Grats to Wassup T., very good piece. I had a great time listening to the entries this round, keep up the good work folks. I'll go lovingly use my wooden spoon for my morning cereal

For me the same, the results are also very close (except for the winner). It's results time. Souperion gets the last place wooden spoon but still got 10 points. TheVideoGamer got 11 points and gets third place. TheVodouQueen received 12 points, worth a second place. And the winner of PRC424 is Wassup Thunder by unanimous decision with 21 points. Wassup Thunder you are the winner. You may pick a source for PRC426. 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/PRC424 for the votes and comments.

Great round, everyone, loved listening to everything. I appreciate the win almost as much as I appreciate the feedback. Very helpful critiques all around. Man, I should really study some orchestral compositions... And @TheVodouQueen, the Six Million Dollar Man was my second guess!

Congratulation @Wassup Thunder As I wrote in the comments, that one was very enjoyable and it seems you didn't only meet my taste there! But also again to all the others: congratulations on your remixes! As I got into time trouble yet again, even after the 20 hour grace period, I hope the comments on the vote are helpful in one way or another. I just didn't finish them in time to proof read.

Big congrats to @Wassup Thunder; well-deserved, my man! Souperion mentioned Contra about your song--that was the other thing I couldn't put my finger on about it, in which it reminded me of, besides stuff like Starship Troopers. xD Also, noticed a lot of mention about the samples I used in my track. Yeah... ^^; I was really honing in on that sort of 1970s-80s old sci-fi / action TV show motif. The kinda long-winded (I suppose), majority use of dialogue comes from the entire opening of the 1973 - 1978 show called The Six Million Dollar Man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Six_Million_Dollar_Man. Most people probably would recognize it more-so from the "waahaaananananana" noise that comes from the bionic stuff he does, which gets parodied a lot in media--like when someone who's uber strong or a cyborg does a punch or kick, and that ends up being the sound effect (ex: was used I think in Metal Gear Solid V when Big Boss uses his cyborg arm to punch people.) TBH I did, before the big cuts, have an idea to incorporate more action noises and sound effects like that into the song, but was worried it'd be "too much SFX"--and it kind of ended up being too much anyways with the dialogue present. xD I'm trying to perfect striking that sweet balance between vox and music, but I guess sometimes that mark gets missed, LOL. And yes...yup...being the big goofy fan of all the '80s schlock that be, Wassup was right. I did use a RoboCop sample--when Murphy states the 3 (technically 4) main directives as part of his new programming from OCP: 1.) Serve the public trust; 2.) Protect the innocent; 3.) Uphold the law. ...I had to put that in there. Turrican reminded me too much of the look, premise and feel of RoboCop not to. Glad that some of the vox samples at least were entertaining though. >.<; And yeah that was an extremely close round. Thought mine was a bit too on the nose, TBH, but I gladly wanted to commit fully to the synthwave / cyberpunk aesthetic, points be damned. Love the genre too much. xDDD

My vote's in. You have no idea how hard that vote was for me. Having the burden of double points when wanting to give everyone a first place is simply cruel. Good job everyone, great stuff!

Yeah, that CDi remake is solid. Kinda glad I finished mine before you posted it, TVG, or I woulda stolen more ideas from it XD

Oh gosh, thank you!! I completely missed the ending of the compo and the whole voting stage. A bit much on my mind these days - same reason there's no bonus entry from me. Guess, I was lucky. But as I stroll through the posts, it seems that timing wasn't only an issue for me.

I'll add 20 hours to the voting stage since I won't be able to announce the results earlier.

Vote in. Good luck, ya'll. o/ See ya soon. ♥

Made my vote. Looking forward to seeing the results!

Vote in. This was a fun one, alright.

Started to dig more into part 2 and trying to flesh out the direction I'm going. New link in the original post.

The rearrangement is good, as inspiration for your remix, just to see how the composer arranged it for real instruments.

Haha the main difference is the stabs are string chords, and the drums are techno-like. What's good about this version, is that it highlights how good the chord progression is. Again it's a simple track, your creativity is encouraged, but the strings do make a big difference.

Congrats dude! You all did some great entries!

This gives me all sorts of ideas. Short, evocative, and full of room for variations! And all I got to go off for names is "Track 8"... Time to Zork.

Woah-ho, this song is pretty sweet alright. Going to be a real fun piece to work with.

I'm surprised the system let you submit, because i was 2 minutes on the dot, and when it eventually, loaded the round had ended lol. But it's a relief we have 4 entries. More to discuss...

Got my vote in! Managed to be early for a change XD

I'm special like that. Probably not in a complimentory way! XD

Congrats for you two squeezing in at the last minute(s). Sounds like an achievement to me.

Woot, four entries! Gonna enjoy listening to these!

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

I submitted with ONE minute left to spare... ...I really need to stop giving myself a heart attack and little to no time to even put my thoughts together. xD But I think it turned out basically how I wanted it, minus an addition at the end I had an idea for but had to scrap.

If you guys are interested, one of the composers who also assisted with the score, did a re-arrange for the Phillips CDI. You might be interested. They basically took this source, but replaced the stabs with dark strings, and enhanced more of the cyberpunk flavour. The breakbeat also becomes a background element, than a main feature, because Jason Page added more techno-industrial beats to the beat. Link:

I have submitted! With only 2 minutes to spare lol.

I finished my entry. FOR FREEDOM.
