Whoever = me. I still need to build the second WIP with all the additions we made in, uh, early December. I've been maybe a little slow about this... but I will have something together soon. Hopefully this weekend.
Once the second WIP is built, I'll PM everyone on the collaboration and we'll make a decision on the next course of action.
Well, I sent you and your merry men a formal review for the current WIP on December 29th. Some changes had been proposed, but I've heard nothing since. I suggest you check with @classic_gamer_76 and @Pichu's Dad to see where things are at with this.

Well, bonus tracks are accepted at the discretion of the director(s) of an album, and even then, only approved for an OCR album by OCR staff.
I can't speak to the DKC3 album or the decision made to accept these bonus tracks; only that they must have been approved by the director(s) and OCR to have been featured on the album..
 

Terra Tripmachine is my OCR introduction song. Heard it one day fro something (2003ish? So, maybe Newgrounds or something like that back then), looked it up, found OCR, hung out, conned a bunch of people into making a pokémon album for me, hung out more, make some friends and enemies (friendimies?), and so on.
$300 Time Mage hat! Sidebar! UnMod's ultimate end! That smiley thing that we did for some reason! All those things, and many more! All that happened, and we were there for it. It was us, and ours, and no one else!

Okay. I think it's time to go through Evaluation, because I want it done, and I am really proud of where I am in term of mix and composition.
Here we go!
 

You're not alone, @oldfan.
I have a very long history of gaming - got myself hooked on my friend's copies of the first Zelda game, Mario 2, Mario 3, Contra, and the original TMNT. I've been a gamer for 30 years now and as other posts have described, I'm becoming a bit philosophical about it all now.
A similar experience brought me to remixes in general. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of the Black Mages, but their song Distant Worlds did the very same thing to me. This song helped me realize, in a time of my life when I was very insecure about my gaming, that there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a great love and appreciation for video games.
It's funny how music can not only bring back the images, but also the sounds, the situations, the feelings - this track literally brought the WHOLE experience back for me, which is one of the initial contacts I had with OCR. I'd like to voice my support of Von Nebo's statement and say that these times are good, but nothing will beat those old days trying to figure out how to trash Metal Man with just a P-Buster, an E-Tank (if you didn't lose all your lives trying to get it), and a whole lot of determination.
Thank you, OCR, for giving us a place to give these memories a new life through the songs we create - and hopefully we share of little of the joy we had making these memories with the rest of the world through music.

On this one, I'm gonna have to say no. First of all, because you already have a claim on this track in the regular album and you've already made a bonus track of Corneria; second of all because your sound design here is way too close to the WIP you have sent me for your regular claim.
If you are looking to start on something else for the album, there are still 4 unclaimed tracks on the current tracklist (including the Boss Roll ) and boss and character themes are still open. Plus, I'm still hoping to get that Andross collaboration going and I need that intro to start things off, if you're still interested in doing that.
All that being said, I liked what I heard - your fill-work is really coming along. I love to hear that creativity!

Six weeks already? Ahhhhhhh!!!!!
Cleaned up the "synthbeat" version of Clipped Wings. Cleaned up meaning changed the hits a bit, added a proper ending, remade the gutiar rhythm from the original with FL Slayer and "synchronized" it.  None of the notes sound off now. Have lots of homework to do, but will get the new version to you this weekend. Also looking for someone to master/mix the track so it sounds "clean". 
Like I said, here it is.

Okay everyone - it is now just six weeks until the next check-in! (Where has the time gone? 2016 went fast enough...)
Once again, this check-in is about progress. Show us that you've done some work on your track; no polish required yet, but hey, if adding polish is your way of advancing the track, fill your boots - we'd love to hear it either way.
I've been in contact with a few of you, but it's been pretty quiet lately - I can only assume you're all busy making these tracks spectacular... right? I've mentioned a few times now that I will be applying for OCR-approval very soon. Given that haven't received a new complete (not finished) WIP in the six weeks since I brought this up, I'm no longer confident we can reach the goal of 16 complete (not finished) tracks by the time I plan to apply, so I'm going to apply with whatever we have ready at the time. In the meantime, I'm going to reduce our goal from 16 complete tracks to 12 by next check-in. I'm fairly confident our team is capable of this; remember that by complete (not finished), I mean the arrangement has a beginning, a middle, and an ending - does not have to be a permanent arrangement, no polish is required.
Oh, and speaking of which, I'll be making some changes to the top of the thread in the next little while. This whole complete vs. finished thing is obviously confusing people, so I'm going to be reworking what color means what, and I'm also going to be cleaning up the descriptions and condensing what's there so the page is a bit more concise in its description. I've had a few people 'TL;DR' me when I point them to the thread. LOL
Here are some WIP updates I have so far:
@DS394 gave me an update on Lylat Legacy! Our Sauria remix by @DS394 has an update, now with a rap from @Cole Train! 'The Flash' @Starphoenix has also given me another WIP for the Boss B track, which is now called Laser Light Showdown! @Slimy has given me an update of the Venom track, Surprise! I've posted the updates to the WIP spreadsheet. I love the sound of progress - give them a listen and tell us what you think!
If anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. I'm trying to make myself available to respond as much as possible, so if you need any support, just ask!

That depends - did you mix your lyrics with @DS394's WIP or do you just have the lyrics audio? I'd prefer to get the lyrics as part of the WIP.
If you have the whole WIP, then you can either send to me or post to the review PM.
Sure!
Just so everyone knows, I'll be asking who was involved and who wants to be credited as what as part of the 'finished WAV' part of the process, as all this will need to be clear for titling the tracks, artists' credits, and who needs to 'sign' consent forms for the final release.
... I'm just waiting for someone to try for 'Remixy McRemixface.'

Another quick update... "Into the Thick of It" has been claimed by @Thirdkoopa, who sent us a 5 minute long WIP in the blink of an eye. Welcome aboard!

Impressive as always, @DS394.
I really like watching that keyboard bounce around in the video. I FEEL the force every time you knock that thing around - a lasting image of the passion and emotion in your playing style. Awesome!
Oh, and love the blooper reel. Also a nice touch.

Okay, so I finally have something relatively presentable for the Sauria track! My apologies for it taking so long.
I'd assume I'd send it to you @The Nikanoru? 
Also could you change my name on the drive page to Blackimar? Changed my artist name recently to that, so. 

Also a testament to how much I need a better keyboard stand XD But thanks!

You can consider this track claimed. Welcome aboard, Katamari!

Awesome! Thanks, @TSori - I'll put you down as a performer!
I'm REALLY HOPING someone can pull all these awesome performers we have together for a jazz remix... HINT HINT....

Hi everyone. I was wondering if it wasn't too late to hop on this and claim a track? I made a pretty cool take on the title music from SF https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1665268/music/lylat system - theme audition.mp3
This is me messing around with it and brainstorming ideas, no mixing or anything. Thinking of keeping it short since the source is very sparse anyways.

Hey all.  
Just wanted to jump in here and offer my services as a trumpet player.  Ive been playing for 20 years and have high quality setup.  Id be glad to lay down some tracks for anyone who can use them.
