I prefer my music at 24fps, anyway. 
It's more "cinematic" that way

Only thing that would make it perfect would be if you could legally load more games onto it.

Hey everyone, I've made a new thread for the OCR playlist initiative. Since making the old thread we figured out a better process for putting them together. So let's start fresh here. I'll try to keep the first post updated with new playlists as we publish them.

During one of OCR's staff meetings Larry and I figured out some really great tools that YouTube has for creating playlists. In addition to game-specific playlists, we've started putting together some themed playlists with the help of some other staff members. Check 'em out.
Hit the Gym, Bro: ReMixes for Working Out Don't Sleep on This: ReMixes from Obscure Games Rock Out with Your Clock Out: Rock and Metal ReMixes Take it Easy: Relaxing ReMixes YouTube allows us to deputize people so that they can add videos to playlists we create; if anyone wants the collab link to add OCR videos to these playlists, post here to request access. Once you get access, you can start adding videos. Remember, OCR channel videos only! We know that we don't have all of our albums up on YouTube yet; we're working out a solution to that, so please don't add non-posted album tracks uploaded to other YouTube channels.
If you have an idea for a themed playlist that you'd like to create for OCR's YouTube channel, post here with your idea and I can hook it up for you.

We've been using IRC for many years but anyone who hangs out in #ocremix knows that it's been a bit dead lately.
We've decided to set up a Discord server for OC ReMix in the hopes that people will be more inclined to use a more modern group-chat program.
Join the OC ReMix Discord Server
Discord can be used in-browser and also has desktop and mobile apps, and one REALLY nice feature is integrated voice chat, so if people want to use the OCR Discord to get some gaming chat going (Overwatch, LoL, etc.) we can set some channels up.
Right now we've got a Community channel (for music and games discussion), a Workshop channel (for posting WIPs), and a Compo channel (for running compos and hosting listening parties).
As always, community rules apply, i.e. don't be a jerk, etc. Join us for some discussion!

This thread is for posting and discussing VGM remixes and arrangements that aren't published by or found on OC ReMix. Basically if you find a cool remix on YouTube or something and feel like sharing it with folks in the community, this is the place to post it. A couple of ground rules before we get started:
Video game music remixes and arrangements only. Add some comments about why you like the music you're posting. Don't post music without discussing the music other people post. We want to foster discussion here, not create a sterile feed of content. Don't post your own music in this thread; rules about artists posting their own music in Community still apply. Current and TBP ReMixers are allowed to create new threads for their own albums. Current and TPB ReMixers should post any singles in the Workshop. Non-posted artists should only post their albums and singles in the Workshop. Don't post links to unlicensed remixes that are being sold for profit. Hopefully this solves the issue of "I found a cool remix on YouTube and want to share it but it's not mine so it doesn't really make sense to post it in the Workshop but if I post it in Community it would look like I'm advertising and DarkeSword gets pissed about that stuff what is that guy's problem anyway he's such a jerk sometimes..."
Anyway, get crackin' people. Show us some cool tunes.

Ok here we go.
I like this because Magical Sound Shower.  Also Sax.

The Requests forum is for you to post your ideas and requests for songs and games you'd like so see remixed. This forum is limited to requests for video game music remixes only.
Posting a Thread
Your thread should have a descriptive title, preferably with the games or source tune names in it. Don't be vague with topic titles, like "please remix this" or "can't believe this hasn't been done yet..."
If you can, include a link to the source tunes so that artists can actually listen to what you want remixed. YouTube is a good place to find source tunes, but you can also post Soundcloud link or links to the official OSTs on Bandcamp.
Be descriptive about what you'd like to hear. This includes genre/style considerations.
Don't post too many requests in a small amount of time. Try to limit it to one or two per week. Use your best judgement.
If your request is for a specific artist to make a remix, consider contacting them via PM or social media rather than making a thread.
If you're an artist, don't post a thread asking for suggestions of what to remix. Just browse the forum for suggestions, that's what it's for.
Conduct
Be polite.
Don't act entitled.  Artists don't owe you anything. Your request might be filled, or it might not.
Don't badmouth OC ReMix or any of the music already on the site. For example, if you want a metal remix of a song from Sonic 3, don't complain about all the non-metal Sonic 3 remixes we already have of that song, or that you don't like the metal remix of that song that we already have.
Don't act indignant or fake indignance that a game or song you like hasn't been remixed yet. There are plenty of valid reasons for your favorite game or song to have been overlooked.
Don't post in someone's request thread shooting down their request. Anyone is allowed to request any game or song to be remixed, even if that game or song already has a lot of remixes. If someone wants to request more Ice Cap Zone or Schala's Theme, that's absolutely fine.
Don't ask for or provide links to illegal original and arranged soundtrack downloads.

Honestly don't overthink the rules for Requests.
Just make a thread for what you want. "Hey can someone make a remix of Super Mario Bros. Overworld mixed with Sonic's Green Hill Zone? Here are the sources." Done.
I've made a new Guidelines thread. Old one is a bit outdated.

Agreed. I know it's not a popular opinion (like.. anywhere Zelda is discussed), but I actually kinda maybe sorta really despise the whole timeline thing. I suspect some flack for it after this, but whatever. Opinions gotta opin.. ion. Opinionate. Opin-... Shit.
Part of it is the fact that I have never seen any of the games as part of a continuous series. I always viewed them as stand alone games that shared certain elements and characters. So I find the timeline idea kind of pointless. I don't need to know any of it to enjoy any of the game. You can play them in any order and they still work, as a series and as individual games. The overly mixed-up branching timeline mess makes it even less helpful. None of it affects the ability to play the games in any way. And frankly, I find the notion that I have know about timeline to enjoy Zelda to be laughable at best, insulting to my intelligence at worst.
Yes, there actually are some out there that honestly believe you can only truly appreciate Zelda is you embrace the timeline. If you don't, you're not truly a fan. Personally, that kind of elitist fanboy snobbery pisses me off the most. Like, more than people that don't use their signal lights when changing lanes.
The other part of it is that I've found the timeline theorist subset of Zelda fandom to approach obsessive, and even cringe-levels of fanboyism. I've seen entire threads, 500 pages long or more, just yelling at each other over how everyone else is wrong and only their particular version works. Hell, even after Hyrule Historia came out and showed the official canon timeline, they still argued over it. "NINTENDO IS WRONG, HERE'S WHY!: A COMPREHENSIVE BREAKDOWN OF THE FIVE BRANCH TIMELINE!" wasn't unheard of for months afterwards.
Yeah, I get it's fun to speculate and all that, but god damn, the vocal minority of them has ruined that whole thing for me. I can't stand reading timeline stuff even to this day. You guys aren't that bad, but I still avoid all timeline talk when I can. I don't even read any posts about it any more.
So maybe news about the game goes here, and timeline stuff can go in its own thread. I'm here for news about the new game, maybe even updates on recent games.
(braces for downvotes/thumbs down/wait do we even have anything like that here/minuses)

Yes.

yeah I have all the music, I just need to prep the release.

When mentioning the site in written interviews and other things, remember that we have official ways of referring to the site:

OverClocked ReMix - Full name of the site. Capital O, C, R, and M
OC ReMix - Abbreviates OverClocked. There's a space between OC and ReMix.
ocremix - All lowercase, no space. Generally used for official account usernames, URLs, and anywhere else where capital letters and spaces aren't available.
OCR - Three letter acronym for the site.

Common mistakes/what not to do:

Overclocked Remix - Needs capital C and M.
OverClocked ReMiX - Never capitalize the X.
OCReMix - When capitalizing, always put a space between OC and ReMix
OCRemix - Needs a space between OC and R, and the M should be capitalized.
OCRM - The M is not part of the abbreviation
OverClocked - Don't leave out ReMix.
overclocked_remix or oc_remix - if you can't use spaces, don't use underscores and don't capitalize anything, just use "ocremix"
O-Clocked - just...no.

Dropping a previous rant of mine:
I'm really miffed that people are comparing the new Zelda game to Elder Scrolls and Fallout because... open world? That's it? It's like people think they invented the concept of open world play or something. There are virtually NO similarities. Gameplay, narrative, aesthetic. Nothing is even remotely similar except for the land being large and you can explore it. Weak.

For an actual comparison that draws a real parallel, Breath of the Wild looks a lot like Shadow of Mordor. It's very similar in terms of how you explore; you can navigate these big sectors of the world and come upon enemy encampments. You can mark your enemies, plan your attack, parkour around and climb to get to vantage points, survey the landscape to plan your next route, etc.

There are also other elements of action RPG, a bit like Dark Souls. You have weapons, durability, dodges, counters, etc. Besides that it's also still Zelda with things like flying with the leaf. 

There is a comparison that actually makes sense and isn't just "omg open world it's Skyrim"
