Alright, but that really isn't an alternative to promoting channels that allow us to directly and easily interact with people.

Yes because it's so easy for us to track when someone posts a flyer at a grocery store. You're throwing out these suggestions but you don't take logistics into account. How do we measure that kind of thing? "I told three of my friends about it!" Uh, okay? "I put up a flyer, here's a picture." Okay, we'll add it to our database of real space promotional tracking!!!!!!!! The entire point in getting people to follow the OCR page on Facebook is so that we can continue to promote and inform people about music that comes out in the future in an effortless and direct manner. It gives us a way to interact with people very quickly, as soon as new music is posted. Nobody is unfairly barred from anything. The album isn't out yet. Nobody except staff has access to it. You don't get preferential treatment because you happen to participate. Once the target is hit, everyone gets the album. And people accuse me of hating fun. Are you for real?

Or, maybe, you know, you're all just over analyzing the entire thing.

I've updated the first post with submissions information. Because the music from this competition will be provided to Capcom for promotional stuff, competitors are required to submit their entries to me in a lossless format. Either WAV or FLAC is acceptable, so long as the file name is in the correct format. Check the first post for detailed submissions information.

Some people aren't happy unless they're outraged about something. It's very silly.

If you've never seen it, it's a good show. Went to the one in NYC last year as well as the one in Baltimore (during Otakon).

This has to be the silliest thing I've ever read.

Gonna echo what the other Js have said (ha ha, get it? because of the reverb? ha ha...ha...ha... .__. ). This mix is a giant haze of guitar sound. There's too much reverb; I can barely appreciate what you've done in the percussion because it is basically impossible to make out underneath the mush of the guitars. The arrangement isn't doing it for me either. The intensity hovers around the same level throughout the entire piece; there are no dynamics. Even the ending is a simple vamp and fade-out, which I generally don't have a problem with, but in this case it sounds like the piece on auto-pilot and you ran out of ideas. Needs a lot of work, IMO. Arrangement may not suffer from medly-itis, but it's still really boring. You've gotta balance your sounds more and make things more clear and defined. Scale back the reverb, balance your levels, and take a hard look at the structure of your piece. NO

Zircon is a judge. What are you talking about?

It's a start. Can you send me PSDs?

Facebook works for us. We get a lot of eyes on our stuff through Facebook. The more people that like our page, the more we can promote everyone's hard work.

The conversation has evolved into a discussion of OCR's stance on chiptunes and whether or not there should be an adjustment. It doesn't really help to just keep saying "well that's how it is guys that's what they keep saying."

That's what we do.

Hey, knock it off.

Oni's theme is basically a remix of Akuma's theme from the same game.

... It's a joke.

Mixing stage for Hadouken Bracket begins NOW. Check the first post for match-ups. In addition, I'd like some artists to see if they can put together a logo or some bracket images for the competition. Something that holds true to the visual style of Street Fighter games.

Need one more person.

I'd like to start this tomorrow, so we need two more people. If we don't get two more people before tomorrow I will run the draft and set up the first bracket for its mixing stage and see if we can get two more people to sign up during the course of next week. Those people will have to choose a theme not already covered by any other participants.

He said capitalist extortion, not just extortion.

My point was that the "non-source" stuff wasn't something like completely unrelated original chord progressions + original melodies tacked onto the arrangement solely for the purpose of showcasing original writing. Just clarifying.

3 slots left. Let's fill 'em up, people.

Yoko Shimomura is a top-tier, S-rank VG composer. Also one of my most favorite composers.

Why is that?

Basically any ReMix by Mark Vera.
