piano sample feels low quality compared to the rest of the instruments

I originally created a shorter version (about a minute long) of this piece for the purposes of a Twitter meme, but I liked the end result so much that I reworked it into a full composition. My goal can best be summed up as "what if Nightwish made Pokémon music?" I haven't made a submission in over a year, but I think this piece may be solid enough to present to the judges.

Hi everyone!,
My name is my username, but I have decided to call myself G3 as a musician.
I recently opened a YouTube channel where I mostly upload covers (arrangements I call them, but the point is not to change the original material too much) of video game music, mainly focusing on those from the early 2000s and earlier, although my plan is to test myself to improve constantly according to the experience I acquire, so wherever there is music from a video game that attracts me, I will be there.
I've always been a bit of a fan of the unconventional, so my chosen tracks will probably appeal to fewer people than usual, but I have faith in myself and my project to go as far as I can.
Here is a link to my channel so that you can give me your comments, since here you will be used to this type of material:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvXwhgLdOkLoYskMe45W_QQ
I thank you in advance for your time. I hope to learn a lot here. Thank you

Hello everyone!
(Wow, I'm extremely nervous ...and shy, haha!)
To make things simple outside my username / artist moniker, just call me Angel. I've lurked around the OCRemix sphere for, jeez...years, I'd figure. Had my first taste way back around mid-2006 or so, from an old ex-friend who was heavily into it. I don't know if some of the OGs are still around, but I definitely remember two of my firsts I've heard from here was "Ace of Space" by Beatdrop and "The Scarlet Halls of Night" by The Wingless (I'm a big Guardian Legend nerd)--been hooked ever since! Been raised on games since a child, been raised for a passionate love of music and art since a child...only made sense at some point to combine the two things, but up until now I've been too scared to try.
Like many here, I want / plan to improve my knowledge and experience in composing music, and (hopefully) at some stage have them featured here. I am totally new to creating music from scratch, on my own, but am not new to playing music or experiencing the process of it from start to finish. I'm a fan of many genres, and love to work within and outside "conventions" in any one of them!
Hope to make new friends and learn a lot by mingling here. Feel free to message me for any pointers or guide me to workshops, (I have no idea where to start!)
o/ Have a good one guys, and look forward to the future here!

What's that I hear? Is that... distant jingle bells? Did someone say " ho ho ho" just now? That can't be right. It's only July.
Oh, but it is right. It's that time again. Time to see who's interested in taking part in the annual tradition of making Christmasy music for people. Christmas in July has become a thing these days, and so it's during that seasonal warm up period that we kick this thing off, in hopes of getting folks to provide music for the real season when it comes about in five-plus months.
 
SO! This project is open to any and all OCR members, regardless of whether you're a posted remixer or not. Want some details? Have some details...
When's The Project Deadline?- December 20th, 2020 at 11:59 P.M. EST.
This is now a REALLY hard, non-negotiable deadline, since it's very close to Christmas. We've had lots of last-minute entries and updates over the years and, to be perfectly honest, it shouldn't be that way. With months of time, having to hold off as long as possible for people made things pretty hectic for myself and Dyne in the past. Treating this project like a college paper that doesn't get worked on until the last minute got annoying rather quickly when it kept adding up to lots of hurrying year after year, with last second updates to artwork and retagging/reuploading things. As such, you have until one minute before midnight EST on December 20th to get me the final WAV or MP3 of your song. After that, you're shit outta luck until next year. I need time to do everything, including possibly making a little website to host this project if Dyne isn't online for one reason or another. So this deadline's set in stone... PERIOD.
What Information Does The Coop Need?- When you send me your final versions, I'll need what name you want to use (real or remixer handle) and the name of your remix. Please, come up with something when you send me links to the file, rather than just giving me a file called "ff6-owa-v3f.mp3" and nothing else. You don't have to tell me what song you're remixing, but I do need a name. Plus, if you have a website you'd like to pimp, supply that as well and I can add it to the MP3 tags.
What Can Be Remixed?- Any song, really. Traditional Christmas carols, video game music, published music by a signed artist, music from TV/cartoons/anime... whatever gets your heart racing and into that Christmas spirit. This isn't an official OCR album, so you can draw from more sources than just VGM. Plus, you can take a non-Christmas tune, like the Main Theme from Space Harrier, Stage 6 Mission 2 from Metal Head, or I Defend STM from Truxton II, and turn it into a Christmasy one. So know that it's not limited only to songs that are Christmas-like to begin with. All that said, do keep in mind that if you want to submit your song to OCR later, you'll need to keep this site's guidelines in the back of your mind. But for this album, you can take it in just about any direction you want and get as crazy as you'd like (but please, no "Silver Bells" done in farts or something).
How Long Can My Song Be?- As long as you want it to be. There are no restrictions on this, so whether it's 1:30, or 9:51 with a five minute guitar solo ala Metallica, it's all good. But again, if you want to submit your song to OCR later, keep their guidelines in mind.
What Genres Can I Remix In?- Again, the door's wide open here. Rap, Metal, Pop, Piano-solo, Orchestral, Jazz, 8/16-bit, Barber Shop Quartet, A capella, Death Polka... it's up to you where you want to take it.
What Format Should I Submit My Song In?- WAV or an MP3 of at least 192KB/s quality. I'll be tagging the MP3s and making MP3s from any submitted wavs, so you don't have to worry about that. But, if you'd like your website to be in the MP3 comments section, be sure to give it to me when you submit your song.
How About A Little Music To Get Us In The Mood?- To help everyone along, here's a YouTube list of Christmasy tunes made by Ocre a number of years ago...
https://ocremix.org/community/topic/32727-an-overclocked-christmas-~-now-recruiting/?tab=comments#comment-676914
What's The Website's Address Again?- It's got a new home at... http://williammichael.info/aocc/ This album will still be downloaded there as well, as Dyne will continue to host the albums on his site.
How Do We Contact This The Coop Person?- If you've got questions, comments, concerns, want feedback, or your track is done and ready to be sent to me, you can PM me here on OCR, or send me an E-mail at thecoopscorner@gmail.com. Just be sure you remember to include a link to your remix.
 
So yeah, there you go. You've got over five months to get something done for the lovely people of OverClocked Remix and the billions of listeners around the world who've become followers of our project.
Good luck, have fun and make everyone some Nice Work™!

Hi folks. It's been a very long time since I've posted on this website.
I've been poking away at this track for a couple weeks. I was hoping to eventually submit it to the site, and I could use some feedback on how it's shaping up. The average production quality on OCR is even higher than it was 15 years ago!
Here's a Google Drive link to the WIP:

and here's the original.

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for showing interest again.  Looking forward to it!

I'd been thinking of giving this theme a try for a while, so I'll try to get something done for this one

MISSION STATEMENT
The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required.
MnP Instructions/Guidelines
Source-Picks are limited to the era of gaming 1984-2006.  In other words, Nes/Sega Master to PS2/GC/XBox 1.  Going to relax this rule with certain Indie Titles like Shovel Knight, Undertale and possibly Crypt of the Necrodancer.  Update me upon further titles that have that 'Retro Fidelity'.  Thanks! Modifying the Source is fine, so long as it doesn't sound completely separate from its original intent.  Small tempo changes are OK.  But not 140 to 80 etc.  Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max). Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry. MISC/TIPS
- When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make people's lives easier.
- In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

I think it's pretty nice; reminds me of Threads of Fate in a way, but with a more Eastern vibe. It might be a little too subdued for an opening theme, though. To me, it has the lighter, more atmospheric sound of background music. It seems like it's building up to something when the percussion comes in around 0:29, but right at 0:46 it feels like it looses steam because the beat changes to more of a slow march. You might also want to give the horns and bass drums a little more power around that point, then you can ease up as the song reaches it's end. Then, at the very end, let the final notes linger a bit longer and slowly fade out.
Those are my recommendations as an amateur, anyway. Of course, I don't know what this is supposed to be an opening for, so maybe this fits better with what you're imagining.

Hey folks,
I wanted to share a recent piece of mine with you because I thought you might enjoy it. It is inspired by the OST from Skyrim^^
 
 

Hello again guys. I have just about finished this new melodic dance track. I think I have a banger!

Haha yeah I get it. I've just been working on originals for myself just to get better, and I feel I've made a lot of progress over the last year so just trying to get back into remixing

Thanks, long time no see, just getting back into remixing after doing originals for so long lol. I'll probably increase the bass a little, it does sound a little quiet to me now as well. Thanks for the feedback!
 

Hey Chalis, long time no see.  This is some seriously bad-ass musical chops here.  Love the vocal, funky organ and that beat.  The chippy bass is fun too.  Howbeit, the bass is a tad on the quiet side, but it may be YT encoding screwing things up.  Maybe 0.2 dB boost?

Looking for feedback on the mixing and mastering in particular!

Thank you!

love it!

Just an edm style track I've been working on. Was looking for feedback on the production quality

In if there's still a spot.
