Yeah the upgrade would absolutely be flat $50, so you wouldn't lose anything by getting the Player version and upgrading later.

$50 + $149 = $199
Except I misread, the player-version would actually cost $99. Forget I said anything.

Thanks to feedback from @Daniel Caton (thanks) & OCR staff, we've made some substantial improvements to the workshop skills pages, e.g.:
http://ocremix.org/workshop/skill/studio-one http://ocremix.org/workshop/skill/vocals-female http://ocremix.org/workshop/skill/french-horn Changes are as follows:
Switched to bootstrap tables Switched to font-awesome icons "join date" is now "joined" and is just the year "last visited" is now "visited" "real name" moved under user name user name larger "real name" column replaced with "skills / tools" column, including DAW & instrumental Secondary sort added on visited (sorts by collab status first, then visited date, DESC) Made additional instrument links clickable Made DAW links clickable icons The last four items are bold since I think they represent the biggest improvement - now, when looking at members who have specified one skill, you can see the other skills they have specified as well, and you can click on those skills to jump around a bit. Plus fancypants DAW icons. And the sorting based on last visited (most recent first) gives you a good idea of who's more likely to be around/available.
Feedback appreciated, although this was kind of a "burst" of energy for these specific pages, knowing full well I might not get back to updating them for awhile given more pressing concerns
GET COLLABORATIN' Y'ALL!!

Well, not so much a Remix as I'm looking for a Cover, but you are free to Improvise. I'm the Director for the Final Fantasy 9 FanDub on YouTube.
Our Channel has nearly 800 Subscribers, our FanDub has had thousands of Viewers. I'm looking for someone who can do a Cover for the Hilda Garde Airship Theme and a soft instrumental for Melodies of Life. 
Anyone interested, post a response below and I'll send you a private message with more information. If you have a demo to some of your work, please include that so I can take a listen.
 
 

The Recruit & Collaborate forum is a place where people can recruit artists of all types for various works for the purposes of collaboration. This includes (but is not limited to):
a partner for a remix collaboration remixers for an album artists to draw album art live musicians to play in your remix composers for original music for a game you're making composers for original music for a video, podcast, etc. Specifically, the Recruit & Collaborate forum is for advertising what you need, not what you can offer. If you're a composer looking for some work, don't post a thread saying "Here I am! Give me work!" Poke around the forum and see what's available. If you want to market yourself, you can use your forum signature/biography for that. Threads advertising your own services will be deleted.

When posting your recruitment thread, make sure to give as many details about what you're looking for and what you're working on as possible. When you're commissioning original music, you'll also want to be upfront about whether or not you're willing to pay for work and how much.

When replying to recruitment threads, be courteous. Don't criticize the recruiter for starting an album project for a game that you don't like, or for a game that already had an album project previously, or for any other reason. If there's a fangame/remake project, don't be that guy that always starts talking about cease & desist letters. If someone is posting a job listing or interested in commissioning work, don't use their recruitment thread as your own personal soapbox to rant about the nature of for-hire work. Basically, if you don't have something nice or helpful (in the "I'd like to help you" sense) to say, don't post.

By the same token, if you're recruiting, follow the same basic rule: be courteous. You won't get any help from anyone if you're a jerk, or if you place weird criteria on the kind of people you want to collaborate with (i.e. "no white rappers"). Also—and this really should go without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway—don't criticize OCR's staff, music, albums, judging process, etc. when posting your thread. We provide the Recruit & Collaborate forum to you so that you can connect with the people you need; don't bite the hand and all that.

Anyway that's all I've got for now. I may edit this in the future. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Nope. You could do Rap, Rock, Country, Folk, Classical, Death Polka... whatever floats your boat.

Death Pokla it is.

I've had to miss on the last couple albums but I really want to try to get something done for this! I look forward to this album every christmas! xD

I can't say it's Christmas in July, but it is Christmas in March!! I apologize for the hold up, but I wanted to kick this thread into gear as early as I could this year, because this is the tenth anniversary of An OverClocked Christmas we're talking about. That's right, Volume 10!!
 
Who's directing this ship this year?
Well, in the last two years (volumes 8 and 9), The Coop has stepped up and stepped into the role of director, while I, for personal reasons that I won't get into here, stepped back to take a breather. Two years is a long time, but this year is special, and I couldn't stand staying away for it. So this year, I'm happy to announce that...
Both The Coop, and myself (Dyne), will be directing this project.
So, what's this year's theme going to be, or, what music should we be making for this project?
As always, Christmasy, snowy, seasonal music is the goal, but this year, I'm asking everyone to stick to Video Game Music specifically. That means that we're not taking original music, or remixes/rearrangements of classic Christmas tunes. I will explain why this is the running theme for the year. In previous years, we've had a mix of all manner of music, from VGM, to classic Christmas music, to originals. For this year, I wanted to focus primarily on VGM has a whole, especially because of this community here at OCR. I love this community, and though I've been lurking for a long time now, I still think of this community as an extended family. So, with that in mind, let's brighten the year with amazing music!!
The other reason for this focus is actually a project that has yet to be started. One that I won't be talking about, but one that is something I want to accomplish for Christmas 2017. So keep an eye out for that.
What format should our tracks be in?
Typically, we've accepted them as MP3s and WAVs before. We're going to do this again. The following is the format that I would like followed:
44.1 Khz, 192kbps .MP3 
Who do we submit our music to?
Well, to be honest, either one of us. But more specifically, I'd like to have them sent to me through my gmail account. That said, I have some guidelines for how you can send me those emails, and what I need to see so I can locate them in my email.
First, my Gmail address is, as always, Dyne2057@gmail.com.
Secondly, in the SUBJECT line, I'd like the following in all caps: RE: AOCC VOLUME 10 SUBMISSION
Thirdly, in the body of the email message, I'd like the following: YOUR REMIXER HANDLE (what you use on OCR is fine), THE OFFICIAL TITLE OF YOUR TRACK, THE SOURCE OF THE TRACK (what game is it from? who is the composer?), ANY COMMENTS YOU WISH TO MAKE ABOUT YOUR TRACK (or tracks if you are making multiple submissions).
Should we send multiple tracks in one email?
The short answer is NO.
The long answer is, I would like tracks in separate emails. I know this is tedious, but it will help me keep track of what information belongs to each of your tracks.
What should we do if we can't send you tracks via email?
If you can't send them via email, I will accept links to DropBox, web space (if that's where you can put it), or whatever method you'd like to use to get them to me. I would still like the requisite information from the email along with the link. If you are doing multiple tracks, then you can send multiple links this way. I know, this is a bit backwards from what I said about sending email to me in one of the sections above, but please hear me out. If you're sending links, you can more easily divide up your track, so what it should look like is like the following:
--- <DOWNLOAD LINK FOR YOUR TRACK>
--- REMIXER HANDLE
--- OFFICIAL TITLE OF YOUR TRACK
--- SOURCE OF YOUR TRACK
--- COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR TRACK
And then just repeat for as many submissions as you have. The download link will act as a divider. And remember that your SUBJECT should also be the same as above.
WIP Deadlines, Final Deadline?
I'd like to have at least two WIP Deadlines this time around. The deadlines will be as follows:
First WIP Deadline: June 1, 2016
Second WIP Deadline: September 1, 2016
FINAL DEADLINE: December 11, 2016 at 11:59pm
I would like to have everything submitted by December 11, 2016, which gives almost 2 weeks for everything to be finalized, and readied for release. This year, because of the length of time we have, I'm going to be a bit more strict on late tracks.
That said, the very latest I intend to take submissions will be by: Wednesday, December 14, 2016 at 11:59pm.
 
Questions, Comments, Suggestions?
If you have any of these, feel free to drop me a line, or throw those things here in the thread. Either The Coop or myself will answer you as soon as we can.
 
Thank you, and as always, I look forward to hearing your tracks.
Track Suggestions
In a response to a question about suggestions, I said I would think about some ideas and present them here in the OP. So, here are some ideas. Also, please note, your remixes don't necessarily need to be specifically snow-based level music, or what not, it can be any track you want.

Crystal: "A Maiden's Message"

MAGFest is the best way to meet most of the community in person. It's the one event every year that lots of people in the scene make the effort to go out to. East coast, west coast, midwest, southwest, Europe, etc. Everyone comes out for the main MAGFest that happens in January.
The event features gaming and music panels, concerts and raves, a vendor area to buy cool stuff, and a really big game room featuring consoles, arcade machines, and pinball machines. OC ReMix usually does one or two panels at MAG every year. There are also a lot of informal room-party type events where people just hang out, play games, and drink together.
It's worth going.

Rhino you can reply if someone else does. Just don't reply twice in a row. 

Are you replying to me? If that's the case, I just used Fl studio

Just a quick question- did you use a program to make this? If so, which one, and second, if you did not use a program, did you play the instruments yourself? 
 
Putting you down for the track now....
I'll just keep editing this comment, then...
You use FL TOO! YES! What packs/generators- Morphine, right?I think that Morphine has the best selection of Brass....and everything else.

When you "bump" a thread, you reply to it to move it back up to the top of the list of topics in the forum.
You went overboard yesterday and kept creating new replies instead of editing your last reply. You even did it again after I warned you and I had to merge your last two posts together.
I really don't want to discourage you from posting on the forums and working on music with people; that's what this place is for. But you need to make sure you're using the forums properly.

Guys, I've finally made my version of "Beginning of The Journey"
 

....Looks like I've got some competition! I'll have to get my piano melody up soon....
By the way, I've got a LTTP album started if you want to join. only 6 tracks are left!

I'll just keep 'em on sound cloud then(the ones I don't use). Btw, two things:
1.We Need a Discord Server for the Pieces of Courage website & its related projects so we don't turn the OCR threads into chats.
2. we need to figure out a standard file format for the Final Album tracks(.WAV, .MP3, .FLAC, etc.)

I had one vote for Of Pendants and Crystals... (Thanks, @BlueJackG)
Maybe Hyrule Divided?
As for the voice samples, I was referring to the Ganon's Message I had promised to do, but I can do anything folks want me to. I'm more of a bass than tenor, so I'm not sure how good my Link would be - especially if I try to 'chipmunk' it - but I can try that too. I just like to be all kinds of villainous!
EDIT: Or Path to the Golden Land...

Track Name for Lost Woods: "Fake Swords"
I estimate about two weeks to get this ready. Voice samples for Sunday at the latest. Life just keeps getting in the way...
Just a quick note about our title: Pieces of Courage is a name I feel would be better suited to a project of Zelda 1 or 2, as these games revolve around the Triforce of Courage. A Link to the Past doesn't focus on any one piece of the Triforce. Picky, I know - but I do feel a name for the album should reflect a little closer to the nature of the game.
... Not that I'm trying to steal any thunder from BlueJackG! It was a good suggestion. 
 

I Lied...I did more tracks:
Church/Sanctuary:
Boss Cleared Fanfare/Crystal:
Flute Boy's Ocarina:
here ya go.
*note: just refresh the page on soundcloud every few minutes and they should show up.

Rhino, please stop double-posting. If you have the post in the thread, don't reply; edit your last post.
