Round 4's song is Mega Max X4 - Final Weapon

You need to be more specific than "a video project."

yep

It's not supported in IPB.

Remember guys, if you voted previously, make sure you re-download the remix pack, listen to all 13 remixes, and re-vote in the new thread. Votes in the old thread won't be counted.

Voting is still ending on Saturday. If your team doesn't submit a remix for that round, they don't earn any points for the round. I guess you still get the bonus but it doesn't actually matter because your team cannot place in the overall rankings at all.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE! Please REDOWNLOAD the ZIP file for Round 2 and REVOTE in the new voting thread. DusK's track was inadvertently left out of the release, despite him sending me his track well before the deadline. The old thread is closed due to a remix being missing from the remix package. Votes in that thread will not be counted. If you voted in the old thread, please re-download the updated package of remixes and vote in the new thread. My apologies to DusK and the rest of the Vintage Reploid Squad for this mix-up.

Your name First place choice remix name Second place choice remix name Third place choice remix name Please use the forum's bulleted list feature, as shown above, and please do not "creatively misspell" remix names; copy the remix titles from the list above to avoid any mistakes. Do not include NUMBERS in your list, i.e. your first choice should be "Remix Title," not "1) Remix Title." This is really important, because it'll help me plug your votes into my tallying spreadsheet without a lot of hassle. Voting in the proper format will help expedite the tallies being done. Thank you! Things to keep in mind when voting: The most important thing to consider when voting is how well the remix incorporates and arranges both themes. Production and enjoyability should also be considered, but this is primarily an arrangement competition. The sources have been linked above for your reference. Everyone is allowed (and encouraged) to vote, including competitors. Competitors should not place their own team's remix in their rankings, regardless of whether they are the remixers for that round or not. However, by voting, they will earn a first place vote for their team's remix. If you are on a team, you must post what team you are on in your vote so I can make sure your team gets your voting bonus. If you do not specify your team, I cannot guarantee that your team will receive a voting bonus. You are required to make an actual decision for each choice, meaning, you cannot declare a draws or a ties for different places. This will be counted as not voting and your vote will not be counted. Do not post reviews in the voting thread. Compile your reviews for each round into a single post in the main competition thread. Post only once in each voting thread. Everyone must adhere to the Competitions Code of Conduct.

GUYS I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE, I FORGOT DUSK'S TRACK!! I'm going to be reuploading the files soon, and I will also be RESETTING the round 2 votes!

I'll compile scores as voting rounds finish. I just haven't gotten around to setting up the sheet yet. Should see round 1 soon.

Round 2 music is up. Let me know if there are any issues.

Yes, to clarify the situation with Zero Tolerance, Mak contacted me prior to the start of the competition indicating that he suddenly had to be out of town until the end of August and would be unable to mix during the first block. I'm allowing the team members to shift things around so that their weeks are covered. Each team member is still on the hook for 3 remixes during the 9-week tournament, so Mak is going to have a couple of consecutive remixing weeks when he gets back.

9 weeks! We're doing three 3-round blocks. Cash, you sent me an MP3, I need a WAV file.

No. Submit it.

Anything from For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man can't be used. MM25 isn't covered under OC ReMix's Content Policy; as a licensed, for-profit album, there's different set of rules. You can't post the tracks on YouTube and you can't use them as background music in your videos.

Round 3 is the first X-Hunter stage from Mega Man X2!

*shrugs* There's a difference between asking and demanding. I'm fine with people asking. I'm not fine with them demanding, nor am I fine with them coming at me tangentially. If I say something like "I'm working on the Sigma Fortress Remix Gauntlet today" or even "I'm pretty excited about going to see Ant-Man later," I don't need someone coming at me saying "Work on <album project> instead!" or "You should get excited about releasing <album project> already!" That's not asking, that's hounding. Even if it was about something I am involved in, it's still a jerky way to interact with an artist/creator. And if it seemed angry, well then yeah, that's because it made me angry, because that's literally what happened here. It's not my project, which, alright, maybe the guy doesn't know that. But why come at me from something totally unrelated? Not interested in that particular brand of impatience. Well, to be perfectly honest, asking about the release date isn't really part of open discussion. I can tell you that probably 95% of the time, when you ask when an album is coming out, we can't actually give you an answer, because we don't know. We have internal targets and deadlines, obviously, but shit happens, and if we tell you a date and don't meet it, what then? People get pissy or disappointed. It's not worth it. The Project forum is open to everyone so discussion and suggestions can happen, and people can get involved in productive ways like contributing art and music or coming up with ways to promote the album. Hounding for a release isn't and hasn't ever been a part of that. Saying things like "you should release this album so that I can play it at my birthday party on Sunday" is just like...what is that even accomplishing? I mean, Happy Birthday, and I hope you have a nice party, but...great music at your party is not our priority. Accurate metadata is our priority. Properly laid out album art is our priority. Making sure all of the music files are complete and error free is our priority. A good website that showcases the album is our priority. Do you get what I'm saying? Curiosity is fine, and so is getting hyped up for the release. But worrying about whether or not it's coming out is just...it's not something you guys need to worry about. It will come out when it's done and ready. I understand the excitement, but don't let excitement turn into impatience. Your life isn't shittier right now because the album hasn't come out yet. You don't have to plan your life around a release date. You'll be okay.

It's on my tumblr. I didn't post it here at OCR because I didn't want people to misconstrue what I said as anything more than a personal rant.

As per Blizzard's blog post, Diablo 3's third season will end on August 23rd, and the fourth season will begin on August 28!

Remember guys, voting closes TOMORROW, SATURDAY at 6PM EDT!

I'm going to lock this, as the last few posts have just been Paul posting his tracks and not much in the way of discussion of SNESology, which seems to have basically gone dormant. Paul if you'd like to post your excellent arrangements on the forums, please continue to do so in the Workshop forums.

Quick note, as per request from Larry: if you are planning on submitting any remix from this competition to OC ReMix, please include a source breakdown in your submission email.

Now that the first round is complete and voting is underway, I'd like to remind everyone to review and adhere to the Competitions Code of Conduct. Keep the CCC in mind when you're discussing, reviewing, and voting on this week's remixes. To answer a question that was posted earlier, yes, Google Drive is fine for providing me with your mix. I apologize for not posting what to put for the gauntlet theme this week. I'll do that earlier this week. I also want to thank everyone for adhering to submission and voting standards thusfar. There have been no bad file names, no 48kHz 24 bit WAV files, everyone is using the right format in the voting threads, etc. So far so good; let's keep things rolling smoothly for the rest of the competition!
