We've talked internally about doing site-hosted playlists of music in the OCR catalog. I've had a lot of ideas about this. It's definitely on the radar, but right now there's a lot of backend work that needs to be done to facilitate this.

OCR03970 - *YES* Super Mario Bros. "Reflecting Pool"
DarkeSword replied to Gario's topic in Judges Decisions
I don't think the effects are working in this piece's favor. The hiss is too distracting. I like the core idea of the arrangement but I found it difficult to follow because of the effects added. If this had been purely a brass arrangement I could see myself passing it, but I've gotta say NO. -
This is fine because you’re promoting the music by talking about it.
-
You can trade for remixes, but YMMV.

Here's a video of the upcoming implementation.

How do you change the time signature of a playlist mid-song? Pretty sure that's something they teased for the next version?
-
FLStudio is also finally adding time signature changing in-song with FLStudio 20 (the next version coming out this year), I believe.

Tips on writing a bass line

It's fine. -
Hey all! Just wanted to plug my first ever original album. You guys are probably more familiar with my remixes and arrangement work here, but I have actually been writing original music for almost 20 years. The album is called Sound the Clarion Call: A Musical Tribute to 1001 Knights. You can pick it up on OverClocked Records for $3.99! This album is inspired by the 1001 Knights art anthology that was Kickstarted about two years ago. It's a set of three hardcover books with beautiful artwork of different kinds of knights. I was hired to write the trailer music for it and ended up putting together a full album. If you've ever enjoyed my remixes before, give this album a shot. It's a mix of new age, jazz, and classic SNES sounds. Hope you enjoy it. Here's the fourth track from the album, The Accumulation of Knowledge.

"It Doesn't Matter" from Sonic Adventure has a great melody. -

Just gonna throw this out there: "Catchy," in the context of BGM for a Sonic the Hedgehog game, absolutely means "good." xD -
You can actually do this with OCR's full catalog, as per our content policy. http://ocremix.org/info/Content_Policy

Are any of my old friends still alive?
DarkeSword replied to Blaster Atoms's topic in General Discussion
I didn't participate in Unmod all that much. That In Da Club remix was done by DCT; he wrote an instrumental that was an arrangement of one of my old original tracks and put the a capella on it. -
Fix those notes. Everything else is great. Love the solos, performance is killer. NO, resub
-
I'll be real: I go to the DC/MD/VA area all the time to see OCR folks. I think it would be a nice change of pace to do something elsewhere.

What is the best video i have produced until now?
DarkeSword replied to Khappa MJ's topic in Music Composition & Production
This forum isn't for advertising your YouTube videos. You've already posted your videos in the Originals forum. -
Would an album based on these be doable?
DarkeSword replied to Draconiator's topic in General Discussion
Honestly any album project is "doable" if you put the effort in. -
I've updated your thread title to be clearer.

It's a Square Enix property.

I'm pretty happy about this.

I never really understood the issue with ads on YouTube videos given that we had Google ads on individual remix pages for years. Advertisements presented in the context of individual remixes is nothing new; I guess it feels different to people now because YouTube is huge and "monetization" is a word people throw around all the time now. I'm a little annoyed with Google/YouTube and their mysterious enabling of ads, ESPECIALLY the unskippables. I agree with Dave that it's kind of shocking they don't have logs or an audit trail mechanism for that kind of thing. Kind of concerning, TBH. In any case, while I wish we had more time to prepare for it, what's done is done. Now that GMI is officially a 501c3, I hope that folks will be on board and won't raise a fuss. Like I said, this isn't actually anything new. I never had problems with ads on the remix pages, so I don't see why I'll have a problem with ads on my mixes.
