I didn't know that. I don't disqualify the vote, but I added a third place for everyone who's not in the top 2. You get your 3 point bonus.


It's results time.
First of all, it didn't look like a lot of remixers would enter this round, but at the end, after extension, seven remixers where able to post a song.
This time, 11 listemers voted for the songs and they weren't all the same. At the end, the winner received just 5 points more as the #2. Every remixer voted and claimed the three points. It was hard to count the scores and change the points, but I hope everything is correct.

Total number of mixes - 7
Total number of votes - 11

Highest possible score - 36
Minimum possible score with voting - 3


Bundeslang and Setokaibarocket received a third place, but four points aren't enough to not receive the last place wooden spoon.

Gario and Brainstar tied as well, they received more points and some first places. Both received 12 points and fourth place

Rationaljeff starts with a nice third place. 17 Points is very good for a debutant.

Ghetto Lee Lewis tried to make the "Prophecy-GLL victory Ring", but his 20 points are not enough to win, it's a second place.

And the winner of PRC146 is TheoConfidor with 25 points!

Congratulations TheeConfidor. You submitted a great song. Every voter voted for you, and you received a lot of first places. Ghetto Lee Lewis couldn't beat that. The debutant, Rationaljeff, surprises the most of us. Taking 17 points in a round with 7 mixers is very good. All the points Brainstar gets where first places (and his own vote of course).

TheoConfidor, you may select the source for the next round, PRC147. Send your source to me (with a MID/MP3 file if you can) by PM before next Friday, 22 May 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.

See you next Friday.

Congrats TheoConfidor. I must be really lucky to get seven remixes of my song. Anyhoo, here's my reviews/reasons for votes:

1. GLL: 9/10

Cons: Vocals aren't fit well to the beat. Mix lacks overall volume and punch. First half feels a little confused. A bit of mud in some places - nothing too extreme though.

Pros: The vocal melody in the second half is SOO catchy. If you'd built the rest of the song around that theme, you would've had a much stronger entry. The singing is good. The synths range from decent to fantastic. Good use of transitions.

Ultimately, I picked your mix for #1 because the harmonies you used in the second half surprised me (in a good way). I'm rearranging this same piece myself for live performance for a local ensemble - needless to say, I've explored a lot of the possible harmonic combinations and themes - but apparently not all. =)

2. TheoConfidor 9/10

Cons: Didn't care for the intro. The mix begs for London-style mixing but gets soul crushing aural uniformity instead. The guitar clashes with the other frequencies a bit too much. The low end seems neglected.

Pros: Absolutely masterful use of transitions - the highlight of the piece imho. The guitar just sounds plain awesome when it's playing the main melody. High quality samples. Good arrangement overall. Never loses its momentum.

3. rationaljeff 8.8/10

Cons: The fx in the intro were cheesy compared to the rest of the mix. Mixing lacked punch - even for an easy listening-style song. The second half seems a little underdeveloped - like it should be building to something - then it just sorta fades out. I think it should've been longer, or had a shorter intro and then cut off sooners. As it is, it's kinda of in limbo between two structural concepts.

Pros: This song is so listenable (after the intro) it's not even funny. I'm honored that you chose my humble midi as your first remix. The mix is well balanced and the arrangement is fantastic. I will listen to this even after the compo. Seriously. (Though I may edit out the intro)

Ok, that's my 1st, 2nd, 3rd places. You have no idea how hard it was to pick these.

4. (tie) Brainstar 8.7/10

Cons: A few weak harmonies that dragged the rest of the mix down. Mixing seemed a little sloppy for live instruments. Muddy low mids. Cheesy strings.

Pros: Great atmosphere. When I first heard this song, I assumed it would be the favorite for the compo - who would've guessed we'd have so many other great entries. I really think the horns did justice to my original vision of the song and I like the melodic liberties you take.

4. (tie) Gario 8.7/10

Cons: That arp is so cheesy I just want to reach into your mix and strangle it. To death. Or at least strangle the resonance out of it, and filter it differently or something. It just doesn't fit with the rest of the song. The clap is annoying. The choirs conflict with the fluttering synth that starts off the song.

Pros: Love what you did with the bassline. The choirs really add epicness and emotional depth to the song. The song is well paced and has a logical intro.

5. Bundeslang 6/10

Cons: Not your best effort by far Bundeslang. The synths are very cheesy, but not in an endearing way. The percussion is sorely lacking.

Pros: Strangely catchy...

6. setokaibarocket 3/10

Cons: Your mix seems to be missing the "song" part. Seriously, there's no melodies or vocals, just a music bed.

Pros: A good start - I like the beat, but it's definitely not a complete song. Why not rap over it next time?

Thanks everyone for entering! Was fun to see to many interesting remixes of my track.

[Gario]

Wow, that was a pretty intense compo, this time around! Looking at everyone's voting I feel guilty for not adding details for everyone's mix... Meh, I'll do it next compo - I'm too lazy to fix this now :P.

Get some good music up, TheoConfidor!

Damnit! I spelled 'you're' wrong... Thanks for pointing that out, JH64 (not that there's much I can do about it )

[rationaljeff]

Wow third place that is an honor. I had fun doing this, and as much fun listening to everyone else interpretations.

Looking forward to some more!

[Hardbeat Acolyte]

Congrats TheoConfidor, and see you all next round, if I have time to enter =P

[Brainstar]

congratulations, TheoConfidor

I kinda feel ashamed that I've given such a short comment at my voting. I'll give better comments next compo

I'm looking forward to the next round

[Bundeslang]

I hope TheoConfidor can send the source for the next round between now and 11 hours, otherwise I must ask Ghetto Lee Lewis.

Still haven't the source.
Ghetto Lee Lewis, I hope you (as number two) can send a source for the next PRC. If TheoConfidor can get a source in, that is gonna be the source for the next round. Let's get PRC147 started (otherwise it might end up submitting a source by myself).

[Gario]

Soooo... if GLL put up a source would he still be allowed to submit a mix while TheoConfidor couldn't participate, or would GLL be forced to sit out (or at least submit a bonus mix, not a competitive source) if he submited?

It's an odd scenario so I'm just curious how you plan on setting up the next round .

That's difficult. It doesn't happen many times. I better not aks Ghetto Lee Lewis because he already selected the source a few times. I think it's better to change the rules here. Anyway, if there's no source in a 12 hours, I pick one by myself (I don't think it's good to wait longer).
