The People's Remix Competition 84
PRCv4-6

Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! (www.doulifee.com/prc/PrcSong/PRCcommercial.wmv) PRC83 had a festive song being provided for us to see, in the form of some wintry Sonic coverage. And coming out from beneath the ashes... um... snow rather, Hetcenus came through with a piano rhapsody that managed to take the win.

For PRC84, we're still with the same series apparently. Whether it would be a good or bad thing is your judgment, not mine. :P Either way, here's your source.

http://bev.wooff.googlepages.com/prc84.gif

Fact 1: Only three PRC sources were from Sonic games:
PRC46(2-20): Aquatic Ruin (Sonic 2 - Genesis)
PRC66(3-14): Special Stage 2 (Sonic Chaos - Game Gear)
PRC83(4-05): Ice Paradise Act 1 (Sonic Advance 2 - GBA)
which makes it less than one Sonic PRC/year!!!

Fact 2: I don't care if there are two Sonic PRCs in a row.

Fact 3: I don't give a damn if I choose a source that I like playing and would like to remix myself.

Fact 4: All previous Sonic sources were from different games.

Conclusion: My source is...

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System) - Scrambled Egg Zone
MIDI (http://bev.wooff.googlepages.com/prc84.mid) | MP3 (http://bev.wooff.googlepages.com/prc84.mp3) | VGZ (http://bev.wooff.googlepages.com/prc84.vgz)

Man, a Master System would have been so cool to actually own. The closest I ever came was fiddling around with one owned by one of my elder cousins for half an hour, on The Lucky Dime Caper (some Donald Duck game). I did own a Game Gear but that's a different story. Enough mental flashbacks for now...

GOOD LUCK!

Lots of sonic love. Particularly opportune given the fact that I have been reliving old memories by playing sonic 1 and 2 on my ps2(yay for emus)

[Nineko]

Argh. I love this track. I don't know if I'll be able to fulfill my "I won't join another PRC" thing. And it's just one week :lol:

No, seriously, I won't.

But even more seriously, awesome choice.

[Chavous]

Man, a Master System would have been so cool to actually own.

Haha...I actually have one. My dad managed to save it from when he got it. I would invite you over to play it, but you're a little far away. :lol:

Aaanyway...again, I love Sonic and all...but this source isn't something I can get into...

Yup, sorry again.

avaris - Bombay Sapphire (http://swallace21.googlepages.com/avaris-BombaySapphire.mp3)

OK so i just got Reason and I've really been wanting to try it out bc it's pretty cool program. So this mix is my first attempt eva to do anything with Reason. Uh yeah anyways BUMPAGE and i'm off to write a reasearch paper *&$%Q@(#%$)&^Q()$%)Q*#$...

[Alex Smith]

My entry has gone from a chilled out, ambient piece to some sort of avant-garde progressive piece. Hmm. I claim last place. 8)

[Manic Cinq]

I claim last place. 8)Is that a challenge? Well this is. I plan to come back to PRC this week. Watch out! http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/images/avatars/gallery/games/doom_caco.gif

I tought this PRC was going to be slow because of christmas, but there are 2 songs already in heh.

Anyways, hope you all enjoy my fast-paced goa interpretation.

[Sir_NutS]

I killed PRC.

Bumpy.

[GSlicer]

Bonaparte's Balls (http://members.iinet.net.au/~dwulff/audio/Bonaparte%27s%20Balls.mp3).

[Rexy]

General Slicer just killed PRC. :lol:
Anyway, posts were slow since it was Christmas time, but we still got a steady number of entries coming in. You have 23 hours remaining to get any renditions through, so if you're still working on your remix, get on it!

[Manic Cinq]

There's no way I'm getting this done tonight.
I would just like to say that I think the midi sounds really good when the bpm is cut in half (77.5 bpm).

I could have done this if I made the time, but I've been finding it hard to be really excited about these lately. I think I'll stay out of PRC for a little while and focus on just making a mix sound good without worrying about the time. I need to learn percussion anyway.

Threw something together at the last minute:

Rexy, I'm so sorry. I got confused with the new times. My mix has been ready for a couple of days and I logged on now to post it, only to find that the voting stage has started. :(

I spent a long time on it, but if there's no way of adding my mix to the competition I'll just submit it as a bonus mix.

Even if this doesn't make it into the competition, I'd still appreciate feedback from everyone. :)

It's the longest and probably best overall remix I've ever done so I'll be kicking myself if it's definately too late to enter.

Anyway, here's the link to the entry - either official or bonus:

Actually, we haven't got any votes yet. Consider yourself lucky Xela.
I know that the times may be a bit of a change as of now, but this is what happens when a girl's gotta sleep. And you saw from me in the past few PRCs - I never got up as early as 5 in the morning. X_x

Let me get the mix added in, and we'll see what happens.

Which means we have 5 official entries in 14 posts, it's 1 song / 2.8 posts. I will vote my top 5 as soon as I have listened to the songs.
EDIT: Voted

BTW1: The voting rules: http://doulifee.com/prc/PrcSong/prcrules.php?prcid=
needs to be updated, Rexy is running the PRC for a while now, and the voting is different now.

BTW2: A happy new year, with hopefully a lot of PRC songs and some good winners.

Gee, thanks for mentioning it now, when it hasn't been updated since Kamoh was in charge. And that was before he did his ridiculous fractional voting system at the start of the third season. :lol: If I see Douli, I'll bring it up with him.

[Rexy]

Okay, I need to bump this back up. Because of the vBulletin move, I will expand the voting deadline by 36 hours. I know that that would have some people getting confused in general, that's for sure.

[avaris]

We got some bitchin entries this week, despite the holidays. Voting wasn't easy.

[Rexy]

How did this get down to page 2?

Let me bump this up for its last 12 hours of voting. And then, we will gather the results all together. ;)

[avaris]

oh snap it's results time!

[Rexy]

You're damn right. And man, I didn't see much of a high vote turnout; I'd possibly blame vBulletin's arrival (which was actually good) if you ask me, but you never know.

Total number of mixes - 5
Total number of votes - 7 (ouch)
Highest possible score - 35

avaris takes the last place wooden spoon with 15 points.

aluminum and xela are tied for third place 18 points.

GSlicer was scraped to second place with 27 points.

And the winner of PRC84 is Sir Nuts with 28 points!

Another pick for Mr Molina, who once again takes the gold with his trademark trance. Nuts, you have until Friday noon EST to send your next source over. I'm all ears.

I hope to catch you all again for PRC85, providing more things relating to the site's framework don't take place. I'll see you there, same OCR time, same OCR channel.

[Sir_NutS]

Close call there. But I'm glad I won, I'll be bringing a song that I love for the next week. Weak voting this week could be because of the holidays AND the forum change.(Which btw, I hate.)

Hope to see you all around next time.

[avaris]

Good entries all around, I had a pretty hard time voting.

[Alex Smith]

I forgot to vote, but congrats Sir nuts and eveyone else. It was a good round, despite the few entrants.

[Bundeslang]

Hopefully it's possible to change topic titles soon, it's very irritating to see 'vote' when the results are up already.
It was a good round, it was a hard voting, especially between S|r Nuts en General Slicer. I voted S|r Nuts first and...he is the winner.

I know. But it turns out that only mods can edit thread titles here these days. Doesn't do much good on us competition runners :(

I give Bahamut sexual favors for mod-edits.
