No. Community is not the place for that. Use the Works forum. You are only allowed to post a thread for a completed album of music (original or arrange), and only if you're a posted or TBP remixer. No progress threads.

caaaaaaaaaaaaake

Won't work on me I already bought one.

I like NSMBU as a game but the soundtrack is kind of lacking, especially the rehashed castle/tower/ghost house/underground/water themes. Come to think of it, the only new music is probably the overworld theme and the map theme. NSMBU is great but it could have been even better if they'd applied the same production values as say, Galaxy 2, especially in the area of soundtrack.

It's a conservative arrangement to be sure, but I think there's a lot of personalization in the performance and we get some really great improv bits in the second-half. Great sound, excellent groove. I like it. YES

Really relaxing. Percussion kind of lacks 'oomph' but I don't think it's too bad. Love the organic feel. Really captures the appeal of the original. Quite nice. YES

OCR competitions will never escape from Mega Man. Mega Man is the best.

Yes sir, that's the idea.

I wanna thank everyone for getting their remixes to me today. OA is still working on his but I talked to him earlier and it's basically almost all done. The music you guys pumped out for this album is really excellent. If any of the contributing artists wants to listen to the other tracks, drop me a line and I'll hook you up. I hope everyone else on OCR will enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying it right now when we release it in January. Apex 2013 is going to be an awesome event, and our official soundtrack is going to make it even more awesome.

GWS bro.

I like Miiverse, especially how it's integrated into NSMBU. I have been leaving TIPS and TRICKS. Keep an eye out.

Merged both computer deal threads. Only need one.

I recently watched an anime for the first time in a few years. As most of you know, I'm a big fan of superheroes (American comics and Japanese tokusatsu shows). This past NYCC while hunting around for Kamen Rider figures, noticed a crap-ton of Tiger & Bunny figures by S.H. Figuarts (the company that makes really great Kamen Rider and Super Sentai figures). I liked the designs so I decided a few days ago to check out the anime. If you haven't seen it before it's pretty wild; it deals with the commercialization of superheroes, through corporate sponsorships (company logos on suits), endorsements, and reality-TV marketing. The main guy is Wild Tiger, a been-around-the-block hero who's disillusioned with the commercialization of heroics and cares more about saving people than doing his "job," and him getting saddled with the up-and-coming Barnaby Brooks Jr., a Bruce Wayne analogue who's using the super-heroics industry to find his parents' killer. The action and animation is excellent and the characters are all really wonderful; all the heroes get some time in the limelight. If you like superheroes and fun action anime, check it out.

I'm sorry guys, I really need to focus on getting Apex done. We will start the finals next week.

I appreciate your hard work tenfold.

Alright guys, I really need all final tracks this week, by Wednesday. It's a hard deadline because there's a physical run involved.

I set it up.

As Nabeel said, I picked up a deluxe this morning. DarkeSword if you want to add me.

Merged this into KS Central by mistake. Split back to its own thread. Check it out people!

Yeah, make a new thread for game discussion.

So Kickstarter has gotten pretty popular in the last year or so, especially in the gaming community; we even ran a pretty successful one this past fall. More and more people are getting involved in small projects and looking for funds, or just finding cool projects that they want to see funded; as a result, we've noticed an increase in Kickstarter threads. Because we don't want Community to turn into one big Kickstarter bulletin board, here are some rules we're enacting, effective immediately: If you are a posted or to-be-posted remixer and you want to promote a Kickstarter that you are involved in (for your new album, a game you're doing music for, etc.), you can make a new thread in Community with the details. If you are a posted or to-be-posted remixer and you just want to promote a Kickstarter you're backing or interested in seeing get funded, please post it in the Kickstarter Central thread. Anyone else, please post your kickstarter in the Kickstarter Central thread, regardless of whether it's your project or you're just a backer. If you are a posted or TPB remixer and you don't have an OC ReMix Artist Profile link in your forum title, then please provide a link to your artist profile or name the mix that's in our posting queue so that I know not to merge your thread into Kickstarter Central. EDIT: I'm extending this to other crowd-funding sites like Indiegogo as well.

My bad. Yeah, feel free to make a new thread on significant birthdays, but just make sure you're not doing it every day.

That wasn't actually my suggestion. There is no reason to make birthday threads for people who are not active in the community; meaning, don't just look at the "Today's Birthdays" thing at the bottom of the forum and call out the birthdays in a thread.

Pop electronic and pop rock are just very simple. The structure of these songs is easy to understand and easy to listen to. Verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-chorus-fadeout. Easy peasy. The mark of a great pop song is the hook; that bit of melody that digs right into you. Take a look at the history of American music. A little after the swing era, music sort of "split" in two directions; one was towards increased complexity (bebop, etc.), and one was towards simplicity (rhythm 'n blues, rock, etc.). The simple stuff became much more popular because it was easier to listen to, easier to dance to, and easier to play. Rock continued to evolve and spawn different off-shoots but the simplest and most accessible forms of the genre were always the most popular. Electronic music is the same way and pop electronic music borrows a lot of the same ideas from pop rock; catchy hook, diatonic harmonies, simple chord progressions, verse-chorus-bridge song structure, etc. Also just want to say that there's nothing bad about any of this.

can you send me a forum PM with those names?
