TMF128 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 How did you find out about this website? I actually got a friend request from them on Youtube (probably because they were advertising.) I checked out some of the remixes, and liked them a lot. I didn't join the site until about 5 months after I found out about them though.

I checked out some of the remixes, and liked them a lot. I didn't join the site until about 5 months after I found out about them though. God, I'm not even sure anymore... it's been years, although - similarly to you - I didn't join until a month and a half ago. Mmm... wait, I think it's coming back to me. I think I did a Google search for "Tifa's Theme," that took me to the VotL website, where I was mightily impressed by the music and one or two of the music videos on there. I followed the link on back to OCRemix from there, if I recall right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 some dude I knew in boy scouts eight years ago no idea how he found it though since he doesn't (and probably never did) hang around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFrost Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 For me, it was tracking down where a Disco Dan track came from (I think it was "Magnet Man goes West"). It was originally untagged, but by searching for the title, I found my way here back in 2004-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Well, in my never-ending quest for free video game soundtracks, I ended up here a few times... didn't like it then. But then I got into the Black Mages. Rockin' remixes of FF tracks, it was awesome. I found my way back here in late 2007... right around the time VotL came out, actually. I had just gotten my computer and downloaded that right away. A little later, I joined the forums. And I've been loving it here ever since! That, and it's good for my career.

Lemonectric Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I'm trying to remember coming here, but I'm not sure my conscious brain had fully developed yet. I was, what, 12? My earliest memory of a video game remix is Dr. Fruitcake's Wicked Windmill. I'm pretty sure I found stuff on my own, googling for video game music remixes or something.

SoulinEther Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 searching for bloody tears with google 4 years ago took me to ap's Bloody Tears Inspired remix - it might have been one of the first results too. I was trying to figure out how to play it on piano and I hadn't heard it in a while, and I was looking for a cover. Found out the remix wasn't a cover and went back to the google results to get what i was looking for... but a few days later I decided I liked the remix and looked for it again - and I haven't left since.

Adun The Untouchable Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I was searching for Sonic music on Napster back when it was new. Feels like forever ago... back when cd burners were like 8x and 56k internet/modems were still big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 DJP FOUNDED THIS PLACE! See what I did there? He found it by founding it. Bad joke, I know, but I couldn't resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 My friend told me about it and told me I should show my music here, so I did. Oddly he's not interested in the site at all these days, I'm the one forcing him to get stuff now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd Cabbage Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I dunno. I think I heard about it on the shizz like five years back. I hated it and thought all the songs I heard were trash and left. lewl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I read about it in a magazine (Gameinformers, I think) and thought "this place sounds cool. Game remixes? Awesome, let's see what this DJP bloke has to offer" and I looked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaFone Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I first found this place looking for video game music downloads in the second half of 2001. I didn't know it, but this place was just getting off the ground at that time. I live and breathe music (since it's all I ever do, listen to music) so I stuck around the place and watched all the awesome music come into being. I was there when McVaffe threw in his music under three (was it three?) different guises, and I too was floored when he revealed all three were him. Still, I didn't join the forums until about three years ago, back in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd Cabbage Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I breathe music, too, since it's in the air. You can't even see it. It's a Miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutSpoken Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I vaguely recall doing a Google search for Super Metroid music in early 2006 and I ran into this. I was hooked pretty quickly, but I stayed within the range of video games I knew personally. I started blogging about OCR in mid 2006, but I never really opened my eyes to the entire community along with all the music until around the time I got a forum profile in fall of 2007.

XiaoXiaoNeo Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I was searching for Sega Genesis music, specifically Sonic, and I found DjP's "Love Hurts". I LOVED it (still do), and began exploring other remixes/remixers. That was quite a few years ago... maybe 2003 or 2004? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I discovered OCR years back when I was searching for remixes of the Diamond Dust Zone theme from Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis). Funnily enough, I ended up choosing this as the source tune for one of the PRC rounds, since no remixes of the tune were posted on OCR at the time.

Bahamut Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I found OCR back in 2001 or 2002, I forget exactly although I want to say 2001 around August/September, when searching Audiogalaxy for vgm, and found some stuff that all had OCReMix in its filename. Interestingly, I wasn't all that impressed with many of the songs I found back then through incidental search results, even Terra in Black, but it came up often enough for me to check the URL that was in the ID3v1/2 tags and I found some songs that I did like, although it was more hit or miss then than now. The site hosted free music, it's hard to hate on a website doing that, especially when bandwidth was much more of a premium back then! I breathe music, too, since it's in the air. You can't even see it. It's a Miracle. I see what you did there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjjD Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I think the first time I was on OCRemix was when I heard about it in 2001. I was constantly looking for video game music, just because it was a fun thing to do. I heard a few songs but even with that, I didn't join until a year ago just because I felt I couldn't contribute anything. I still have always appreciated this site...and free music, it speaks for itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binjovi Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 It was early 2000. I had been hooked on video game midis for a while. Somehow, I stumbled upon a dance mix of the Mario theme, which, come to think of it, was probably my first mp3. I was totally digging the idea of creating a new song out of an old song, and the quality of it as well. After searching around, I stumbled upon a little, orange website called OverClocked ReMix. Needless to say, I liked what I heard, and I've been hangin' around ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Came across the website in very early 2002, not long after I found VGMix. Popped in and out for a few months before I decided to join in May of that year. Been here ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 It was in highschool, probably 2005. I actually saw someone mention it in the pulse section in Nintendo Power. I had been looking for videogame music, so i checked this site out and instantly fell in love with some of the remixes. Wintermute - Lullaby Proximitus was the first mix I listened too... still love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I found K. Praslowicz's Shadow remix on Napster back in 2001, and followed the link in the ID3 tags. Been stuck here ever since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
