Except in cases where the remix title is too long, and the Roulette module's width is extended to compensate. By the way, it looks kind of odd when that happens. Maybe set the width of the R.R.R. module to 2x the width of the other modules. All that's (currently) there is white space, so unless you have other plans, there'd be no loss. edit: Then again, maybe that's not a good idea... especially given what the page looks like on lower resolutions. I'm just being nit-picky now : give the Russian ReMix Roulette an icon like the rest of the sections, too. An extremely small version of this, perhaps: edit: mockup with crappy icon:

I guess I fall into category 2. I tend to download more new remixes from games and artists I recognize. (and when the torrents come out, I just get everything that I missed.) That being said, some of my favorite remixes on this site are from games that I've never played and by artists that I'm not familiar with. I kinda miss VGDJ and it's weekly clips of the latest remixes. Back when it was active, I was closer to a 'category 1 listener'; I'd listen to the previews and determine whether or not I wanted to download a particular remix.

Game: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project [NES, Konami 1991] Song: 'Theme of Half Shell' Composers: Yuichi Sakakura, Tomoya Tomita, Kouzou Nakamura Links: NSF; track 11 MP3 YouTube; starts at 5:25 As much as I searched, I couldn't find a single midi version of this track. Instead, here's a MIDI conversion of the NSF track. Apart from some of the nasty pitch bends, it's a half decent conversion. It's useless for anyone to directly 'rip' from, though; the tempo is set at 30.

What he said.

It's now the fourth. And I'm pretty sure it's the only one on the first few pages to use it in this context.

I've been downloading everything to a single folder and manually sorting everything out into categories later. These plugins should make the process MUCH easier. Thanks!

I just tried it out. Like others in this thread have pointed out, the timing of the blocks didn't always correspond with the music. There were certain sections of songs that I tried that lined up significantly better than what's shown in the youtube video. At times, it was like the in-game sound effects were like an extra percussion track, but it usually it only lasted for a few seconds at a time. It did a fairly good job determining the movement of the 'road', though. I tried this remix, and when I hit the section at 3:40, it was like a frickin' roller coaster.

I've been using AVG for antivirus, and Spybot for spyware. As for everything else: browser: Firefox, with IE tab plugin for the scattered page that requires Internet Explorer media: Winamp for most audio and video, and Real Alternative / Quicktime Alternative for everything else. emulators: ZSNES, Kega Fusion, Project64, Nestopia, Visual Boy Advance for GBA/GB, and No$GBA for DS instant messaging: I've been using Windows Live Messenger as my main client, and I use trillian for AIM and IRC. torrents: uTorrent.

I'm not quite convinced. Even though I'm admittedly not that familiar with saxophones, I'm pretty sure that what I'm hearing isn't a closing or sticking pad (well, I'm hearing those too, but that's not what I'm talking about ) The clicks I am talking about have a very distinct sound. Even when looking at the file in an audio editor, the two sounds have a very different appearance. On the left is one of the louder of the pad closing clicks (from approximately 0:21). Notice how it's longer and unevenly spread among the frequencies. Compare that to the image of what I believe to be an unintentional click (0:41, right channel only), which is compact and evenly spread out among the frequencies. It seems unlikely that this sound is caused by a closing or sticking pad. Actually, it more closely resembles the kind of click you might hear on a vinyl record: (the scale is different in this image, so it appears narrower.) It's those clicks which I attempted to clean up, not the natural pad-closing clicks. Also, please know that I'm not trying to start an argument or anything like that. I like horn arrangements in general, and I sincerely love the song (and the rest of the project, for that matter!) I'm just, like I stated before, very nit-picky when it comes to this sort of thing. Too picky, perhaps.

I'm part way through listening to the project now for the first time, and so far, it's pretty impressive. (and now, the reason I made this post:) I'm listening to track 4 (Starbright), and there seem to be several obviously unintentional clicks in the song. At first, I thought it might have been just a botched torrent download, but they're also there in the MP3s mirrored on the site. The clicks become most noticeable around 1:44, 2:10, and 2:38. It almost sounds as if it was ripped from a damaged CD or something. Normally, I'd ask if a fixed version could be posted (I'm very nit-picky about this kinda thing), but given the circumstances, it's probably not going to be available. Instead, I've taken the liberty of attempting to 'repair' the track. I've done my best to preserve the unaffected parts; all of the de-clicking was applied manually and very selectively. I've also encoded the MP3 at a higher bitrate in an attempt to reduce transcoding losses. http://jmr.sitesled.com/04%20-%20the%20prophet%20of%20mephisto%20-%20starbright%20(Under%20the%20Moonlight)%20(repaired).mp3

Nice beard, Rexy.

http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12041 I'm not sure, but the impression that I was getting from him is that it was near completion.

Does anyone know where I can find that hack? I'd prefer to be able to watch these with the audio in sync.

Electronic / Hip Hop Ratatat: myspace - official site I'm honestly not sure how I would describe the music of Ratatat (I've never been that good with genres). It's like an amalgamation of rock, electronica, and hip hop elements, and yet, it doesn't seem to fit in either of these categories. While their work is largely instrumental, they have released several hip hop remix albums, the latest of which is available as a free download on their web site. I first heard these guys in a , and after checking out the 'Classics', I was hooked. Their music has this... I don't know... enthusiasm, and always puts me into a good mood. Recommended songs: Lex (from Classics, 2006); Tacobel Canon (from Classics, 2006); Seventeen Years (from Ratatat, 2004)

-Cell Phone (Samsung SPH-a580) -Camera (GE A830) -Barenaked Ladies: Talk To The Hand (Live CD/DVD) -Led Zeppelin: Early Days and Latter Days (2CD) -Harry Potter and the Order Of The Pheonix (DVD) -Ken Follett: The Pillars of the Earth (novel, hadn't heard of it before, looks interesting) -Touch-screen Chess game -A poster, which I haven't opened yet, so I don't really know what it is. Plus, some 'gifts' to myself: -RCA Vinyl Record Care Kit (gave one to my brother as well) -Two 2GB SD Memory Cards (yay for boxing day sales!) I never got much gaming-related stuff this year, but that's understandable considering I only have a GBA and a laptop that's hardly powerful enough to run anything. My younger brother, on the other hand, received Tetris DS, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and Sonic Rush, so I plan to have a go at those before I head back for university.

Expect a PM with my track early tomorrow morning. There's still a few small changes I'd like to make to mine before I sub it. It's no where near as complete as I originally planned it to be, but some of my ideas simply were too difficult for me to implement successfully. However, I feel the version I have now is still worth including in the project. EDIT: Sorry... it's taking a bit longer than expected. I'm rendering what is hopefully the finalized version now. By the way, since Ryan doesn't actively check out the boards here, he probably won't see the message you have posted, Dyne. The impression I was getting from him was that if no one recorded vocals for his Mary, Did You Know, the current, instrumental version would be the final version. I feel pretty comfortable saying that even if he doesn't get in touch with you in the next few days, you can include the track anyway.

Now that exams are over, I've finally got some time to work on my track for this project. Little Drummer Boy WIP3 - WIP thread What's new: 'tweaked' mixing, slight tempo changes throughout the song, other small changes here and there. What's old: violin sample. I've yet to find anything free that sounds any better. Suggestions please!

I've finally finished exams, so I've finally got some time to work on this. jmr - Little Drummer Boy WIP3 (Dec 15, 2007) What's new: 'tweaked' mixing, slight tempo changes throughout the song, other small changes here and there.

Even though I'll be happy with nearly anything, I'd very much like a new camera. Even though I'd prefer a DSLR, I'd settle for a decent compact camera.

When browsing emulators alphabetically (ie clicking one of the letters on the top of the page, and then clicking the emulator tab), the list shows up as blank. Using the letter Z, for example: I'm not sure if this a side effect of the new listing format that was introduced recently. I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Windows XP, if that helps. EDIT: Happens in IE7 too.

This thread needs more eye-rolling emoticon action:

From the first post: The second one's O Come, O Come, Emanuel, not O Come All Ye Faithful. Can't wait to hear the final versions, by the way. Also, bump. EDIT: I still think we should try to get this song on the project.

The instructions for fixing this problem were posted on the project website.

I would think he's talking about a regular turnable with a USB interface. I've never used one myself. I'm pretty sure the majority of them are belt driven, though. I'm no DJ, but I've read that direct drive is preferred. (EDIT: Upon closer inspection, it looks like there are several USB turntables of the direct drive variety.)

Have a good one, Matt.
