Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes) Round 21: Aleste 2 - Stage 1 I tried to pick a source that's dear to me (a game from the MSX home computer I grew up with), but also one that I hope is accessible and open enough for some interesting interpretations. Eventually came up with the first level song of Aleste 2, a shooter for the MSX2. -Jorito Youtube Midi Starts: 15/08/2014 Ends: 29/08/2014 2pm Friday Vote Ends: 31/08/2014 12pm Midnight Friday Submit your remix Here when completed. 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. A modicum of originality is recommended, but not required. All competitors and voters must adhere to the rules stated within: Competition Code and Conduct * MnP Instructions 1. Covers and Sound Upgrades are permitted. 2. As long as you can still capture the source tune's mood and around 75% of the notation, you'll be golden. If you're going to change the genre up completely, be sure to keep the previous statement in mind. For example, a source tune that is fast-paced and energetic that's remixed into a mellow/chill-out theme would be a hard sell. Please refer to the example tracks at the bottom to get a feel for what I mean. Or better yet, check out the submissions of previous rounds. 3. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max). 4. Only 1 entry per participant. 5. Previous winner cannot participate, but can submit a bonus, as well as have a vote that counts 2x 6. Submission must be made specifically for this competition, otherwise it will have to be a bonus track. Taking an old idea of yours and heavily revising it is permissible. Example Tracks: FF7_SonOfChaos, SMW_Monstrous_Turtles, Hitman_Contract_Cleaner, MISC/TIPS - When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make ppl'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) - Certain sad or moody source tunes don't have drums or percussion for a reason. So keeping it that way may be the easiest way to retain much of the original feel, such as and

Thank you Jonathan!!!

Here's to hoping Silent HillS turns out well - I sorta lost hope after Downpour, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Hmm..can't seem to find a workable link to Ultimate Guitar Kit 2 =( Is there any chance you could host it for us Nase? =D

Pushed the vote due-date to Thursday 2PM. My work schedule clashed with MnP so had to make a call.

Hauntingly beautiful last words - not afraid to admit to having man tears =(

Np Jorito Davito...sorry it rhymed. Bad habit of mine Looking forward to hearing it when it's time to vote!

The features sound bad-ass - is there a demo of the instruments/synths kicking around somewhere? Asides from the first 8 seconds

It's stated in rule 2 in the guidelines, which I now realize is both vague and confusing lol. Here's the revision. Thanks for pointing it out Jorito Rule 2.

Please refer to the example tracks at the bottom to get a feel for what I mean. Or better yet, check out the submissions of previous rounds. True to a degree. I think that Nase's stuff is probably the best example for how FAR you can push the boundaries in MnP without me complaining haha. Super Metroid: Upper Maridia for example.

Possibly the only happy theme in Super Metroid - and I love it, albeit it does vary in moods as it progresses, I think it's 95% happy!

Happy birthday ReXXXyyyyyyyyyy

It sends me to an error page, not sure if anyone else is getting this. I've checked the other featured tracks and did not get this message Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML() [domdocument.loadxml]: Entity 'nbsp' not defined in Entity, line: 13 in /home/ocremix/public_html/includes/php/classes/BaseView.php on line 205 Warning: XSLTProcessor::transformToXml() expects parameter 1 to be object, boolean given in /home/ocremix/public_html/includes/php/classes/BaseView.php on line 205
