We will never change this. The artist is the person who made the piece of music.
As for your other suggestions, it's all being worked on. I'm not sure why genre is a URL in any of the OC ReMixes; I don't think we've ever tagged anything like that. Weird.
Believe me, Larry's already got a lot of this done, but we've got other things in the pipeline that sort of take priority. You'll see the improvements to the tags once we find a good time to roll everything out.
Not a big deal - but technically the "ARTIST" tag refers to the "PERFORMING ARTIST," in most cases this IS the person who made the music - but in a lot of cases this is someone else. For the sake of OC Remix this is nearly entirely moot. Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Niiiiice... glad I don't listen to pop music... although my luck the next metal song I listen to will have those same chords, lol.
On a related note:
Along the same lines as Axis of Awesome.
LOVE this video.

I created a Daft Punk station on Pandora yesterday and who should pop up while I'm at work today? Zircon! It is quite awesome that a member of our community is being held up right next to Daft Punk, et. al.
Off topic: Saw your email, saw uc.edu, laughed. I'm a CCM student. (:

LYRICS:
you know what i need,
some time away to get some air
i just can’t stay
you know what i think,
i oughta be chasing my dreams and you’re bringin’ me down
i’ve lost my way
she’s like the stars above
you know she’ll burn in your heart forever
she sings her song and she will
shine tonight
she’ll light up the whole sky like fire
when her heart sings out she’ll know
you know what i miss
those days they were just you and me
they’ve got me holdin’ on to those fragments of my memory
and girl, you know what i wish
that you were missin’ me and longin’ for my kiss
and then she’ll see, she’s never been so sure
she wipes away the tears that set her free
and i can see, you’ll never be that sure of me
so wipe away your tears and we can be
like the stars above,
you know you’ll burn in my heart forever
so hear my song and we will
shine tonight,
we’ll light up the whole sky just like fire you and me
so sing your heart baby please
(you say you lost your way but i’ll never leave your side
you got me tangled and i know i want you mine
you say you lost your way girl, you say you lost way
just look to the sky and you’ll see me shine
we’ll light the sky ablaze and sing our song they’ll hear
our voices carry on our passion it knows no fear
and when you say you just don’t know
you’ll look and you’ll see me)

Seems like we need a "vocal remix alliance" support group (;

Obvious cheesy percussion and transitional issues to be worked out:

From what I've read and otherwise come to understand, the only possibility that exists of an FF7 remake is one where all of the original leads for the project were all involved and 100% committed. Seeing as SE is branching out as prophet pointed out, I really doubt this will happen - in fact, the only situation I could see this occurring in is in a world where SE is not doing well financially and they need something guaranteed to revive the flow of sweet money honey.
Not saying I wouldn't like to see it, though!

Just saw katethegreat on here. Awesome.

WIP on April 1st? Gotcha - should be good!

Hey all!
I'm pleased to announce that "Songs for the Cure '10" was released yesterday on March 1st. This year we've got killer remixes from big giant circles, Bradley Burr, FFMusic DJ, Stemage (Metroid Metal), and tons of other insanely talented artists - including Rellik's band Battlecake doing a Chrono Cross remix! (There's even a Final Fantasy 8 pop remix by yours truly). Also, we've got Meteo Xavier and Michael Huang, two fantastic musicians collaborating for a wonderful solo piece, in addition to a lot of extremely talented singer/songwriters like David DiMuzio and Melinda Hershey. Additionally there are lots of CHIPTUNEs coming from veterans like Zen Albatross, Inverse Phase, and others. For those who like the new side of classical music we've got two WONDERFUL new compositions by composers Danny Clay and T.R. Beery ("In the morning," and "7 breaths") which are both live performances.
The CD is free to stream on the website (http://music.cancerdrive.org), but we're really trying to raise money for the American Cancer Society, so PLEASE consider buying any tracks you like, or hopefully the entire album. Also, you can purchase the 2disc set for $22 - which is an amazing buy. Please check out the fundraiser and let us know what you think.
Thanks!

I LOVE the Duke Nukem II track - if you're going to try to submit it you'll have to cut the sampled intro, but I personally like it very much as it is. Great work.

Oh I know that guy! He slept on my floor at MAGFest. No floor of mine has ever been so honored.

Can't disagree with you there. As far as mashups go, there's nothing too imaginative done with these ones, save for the (personal) glee I got upon hearing Ante Up on top of the battle theme. I've been listening to the Beatles vs Wu Tang mash up CD (I know, beatles mashups are played out) and if you want a better example of a GOOD mashup CD, I would recommend that one.

Kirby Motherfucking Super Star.
Terranigma and Earthbound are supposed to be good, but I've never really had the chance to get into them. Same with Secret of Mana.
Contra III. Super Punch-Out. Link to the Past. Not going to recommend Super Metroid because I actually didn't like it much, but I'm sure someone will.
All of this and Lufia 2. Especially Kirby. Geeeez.

Thanks everyone for supporting this! The donations are coming in pretty steadily - but we've got a LONG way to go to hit $10,000. Still, I am confident we can do it!

Hey everyone,
I am in charge of the "Indie Music Cancer Drive" which puts out an album every year to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Last year we had huge success in raising over $6,000, but this year our goal is $10,000.
Please take a moment to check out our website and video here:
This year's artists include:
Select Start
Big Giant Circles
Stemage (of Metroid Metal)
Prophet of Mephisto (Bradley Burr)
FFMusicDJ
Rellik's Band Battlecake
and a TON of others that aren't OCR related creating an extremely diverse mix of music.
If you donate $25 or more by March 1st, 2010 you will receive a FREE physical disc as a gift from us, but all donations of $10 or more receive digital copies when the album is completed.
Thanks for your time!

Hate to be a pain but my claim on "Immoral Melody" appears to have vanished!

Let me just say how much I love that fistpump picture. The shirt is mostly unbuttoned for a reason: each button represents two drinks I had taken.
This is awesome, I'm putting all these on my digital picture frame at work to keep me company until next year.
I KNEW I had bumped into you - I was waiting for an elevator whilst you were describing that counting mechanism. You went into how you'd end up with your shirt off. XD

I utilize EWQL Symphonic Orchestras Platinum, but here is a piece I did with gold:
http://music.jwmusic.org/track/finale-and-a-lost-dream?permalink
It is a few years old at this point, but I think it's still a worthy example of what you can do with the EWQL package. PLAY has gotten to the point where it's quite fine, for me - but I'm going from a DAW with WinXP and (at the time 2gb) 4gb ram. I have no hiccups with it in Sonar.
MY BIGGEST ADVICE, regardless of tools you use: Grab a book on Orchestration or Digital Orchestration specifically. It's best to have one that focuses on traditional training and one that focuses on the MIDI side of it (There are a few REALLY good books for this).
oh...
and listen.
and listen and listen and listen.
ps you can download that whole album for free, I didn't change the minimum price on a track-by-track basis.

Ok, sure, I can play too (;

3) Getting 15th (14th? 16th? 18th?) place in DoD was alright, but I especially enjoyed the warm congratulations and cheering
and who could forget being randomly foisted into the air by drunk indie game composer panelists....MAN - that sounds like my kind of family-friendly-indie-fun!! (;
It was wonder to meet everyone, you guys were all great, and another apology to biggiantcircles who crashed on our floor when the heat was broken. I was there too man, cold floors are NO fun.

This is pretty good - there is a lot of good material.
I personally think the constant percussive beats that come on 1, 2+, and 4 are too repetitive as they continue through the entire piece in some voice. I also think there could be more original material and a better outro by far, there simply isn't enough material here for a submission I'd say.
Even still, this is pretty good, keep at it!

Thank you SO much for your comments everyone! I'm looking forward to the next mix we put together and I'm listening to your feedback.
In the meantime, we've got a remix of this song (yes, a remix of a remix) which was a bonus track for the Songs for the Cure '10 album:

Thanks!
