    I can't believe I haven't heard the tune of "Eyes on Me" with different lyrics.  I really enjoyed this a lot!

    Cool original! Very cool version! Excellent vocals, very nice work of expanding the simple synth choir sound usage from the original. One detail I didn't enjoy was how aggressively the music ducked the SFX towards the end, although for effect at the very end, it worked well. Otherwise I do love all aspects of the sound design on this!
     
    edit: to clarify, I like the glitching and the sfxs themselves, but the mix pumps uncomfortably to my ears (on earplugs)

    When the vocals ramped up at :58 I was thinking "I'm awake!" No joke this is one of my favorite time compression remixes. :D

    Echoing Eino in that the spoken voice moments fit incredibly well into the mix.  Solid remix, good job!

    Cool blend of prog metal -style power trio with voices and acoustic instruments! It gives the original some nice kick, and the same theme that is in the boss music too (at least, don't shoot me, I'm not a Secret of Mana OST scholar) is interesting to pick out in this arrangement! I'm most familiar with the boss theme for this melody, so it's just cool to hear it here so differently.
    It might be just a matter of personal taste, but I think I'd prefer the arrangement with a different bass arrangement with more sustain. It would tie the arrangement together better, the instrumentation sounds kind of "scattered" now. (But to me this bass style reminds me of certain prog metal type of music and fans of it might call me just crazy 😸)
    The final movement 1.5 minutes actually do sound really good and it comes together the best.

    I’m game.
    if this starts running, make sure to look into mastering (and a mastering engineer) and take enough time into account for judge evaluations, revisions and post production. The two months you listed are probably on the short side for that.

    Jorito reacted to Dyluck in Expressions of Interest: "TimeShift: An OverClocked ReMix 25th Anniversary Album"   
    Hello everyone!
    As you are probably aware, on December 11, 2024, OCR will be turning 25 years old. And what better way to celebrate this than to do what the community is all about: collaboration.
    So, after running the idea past folks on the Discord, I've decided that we ought to get the ball rolling with a project while we are still over 11 months out. Namely, I want to put together an album that both looks forward and looks backward, that celebrates the 25 years that OCR has been around, acknowledges this time period in VGM and also promotes the ongoing growth of the community's musicians, new and old, younger and older.
    Therefore, I present the idea of TimeShift (working title). The premise of the album is simple:
    1. Any ReMixer BORN BEFORE December 11, 1999 may contribute from sources that were RELEASED AFTER this date.
    2. Any ReMixer BORN AFTER December 11, 1999 may contribute from sources that were RELEASED BEFORE this date.
    By doing this, I hope that the album challenges all ReMixers to look at sources that they might not necessarily be familiar with. In so doing, we can all stand to gain some fresh perspectives on sources (I had actually considered calling the album "ReFreshed Pixels" for this reason!).
    Further Rules
    3. All new ReMixes. In other words, don't grab a ReMix you did that's already published on the site and add it to the album. This is as much about the challenge as it is the celebration of the time period. Have an unreleased WIP, even one you've shown off in the forums/Discord? Cool, it's valid. And yes, you can ReMix a source that's already been done.
    4. One game, one claim. I don't want the album to filled with veterans' takes on Megalovania or City of Tears, and likewise we already have enough Corridors of Time and Terra's Theme for the younger crowd... Of course, don't let me stop you from being the one and only ReMixer who chooses Undertale or Hollow Knight, or Chrono Trigger or FF6!
    5. Multiple sources are fine, but please ensure your main source comes from your valid time period. Adjudications may apply.
    6. Release dates means original release. 
    Cross-territory must use the first release date. For example, if a game was released in Japan in early 1999 but in North America in mid-2000, it goes to the younger ReMixer group since it's early 1999. No, just because a classic got a remaster 20+ years later does not qualify it for the veterans unless there's brand new musical material exclusive to that remaster. Adjudications may apply. Expansions (because they were a thing at the time of OCR's founding; remember those?) are valid if they contain brand new musical material exclusive to that expansion that wasn't in the original base game. This also applies if the original was released before OCR's founding but the expansion came out afterwards (making the expansion open to veterans). Adjudications may apply. 7. Typical quality standards apply.
    8. The current final submission date (which is open to change) is September 11, 2024. Release date is the 25th anniversary: December 11, 2024.
    Suggestions
    We have a thread on the Discord where folks can post soundtracks that they can suggest for the album, especially from sources younger than OCR. It's not a requests thread, though: it's designed to get gears turning and ideas flowing.
    Roles
    Ah, now here's the tricky thing. I've been around the ridges on OCR for a very long time but it's only just recently that I've started to take a more active role in the community. I would certainly love the help of some experienced director(s), artists...heck, let's make this a full celebration and evoke the days of yore with a website too! Please let me know how you may be able to help me out here!
    And, of course, this wouldn't be an album without someone to make music to go onto it. I encourage every ReMixer who wants to take part to let me know! And if we can get some sleeping giants from the old days involved somehow, that would be absolutely fantastic.
    So that the album can get off the ground, I need expressions of interest from:
    Co-director Mastering Engineer Artist(s)  (unless you want my poor art...) Website Designer (not as necessary, but preferred) Apart from expressions of interest, I am definitely open to comments, suggestions and feedback.

    This arrangement is conceptually great. It's so much fun that it's a ReMix of a ReMix (that stands on its own!) Great intro.
    A couple of things bothered me a bit; the bass drum pumps a lot for my sensitivities on the headphones, it's a bit uncomfortable and distracting for me. Also, something about the guitar competes with the vocals when they play together.
    Otherwise, I like everything! The soundscape is good, the guitar sounds good, I like the saxamaphone! Great vocals, but I think surprisingly the element that clicks with me the most, is the spoken voice. It sits so well in the mix and feels just a natural part of the music! I think it's worth paying attention to, as I think it's not that easy to make spoken voice fit well with the music. Here it's a great performance that is timed and mixed to the music as a natural instrument!

    For the last time, it's results time
    Hopefully everything is counted correct (just added the voter bonus, assuming that nobody voted twice for the same song or for his own song, the winner is clear.
     
    The final last wooden spoons go to Evktalo, Silverpool64, BRKPNT, Jorito and (again) BRKPNT without any points.
    The 18th place is for both Sadorf and Treyt with two points.
    8 Songs tie for 10th place: AlchemicJay, TheVodouQueen, Jorito, Wassup Thunder, Unknown Pseudoartist, (again) AlchemicJay, JH Sounds and AZPX with 3 points
    The 6th place is for Hemophiliac, Yami, Bundeslang and HoboKa with 4 points.
    The fourth place is for Souperion and HarlemHeat360 with 6 points.
     
    Third place is for TheVideoGamer with 7 points.
    XPZA got second place with 10 points.
    And the winner of PRC472 is Coloradoweeks with 23 points.
    Congratulations Coloradoweeks, even if I miscalculed half of the votes you are still in the winner of the final PRC round. Well deserved, and close to an unanimous win. You still may pick a source but it will not be used for a further PRC. You can send it to me by PM or just post it in this thread. Some followers might reward your win with a remix, or I might organise a special round somewhere in the future.
    Even tough Coloradoweeks is the winner of this round, I think we all have won this one. A fantastic amount of remixes resulting in the end of PRC. Big thanks to all remixers, voters and listeners, the OC Remix and ThaSauce Community
     
    http://sites.google.com/site/bambombim/prc for all rounds and winners.
    https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/prc472 for the votes and comments.
    If anyone is interested in any old PRC songs, I have them somewhere so I can share them if there is any interest. Everything from PRC94 and later is at the ThaSauce site.
    This is the end of PRC, but not from my visits to OC Remix. I Will Return (but not as PRC host).
    Thank You

    Jorito reacted to DarkeSword in Our New Submissions Form   
    Happy New Year, everyone!
    Just wanted to check-in and let you all know that we've got a new submissions process for remixes. Since the inception of the site, we've been asking you to host your file somewhere and send us an email with a bunch of information about your remix. This has lead to a lot of headaches on both your end and our end, but now we're finally moving forward with a more modern method.
    Introducing the new Submissions Tracking page! We've used our forum software to build out a custom form where you can upload your track directly to us. This post will get a status and linked to a decision thread, and it also features a comments section where judges can communicate with you about issues with your remix. Submissions are private, so only you and the judges can see them. In the coming months we'll be retiring the old email method of submitting remixes with an auto-response that'll direct folks towards the new system.
    This new form, combined with our recently revamped Currently in the Judging Process dashboard, will help you keep tabs on your submissions.
    A big shout out to all of the ReMixers and Judges who helped me test out this new system. I've had ideas for years for turning our submissions and judging workflows into a fully integrated piece of software, and while the limitations of our forum software prevent us from hitting that goal 100%, this is a huge step in the right direction.
    I'm looking forward to hearing what you all are going to send us. 😎
