Just started my PRC entry today and had quick progress already. It won't be great but it's a source I personally love and a style I think I can manage well with by myself without anyone's help, so that feels somewhat good and fun to work with. Maybe a bit outdated in terms of sound and production, but maybe because of that it'll help bringing a more 2000s music forums vibe that somewhat fits the nostalgia for those of you who kept submitting for decades

Beyond your skill level?? What is that nonsense?? What's all that other stuff you wrote around it? That's all solo material! I don't recall if this was an issue in the previous version, but the section where the bass is the focus (0:54-1:14) gets very thin. I apologize if this is something I missed in the previous version. Having some of it be thin is a good idea for a textural contrast to the rest of the piece, but I would consider bringing in the pad that starts in the section following (1:15-1:54). That thin pad could fill the space that the bass solo section has and then also smooth over into the transition to the next section. Which brings me to the middle section (1:15-1:54). This is much better! The bells are nice and that low end mud is gone! Good job. I'm still hearing a lot of sustain/reverb wash in the second half especially when the tubular bells do the descending line (2:25-2:28 for example) I agree you probably went too far away from the source melody in the second half, but you have the right idea with what you were going for! Use the source melody here and do small embellishments instead of bigger gestures. Still feel like the bass in the A sections (0:09-0:53 and 1:54-2:47) could be brought out some more. Taking out the repetition really helped a lot too, it's much more palatable now. Good improvements.

I've got my submission more or less ready to go. Now, I just need to actually get a satisfying mix going on. First pass done, but it just isn't quite there yet.

Done working on mine. Cheers to everyone already done, and keep at it those of you want to finish.

finally finished my entry. looking forward to hearing everyone's remixes!
