Brandon Strader Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 A little hesitation due to the vocal thing, however if she's really good it would be OK. I hope you don't mind if I check out some samples of her singing first? I know you're a capable remixer but I don't know who it is you are planning to collab with and it is being presented as a big part of the song. NP on being late, but check back more often! What do we have to do, put ponies on the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril the Wolf Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 No, just be easier to check from my phone Traveling is a bitch Also, I don't have a vocalist lined up. My whole thing with this is to structure it so that it can be sung by either gender or both. Probably a duet or something like that. If you require a female vocalist before I can claim it I do know a few I could call upon readily. I just have had the idea in the back of my head. I do understand your hesitation, wish I could meet you halfway but I don't want to put words in any of my friends mouths about agreeing to sing for me (even though I'm 95% certain they'd be down for it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you sing like a sphincter.. OK you lose your claim too!! >:( I kid, actually I should have just accepted Cyril's claim, even if he sings himself, haha. Bit of a turd move. I'm sure he wasn't gonna recruit someone who sings like a pony or something like that. All high pitched and cartoony voiced.. If you want the claim of "Where I Belong" you can have it Cyril let me know. But if you turn it into an Aladdin "I can show you the world" featuring Ponies figuring out where they belong then I dunno man........ I just don't know........ zykO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manji Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I would very much like to get involved in this (I have my eye on the song "SeeD" which nobody appears to have claimed yet) but I don't have any posted mixes on OCR - I've got a resubmission in the Judges' Queue at the moment but it's been there for the better part of a year. How would I go about submitting an audition and what should it contain? Apologies if this should be common knowledge, I've not gotten involved in any projects before! Thanks for your patience Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your patience You could send me a clip of your very best work in a private message, an mp3 would be fine. I'd avoid WIPs, when you send in auditions (now and in the future) your goal is to show the director what you are capable of, and whether your work is good enough to be included among the other remixers involved in the album. So, very best work! As for your resub that has been sitting so long, you should try contacting the judges panel. There's no justification for a resub, or even a regular submission, to sit for the better part of a year. I'm not completely sure who you could even ask now and get a response though, maybe @Chimpazilla! What about you @zykO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 @Manji That does sound like too long for a resub. Send me a PM with the relevant information so I can look into that. Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drop you a PM when I get back from the office- will probably include one of the songs I recorded with my band which isn't a videogame remix but shows what I can do re: writing and playing parts. I'm more than happy to just provide an arrangement and stems and let somebody else take care of the mixing/mastering since I'm much more confident in my writing skills than my overall mixing/mastering prowess! Also dropped Chimpazilla a PM, cheers Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Yeah, mixing and mastering your song would be no problem if that's what you want. My only thought from what you said, is if you're sending a sample that includes parts you don't have access to (such as other band members playing live drums or something) it might be better to only include instruments / sounds you have access to as it would best represent what you are capable of making. Unless you think you could work with your band to make the remix, then that'd be cool. Good luck with your resub too! Manji 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hiya everyone!!! If anyone wants acoustic violin, I can offer that. Would love to play on your track. And if you want electric violin too: it sounds like a zany cross between lead synth and lead guitar. Cheers!

Brandon Strader Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 I hope we get some cool WIPs for April 15th The roster is SO BIG, and it's so many people to keep track of, I simply hope we get a lot, though I know not to expect even 1/4 of the remixers to turn in a WIP. Please ReMix responsibly! Trev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks everyone who posted a WIP on the private subforum! Please share feedback on the WIPs, guys, don't just leave it up to me! Let's make a nice little community effort out of it. I'm thinking the next good WIP date may be June 20th, unless anyone has objections. That's a little over 2 months worth of time to put into a nice WIP or even a finished mix. If anyone specifically asked me for feedback, please hold on until I do so, life is pretty busy sometimes Trev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnWake Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'll do my best to reach that WIP date. Just need to get some good inspiration... Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipnotyk Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 @Brandon Strader, I need to lighten my workload a little bit. Between moving this summer and a pregnant wife, I'm likely not going to have the time I want for everything on my plate at the moment. I am making some progress on Lunatic Pandora and I am 100% sure I'll be able to provide a completed version of that, however I would like to withdraw from The Salt Flats and allow it to be claimed by anyone else who may be interested. If I end up with more time than I expect to have and it's still free, I'll tackle it (or possibly another track that isn't claimed because I friggin' love FF8). In the meantime, I'd like to focus squarely on L.P. and hit that one out of the park. Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Alright, that's cool! And pretty responsible.. if someone wants it they could grab it, but I just took it off the list. Haven't heard a lot about WIPs, might have to send out one of those fancy mass messages people are doing for projects. Not something I'm a huge fan of, but if it works, it works.
