For the record, the album is called Temporal Duality, with Time Traveller's Delight being one of the songs. You might want to change the title.

Edit: It seems you already had the correct title in the first post, but not the title. Confusing.

Eh, it's not that bad. Metallic Madness JP is a great remix, and that Cowboy Bebop-esque You Can Do Anything is a great listen.

Someone covered Nine Inch Nails' seminal hit Closer and labeled it a US Metallic Madness 'remix' though.

OCR's done better rap/Sonic stuff. Like that one Oil Ocean remix.

Doesn't fill me with a great deal of high expectations about the rest of the upcoming SCD stuff, but we'll see. I did like the instrumental, it's just DiGi's rapping that I ain't feeling. Man.

That's because DiGi Valentine can't rap. At all.

Even though he keeps recording himself rapping.

If they catch me LOLing this statement I'm going to get in some serious trouble

I started this thread long before Temporal Duality was even out yet. Time Traveller's Delight alone was released by OCR as an early special teaser.

Oh, your Timekeeper is one of my favs. But my personal opinion coudn't stand you spamming the "go" voice sample everywhere (I liked how you played with "that's it" on the other hand). Can you give us a version without it? :P

I gotta say, after a second listen, This Is Madness! (Metallic Madness JP) is rocking my socks hard enough to liquidise my feet. Or something.

WINAMP, Y U NO REPEAT-ONE?

ha ha, I'm sure you're saying that because you're like "oh crap a ReMixer is looking at this forum, I should probably try and cover it up" but thanks anyway lol

unfortunately I don't think I could deliver a version without the "Go"s everywhere hahahaha; not everyone's gonna like them like I did

but I'm glad that you liked the other samples. at least I can know I don't suck that much

Nah, I'm not deep into the scene so don't know nor care much about Retro disliking OCR or anything. But Timekeeper is very great overall imo. Thanks a lot!

Since I'm addressing a remixer (not going to bother with the arbitrary capitalisation) here: Timekeeper's alright. I'd probably say it's one of the more recognisable-to-the-source-material offerings, probably lower-end of the best ones. "Go!" sample didn't bother me as such, though I personally wanted more lip-service to the Past mix.

I'm warming up to the Nine Inch Nails cover one, too. Not a lot one can do with ambient sounds like MM US, I guess.

It's true that a lot of bad game remixes like to throw sound effects all around. Good ones are always rare.

[Metal Man88]

Oh, so a remixer is looking at this? Good.

Because the problem is they generally don't go outside their comfort zone or listen to advice not from OCR. Ergo, all the OCR songs are just made for OCR--lots of spamming of repetitive samples, minimal arrangements, and usage of the same three cruddy Fruity Loops samples/Garageband presets/whatever everywhere.

It's what ruined remixes for me, really. It became an industry in which the only real originality was "Which sound sample from a game will I spam endlessly in THIS remix?"

[Falk]

This is a bit of a tangent but on the topic of sampling sound effects, I thought this was extremely cool

well in all truth it's not like I'm a native remixer of the site. I probably joined ocremix like 3 years ago but I didn't get active until this project, so the truth of the matter is I'm not like super in-tune as to how they all react to people outside of ocremix.

hehe am I the only one who does this? look at what everyone else is saying about the project on other sites?


I'm gonna give it to you, the vocal stuff was definitely not something I was fond of. I think a bit of it grew on me, but the Sonic Boom mix... man. I was literally critiquing it as nicely as I could, attempting to see if I could get him to fix it up more, but it just never ended up the way it should've been, and while I really don't like the actual mix, the vocals is what really brought it down.

I was also quite a bit amazed when ladywildfire's track made it on to the 10 tracks on the mix flood. I was honestly like, "that mix? of all the mixes?"

Personally, I enjoyed the amounts of house and electronic music in there, because the thing is that that's just sorta come around these past few years as a big deal and not really any of the ocremix Sonic projects before it had any of that. Sure, it's getting old, but I sorta liked hearing that from ocremix. In all honestly, I think a lot of this record is the first time anything has sounded really professional from ocremix. That's not saying I absolutely hate all their other stuff because it sounds less professional; I'm just saying lots of this album actually sounds like it would make sense on the radio. And most of those songs are actually from people like me who popped out of no where and were like "hey look ocremix is doing a Sonic CD remix album... why not, I'll just go ahead and jump in on this". People like Portaneux or however you say his name and the guy with the other really odd remixer name that did the glitch hop/dubstep remix a couple of tracks before me.

So am I the only one on Sonic Retro that likes Project Chaos? Sonic Retro seems to be a hatefest for ocremix. I loved Project Chaos, honestly.

So does Sonic Stadium and Sonic Retro have a disagreement here? Sonic Stadium seems to love this stuff.

I am praying to God that no one from ocremix finds me on this forum.
