The mixing stage is over. Now it's time to get onto the voting stage. to do so, you send me a PM and in that PM you need to place all four mixes from first to fourth. Contestants don't need to place their own songs as they will automatically get a first place vote. The vote of the winner of PRC86 (myself) counts twice. You have until Wednesday, February 14th at 4:59AM EST to cast your vote. The winner will get to choose the source material for PRC87!

The People's Remix Competition 87
PRCv4-9

Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! (www.doulifee.com/prc/PrcSong/PRCcommercial.wmv) PRC86's Secret of Mana related compo received quite the mixed reaction, but regardless, the end result was that there was a healthy amount of coverage with six songs unleashed as a result. Somehow I'm seeing the Mana series to be a good omen for me, as I took the win with some orchestral... new age... thing.

Nevertheless, it's time we got PRC87 going, and this one will have some good ol' fashioned PlayStation coverage. In Little Samson, you had a flying mystical lizard for an ally. In Secret of Mana, you rode a flying mystical lizard into the air to traverse the map once you obtained some kind of drum. In this game, however, you ARE the flying mystical lizard.

Man, this takes me back to the times when I was merely a pre-teen in gaming growth. There was just so much that I came to love about this series in its inconception - vast and mystical worlds to roam around in, a great balance between free combat and challenge, and may I say there were some beautiful graphics considering it ran on a primitive disc system.

But what got me more impressed than most was the musical score, done here by Stewart Copeland from the Police. Though he merely scored the first four console titles, the series in general had some powerful music to coincide with the atmosphere of the area that you're in, and especially in the case of the PS1 titles they've been composed in such a way that many of these would work well as strong standout instrumentals in their own right.

This source in particular is what I feel is one of the strongest examples of that, combining some strong melodic ideas with heavy emphasis on stringed sounds and various pitched percussion. I hope as a result of seeing what there is, we may get some powerful recognition as a result. Best of luck to everyone who decides to take part :D

Before anyone asks about the thread title, everyone should know that 87 is Liontamer's favorite number, apprently. :p Anyway...

GOOD LUCK!

<3 Spyro.

If I can get my computer up and running I'll give it a shot.

Alex Smith

02-03-2007, 04:55 PM

I really like the source. Listening to the mp3, it sounds like the sort of style I'd go for when remixing myself. :D

Therefore, it's hard for me to imagine the source in any other context, if that makes sense.

So unless I get a brainwave over the next few days, it looks like I won't be able to enter this PRC. :(

I was kinda thinking of remixing something from Spyro for fun a couple days a ago, so I might give this a try.

What can I say, I was bored, a bit sick and I'm a big fan of electronic funkiness a la analog/djp. Hope someone likes it.

wow, gotta do this.

Nario

02-07-2007, 02:34 AM

Wow! This song would be neat to do, but I don't know if I can... my college and church life is busy so I'll see what I can spruce up, if anything, that is.

Rexy

02-07-2007, 08:02 AM

Nario goes to church?!

I do see what you mean though. This week I've got to prepare about 12 pages of design documentation for my research and development project. I take the second semester is the busier of the two.

anosou

02-07-2007, 08:47 AM

I'm probably not doing this, sorry Rexy and all my zillions of fans *cough* but I'll be back for the next one :)

POCKETMAN

02-08-2007, 02:10 AM

Nario goes to church?!

Exactly what I was thinking.

Here's my entry:
The Orichalcon - Hot Stuff (http://www.doulifee.com/prc/TheOrichalcon/PRC87_The_Orichalcon_-_Hot_Stuff.mp3)

First mix I've made in a long time.

Rexy

02-09-2007, 10:15 AM

There's a quick reminder that you have 23 hours left to make your mixes. Please, get cracking for the sake of PRC musics. ;)

Rexy

02-10-2007, 10:16 AM

okay, only two entries and it's Saturday. As far as I'm concerned, that's not enough to start a voting spree upon.

The way I see it, I'll extend the deadline by 24 hours to make room for any more new challengers. I really hope that we can get just a little more of a push from this.

(hah, do my source tunes usually cause delays like this? :p)

Alex Smith

02-10-2007, 11:55 AM

Well, the fact that's it's now half-term means I may knock out an entry today.

But when exactly is the new deadline GMT? I don't want to miss it (again). :D

Rexy

02-10-2007, 12:18 PM

Your new deadline is Sunday, February 11th at 10AM GMT. Same time, different day.

Alex Smith

02-10-2007, 04:39 PM

I can't come up with anything. :(

Rexy

02-10-2007, 07:02 PM

ouch, that's not looking good X.x

But if this keeps persisting, I'm still going to end up extending time until we get a new challenger or two. I can only go as far back as Monday morning as we need time for the winner of the contest to pick a source material too.

I can't believe it might even come to that :(

Anorak

02-10-2007, 09:40 PM

I wasn't going to say anything, but I don't won't have a mix either. I don't think I could come up with anything workable.

02-10-2007, 10:46 PM

I will attempt to do a remix of this theme in 1-2 HOURS!!!....oh my what have I gotten myself into.

There ya go for tha love of PRC. :) OK so it took me 3 hours...blue screen of death and all too. I'm sure V can come up with a good 2nd place mix in 2 hours easily...wait that's happened before hasn't it.....;)

Ahem. Yeh, so this took me an hour n 10 minutes, not including render + upload. I love it, personally, very upbeat and smiley. hehehe, and both avaris's n my mixes are 2:09...

Meanwhile, yeh, i'm totally not digging PRC much atm sorry... i'm trying to finish material for a psudoalbum....

This is quite a hard voting...
I know, if everybody who submitted also wrote their choice of source if they win, it'd help ;)

Rexy

02-11-2007, 08:44 PM

I don't think that's a good idea. Odds are that someone could cheat if they see the source tune before the next contest. And there could be bias for certain games as well, so I don't see it to work well in practice.

POCKETMAN

02-12-2007, 01:03 AM

Aw dang, sorry guys.
I just finished mine. I'll post it just so ya'll can hear it, even though it's too late. :)
Just for fun!

Don't worry about it. It still shows that you took your time to contribute nonetheless. It's too late to add you to the voting, but I still hope that you are able to contribute again for the next contest.

And man, votes are coming in here like hotcakes. Nice work so far :)

POCKETMAN

02-12-2007, 02:27 PM

most def. ;)

I promise I'll vote this time. :D

Chickenwarlord

02-13-2007, 01:31 AM

I think a moderate turnout might be better than a large one so far as attracting voters. Too many mixes feels too much a like a time commitment. That said, I have voted.

Rexy

02-13-2007, 09:46 AM

Wut? It's only four main entries. :p The only way we CAN get uptight about that situation is if there's about 7 or more entries involved.
Thanks for the votes so far though.

Alex Smith

02-13-2007, 12:28 PM

Rexy, can you edit topic titles now?

Chickenwarlord

02-13-2007, 06:24 PM

Oh I was saying that this moderate turnout encouraged me to vote this time around, not that 4 is too many.
Ideally every PRC would have 4-5 entries.

Rexy

02-14-2007, 01:03 AM

I still can't edit. I've had to rely on Doulifee to do that, though goodness knows how long it would last.

I do see that you like a moderate turnout of 4 or 5, though for me I seem to be missing the days when various PRCs can tow in at least 6 on a more consistent basis than the norm. I do feel though that as long as quality is further emphasised than quantity for quantity's sake, that should be what matters.

Anyway, you have eight hours left. Get cracking and don't let any stupid cupids knock you down on the way out :D

Rexy

02-14-2007, 08:40 AM

I think we need the response more than ever. We currently have a TIE at the moment, and I really hope that someone would chip in in the next 20 minutes to break it up. Please?

Thank you, very much appreciated :)

So, what is there to do now than announce who took the gold? Let's all hold all hands and paws and see who defeated Gnasty Gnorc and reclaimed the hidden treasures... I mean, won the PRC.

Total number of songs: 4
Total number of mixes: 14 (woohoo!)
Highest possible score: 56

avaris ended up in last place with 22 points.

V_gasm had a close battle and settled for third place with 37 points.

The Orichalcon cleared his return via a route to second place with 41 points.

And the winner of PRC87 is Sir Nuts with 42 points!

Holy crap! Not only did we see an influx of votes, but we also saw a very tight battle for first place here. Either way, you've got the gold Nuts. (that didn't come out right...) You know the deal - send me a source tune by Friday and I'll have the competition geared up promptly.

So, what can I say? Well done for another successful PRC. Hopefully I should see you all again on Friday, same OCR-place, same OCR-channel.

I just realized everyone know who I picked first now :D

avaris

02-14-2007, 01:52 PM

Wow watta a tight race. I really enjoyed V's. TO's and Nut's were right next to eacher other in my book. Still can't believe he did that song in an hour.

Sir_NutS

02-14-2007, 03:14 PM

ah nice, glad to see my try at something I don't usually do was well received. Though race for first place too, I should start voting from now on since i almost lost there lol.

Anyways, I'll do my best to pick a good song to remix, thanks everybody for another fun PRC.

EDIT: Rexy contact me over msn as soon as you can.

EDIT2: if anyone's interested, I remastered the song and added more goodies to it. http://www.sirnuts.com/Music/Sir_NutS-The_Amazing_Analog_Funk_Machine2.mp3
I'll be sending this to Remix:thasauce soon as well.
