This was the on-going identity crisis I was dealing with with MnP, back when I ran it. Good to see you understand the spirit and are more eloquent with getting that across TVG. I'm proud of you m'boy Edit derp. Wrong Post.

Source isn't quite my cup. I'll lurk around and wait for my time to shine though. And welcome aboard the Compo Scene @colorado weeks. Good to see new faces EDIT...well actually I COULD do something good with this since Synthwave is my style. But I'm hoping for something a bit more familiar to me maybe. 'Cut your Way' reminds me of Wild Arms. Well, it's your gig now. But RIP my dreams. Was hoping to snag a few more metroid tunes.

Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes) Congratulations to Coloradoweeks for winning the last round! As a result, she get's to choose this month's MnP source! Here's what she had to say about her pick: "i chose this song mostly for nostalgia reasons. The Granstream Saga was the first RPG i’ve ever played, and i’m a little sad to see that over the years it hasn’t gotten much love as some other RPGs of that era. i couldn’t remember much of the details about this game, but as soon as i heard the battle theme, all of the memories started flooding back. it’s a pretty short loop, but it’s a fun piece that’s jam packed with some really interesting bits. i can’t wait to hear how you all interpret this piece!" - Coloradoweeks GAME: The Granstream Saga (PlayStation 1) SOURCE: Cut Your Way VIDEO: Deadline: 2nd October @ 1PM Closing Date: 4th October @ 1PM Vote Ends: 11th October @ 1PM MnP ARCHIVE - made by Trism submit: http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/MnP127 MISSION STATEMENT The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required. MnP Instructions/Guidelines Rules for Picking a Source: All video game sources are limited to the 6th generation of video game consoles and earlier. This was due to community consensus, where people preferred to remix more retro games, than newer games. 6th generation includes: GameCube, Xbox, PS2 and Dreamcast. I'm now restricting big name franchises (Such as Zelda and Mega-Man) to one source per year. This is to encourage more obscure games, that not many people will know about to be picked. Make sure you provide me both a video and a MIDI of the source in question. Note: This is subject to change. Also keep an eye out, if any special rounds come into fruition. Guidelines: Modifying the Source is fine, so long as it doesn't sound completely separate from its original intent. If you're gonna do a genre change, at least make sure the original aspect of the source is not lost. Tempo changes are fine, as long as it's not a big change. I'm talking like, going from 80bpm to 140bpm. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max), and submitted as a MP3 file. Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry. Try to avoid making quality-based comments on submissions until after the Round is concluded. It is to avoid a Bias in Votes. MISC/TIPS - When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make people's lives easier. - In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

I usually find at least one major earworm every 3 months, but it's been over a year since I can claim that. This is the closest I got right now:

got my bonus entry in! me, making it: “hey, the brass kinda makes it sound like ‘Tank!’ i wonder what would happen if i add the bass from it” me, after adding the “cowboy boopboop” bass and realizing it works: “goddamnit”

You know listening back, it actually works haha. You only need to change the drums, everything else stays ?

MnP isn't really about 1-1. It's about respecting the original intent of the source. It's outlined by number 2 in the guidelines. If you're gonna do a genre change, at least make sure the original aspect of the source is not lost. This really is the key, into ensuring creative freedom. Do whatever the hell you want, as long as the original aspect of the source is not lost basically lol. This includes Trancifying the source.
