It's results time. Wassup Thunder did a bonus mix. TheVideoGamer got 10 points and the last place wooden spoon. TheVodouQueen received 15 points and second place. And the winner of PRC430 is Souperion with 17 points. Souperion you are the winner. You may pick a source for PRC432. Again I didn't have time to vote this time and didn't listen to the songs yet, I'll do that later (also for PRC428 and PRC429). 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 (11 August 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). https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC430 for the votes and comments. PRC431 starts in a couple of minutes (didn't receive a source so I pick one myself).

It's always humbling to win a round, especially alongside all the great entries. Looking forward to the next one.

The People's Remix Competition 431 PRCv18-11 Hello everyone and Welcome to the People's Remix Competition! In PRC429 it was Marcusg who got the win. Wassup Thunder, Souperion and TheVodouQueen couldn't stop him. Didn't got the source yet so here's a selection by myself. A difficult one, because it's from Godzilla and the MIDI's are in 12 BPM. Source: Godzilla (NES) - Saturn http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/PRC431_Godzilla_-_Saturn.mid http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/PRC431_Godzilla NES_Saturn.mid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla:_Monster_of_Monsters https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC431 The deadline is Wednesday August 18th 2021 at 10:59 am ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT), check the link https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC431 for the exact time left. Make sure that the song is uploaded to ThaSauce or that there’s a download link posted in this thread. You may enter as many mixes as you like and work with as many people as you like on each mix. You are free to create a second ThaSauce account for that if you use ThaSauce, it's needed to be able to upload a second remix if you use ThaSauce. Of course you can also upload it somewhere else and put a download link in this thread. Do not make qualitative comments on an entry until the results of the vote have been posted in this thread. Mixers cannot vote for themselves but if they vote they receive a free first place vote added onto their score. The winner of this round may select the source for PRC433. Everyone can enter, no votes are doubled. Marcusg still may pick a source, send it to me so I can use it for this or the next round. You can find the full rules list at this page as well. GOOD LUCK!

Congrats all around!

Pretty much a 1:1 cover, with some changes to the percussion, instruments and a little outtro fanfare. Gave it an 80's synth-rock vibe with the power of Omnisphere 2. Enjoy!

If you're looking to learn how to write independent lines that compliment an existing lead, there's an entire compositional art dedicated to just that called "Counterpoint". You can read "Fux Gradus Ad Parnassum" for a fairly complete presentation on how to do counterpoint, but for the short-short version: Four types of motion (aka two notes moving at the same time) are used to create independence between lines, from "most" independent to "least": Counter Motion (notes move in opposite direction) Oblique Motion (one note moves while the other stands still) Similar Motion (notes move in the same direction but by different amounts) Parallel Motion (notes move in the same direction and by the same amount) All of this motion can (and should) be used, but be careful when moving in parallel motion to not move in parallel unison (the notes will sound like the same note, losing the independence), parallel octaves (same issue as moving in unison - you lose the voice), and parallel fifths (fifths discourage motion in music, moving in parallel makes the lines sound disjointed). Furthermore, do not move in similar motion into an octave, unison, or fifth. Oblique motion shouldn't lead into a dissonance, but it can lead out of one. Overall chord intervals shouldn't be dissonant, so don't lead into dissonance between your two notes, but decorative notes (like passing or neighbor tones) can be dissonant without too much issue. Aside from that, go nuts, the world is your oyster and all that jazz. This is a primer on traditional counterpoint, which kinda ignores some modern music (dissonance is generally more accepted nowadays, for example), but it should act as a nice guideline if you're having trouble making independent lines in your music in the first place. This has been a crash course on basic voice leading and counterpoint from yours truly. Hope it helps.

Hmm, I'll need to play the game first and really get a feel for it. I like the genre choices, tho; I can do symphonic electro epic. Since I own the game, I'll give you a heads up sometime later, when I finish it, lol.

HOT. DIGGITY DOG. Thanks to this thread, I actually listened to the whole of SuCaBro. And DJ MIX by Global-Trance is getting loaded to the car stereo. We'll be driving around town with the windows rolled down, thumping around downtown in the minivan -- what's up! Seriously, this album made my day today. And will probably be there for many more days to come. (Have never been into EDM, and these will probably not be all-time favs, but it is still such good stuff!) EDIT : recommend converting from VBR to a constant-bit-rate for the car stereo (as for any long-running track, most of you probably know why...)

Hello OCR Forum goers! A bit of an update, recording is done, artwork is done, we are currently mixing/mastering. Expect a launch by late summer/early fall!
