There is no need to make multiple threads about this. Also I don't know how this ended up in the music production forum when it should be in recruit & collaborate. Moved.

caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

You should post links to existing content. It's not only allowed, it's encouraged, and essentially required if you want anyone to take you seriously.

Closing this. I know I'm going to sound like a jerk saying this, but I'm just going to say it anyway because I can't figure out a way to say it without sounding like a jerk (and this is totally rhetorical): Who are you? I mean honestly, from your post history I can see that you have around 50 posts to your name and you've only been registered here at OCR for like a year. Last thread in Workshop was in August? That's not really "gone for a long time." You're asking people here whether or not they want YOU to make more remixes, but unless I'm mistaken and have really been missing out on your work, most people here aren't familiar with you or your work anyway, so they don't care; and I don't mean "don't care" in malicious way, just in a totally indifferent way. Just make the music you want to make, and post it if you want to post it. Asking people if they want to hear it just feels like you're trying to draw attention to yourself without actually doing something worth paying attention to.

Alright folks, I'm gonna close this up. For the past few months it's basically just been someone posting his latest review in the thread with barely any actual discussion going on. A forum thread on OC ReMix should not simply be a feed of another site's content.

Just to clarify, the KoF XIII version of Good Bye Esaka was not part of the initial release of KoF XIII. It was included as a part of the NESTS Kyo DLC. That's probably where some of the confusion comes from.

Same basic colors. More contrast though. Greys are darker.

v6 is not a mockup. What you saw at Mag was a screenshot of the existing dev copy. We are currrently using v5 right now. v4 was the initial changeover to the white and orange, but the site has changed so much since then; forum software change, no more sidebar, lots of subtle stylistic tweaks, etc.

Just wanna chime in here. I was at Apex and saw the game these guys were demoing. These guys are legit; they have a really great looking game on their hands. You should all check it out.

Video game music isn't "more real" than any other kind of music. Saying that is just as bad as those folks who write-off VGM because it's from video games, saying things like "it's not real music" or "it's not legitimate." There is also a lot of music from video games that is totally boring, formulaic, and forgettable. I love VGM, but there is literally SO MUCH music out there that is brilliant and worth listening to that isn't VGM. All you have to do is look around for 5 minutes on the internet and you will find some really amazing stuff.

Mike I just want to let you know that your remix in particular was a BIG HIT with Apex staff.

I'm really excited to help OC ReMix get involved in some new ways of promoting video game music; making an official album for a an event is something we've never done before and it's been really fun and interesting working with the folks over at Apex Series. I want to give a big shout out to John "Alex Strife" Lugo over at Apex who came up with this whole thing, Cristin "Crismas" DeSaro, another Apex-ite who put together the killer album art, John Ryan, the fellow who wrote the excellent original theme for Apex 2013, and of course all of the OC ReMixers who stepped up and put out some really killer remixes. I hope everyone enjoys the album! And if you can't make it out to Apex this year, make sure to be there the next! -- Shariq “DarkeSword” Ansari

OMG APEX TODAY We're heading out soon from Casa de DarkeSword. See you all there!

Merging this back over here. My suggestion was specifically for RWTS because this compo models itself after the TV show in presentation.

Singing Mountain specifically is allowed because it is present in the game's data. It's in the ROM of Chrono Trigger. Hidden Palace Zone is also accessible in the sound test for Sonic 2 with out any kind of hacking or digging necessary. It's in game. For other tracks, such as something "written for the game and included on the OST," if it isn't in the game data anywhere, it's not fair game for remixing, and you should not try to submit a remix using that as source music. Also, just as a note, when asking these kinds of questions, don't just ask in the general sense. If you have a specific example of a song you want to remix, you need to be explicit about it and tell us exactly what you're planning to do. Asking about hypothetical situations will only get you generalized answers. If we know the specific track in question, we can investigate its specific eligibility. Also remember; this is Ask a Judge. If you're not a Judge (or a staff member with an official answer), don't answer the questions. OCR doesn't always necessarily do things based on precedent; standards and rules have evolved and changed. What was permissible years ago (in the context of submissions) is not necessarily permissible today, and vice versa. You can't always just look at remixes posted years ago and say "YUP IT'S OKAY!" We make an effort to be consistent and up front about things like standards and source eligibility, but OCR is 10+ years old and is a living and growing website. Things can change, so be careful about assumptions and presumptions.

put your goddamn pants back on you're going to get us kicked out

Spoke with PH at Mag. Don't worry guys, there's a plan. GMRB has not been abandoned.

Please use the Pokémon X & Y thread to talk about Pokémon X & Y.

If you're going to be doing photo edits featuring people, you need to check with the person/people being used in the photo edit before posting it to the forums. I don't want to see people start posting potentially offensive photo edits here on OCR if the people featured in said edits are not cool with it.

You should do a results show as a podcast or something at the end of each episode.

Currently chilling at Jill and Andy's before making the drive home. It was nice to see so many new faces this year at Mag, especially a lot of the mega man compo crew. I want to especially thank all the folks that came out to our workshop panel on Friday. Last year's was kind of iffy but I think people had a lot more fun this year with zircon up there live-mixing. Oddly enough no real catchphrases this from this weekend, but I suppose that's alright. Also just want to say that you guys should never feel too awkward to come up and say hi. Magfest is exactly the place to do that! Not really sure how mine and Jarel's room turned into a party room so often over the weekend, especially since we had no booze, but thank you to everyone for stopping by and not making a mess. We're planning on doing more Kamen Rider stuff next year, so watch out. Hopefully I'll see even more of you next year!

You can use your full name as your artist name here on OCR.

There are still chords. The chord progressions are just very simple and spread out over a lot of measures. A riff doesn't replace a chord. A riff is just a small chunk of melodic line. There is still a chord progression, even if all of the notes in the chord are not necessarily represented in the bass or accompaniment or whatever. You're jumbling up a lot of different things here but there's nothing special about it. It's just really simple chord progressions.

We actually don't have to go to the airport on Wednesday. She's driving up with starla and Rama.
