WillRock Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 So I'm sure many of us were into VGM Remixes before we found OCR - and then when we found it, heard that one track that made you go "hey I know this one! This is OCR? I thought it was legit/SOAD/whatever" So i'll start! http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00986 - Rayzas Green Hill Zone Remix. This one was uploaded in quite a few youtube videos back in the day, and I thought it was a offical released remix by the original composers or something. McVaffes IceCapped was another one I was aware of before OCR for the same reasons. So, which tracks from OCR did you know before you knew about OCR itself?

Melbu Frahma Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 , from VotL, actually led me to OCR. At first, though, I just thought it was a really awesome background piece taken from Advent Children , which I must've watched fifty times over a three month span. About five months after I found that video, though, I got ahold of a copy of Advent Children for the first time and watched it, and realized that the music was nowhere in it. So I went back and found the video, read the description (for the first time) and realized it was for some project I'd never heard of. Went and found VotL, and that led me ~3 months later to OCR.I guess it's not a perfect example, but for about half a year I really thought it must've been either from Advent Children since I hadn't seen it yet, or made specifically for the video. Boy, am I glad I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The first I heard were DJP's remxies, but that was directly from the site. I've been here since day one after following the comic. I feel old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Williamson Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 First mixes I heard were Project Chaos through SOAH City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrothaDom Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I heard the Oil Ocean WT-40 Remix and years later realized it was from here. Pretty cool realizing that actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiesty Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) A Magus' theme techno mix by Daknit, Bard of Tarot. Don't think it was an official OCR release, but it had OCRemix in the metadeta. Found it on Kazaa I think? oh man p2p...I almost forgot.

Black_Doom Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 At first I found Ben Briggs' 'Red Sphere, Blue Sphere', then I discovered the whole Project Chaos and after that I discovered Overclocked ReMix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I don't honestly remember, I do remember being on OCR as early as 2001 and one of my earliest memories is enjoying http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00690 and seeing what else the site had to offer purely based on that track. That song was the point where I realized remixes were "something more". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The first remix I heard of from OCR was on OCR, so I didn't really hear any without realizing it was distributed by OCR. My first was http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binjovi Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I feel old. While I didn't actually know about the comic beforehand, I started checking out remixes on the site somewhere around 1999 or 2000. I used to check out midis on VGMusic, then decided to look up remixes and ended up finding OCR almost straightaway. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

Eino Keskitalo Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I heard A Rose for Zelda on VGMix before, which was a slightly different version. I'm not 100% sure what exactly brought me to OCR. I was actively seeking video game arrangements thanks to being a fan of Axes Denied. I ended up reading somewhere how OCR is just a bunch of elitist snobs and thought well, I'm not going there. Then I heard Halls of Abandonment - from the site or somewhere else, I can't remember - and couldn't ignore the site. Turns out I'm an elitist snob myself!

Ivan Hakštok Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Norg's amazing "Harden The Duck Up": Scott Peeples' "Another Inspiration": brentalfloss' "2-2 Blues": I'm pretty sure there were more but those were the only ones I could remember.

Rozovian Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I was just grabbing Metroid remixes from wherever I could find, didn't actually notice ocr was a thing until I decided to make one of my own (for those wondering, it would have been an older, crappier version of Dragonfood). I wanted to submit it, and vgmix went down just then, so after I got tired of hoping it'd come back up, I came here instead, and didn't submit my crappy track. So any Metroid track that was on both ocr and vgmix is my answer. Possibly some Zelda tracks as well. not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esperado Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 "Its my turn to Dream" by Cthonic was the first one that really got me into game remixes in general, but it wasnt until i heard "Snowfall on Forbidden Lands" that I found OCR. I didnt realize Ben Briggs was part of OCR until a good bit later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 My first exposure to OCReMix was 'Dirty Mix' in this silly flash animation that was on Newgrounds. (I'm posting the albinoblacksheep one since it loads better on my computer and maybe it'll do the same for you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Splint Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Got ahold of several of Protricity's Donkey Kong Country 2 remixes through P2P program called WinMX. Some of them had "Overclocked ReMix" in the tag, so after a quick Google search I found one of my most favorite sites ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yami Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 yeah the zelda tune mislabeled SOAD. Yeah, that was my first one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamer Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 At first I found Ben Briggs' 'Red Sphere, Blue Sphere', then I discovered the whole Project Chaos and after that I discovered Overclocked ReMix. Same thing with me. I heard this song pop up on the "video games" station on Last.fm, and discovered everything else through that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypnotikid Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) I remember a track about mega man with a track titled "my groin" or something like on back on vgmix /ocremix radio back in the early 2000s. I also remember "2-2 blues", "dirtymix", "2001 elasticnewyear" (or something like that), and "hyrule angel" since then I been hooked on ocremix.

DCT Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I think I had found Jivemaster's "Chemical Juice" and Ailsean's "Metaltroid" on one of those file-sharing programs a month or two before actually finding the site. I've been here a looong time. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansdown Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Monstrous Turtles :3 http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01558 My sister linked me to a video that was using it. I kept going back to listen until one day when I finally read the description about ocr and came here. c: I guess what I'm trying to say is... she is to blame! (But if she ever reads this, I apologise because I fear thy hammerspace! ') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
