Oh I'll provide something alright... ...provided I know what's the procedure to submit. Do I send it as an OCR/OLR PM to you or do I send it like an OLR submission like normal?

Another highlight from Lucid Dreaming! I was wondering whether you two would chip in with the mix submission or not When hearing it in the listening party, it felt like it had a great position near the end of CD 1 as one to wind down after some of the liveliver performances there ("New Jack Mantle in particular). In regards to the arrangement, so much had been done to maintain both the melody line and the general atmosphere behind it to maintain the heart and soul behind the source material, while a lot of the original writing had worked out so well to keep with the track's gentle flow. The production's also very precise as we've come to expect from OA as well, though I did notice a little quirk. During the listening party I felt from listening it through headphones that it had a tendancy to weigh down your body really quickly, as if it wanted to enduce sleep. Did you sneak in some binaural beats into the pads? Because what you did there really seemed to amplify the general mood just as well as the arrangement did. Only downside I can see is the sudden ending, but maybe there was something intentional going on for the album that required it to end that way. That aside though, the collab worked extremely well, and I'm glad to see it not only follow up one of my OWN tracks (lol shameless self promotion), but more importantly to see it emerge from the album, onto the site and into musical bliss. That said, nice going you two!

Guys, please, before this starts as a troll thread against Zimmer and Madeline, remember that there have been a lot of people who have wanted to have their dreams come true by getting to sing in a videogame as popular as this - nearly 300 of them. Jill is already greatful enough for the huge amount of support she gained throughout this whole process, and her latest post in this thread is proof that she feels happy enough that she has so many people backing her up. So well played with the whole campaign, Mrs. Aversa! At the same time, we should also feel gracious for Madeline's victory. It may not have been what you guys would have wanted, but please remember to keep yourselves as good sports at the same time. It's her moment to bask, so be sure to congratulate her and everyone else who took part

As much as I'd love Retro Studios to handle Star Fox, I have this feeling that Retro Studios are likely to be more comfortable (to them) action/adventure oriented games, and with that said I can see them taking Kid Icarus to the Wii/WiiU well especially considering Pit's popularity in SSBB. But yeah, after what they did with Metroid and Donkey Kong, RS have shown that they are extremely capable in handling Nintendo's property

Speaking for k-wix, I recalled that he was more in favor of an order as according to flow rather than the in-game progression. There have been some past OCR albums that have managed to go by a traditional track order but have been criticised in regards to the pacing throughout, so this could be seen as a more different case. I hope this answers your question

Well, I downloaded the album via the zip and I opened it just fine in WinRAR. Did you try downloading the songs seperately via the Music page? Because if you can't get the torrent to work (as a student myself I remember being unable to use torrents and the IRC due to the university's firewall, so it seems like a common thing), and you can't get the zip to open either for some strange reason, then I'm pretty sure the individual mp3s - tedious as it might be - can still work out for you.

This sounds neat; funnily enough I was thinking of potential ideas for a Concrete Man arrangement when I saw the BiB tracklist. Nevertheless, since I'm on holiday from the 11th through to the 17th that'll probably mean that if I can get in I'll have to churn a finished arrangement in 2 days; no easy feat, but I'm sure I'll try my best

Way to go CHM! I knew you were going to do well on the project but wasn't expecting it to be one of the mixposts O_o From what I understood of your profile, you have a tendancy to take ending songs and present them in a strongly upbeat everybody's-buddies-again kind of way, which I've noted particularly from renditions of the ending themes for Kirby Super Star, Pop n' Twinbee and Zelda: ALTTP (as part of "Unsealed"). So you've really managed to take the personification one step further for Mega Man 9's ending, really working on the pacing throughout when measuring it up towards the original. I wish I could nitpick this as much as I can like some of your pre-2009 works, but to me, I feel this is amongst one of your best works yet, and a wonderful way to bring Back In Blue to a close. So, once again huge success with your track, and welcome to the "album closer" club, member #38! With love, member #19.

Glad to see it finally happen, as *well* as finally getting a sophomore mix on the site on your part, Dustin! I shall check out the whole thing this evening. That said, congratulations everyone!

It's kinda funny because Will discussed this with me over the IRC In this day and age, I've got more of a focus on games that I can somehow relate to either in regards to music or a level of nostalgia in regards to playing them. That means I'd struggle with games that I hadn't played/heard of before discovering OCRemix, though there have been some rare cases that community exposure (for example with the Dwelling of Duels' Castlevania 3 "Clockwork" special back in 2004) has encouraged me to check out the games themselves and see if there's anything I could feel within the source material. Two games that I already know that I can't do anything with these days however are Final Fantasy 7 and Super Mario RPG. I admit that both games have solid scores coming out from them and have reached out to the music passionists amongst them, but for me as games they felt rather subpar to other titles in the series (or in SMRPG's case, in comparison to Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series) and therefore strike a bad nerve in regards to the fanboys they draw. If I don't feel comfortable when certain games pop up in conversation, then it's most likely that I won't remix it.

I showed the trailer to a good friend back at the Scorehero forums, whom as a Mega Man fan is in high anticipation about the album. Amongst the track listing, he absolutely can't wait to hear (other than my track ) Hornet Man and Splash Woman. Given that he's also become a fan of Dj Mystix through OCR exposure, I can't be too surprised about his wicked taste. Roll on project release

Have a great birthday you two! To a coming arrangement face and a wonderful OCR judge

So I see you got some spots still available. I know I chickened out when I first supported the project, but I'm sure I can find a good way to stick back in. Do you have a taker for "Flight from the Holy Land"? If not, I can see if I can give it a go. It would help if I also knew when it's played in the game to get an idea on how to portray it, but if I get the information down, then I should be able to whip up something pretty smoothly. Thank you in advance

I have no idea that this even passed the evaluation phase. I still need to get in touch with you with a description, and did you somehow name my track like you did on the Cave Story project? I'm asking these questions because as far as I know, communication between project manager and remixers seems to have been pretty weak. Either way, I shall send it through

I've been starting to surf lately too. Managed to to get used to the whole thing, and found strong thrills among the faster ones there. Even surfed through random DoD mixes off-camera though and hoped to find some impressive ones, being especially wowed over the weekend by Snappleman's "Cthulhu's Asshole" from last month's Free Month Nonetheless, I guess with September coming I could surf through OCR's library in pursuit of some solid charts. Who knows, this might be a good way to be finally exposed to every single mix that exists o_O

There's actually a Minecraft mix waiting to be posted. And I am sure you'll be very pleased to see how it turns out

This source was covered in a PRC 3 years ago. Fun round too

If you want the shoe to drop, it's most likely not going to come from me. Though, I'm not going all-praiseish on this one either. It took me a while to get into Anti-Syne's style, but when I did not long after "Night City Funk" came out I then saw it to be very technically accomplished for a new face, and managed to be very appropriate for both the source material at hand and a weekend soundtrack. Like all electronica arrangements it tends to play safe, but the stylistic choice of writing definitely more than made up for it. This on the other hand kind of plays a little too close to the previous submission's technical formula and is most likely going to draw some stylistic comparisons between them. As a track, it also has that listenable charm to it and can easily fit quite well with other artists of the genre, but it has a tendancy to be dragged down not only by his previous submission's successes and the emulation for it, but also for what can be seen as some slightly weaker writing, particluarly noting a lot of lower-frequency notation that might clutter things and a not-quite-as-stellar movement towards the ending. Don't get me wrong, I actually like the track a fair deal mostly due to the quality production techniques applied. But if there's anything that guys on Youtube and Facebook may show some discontempt with (rather than the more-than-obvious "techno anti-bias"), perhaps what I stated might be a handful of potential reasonings.

Cut me some slack Brandon, I've barely been re-active for a few months so it's taking time to re-adjust If there's anything I did that upsetted anyone in that thread, then I'm sorry for it. But honestly, no one on the project should take the blame for what could be seen as a single person's mistake so I still am saying my irritation over this issue is well justified.

I remember this from the One vs Many DoD back in June; was a little stumped over why it was merely going to be an Alternative entry. With no familiarity over the source material, and remembering the skills you had in previous years, the least I did was managed to check out what I could. I did notice on the first listen that the rhythm guitar playing felt really loose; no idea how it can be seen as an artistic choice as it felt more like a technical concern to me and makes it feel difficult to folow the rhythm. There have been artists that have similarly struggled past the panel for backing instrument timing, so don't feel too discouraged. The writing here though is strong, and in regards to vocal performance it seems as if you have also shown some improvement there within the years you took a break from this community. So I can say that's a great thing to have prospered upon. Also out of personal preference it kind of seems to end a bit quick for me and might've warranted another verse and a longer solo after it a la Deep Purple, but it might have depended on how people might've wanted to expect from the track. Don't take it personally ^^* It's a shame that you don't really want to work on another revision because I liked the ideas the first time around, and I had a lot of confidence that you'd refine things for a resub. But I know that with great improvement to your vocal tone and your ideas still being in place, I can see you being re-posted here soon enough. Keep up the effort

I could've sworn when I first saw Ethan Mars in Heavy Rain, I thought "this character looks like my old Music Technology tutor back at University". Then on closer look between the pair, I could've seen a perfect match if Ethan shaved more often. I apologise for the small picture, but that was the biggest resolution of the tutor photo I could even locate.
