I remember there being some concern last year that we weren't going to be able to get an OCR suite this year as a gathering place for all of our brood. Will we have a suite this year?
No suite this year unfortunately. There's a small block for OCR rooms but that's about it.

You're not allowed to promote your music in Community unless you're a posted remixer. Moved.

When posting a new topic, ou can choose one of the four preset prefixes. The default prefix is 1. work-in-progress. As you get feedback and develop your track, change the prefix accordingly to indicate the status of your track. This helps the evaluation team keep tabs on your track. Here are the prefixes and what they mean:
-
work-in-progress
Your track is a work-in-progress and you need feedback from the community. This is the default prefix. -
ready for review
Change your prefix to this when you want a workshop evaluator to give your track an official look. Once they provide you with feedback, they'll change your track back to 1. work-in-progress. -
completed
Change your prefix to this when you feel you're done with your track. -
submitted
Change your prefix to this once you have submitted your completed track to the Judges Panel.
As you can see we've numbered the prefixes to help you iterate through the process, but if you want to jump ahead and just post a completed track that doesn't require review, you can do that with the appropriate prefix as well.

This is FANTASTIC. I love the source tune. It's so nice to hear a modern electronic take on such a classic.
-
Hey, sorry. Stuff is busy on my end. I think we're going to get this started in January after MAGFest.

You know there was a PC version of Cold Shadow with arranged music right?

While OCR's Content Policy is quite permissive with regards to ReMix usage in streams and videos, we've seen reports of videos getting hit with Content ID matches on YouTube against tracks from our catalog. Some matches are bogus (stolen tracks, false positives, etc.), some are legitimate (tracks that are a part of a commercial release, audio matched to a source tune, or legitimately claimed by the ReMixer). Here's a list of ReMixes we know have had issues in the past. If you're a streamer or video creator, avoid these tracks.
It should be noted that this list is not comprehensive, only because -- as we post new ReMixes -- other tracks may get added. We also don't have any list available for Twitch, though we haven't heard of issues there. It's possible that there are other tracks that will get your video flagged, and we periodically update this list. Unfortunately there's not a lot we can do about it, except recommend that when you contest your ContentID match with YouTube, link OCR's Content Policy. We've heard reports of people using that to get the hit removed.
We also recommend using Rainwave's song widget for Twitch for their OCR radio station. When new songs trigger YouTube's ContentID, Rainwave staff will get in touch with us and vice-versa in order to keep this list updated.

Nintendo's announced their new console, the Nintendo Switch (formerly known as "NX"). Looks like a home/portable console hybrid! Very cool!
Press release:
QuoteREDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In an introductory video released today (http://www.nintendo.com/switch), Nintendo provided the first glimpse of its new home gaming system and revealed that it is called Nintendo Switch. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system to enable unprecedented new video game play styles.
At home, Nintendo Switch rests in the Nintendo Switch Dock that connects the system to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in the comfort of your living room. By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock, the system will instantly transition to portable mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its bright high-definition display. It brings the full home gaming system experience with you to the park, on an airplane, in a car, or to a friend’s apartment.
Gaming springs into action by removing detachable Joy-Con controllers from either side of Nintendo Switch. One player can use a Joy-Con controller in each hand; two players can each take one; or multiple Joy-Con can be employed by numerous people for a variety of gameplay options. They can easily click back into place or be slipped into a Joy-Con Grip accessory, mirroring a more traditional controller. Or, if preferred, the gamer can select an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to use instead of the Joy-Con controllers. Furthermore, it is possible for numerous people to bring their Nintendo Switch systems together to enjoy local multiplayer face-to-face competition.
“Nintendo Switch allows gamers the freedom to play however they like,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO, Nintendo of America. “It gives game developers new abilities to bring their creative visions to life by opening up the concept of gaming without boundaries.”
Developers can design their games supporting a variety of play styles, which gives gamers the freedom to choose an experience that best suits them. Some of the publishers, developers and middleware partners announcing support for Nintendo Switch are as follows:
• 505 Games • LEVEL-5 Inc. • Activision Publishing, Inc. • Marvelous Inc. • ARC SYSTEM WORKS Co., Ltd. • Maximum Games, LLC • ATLUS CO., LTD. • Nippon Ichi Software, Inc. • Audiokinetic Inc. • Parity Bit Inc. • Autodesk, Inc. • PlatinumGames Inc. • BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc. • RAD Game Tools, Inc. • Bethesda • RecoChoku Co., Ltd. • CAPCOM CO., LTD. • SEGA Games Co., Ltd. • Codemasters® • Silicon Studio Corporation • CRI Middleware Co., Ltd. • Spike Chunsoft Co., Ltd. • DeNA Co., Ltd. • SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. • Electronic Arts • Starbreeze Studios • Epic Games Inc. • Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. • Firelight Technologies • Telltale Games • FromSoftware, Inc. • THQ Nordic • Frozenbyte • Tokyo RPG Factory Co., Ltd. • GameTrust • TT Games • GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE INC.
• UBISOFT • Gungho Online Entertainment, Inc. • Ubitus Inc. • HAMSTER Corporation • Unity Technologies, Inc. • Havok • Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment • INTI CREATES CO., LTD. • Web Technology Corp • KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD. • Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. - Anorax, djpretzel, TheChargingRhino and 1 other

Here's a complete list of Brandon's remixes that were removed from OC ReMix's catalog.
Like Gario said, it's a shame, but given the circumstances, it was an inevitable outcome.
-
I'm assigning teams. I only really asked for preferences.
We'll try to get this started soon. Just been busy with other things.

I suppose I can go through these one by one, see if that helps:
1.) Much like many things in life, it's not what tools you use, it's how you use em'. Soundfonts are acceptable, as long as you can handle the instruments in a manner that make them sound either realistic or interesting. I know that Darkesword has a few tracks posted that used older or free soundfonts, so I know it's at least possible.
The majority of my remixes are soundfont/free-sample only. It wasn't until Gentle Fist from FFV that I started using purchased libraries.
Free soundfonts are still extremely viable for OC ReMixes.

Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines before making another request. I agree it's a great song but you need to name your threads appropriately.

This has always been a huge issue for me with regards to superhero themes. As a huge comic book fan, specifically the DC superhero variety, it's so important to me that heroes have memorable themes. Williams's Superman theme from the old movies is so iconic, but Shirley Walker's animated series theme for Superman was also a wonderfully strong melody. I honestly can't recall Superman's theme from Man of Steel. I remember people liking the music, but it's so forgettable to me.
Batman's also got such a long history of theme music, from the old 60s show's wild mod-rock theme to Danny Elfman's instantly iconic film theme, which Shirley Walker cemented into every 90s kid's brain with her animated series arrangement. And then she goes and writes the new theme in Mask of the Phantasm which was arguably even better than Elfman's movie theme. Batman Begins had good music, but Batman didn't really have a theme, did he? It was mostly just the two blaring notes. Worked in the movie, but what do kids sing when they're running around in the backyard with capes on?
One property that is getting it right is DC's Supergirl TV show. She's got such a wonderfully hopeful and instantly recognizable melodic theme. Really beautiful.

There are a lot of video games that are essentially digital versions of card games: Hearthstone, the Pokémon TCG game for gameboy, Duelyst, the various Yu Gi Oh games, etc. These games have some pretty solid soundtracks. I'd like to see a small single-disc album focusing on music from games like these.
Anyone up for the task of directing? I'll take on an advisory/exec producer role and help out, but this'll be your show with regards to track selection and stylistic choices.

I sincerely hope you're listening to the OverClocked PodCast.

Plenty of folks on OCR playing LoL too. We really need to get some kind of OCR gaming league going with game nights and guilds and stuff.

Making new friends as an adult after high school/college is actually really difficult. You're not put into situations where you're forced to interact with peers on a regular basis. For gaming friends though, I would suggest meetup.com. There always seems to be some kind of local board game group set up where you can go hang out with people and play board games. This can translate pretty easily into video games. You can also try to create your own gaming group. Maybe contact a local library and see if you can reserve a room with some TVs and set up a weekly gaming thing where folks can drop by and play some Halo.
Also, and this is kind of obvious, but there's OC ReMix too. We're a pretty solid community of gamers. Lots of people are real-life friends because of OC ReMix. Not necessarily local, but I know I see my OCR friends almost monthly nowadays due to get-togethers and conventions. Plenty of folks in the community are playing games online like Overwatch, Hearthstone, Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft, etc. We had a pretty active Team Fortress 2 community a few years ago, though I'm not sure how much people play that anymore.
Your location says "nomadic." Where are you actually located? Maybe there's some OCR folks out near you.
