djpretzel Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 I'd like to submit an arrangement to OCRemix. I've posted the arrangement at It's an arrangement of a song from "Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake" for the MSX. My forum name (which, I guess would be my remixer name in this situation) is "brownjava". My website is "http://www.brownjava.org". Thanks, Jeremy
Liontamer Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Half-decent spareness to the sounds, but there's jack shit to this. Goes to 1:26. Repeats verbatim to 2:52. Fade out. The submission name is the exact same as the the source tune name; another strike. So I said to myself, "Let's go get the original." ... Nice rip. The original's better. Thank you for providing us with this inferior rip. We don't accept these. Since you don't seem to understand our submissions guidelines, feel free to read them sometime. (And yes, for you intrepid regular readers, I AM just copying & pasting my now stock NO Override vote.) Submission Instructions & Standards]In terms of arrangement - how close or distant ReMixes should be to the original - the general rule is that the ReMix should be YOURS. We don't just mean that you were involved in its creation, but that it is different enough from the original so as to readily illustrate the contributions, modifications, and enhancements you have made. In other words, don't just take the original and drop a few drum loops on top. Also, don't simply take a MIDI file and assign new instruments to the parts, or add reverb, and expect that to pass as 'yours'. When we say 'ReMix', we actually mean something closer to 're-arrangement', if that helps clarify. If you listen to most of the pieces on the site and compare them to the originals, you should get an idea of what a ReMix is. NO OVERRIDE
