Oh, I finished mine late then, I couldn't recall when was the deadline rofl. Let there be competition !

Kind of hearkens back to OCR's early days, sounds like. During a long, hot summer, I'm digging the chill vibes the energy of this gives off. Like opening the fridge to stick your face in...

Cool! Are you comfortable with me competing too? I can make my entry a BONUS if you think it's weird. Poll 2 is gonna address this question...finally. Shouldn't have let it be a grey area for so long.

Well. I did call this Poll 1. I might add that "leitmotif" bias in there for Poll 2. (edit) I'm afraid of tacking on too many barriers and rules, as I've already taken some potentially restricting steps going forward. But this is an idea worth mulling over. Yep, I PM'd everyone's that has been active for at least the last 3 months or so - so I guess that's what I meant by "relevant" - didn't mean it in a gatekeeping sense lmao. To those I may have let slip between the cracks, feel free to vote! It's a public Poll

Having to chose more musical themes, and try to refrain from using rythm-based musics or themes without musical leitmotifs would be a great option, It opens opportunities for remixers that could be afraid from taking risks. It's just my opinion though. EDIT : Wow... You think I'm relevant to the compo scene? I'm honored, thanks

MOD REVIEW Hey there! So this is a really unique take on this tune with some really interesting sound choices. Taste wise, you might split the room a bit, but these are your choices and you should stick to them! It's a very unique sound. I enjoy the broken rhythms and the drums. My major nitpick is that sometimes I couldn't quite catch what the melody was supposed to be, particularly at 1:30 ish. There's the pumping pad in the back, and I think that needs to come back in the mix and have the melody ride more in the forefront. That happens again at about 2:10, where your wubbing bass kind of drowns out the interesting spooky lead you've got going on. Honestly, I think that's probably more of a personal taste kind of thing, and this could be ready for the judges without it. I'm marking it as complete; you can make the changes or tweaks, or submit it as is! Good luck /MOD REVIEW

That one is new to me. I'm gonna check it out soon!

I'm asking for clarification, this means that you will no longer be accepting sources from console systems released after the above, such as the Xbox360 and Wii, correct? I'm a little disappointed with this change, but I agree that some newer soundtracks can be intimidating and hard to work with in MnP. For what it's worth, I support your decision and I hope it brings more participants! BTW I'm working on my bonus and I hope to have it done by the deadline.

Pardon over 9000 edits... Yes...I'm aware, that a lot of the core participants being gone, it probably doesn't matter which move I take, but I feel compelled to do something. So when I did the homework, I realized that MnP has been suffering a similar drought as PRC since 2018. And participation seemed to peak at an average of 2-3 a round, if lucky, minus a few rounds. Bundeslang and I lost about 5-6 stalwart regulars and a bevy of part-time participants that don't show any more. Life is, right? Anyways...I wasn't rattled before (overmuch), but when Bundeslang was bandying the idea of putting his sword up and calling it quits by 2021, it sort of got the wheels turning in my head. MnP has been dying too; it's getting harder to be so gung-ho about it. So I decided to work on some 'solutions'...that will probably backfire, but DAMNIT, I'm gonna do them anyways!! So here goes!! Cut off Console Era Source Picks beyond the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube eras. There hasn't been any real interest in IP's beyond that cutoff: with the exception of a Mass Effect 2, Dark Souls and a Nier round (to which Brandon Strader was a major factor for...god I miss that madman lol) Furthermore, someone pointed out to me in a PM, that very modern soundtracks can be intimidating for those with mediocre libraries and the MnP model of "conservative approach" kind of...kneecaps whatever flexibility might have remained. Something I should have considered on the onset. Ban 'Obscure' Franchises. This could wind up hurting PRC, so I'd have to be play this one by ear and see how PRC participation is affected.

Results time TheVideoGamer and Evktalo both submitted a bonus song. HoboKa got 13 points and gets the last place wooden spoon. AxLR gathered 16 points, bringing him the second place. And the winner of PRC411 is Dex with 19 points!!. Dex, you are the winner and may pick a source for PRC413. Send the source to me (with a MID/MP3 file, otherwise send a second source with a MID file) by PM, other options are PM me @ ThaSauce or by e-mailing to bambombim@gmail.com (I prefer a PM @Ocremix). Send your sources as fast as you can, but before next Wednesday (5 August 2020), 11:00 AM ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT). You may select any source from any game, but not a source with an OverClocked remix or a source which has been used in PRC before. An overview of the past PRC's can be found in the following links (I recently updated this site): http://sites.google.com/site/bambombim/prc http://bambombim.googlepages.com/PRCRemixList.doc (also downloadable via the link above). http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/prc411 for the votes and comments. I also uploaded the song by Evktalo to ThaSauce
