    *NO* Undertale 'For Good!'

    I'm on board with the NOs. Love the arrangement, but there's a thinness to the drums but a loud squashiness with the strings. They also get SUPER mechanical around 3:20; very heavily exposed.

    Strings and mastering need a serious look. Everything else is that jpeg of Pacha from Emperor's New Groove doing that "When the Sun Hits the Ridge Just Right" face.

    Well if it a common case of snobbery, I'll just take my leave. Sorry for intruding with some light dark humor.

    No, you don't have to leave. I'm just genuinely confused as to why you even posted this thread. Not being facetious.

    OC ReMix and Smash the Record 2017 Collaboration

    OC ReMix is partnering with Smash the Record to produce an EP of remixes that will play on the for-charity stream during matches and speedruns. This EP is targeted for release on September 14th. I need remixes yesterday. Here are remixes I need:

    Must Haves

    Game/Series Claimed Status
    Super Smash Bros. Melee unclaimed pending
    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U unclaimed pending
    Mega Man Series (Preferably X) Sixto Sounds pending
    Kirby Series (Any) unclaimed pending
    Super Mario Series (Any) unclaimed pending

    Would Like to Have

    Game/Series Claimed Status
    Castlevania: Symphony of the Night unclaimed pending
    F-Zero GX unclaimed pending
    Metroid Series (Preferably Prime) Sir_NutS pending

    There’s also a large schedule of games that will be played on-stream at the event. If anyone would like to do a remix from one of these games, please claim it here.

    Deadline on this is really tight guys. We aren’t doing a physical but I’d like to get music locked down and reviewed by mid-August.

    Smash the Record benefits St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. This album will be released on the day of the event and we’ll be sharing and promoting StR throughout the weekend. I think this would be really nice thing to get involved with. Hopefully we can get some great music going.

     

    OCR03701 - *YES* Legend of Zelda "The First Look at Gold"

    I think the arrangement is beautiful but I have to agree with Gario. The smaller ensemble really exposes the samples and I'm feeling a lot of humanization issues particularly in the intro and outro. I think that this piece would really benefit from recorded performances as opposed to a sequenced approach. That is, I understand, a pretty drastic recommendation to make, but nowadays I feel like it's a bit easier to find collaborators online. Barring that, some better samples and more humanized sequencing would help.

    NO, resub

    Yes.

    Well... yes and no. @Thomas Neil wanted this to be an official OCR release in the same way as the other albums, which are distributed for free in electronic format online. If we had wanted to actually publish and distribute this album, I would have had to look at that from the very beginning; this would have involved talking to OC Records or another private / indie label. I haven't looked into it, but I imagine there's a bunch of extra work involved and a freaking HUGE cost, which I certainly can't handle myself.

    That being said, I will be getting my guy to do disc covers as well and @Etzaen has told me he's doing some character art that can be used as extra leaflet material, so you can print out all the material and make your own copy on a CD-R. It's not exactly PolyGram or WB, but you will at least be able to hold it in your hands. :)

    If you want to release this through OCR with the option of physical release down the line, you should know that we do all of our physical printing through Nationwide Disc. Nationwide has templates for packaging; the two types of packaging we usually do are digipaks and sleeves. Any multi-disc album would be done as a digipak, and any single disc album would be either digipak or sleeve. As far as OCR is concerned, jewel cases with inserts are not really an option; they break too easily.

    It's also important to note that when preparing album art, make it 300 DPI. That's the minimum quality needed for print. A good test would be to take your art and paste it into the one-disc sleeve template and make sure it's large enough to go over the bleed lines.
