My arrangement for People of the North is an orchestral arrangement, so I don't think I will get the opportunity to get it performed . However, I have heard many synthesized orchestrations there...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hm...personally, I think the bar for orchestral arrangements is even higher than the one for piano. Not only does the arrangement have to be good, they're also very picky about production (sample quality, panning, mastering, etc.)

I see. That is quite a lot of factors. I only hope that I meet those requirements. I will find out soon enough .

I enjoy the occasional visit to this site to check out the remixes from classic games, mostly snes era games such as FFVI & Chrono Trigger. That said, the remixes seem to have only about a 50% chance of being "really good" in my mind, I see the remixes mostly as a way to to see how other prople imagined the songs, what changes they might have visualized, etc. The recent "Chrono Symphonic" CT album takes the idea of the remixes to the next level by creating an entire album... for an ost that never had a symphonic album, this is a very cool thing indeed.

The only thing I don't like about ocremix is the way they spell the word remix... there's no need to capitalize the M... just bugs me for some reason.

The word "ReMix" was chosen but is not necessarily appropriate, as the tracks here are more arrangements than remixes (think of this as the difference between a "remix" and a "ReMix," mmmkay?).
That's where the funky capitalization comes from.

Liontamer, I was a bit out of the loop when this all happened, but I heard that something went down between the staff and Protricity. Some people say he left, others say he got banned. Would you mind elaborating on the situation?

This question is also open to anyone with information as well. Thanks.

The some who say he left are the some who don't know what happened. He and djpretzel didn't get along and they soured on each other very quickly in the span of a few months in 2004. The short and sweet of it was that he got fired from staff when djp finally got fed up with him, then he got banned from the site a few months later when he refused to stop spreading misinformation about vulnerabilities (in that case, claiming a lackthereof) in the forum system after it was hacked. And there you have it.

All that, and I've never actually seen this website. I should REALLY stop by there.

I see. I don't mean to delve but, what was it that made them both hate each other? So djp fired him from the staff just because he didn't like him or did Prot do something to permit a firing?

Prot did a LOT of things that should've gotten him fired, but djp didn't act on it until he pushed him over the edge in on IRC.

I figured as much. A lot of people said he was very arrogant. Mind being a little more specific on the offenses?

Hmm let's see... I think you could try some of my favorite remixed tracks:
-Smooth Alexander (FFVI, Quinn Fox)
-Through the Dark (Chrono Trigger, DarkeSword)
-Lavos vs Jenova (FFVII, abg)
-Endless Ocean (FFX, Besaid Island Remix by String Theory)

Maybe these I could recommend for now.

OCRemix has maybe become what could be considered snobby in what they do and don't accept. Remixes that don't get accepted there (or remixes with a less formal tone or that are just plain silly) end up at OLRemix.

My current favourite is this one. I love this remix <3

I didn't really enjoy Chrono Symphonic at all, imo. But I did like Kong in Concert.

I actually don't know that much myself. You can try IMing or PMing a judge though (such as Liontamer ).

You might try ReMixes by GrayLightning. His music tends to have more exotic instruments and percussion. Predetermination by Unknown also sounds like it might be up your alley.

Actually, it's just remixes that are plain silly. There's nothing even moderately good at OLRemix. Case in point.

Besides, VGMix is for the stuff that isn't accepted at OCR :biggrin:

Jesus, that song blows. Who made that garbage?

Although I suppose the only thing worse that making it onto OLR is being thrice rejected.

If you want to get a good sampling of OCR without having to commit major bandwidth or HDD space (or for those who can't choose what to listen to, then this site provides a great streaming radio version of OCR.
It helped me dicover great OCR songs I'd never have come across with my normal listening habits.

go to http://vgmix.com for some protricity love.

i used to like oc remix a lot more than i do now... they're ok, but i just don't bother to visit the forums as much as i used to.

also, when submitting songs, it sucks to have the auto-rejection email, even if your song is clearly better than songs that were judged (with NOs, but whatever). if you have a recognizable name but a shitty song there, it has more of a chance.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
