It still doesn't work even when you spell everything right.

Who's complaining? I'm just answering your question. Descent is not as popular as Sonic or Zelda. More people have played those games than they have Descent. That's just a fact. I'm sure it still has a decent following. A lot of old games still do. I don't get why you're getting defensive. It's not like I'm talking crap about Descent or anything. I'm just giving you a reason why it's not remixed as much here on OCR. We encourage remixes from every platform, but in case you haven't noticed, most of the music here is console-centric, because more people played games on consoles when they were kids than they did on PCs. It's just a result of people's nostalgia. And to be perfectly honest, I really dislike when someone posts a "Why aren't there remixes from <GAME>?!" thread. Can't you people just read the guidelines and post a normal request instead of turning your request into an indignant complaint about artists' song selection? How hard is it to just title your thread "Descent ReMixes Please?" People will remix what they want to remix. If they want to remix Descent, then more power to them. The game had a good soundtrack. But seriously, we can do without the feigned bewilderment.

Because with a MIDI file you don't have to worry about production. When you write a MIDI, you're not worrying about sample choices, mastering, EQ, effects, or anything. The most you worry about is sequencing specifics (durations and velocities) and patch choices. You're just transcribing/composing/arranging, not producing.

Your joke fails. The way you're trying to use the word in the first sentence doesn't work, because the word you want is "decent." As for the topic: why aren't there more Descent remixes? Because it's not as popular as games like Sonic and Zelda. Duh.

I did manage to get on last night eventually. Played a sniper's duel with EdgeCrusher on orange_x (until the end when I switched to scout and batted him to death).

Do you know basic music theory, like chords and keys? If you don't, learn a little bit of it. Also, try to write original music too. Don't just try to arrange or "remix." That helped me a lot when I was starting out. As for a professional sound, that really comes with practice. Yoozer had the right idea: just keep writing stuff, post it up for feedback, and take the criticism to heart.

Word of advice: for the purposes of this site, we really don't want people MIDI-ripping for any reason in a remix they're going to submit here. Just FYI.

They really put Saji through the wringer, didn't they?

Pretty much true.

xRisingForce, I'm going to tell you again: stop double-, triple-, septuple posting. It's against the rules. If what you have to say won't fit in one post, well then you're saying too much and not promoting discussion. Learn to use some brevity in your arguments.

Hi Lenne. A word of advice: don't post in red. Just use the forum default.

Added another rule to this forum.

Why don't you just look at the requests IN THIS FORUM to get an idea for a song to remix. There's no reason to make a requests thread in the requests forum.

None of these stories beat that one guy proposing to his girlfriend on the radio to Blue Skies Over Guardia.

Hotness mang, total hotness.

Stop double-posting, please.

I let my computer play all my compositions.

Who was playing the scout that I torched through the gate?

TOO LATE APRIL IS OVER WE DON-- *shot*

Check out the new Blue Beetle series. You can grab the first three trades. It's really fun. Atomic Robo is also great. It's written by Brian Clevinger, the guy who does 8-Bit Theater. More when I think of some.

Freakin' Chadly mang, snipin' my ass.

*bump ba bump*

But not easier to just click "forums" on the sidebar?

Why would that even be an issue? Are you actually typing ocremix.org/forum into the addressbar? Why not just come to the site and click a link?

Kirby's Adventure, Mega Man 6, and Batman: Return of the Joker are some of my favorite NSFs. I'd also like to recommend Live-A-Live for SNES, by Yoko Shimomura (composer of games like Legend of Mana, and Kingdom Hearts), and you can't listen to SPCs/RSNs without listening to Treasure Hunter G. Hit up SNESMusic.org for SPCs/RSNs
