    The project files before blowing them up are 356 x 356. The CD is 300 x 300.

    And of course people are allowed to print them. By providing such things, it keeps the OCR staff in the peoples' good graces as said staffers plan their diabolical schemes of evil intentions.

    For me, one of the standout soundtracks back in the day was the one for Master of Monsters. While I'm sure some would still call it "background music" for various reasons, virtually the entire soundtrack has an orchestrated structure to it that makes it feel like more than some catchy diddy done to keep the game from being quiet. Whether it's the haunting and solemn " ," the opening march of " " that was getting you ready for battle, or the sinister and impending ," the whole soundtrack felt like something made more for cinematic punctuation, rather than to be hummed as you played. All of the songs also run the gamut of moods, from upbeat and almost playful, to sad, to dark and brooding, to inspiring.Hayato Matsuo did one hell of a job with his debut soundtrack.

    Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Sure, the cart's small, but it got lodged near the end and had to be removed manually at the doctor's. Keep that in mind the next time someone says, "You talk about that damn game one more time, and I'll cram it down your throat."

    I take it that means I'll be seeing some info coming my way soon?

    I thought the ground felt cold. Guess Hell really did freeze over. I haven't gotten to listen to it yet, but congrats to everyone for keeping on the proverbial path, and seeing that this thing came to fruition. It was a damn long road for a single-game remix album, so kudos to all to be sure.

    Huzzah! I look forward to getting all of the info I need to wrap up the cover art side of things.

    The synths and mixing, or Titanfall?

    You wonderful woman! I'd hug you if it were possible to do so digitally. Many, many thanks, Rexy.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/enms4rvcs7si4rs/Unknown_lick.mp3 http://thecoop2.webng.com/Unknown_lick.mp3 While this may or may not belong in the Help section, I figured this would be a better forum to put it since my threads in that forum haven't brought me much luck over the years. So yeah, I woke up yesterday, and for God only knows what reason, I had this guitar riff/lick stuck in my brain. For the last day, I've tried to think of where it's from, but nothing will bring any other parts of the song forward. I threw together a quick rendition of it that I think is pretty close, and I'm hoping someone here will be familiar with the song this is from. It's a published song, and the riff/lick is being played on either a pedal steel, or on a guitar that's being used a bit like a pedal steel with the bends in it. I think it may have even been used in a commercial or two, but I'm not certain. Thanks for reading, and please... help a brain in need

    Another update on my end. The front and back are done, as is the CD label. All I need are the track order, remix titles, the official website URL, and the OCR album number this will end up being, and this is completed.

    Well, the cover's basically done. I have two versions of it; a front back/cover combo with the staff credits and OCR legalese, and a four page booklet with two additional pages of remix credits. I just need all of the proper track names and such (not to mention their final order for the project), and that'll all be done. I'm keeping the other pages relatively simple so that everything can be finished up for the June 10 deadline, but I think the cover turned out pretty well. I know Brandon only asked for a cover, but a cover needs at least a back. And if you've got a cover, you'll need a CD label (which I'm doing). So should anyone feel like burning a CD of this project, they'll have some art to flesh it all out for a slimline jewelcase.

    Good to hear it was resolved. I've been thinking about submitting a couple of my more recent remixes to the site, and was hoping it didn't end up being dealt an untimely demise.

    Considering the gratuitous amount of sprites I used for the website and album art with the Gunstar Heroes album, unless this GameBoy album is going to be actually sold for cash money, I don't think there's going to be an issue using game sprites (excluding anything by Squenix of course).

    As for the cover, I think I've already got an idea forming, so hopefully I should have a WIP of it by the end of May. Just remember, this is going to be a 1x1 pixel cover that's enlarged. So expect squares in yo face.

    SEGA Genesis music. I know there are a decent number of fans here on OCR, but the nature of the Genesis sound chip always seems to rub a rather vocal portion of haters out there, the wrong way. It gets compared to the SNES' midi synths, and then lambasted for "not sounding like anything." It's kind of strange in a way. In this age where electronic, synth-laden music is so popular, you'd think a lot more people would be open to the synth sounds the Genesis sound chip pumps out. But I guess not.

    I can certainly give such a cover a whirl. A couple of questions; what games are featured on the album, and when would the cover need to be done by?

    As for what I do to make the covers, it's usually a mixture of original pixel work, and edited sprites/backgrounds from the game. The six An OverClocked Christmas albums I made covers for (which are here... http://www.obtusemusic.net/OCR_Christmas/index.htm ) are done like that, as are some of the other covers I've done over the years (one of which was for an album that isn't out yet).
