It's results time. Bundeslang got 5 points and gets the last place wooden spoon. Reversing the song doesn't mean the expected results are reversed. Souperion has 8 points and gets fourth place. Anachromium and Wassup Thunder both gathered 15 points, worth a second place. And the winner of PRC422 is TheVideoGamer with 20 points. TheVideoGamer you are the winner. You may pick a source for PRC425. 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 source as fast as you can, but before next Wednesday (31 March 2021), 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/PRC423 for the votes and comments. PRC424 already started: Backward remixing (the source the other way around) was done before at Vgmix, but Kijee's Wily Power (Mega Man 3 - Wily Castle 2) was more a joke song (it was not a remix, but just the original backwards and some effects in it): it is still at http://vgmixarchive.com/. I also plan to make a 'Wily Power' version of that source.

I used the MIDI in FL Studio and just changed the order. I added an Image. The left is the original, the right is the reversed version, leaving the drums intact. Since this is a small source, I did it note by note (at some points I had to make some small corrections).

Good stuff everyone, and gratz to TVG. Always a treat to hear all these songs.

You can always submit it here if you like.

I also voted. Forgot to say this lol...

Vote's in. Sadly, still haven't finished my BONUS song...but after hearing what the contestants submitted, it kind of blew my idea out of the water and killed it. xD I might try and keep at it over this week, but I have a feeling the original intent for it will change up to a different genre entirely. Just need to figure out what to do... D:

The previous winners can only submit a bonus of their own source, but they can remix the other tune or mix them both as an official entry. As for the non winners, they can do whatever they like, whether it’s Source A, or Source B, or both. Usual, MnP rules would still apply of course. So yeah, one source is fine.

Nice source picks! I assume it's fine to only remix one of the sources?

Epic tune! Love it!

Congrats, @TheVideoGamer!! :3

Congratulations to everyone and especially @TheVideoGamer ! Well deserved win! And thank's again to everyone for the kind and instructive feedback! So, do you reverse the MIDI or the audio to start the remix - or both? I'm a little curious about that workflow. (Never done actual remixing, only the type of rearranging you heard in these competitions.)

Will do! ♥

Ah lol thanks for the heads up!

Love it, you definitely nailed that feel! Might just be me but I feel the piano sample feels low quality compared to the rest of the instruments

I love the arrangements, thanks for sharing this, man.

Welcome to the voting stage The mixing stage is over. This round has 5 songs.

They get a 3 point bonus, but they are not allowed to vote for their own track. Always look in this thread to find out who's the winner of the round after the voting stage instead of only looking at ThaSauce for the results.

I prefer something like this: (To) (Subject) PRC ### Vote (Message): 1: (remixer A ) 2: (remixer B ) 3: (remixer C ) (reasoning)

I'm no lawyer. This is uneducated opinion. btw remixing the song, without licensing it, might not be covered by fair use, depending on... things. If you want to be safe when it comes to all this, get a license. Game music is usually fine to remix (probably not ok to sell the remix), but commercially released music is different. 1. Purpose and character of the use The first factor is "the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes." To justify the use as fair, one must demonstrate how it either advances knowledge or the progress of the arts through the addition of something new. Quoth Wikipedia. It's transformative, in that it's not the original audio of neither the trailers nor the original song. And your own cut of the video material. Can't say if that's enough, but I would think so. Educational purpose though? Nope. But it might "advance ... the progress of the arts" though. 2. Nature of the copyrighted work Fact vs. fiction, ideas vs. expression. This kind of stuff. You're not copying an idea, you're copying the expression itself, the video material, but re-cut. The material is fiction. The material is published. What else might matter? 3. Amount and substantiality You're presumably using a lot of the material you can find. A trailer itself is not the whole game, but it is a complete video that's been cut, mixed, released. 4. Effect upon work's value The fourth factor measures the effect that the allegedly infringing use has had on the copyright owner's ability to exploit his original work. In this case, a positive effect, if any, on the trailer. Maybe also on the song. So as far as I, non-lawyer, can tell: You're probably OK on the first and fourth factor, maybe not on the middle two. All are supposed to be considered.
