The Nikanoru

Okay, I'll add you as a piano performer then immediately erase it until you tell me to put it back up.
JK. Let me know if/when and I'll change the thread.
Looking forward to it!
For the record, it is not mandatory to have all (instrument, synth, or vocal) tracks recorded live for submission; however, there is a high bar of sound quality that all tracks will have to pass in order to pass the judges' panel. Part of the judges' criteria is the quality of the sound design and the production itself and it is suggested to use live recordings when possible.
In short, you don't have to do it live but it usually sounds better on the whole if you do.

So, let me get this straight. ALL of the tracks are going to have to be live recorded? Right?
If I can get something set up, Nika, put me as a piano performer, but only if I tell you to.
For now, I'll see what I can do.
Anyone who wants me to do piano stuff, go ahead and PM me. 
As to the "bonus Corneria" track, I have a basic outline for it. Might put it up later today. 

What's good homie

I sent in my Star Wolf WIP, can I also claim Katina?

Actually, that's the MP3 for the track we need the MIDI for. Thanks though!

Come on guys.
Happy Nintendo64th birthday, Shiggy!

@Starphoenix's Diving into the Deep Green Abyss is the closest to completion so far and that Macbeth track of his is sounding pretty wild so far!
Hopefully @TheChargingRhino will have something to work with soon for the Andross remix. And yes, I'm sorry I don't have the voice-over done yet - stomach bugs are not conducive to concentration - but I have something in mind and will record something this week to post here. If someone is willing to provide me with the 'Tunnel' theme, then I'll have something to put behind it... hint hint ...

I'd just like to remind everyone that it's about six weeks to the first check-in.
@DS394 and I will start contacting folks who haven't submitted a WIP yet sometime in December. We're not asking for much (even 20 seconds of track is still a WIP), just something to give us an indication of where you are and where you're taking the track. Please respond before January 1st so we know where you're at!
If you have submitted a WIP already, thank you! We'll probably ask what's going on, but nothing additional will be required at this time. If you have a new WIP to give us at the time, great!
I know it seems early to remind everyone, but everyone needs to keep in mind that the timeline is still moving towards completion. If folks are feeling the pressure and nervous about having something together by the end of the year, we have lots of folks willing to help out!
 

e.g. http://ocremix.org/artist/4628/zircon
Uses Bootstrap 3 More visual layout YouTube playlists! Emphasis on artist links is front and center, including support links for patreon, oc records, etc. Definitely a work-in-progress, but since it was better than what we HAD, we're going live now and will iterate Other pages will be updated to kinda-sorta match, as time allows This pushes us further towards an overall site redesign by getting pages laid out in Bootstrap, semi-responsive, etc. in a piecemeal fashion Feedback welcome

....This seems like forever ago. You told me to listen to this, Nika, I did, obviously, but I forgot what it sounded like, so I'm re-listening.
=).
I actually really like this A LOT.

Well then, I guess I'm doing a voice-over. I'll post something to this thread in the next couple of days.
Thanks to @TheChargingRhino for taking the first plunge! I'll also finish posting the Andross tracks this weekend so everyone can hear all the sources.
Everyone can contribute something, whether you want to help by designing part of the root track or just clapping your hands into a mic. Don't worry, we'll find something for you, Star.
This track is now yours, MB. Thank you!
Personally, I was hoping to get the waltz from SF SNES on this album somehow, but the choice is yours which track you use (just let me know which one you decide on). No genre restrictions, interpretation is wide open; my only guideline is to try to 'tell a story with the sound.' Oh yeah, and the OCR submission guidelines.

22 claims ... and since this Andross collaboration seems to be taking some sort of shape, that means...
DISC 2 - VENOM HAS NOW OFFICIALLY REACHED ITS FIRST GOAL OF 12 TRACKS!
Thank you to everyone who has participated in this so far. I really appreciate all the collaborators who have also stepped up this week and offered their services too - I am really happy with how this is all turning out and EXCITED to hear what comes of this!
Now, just because disc 2 has reached its first goal does not mean claims are cut off. There are four more tracks for the second disc I have listed in the project overview that are open to claim and lots of character themes still open. Even boss themes! Also, only ONE TRACK LEFT for disc 1 to reach its first goal - which will also have some other tracks open to claims. 
This project is still recruiting! Let us know if you want in!
 
 

As I tend to say, I am by no means an expert and do not profess to be a master mixer, so thank YOU both for teaching ME something. LOL
 

The bass is better, but every time that kick or tom hits, I'm still hearing it push the rest of the soundscape out of the way for a moment. It also interferes with some of the glitch effecting you have later on. You may want take another look at the EQ on the drums.
I do like the new softer orchestral bit at 1:38. Nice touch.

This track entertains me in so many ways. I like the chiptune melodies with (as @Gario calls it and I LOVE this response) the 'absolute cheese factor' of the synths - it's a bright, bouncy, and humorous approach. I really enjoyed this - two thumbs up!
I would also like to say that 'Only Link Can Do the Duck Walk' is the perfect name for this track.

Alright! We have all kinds of motivated collaborators and performers here, just ITCHING to perform!
So, since everyone is so eager, let me put this suggestion in front of everyone: ANDROSS is the 'boss' of this album, and deserves to given the treatment like a boss. I think it would be awesome if we found a way to get most or all of our collaborators and performers to do something on one big Andross remix, spanning at least one theme from every game we see Andross in.
I'm still very much a newbie on actual composition - I'm having a hard enough time getting the right sound with my own track currently - so I don't think I'm the right person to build the base arrangement; however, if someone is willing to step up to the plate and take a few swings at building a framework, I think we could all put in something and turn this into something truly epic.
If someone wants to be really creative, I'm sure I can do a decent Andross impression for an introductory voice-over ... and I can laugh evilly, as I've made mention of before. (Yes, I know the laugh is cheesy ... but that's why I like it.) 
Let me know what you think!
 
 

@Etzaen has claimed Eladard (inside variation) from Star Fox 2. I guess I had better post the rest of the OST to the overview ...
Welcome aboard, Etzaen!

As I assigned this track to disc 1 (conveniently), this also means we have...
24 CLAIMS - 12 TRACKS ON EACH DISC - FIRST MISSION CLEAR!(in 24 point, just for emphasis)
Thanks again to all our awesome Remixers for helping me bring this together!
Don't forget, we are still recruiting! Let us know if you want in!

If any help is needed, boss, you know where to find me

I vote on the voiceover as well. And to get things started, I guess you can put my name down for Sector Y. Are there any arrangement preferences or genres I should follow?

Dibs on the theme from SF.
Let's beat that one track from Double The Trouble! for number of ReMixers. 
And, YES!
DO A VOICE OVER!!!

There was a recent discussion of ads for OC ReMixes on YouTube that some of the staff here MIGHT have heard about.
I've done a little bit of browsing and investigation and noticed that OverClocked Records has very little - if any - advertising presence outside of OCR itself, aside from a few articles that are two years old. Heck, there's no advertising on the OC Records site itself either. This seems counter-intuitive, considering how much advertising there is for OCR.
Is there no appetite for advertising this awesome music elsewhere, or is there a cost/legal restraint, or has no one thought about this because they are too busy with other things?

I haven't helped with any collaboration projects on here yet, but I'd like to at least give it a shot. You can assign me as an arranger, remixer, or performer. Just let me know where I'm needed and where I can help.

AARGH SORRY!
Gonna claim Meteo if that is okay...?
