25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

Group that makes cool remixes purely because they love creation and the game music that inspired them says AI is antithetical to their core values because of course it is.
The problem is people who want to pretend to be artists and get the credit without actually doing the work to learn the skills.

We don’t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesn’t sound good.
It’s antithetical to our core values.
You didn’t even make it.
Knock it off.

We’re unlicensed fan works, same as someone dressing in cosplay, drawing a comic book or movie character, or performing at a party. We have metadata on the site and files to be an educational resource on the original games, game composers, and song titles to be non-infringing fair use.

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

I want to arrange some music for my video game music trombone group called Slide Quest, but could use some inspiration. What are some well made songs from video games that could be ideal for a bunch of brass instruments?

if any of you ever want to search your wishlist on Steam for games with demos available btw this website has been really useful for me. a lot of them straight up just won't show up for Next Fest for various reasons so this search has been necessary for me www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/wi...

Saw a touching video of a parent seeing their child after a 16-day coma, and someone’s comment turned it around and had me laugh about how they cried because there were “onion-cutting ninjas nearby.”

Now, I just want an OC ReMix called “Onion-Cutting Ninjas”.

Should it be PaRappa??? I’m not sure!
