FastnBulbous Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hi all, I'm very new to the world of game remixes and was wondering if anyone can advise on the best way to get started here. I've got the gear and the skills but time is fairly limited so I want to try and make best use of it.OCR intrigues me a lot and I hope to be able to contribute in various ways, just not sure of the best way to make a start. I had a look at one or two competitions but deadlines seemed pretty tight. Are there any competitions going that give a generous deadline so I don't exhaust myself with trying to balance the real work with my day job? Anyways, loving what I've seen so far. It's good to see the high level of appreciation going on for game music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 If you're new to remixing in general, I'd suggest the Meat and Potatoes compo(MnP). It's usually got a couple weeks on the deadline and is all about conservative mixing. Speaking from personal experience, it's a great place to start if you don't have a ton of time but still want to improve and get involved.

MindWanderer Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah, M 'n' P's 2 week remixing time is pretty generous considering the amount of work it requires. Otherwise, there isn't really anything that offers more than 2 weeks. Tournaments usually give just one week. Then there's always the One-Hour Compo.

FastnBulbous Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks a lot! I'll keep an eye open for the next MnP. Yeah 2 weeks seems fine. Maybe once I get into the swing of it the more advanced comps will be more doable. I'm a relatively experienced producer, just haven't been active for a while and I'm getting the hang of new software and hardware at the same time. I noticed the calender doesn't seem to have anything going at the moment. Is there a break for summer or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastnBulbous Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 RWS is on a short hiatus, but MnP's and PRC's absences from the calendar appear to be oversights. Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I might have a go at the PRC comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastnBulbous Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Pulled a sickie from work yesterday so ended up doing my first OCR compo entry, for PRC. Thanks a lot for the help with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
