Dang, he does the PR job better than me. Do what he says TVG lol. Some directional change is OK, but if its vastly different, you may not get a first place vote. Still, thanks for showing interest* in the compo darkbrandflake11. (edit2) Genre swaps are OK too, but if the tempo + notation is too different, then that's a hard sell. edit: skoshu/Nase's entry for this round was heavily altered, but it kept the mood intact fairly well with some evolution. That's the kind of wild re-adaptation that is good here.

I'm not HoboKa, but I am an avid participant, who has been long enough to know the ropes, and also has entered a lot of MnP. Think of me filling in for Hoboka (Assuming he's kind enough to let me, otherwise i get my A$$ kicked). Meat and Potatoes goal is to use what's called a Conservative approach to remixing. So all source notes and material are present, and the mood presented in the original is kept. If you wanted to remix a aggressive DnB track into an Ambient track, you would be better at PRC, out sister competition, as they encourage originality, and creativity. Of course some interpretation in the MnP competition is allowed, and recommend, however for the most part, homing in closer to the original source is the main focus, as that allows us to appreciate the artistry that went into composing the video game soundtrack. Best to PM him if you have any questions. I only work here lol. Oh well, thanks for joining in, and good luck! TIP - if you want some inspiration, I'd suggest you check out previous entrants from previous rounds. They will give you an idea, to how they have approached remixing the original source, from that round.

Hey Hoboka, I have never done a MnP compo here before. Am I allowed to submit a remix with substantial stylistic and tone changes from the original? I do not want to just upgrade the sound of the remix, I really want to take it in a new direction. Is that allowed? Thanks for your help!

I like the call and response of the piano and the synth. This track has a lot of energy from the get-go and then finds more in the tank at the 2 minute mark. It's a bright, zippy, full take on a classic from an always reliable mixer.

Hiya, I did a Future Bass/EDM arrangement of Cid's Theme from Final Fantasy 9 (for the Pixel Mixers FF9 album Beyond the Mist), featuring @Earth Kid on vocals. It's a bit different from my usual stuff and there's frog sounds in it, so what's not to like?
