OC ReMix Unveils Revolutionary New 3-Value Genre Classification System!

[Ghetto Lee Lewis]

How does OCR not consider any of my remixes techno? That's all I make!!!

We have some older projects that we've debuted in the past that have gone back into development, like Remixanator and Judganator, which made heavy use of some proprietary algorithms developed by OCR New Dehli, a small coding subsidiary of OC ReMix located in India.

In order to efficiently tag and classify all of the remixes on the site, they forked and reworked the code (JavaScript and COBOL) they had written for the Algorithmic Synthesis System (used in Remixanator and later Judganator) and adapted it to an analysis tool used to determine genres.

Obviously there will be some errors, so if you see any remixes that don't necessarily fit with what came out of the ASS, let us know. We'll be setting up a community review in the next couple of days to fix issues.

Alright well that makes sense. I'll just wait patiently for you guy to work the bugs out, and I'll be sure to participate on that community review. Otherwise this is a really great new system.

I feel like this will make judging easier, knowing that I have only three genres to which I need to hold submissions as a standard. I know I've seen this in the works for a while, but I'm really glad it's finally here.

This finally solves the mystery of what genre my ReMix is. For the longest time listeners kept calling it "sadpianostep".

Is it something like this?

#include <iostream> // default
#include <string> // strings
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // genre classifications
    std::string a = "Techno";
    std::string b = "Possibly Techno";
    std::string c = "Probably Not Techno (Maybe)";

    // genre qualifications
    std::string primaryelem = "Initialize1";
    std::string secondaryelem = "Initialize2";
    int speshulcondition = 0;

    // initial state
    std::string conclusion = "No Genre Yet";
    cout << "The current genre for this mix is: " << conclusion << endl;

    // qualifications input
    cout << "Enter a primary element you have in your remix: ";
    cin >> primaryelem;
    cout << "Enter a secondary element you have in your remix: ";
    cin >> secondaryelem;
    cout << "Did you copy and paste anything? 0 for no, 1 for yes: ";
    cin >> speshulcondition;

    // genre test
    if (primaryelem == "Boom" && secondaryelem == "Tiss" && speshulcondition == 1){
        conclusion = a;
    }
    else if (primaryelem == "Boom" && secondaryelem == "Tiss" && speshulcondition == 0){
        conclusion = b;
    }
    else if ((primaryelem != "Boom" or secondaryelem != "Tiss") && (speshulcondition == 1)){
        conclusion = b;
    }
    else if ((primaryelem != "Boom" or secondaryelem != "Tiss") && (speshulcondition == 0)){
        conclusion = c;
    }

    // genre evaluation
    cout << "The current genre for this mix is: " << conclusion << endl;

}

(By the way, this code works!)

so glad you're finally doing this. perhaps this will finally put an end to the argument of whether or not the judges have a techno bias since now we'll have cold hard numbers on the quantity of techno tracks vs. possibly techno vs. possibly not techno (maybe)

[Argle]

This is bullshit. Narrowing down to 3 shitty categories that suck.

[Darangen]

If we personally feel that a song that is labeled Possibly Not Techno (Maybe) should be listed under Possibly Techno, do we blow up Larry's private message box like we do for all other problems we have with the site?

I'm sorry OcR but I can't agree with this. overClocked RemiX has just been going down the drain these last few years. I can't stand it. I feel like you guys just don't care anymore and the whole foundation OverC RMix is just crumbling. This whole 3 genre thing is just STUPIIID!!! Overcocked Redux needs to get its act together or I'm going to delete all my mixes and make my own site. And it'll be better.

Why are you typing like that? You never type like that.

No. That's clearly C or C++. Our code is a JavaScript/COBOL hybrid.

If you're bored, by the way, that code kinda works (further down below).

I think the prog rock and symphonic metal tags are broken they are empty

[Mirby]

Try looking under Probably Not Techno (Maybe) and Possibly Techno, respectively.

Because everything is horrible.

Obviously you pulled this whole thing out of the ASS.

[DarkeSword]

ASS is very important.

That's what she said.

Although this milkshake here won't bring anyone to the yard.

Oh god. May the binary lords have mercy on you all.

So... Techno. What's the deal with that?

Its a subgenre of manga music that OCR is well known for.

[Black_Doom]

Wait, why did this stuff disappear? :0 It was quite helpful.

April fool?

I really don't believe OCR would do all that work for nothing. Probably the genres are now removed because there are a couple of bugs in it.
