Hey folks. That time of year where we have to get the ball rolling on the album for the Apex fighting game tournament. I don't have a concrete list of games yet, but I'm going to assume the following: Super Smash Bros. (N64) Super Smash Bros. Melee (GCN) Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Wii U) Pokken Tournament (Wii U) For anyone unfamiliar, Apex is a fighting game tournament in NJ that OC ReMix creates an official album for. We like to have at least one remix for every game officially featured at the tournament. If you're interested in participating, please post here with your claim. I still need to confirm the event date and the game list, but I'm going to assume that Apex will be in June, so we need to get music done by May.

Sounds nice. Moving to Originals. The Post Your Game Remixes forum is for video game music arrangements only. Non-game arrangements should go in this forum.

No, people willingly give their kids smartphones they pay $200 for because of carrier deals. Adults don't really even pay $1000 for smartphones for themselves. And the thing about DS and Gameboy is different because the DS and Gameboy were both portable systems, and that statement was just Nintendo hedging their bets on a risky, experimental system (2 screens, touch, etc.); i.e. if the DS failed to capture the market, they could fall back on the Gameboy line. The Switch is designed to be a home console successor that iterates on the Wii and the Wii U, not a 3DS successor.

Well also, and I feel like people are really getting this wrong, Switch is not a "portable system" like 3DS. I mean yeah, they're touting the portability of it, but Switch is a home console that can also be made portable. It's not really meant to replace the Gameboy/DS line the way some people think it is. A lot of us are adult gamers and we keep thinking about the Switch as adult gamers; about the convenience of taking it on the commute, or to a party, or while we're traveling. But Nintendo's always done very well with a specific demographic: kids. The Switch is a pretty sleek $300 machine, and that's not really something to give to an 8 year old that she can take with her to a lot of places. A lot of times siblings have their own 3DSes or 2DSes too. Nintendo still has to satisfy that market with a portable-first system that's a bit more rugged and a bit more affordable. Am I wrong here? OCR parents, back me up: would you buy your younger kid a Switch and trust them to take it around everywhere with them? My guess is "no," but I don't have kids of my own.

They can't tell you everything in a single press conference. I think the focus on the hardware and the games was good enough.

One week per remix. Starting end of Jan/early Feb

Waffling a bit on Switch but I did get a lot out of my WiiU. It's not going to take too much tonight to convince me to preorder.

CORRECTION! The switch presentation is TONIGHT at 8PM PST/11PM EST. http://www.nintendo.com/switch/

There's a presentation for the Switch tomorrow.

Eino out, Dewey in.

Got you now.

Sixto's out due to some personal stuff. Need 4 people.

Got you. Removed dupe StarPhoenix.

I'm looking for some help in populating a Google Calendar with notable video game anniversaries for games that have remixes here on OC ReMix. This calendar is meant to be used in conjunction with zapier (an automation tool) that will help us automatically promote game pages on OCR's Discord server and possibly our social media accounts. Right now OCR doesn't track release dates of games in its database, so I can't ask djpretzel for that data. I need folks to help find release date data and create events on the Calendar in a specific format. I'd prefer to use release dates from the country of origin, so Japanese release dates for games from Japan, North American release dates for many western games, etc. To participate, you need a Google account (i.e. gmail address). The event should be created with a start time of 12:00PM on the day of the anniversary. Multiple events on the same day should be spaced by 15 minutes. The title of the event should be Nth Anniversary of Game. The description of the event should be a link to the game's page on OC ReMix. Here's a sample event. I think we can focus on 5x Year Anniversaries for now. Let me know if you'd like to help out and I'll give you access.

You can post whatever you'd like as long as its not breaking any rules.

OKAY now that MAGFest and the holidays are over, let's get this thing crackin! Here's who I have signed up already in my spreadsheet. It might be outdated, so if you're NOT participating anymore, please let me know.

FLStudio Mobile recently got completely rewritten from the ground up. I've used it a bit on my phone, it's not bad, but I can't really say how good it is. I will say however that Android is not great for music production, yet. iOS honestly has a better selection of apps and has less latency.

Thanks everyone who came out to the OC ReMix panels. Sorry for any awkwardness.

YOU GUYS! MAGFEST IS REAL! AND IT'S HAPPENING! Make sure you join the #magfest2017 channel on the OC ReMix Discord! It's what we're using this year to coordinate planning/meeting up/announcements.

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?
