Nick Hyral Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 OMG, I just woke up to find that I'm at #2?! Unbelievable... thank you, guys. Seriously. Ack, really?! I feel awful. I actually deleted my first Facebook post about the contest entirely because I realized I hadn't written the correct information on how to vote. Your comment(s) must have been on that... Swear to God, I didn't even see that you wanted to enter! You still should, though. I do completely understand the point of view of those who believe I shouldn't have entered the contest. I have been involved in video game soundtracks already, yes... And it does always seem unfair the way these popular voting systems work. However, public votes can only get me into the top 20 - then it's for Hans Zimmer and the judges to decide. There are a lot of amazing entries up there, and I actually joined the comp quite late (it's been open for a while), so I do think that those others have as good a shot as anyone. I'm also trying to make a living off music, and believe me, I make no where close to a full time salary at this point even though it's the only job I have. ^_~ So yeah... I stand by my entry, but wish everyone the best of luck! If there are other OCR artists in there, by all means, vote for them too!!! I agree, when it comes to music.. yes you've been in the industry with some game music.. But.. making a living off of it is a dog eat dog world. I voted, and let my friends know. Checking the other entries out in the top five, I'm not very impressed. They have some nice voices.. but they lack a presence and "body" so to speak. Definitely supporting you. And if nothing else.. I may not get this game.. but I want this song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 You know what? This is just my personal opinion but I feel like you've got enough posts on these forums already, Ferret, so no offense but sit this thread out. I might be wrong, but you don't have to get involved with every thread that comes your way. That's the quickest road to making yourself look like an ass. lCE BURN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 There were a lot of people who really didn't follow the piano melody at all like Jill did, makes me wonder if they'll lose points for that or if it even matters. I'll try to get one up tomorrow night notthatitwouldreallygetanywherebutthatsok Hey, if you're in the top twenty you make it on. I see no reason for the OCR community NOT to support you - having not one but TWO remixers on the bill would be pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew you didn't do it on purpose, I JUST KNEW IT I don't think you should not do something just because you've been lucky enough to be involved... If anything you should do as much as you can and get yourself out there, and other people can do that too... no need to step aside for someone else... but Gario makes a good point too, we could have 2 OCRtists in the top 20. Or, we could have 20 of them up there. "Hans Zimmer and the other judges" yep. Hans is the MAN. Creator of Spider Pig music. And just to add, I hope to make one WORTH voting for, I'll take my time on it... probably Saturday night or Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Covenant Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 there's no way I could even hope to be in the top 20. I like your voice and think you are good enough for the top 20. Submit an entry and I will vote for you. And yea, what Gario said. The more OCReMixers in the top 20, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperiorX Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I voted for Jill too! She's only a few votes shy of #1 now! and @Larry: I couldn't find any song by Kate Covington (aka katethegreat19) on there? Did you have a link for hers?

Monobrow Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 She didn't end up entering after all according to Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirby Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I don't care if you're at number one, keep those votes a-comin! I want to see the 1000 vote barrier busted!

Brandon Strader Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I heard katethegreat had actually made her own arrangement of the theme and did vocals to that, then found out she couldn't actually upload her own song.. would have been awesome to hear that. Maybe she could turn it into a remix someday. Maybe someone who is close with her could suggest such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krug Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 That's too bad, I woulda voted the shit out of it! Here's to hoping it turns up as a remix here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jillian Aversa Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeah, I bet Kate's arrangement was awesome... hope we get to hear it at some point! Also, guys: Laura "Flute Link" Intravia is currently at #3! She's not officially an OC ReMixer yet, but definitely will be in the future I'd imagine. So VOTE FOR HER, TOO!

Archangel Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'm not familiar with the Assassin's Creed franchise, but this track is really beautiful! Jillian, your voice is so incredibly pristine. It's wonderful. Also, kudos to zircon for such a simple yet incredibly enchanting arrangement (which I assume was his work?). I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiGi Valentine Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'm a big fan of Assassins Creed (the next game taking place in Istanbul so that's a massive big-up on my Turkish heritage) and further more, one of the main reasons i found out about OCR was because of a certain Lover Reef tune i heard back in the day, lol. No doubt i voted and spread the word over FaceBook and Twitter in regards to this. Wishing you all the best of luck, Pixie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chernabogue Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I didn't see it was HANS ZIMMER who composed the theme!! Holy crap, working with him may be the pinnacle of a career! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
