[Bundeslang]

The People's Remix Competition 182
PRCv7-26

Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! (http://www.doulifee.com/prc/PrcSong/PRCcommercial.wmv)


PRC181 is done: Congratulations Ichitootah (http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC181).
It's time for PRC182, an anniversary edition. It's a special edition again. Ichitootah may choose the source for PRC183. After a year, time for some statistics again.

- This season, PRC has 19 different winners (one more as last year), out of 25 rounds (some with double winner).
- Again, OneUp was the winner most times, 5 times in total (last year 3).
- 29 Different remixers entered (5 less as last year).
- OneUp entered most times, 9 if I'm correct, including Bonus mixes (last year Just64helpin was most time participants with 10 Mixes).
- In PRC164, four remixers entered who only entered that round this year.
- Showroom Dummy was the only one who entered more rounds as one and won all the rounds he participated (excluding Bonus Mixes).
- OneUp (5), Showroom Dummy (3) and JerryTerry and Bundeslang (2) are the only remixers who won more rounds as one.
- Of course, Bundeslang only won rounds where he was the only participant (excluding Bonus Mixes).
- This year, 55 songs appeared (last year 94 excluding PRC156!!), 8 of them where Bonus Mixes (also 8 last year).
- 11 PRCs where decided without voting stage, in 3 of them, one Bonus Mix was submitted.

These details are from PRC157 - PRC181.

The ThaSauce Thread for PRC182 is now open. If you have problems with ThaSauce, you can also post the song in this thread.


It's the anniversary edition. Like last year, it's a free round. Zelda, Mario, Megaman, Final Fantasy, Monopoly, Duck Tales, Godzilla; everything is allowed. Non OCR songs are encouraged, but you don't get bonus points if you pick a source which has been remixed before at Ocremix (or PRC). There's only one restriction: the song you pick has to be a VG tune and it's obligated to tell which source you used (game - theme - console).

There's one way to get 3 bonus points:

Remix a song in the Remix Requests Thread. (http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC181)
To make sure nobody is going to cheat (by posting requests), you can only pick a request which has been posted before october 31st. It doesn't matter if the song's in a different style or if you did the request by yourself. You must post a link to the thread with the song.

I'm not very strict in this, so it someone requests a game, any song of that game is fine (but post a link to the thread!!). If you're not sure, but want to remix a request, pick one of the above or post it in this thread so I can take a look at it.

For midi's, go to http://www.vgmusic.com/

A hint for searching requests: sort them by thread.

Of course, you may remix another song, but you don't get the bonus points.

Free Round - Free Theme


ThaSauce link (http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC182)

It's the second time PRC has a free source selection for everyone (last year as well). This means you can do anything you want, but it has to be a VG-tune. Song picks don't make restrictions for following PRCs, all sources which are used in this round are selectable for next PRCs except tunes with an Ocremix.

Make sure you read the rules carefully
The winner may select a source which will be used in PRC184, that round will have two sources.

GOOD LUCK!

The ThaSauce thread is now open.

Yay, the anniversary round! I'll have to try to participate.. I don't have internet at home at the moment though, so hopefully I remember and can get online on time. On the other hand, less distractions. =)

Good idea/theme for the round, the requests! I think I'll try to do Traffic Department 2192.. lot of transcribing to do!

Thanks for organizing again this year, Bundeslang. Those were some cool statistics, too!

Checked back in time for the anniversary, nice :D
I'm trying to get something done, though my quality headphones are broken and I'm reduced to mixing with iPod earbuds like the old days, lol

[JerryTerry]

Working on a track, almost finished.
It's a remix of Roquefort Ridge, from James Pond 3, as asked for in this request: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=31664

Edit: Uploaded my remix.

[Bundeslang]

There's a 3 days extention. The new deadline is Thursday November 18th, 10:59 AM ThaSauce time.

[Hardbeat Acolyte]

Thanks a lot Bundeslang, I totally forgot all about the deadline, now I should be able to get my track done

[JH Sounds]

I was actually worried that I'd miss the deadline, but it appears to be extended. I got dis. 8-)

[Hardbeat Acolyte]

Have been busier than I expected, and won't have my remix done in time :(
Looking forward to hearing those of everyone else though :)

[JH Sounds]

Apparently the ability to upload entries on compo:thasauce is broken and won't be fixed for a while, so here's my entry:

"Short Fuse" (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11221630/JH%20Sounds%20-%20Short%20Fuse%20feat%20B-Type.mp3)

Description: What if Bomberman reggaeton... had lyrics? Thanks to B-Type for the raps.

That link doesn't work as well. Try to upload somewhere else.
The song is in, voting won't start before I have this song (if that doesn't take years:mrgreen:).

I extended the deadline again, with one day.

[Sir_NutS]

I was remixing something for this compo, and FL crashed on me, losing most of my work because I forgot to save often (been a while since I mixed anything)

I will try to get to it again before the deadline, if I'm still inspired.

[Bundeslang]

JerryTerry claims 8 points and gets the last place wooden spoon

Showroom Dummy was close, but 11 points is only one point away from the victory.


And JH Sounds wins with 12 points!

Congratulations JH Sounds. You won and may select the source for PRC184. Send your source to me (with a MID/MP3 file if you can) by PM (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=8264), other options are PM me @ ThaSauce (http://thasauce.net/modules.php?name=Private_Messages&mode=post&u=78) or by e-mailing to bambombim@gmail.com (I prefer PM @Ocremix) before Friday, November 26th at 11:59 am Eastern US Time.

You may select any source from any game, as long as it doesn't have an Overclocked Remix and it hasn't been on PRC before (it doesn't matter if the source has been remixed on PRC156 or PRC182). Check it at the list:

Gah, forgot to vote. I hadn't realised the voting stage had even started (I forget that the deadlines are way shorter than the ORC).

Oh well, glad to have another last place spoon for my collection.
