Ever Heard of OC Remix?



            An indeterminate amount of time ago (either a year or almost a year) I wrote something on music in games. I’ve always wanted to try and make music, but I didn’t own any instruments or tools. I have a free version of FL Studio 12, but I don’t quite have a grasp on the program. I’m not exactly a music expert, but I can at least show you a site I found that has several artists making their own songs.
            OCRemix. It’s a website that hosts free remixes of popular video game soundtracks. I’ll just quote them right here: OverClocked ReMix is an organization dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of video game music as an art form. Its primary focus is ocremix.org, a website featuring thousands of free fan arrangements, information on game music and composers, resources for aspiring artists, and a thriving community of video game music fans.”
            It’s quite amazing what a group of artists can do with the things they love. All of their tracks are free for personal use, but there may be some rules for using their music for commercial or for-profit purposes. They also have their own YouTube channel that hosts many of their best tracks. Even if you aren’t into video game soundtracks, please look into what these people do. I’ll just leave a link to one of my favorites from them so far.
