“What is a[n OC ReMixer]? A miserable little pile of [sample libraries]. But enough talk; have at you!”
Team Castlevania represent!

put me down for team Castlevania!

What a horrible night to have a curse...but fuck it.
Castlevania me up, sir.

“So… You like to play Castlevania?”
 Team Castlevania!

What a bday present, indeed!
...Just started listening to this...and I already have goosebumps, and it's only 10-15 seconds in...and it just...grows ever-more expansive and glorious from there. ♥ Your years of experience shows in spades, despite the contention with "mix issues", and I can see why people say "it's a feature, not a bug" in some aspects and respects. Nonetheless, this is beautifully done and written and you weave so many recognizable sources in seamlessly...and it feels without effort (even though I know there was a ton of effort in this bad boy.)
It's to a grand-scale of epic and an inspiration, and I'm glad Emunator vouched this one to be up on the feed, because we all would've missed out otherwise...
Happiest bday to you two, the fab twins! ? ? I look forward to hearing and seeing more of your stuff up on the feed and on NewGrounds mixposts. ♥ :3 And I truly hope most of us can aspire to create and get something this hype into annals of OCR history.

Absolutely loving the 70s/80s rock vibe... Reminds me of stuff from Saxon with a bit of Motörhead / Judas Priest up in there (and yep, defo Jethro Tull and others!!) The flute is gorgeous (got Pat Metheny vibes there for a bit), but this is a very well done and put together piece! I'm glad it got through and got the spotlight...and it managed despite the mad-dash rush Lucas talked about on the Discord and his write-up to get it in for the album.
Happy bday, my man! Good shit and looking forward to more from ya up on the feed. ♥

What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

What a birthday present!!!!
Let this piece be a guiding star for all of you would-be OC Remixers out there, hustling and grinding and practicing to make it in the site. Josh and I spent twelve years honing our skills to get here, as much as it seems we came out of nowhere.
You can do it! And I’ll be watching the home page waiting to hear it ?

Team SNES: Yami, The Vodoú Queen, colorado weeks, Aeroprism, ZackParrish, Xaleph Team PSX: pixelseph, H36T, paradiddlesjosh, Emunator, Hemophiliac How does the competition work?
Participating remixers will form 2 teams of at least 3 members each. Each team will be assigned a set of 3 games. The competition lasts 6 weeks, with week-long mixing rounds alternating with week-long voting periods. At the start of the mixing round, each team will choose and reveal 1 source tune from each of their 3 games. Each source will be paired with another source from the opposing team, for a total of 3 pairs. Each team will be responsible for writing 3 remixes for the week that combine (or mash) both source tunes in each pair. At the end of the mixing round, we'll upload the remixes and have a community vote. Voters will vote on the 3 remixes that did the best job of mashing the two source tunes together. Teams will accumulate a score based on how many of the community votes they win. In the next mixing round, we'll rotate which games get paired up with opposing games. What are the rules about teams?
I want to make things easy and accessible for people to participate, so there's no maximum on team size, but I will be asking people to do their best to even out the teams once we have all of our participants signed up. Unlike previous competitions I've run, there's no rules about who has to be a primary arranger for a track from week to week. Teams will be free to organize and determine how each of the three remixes gets covered. Using your teammates for collaboration and feedback is highly encouraged.
What are the games we're remixing?
For the first GSM, one team will be SNES Final Fantasy games (FF4, FF5, and FF6) going up against a team for PSX Final Fantasy games (FF7, FF8, FF9). Almost any song from these expansive, legendary soundtracks is allowed, save for a few exceptions: specifically, songs that show up in both SNES and PSX games, like the Prelude or any variation of the Chocobo and Moogle themes. When your team is picking sources at the start of the remixing rounds, pick something unique to each game.
This seems like it'll take a long time, when does it start?
I'm aiming to gather interest here on the forums and in our Discord and I'd like to start in August, depending on if we can get some sizable teams. I would love to have around 6-7 people on each team to really get the spirit of collaboration going.
I'm happy to answer any more questions. It's been about 4-5 years since we've done one of our bigger multi-round competitions. I'm hoping to see some new faces in the mix.

I haven't been here in ages and have just stumbled across this thread by chance, but I love these kind of competitions, so I'm in

I'm up for it Sounds like fun.

I’ll probably join.

this sounds cool! i want in

Count meeee in

First post updated with NEW INFO.

I shall gladly join Team SNES.  As I was saying on Discord, I have never, ever done anything like this before and my grasp of the musical theory is laughable at best.  But I have passion and I love me some SNES FF.
Let's see if I can help!
 

I have no preference so you can use me to balance the scale.

I'd like to put my interest in for this too on the PSX side!

SNES for me.

Despite my spoony bard reference, I'm also team PSX!

PS1 era crew represent!

No you fight me right meow ?
