I've begun something. I always think it'll be easy to load up the midi and start piling up some sounds on it, but.. no. It's just weird, I think I'm much better off when approximating the source by ear and building up each instrument from that. With the midi, the "playing" is always quite clunky, whereas when you do it by ear and really sequence for the sound you have, it's much more natural from the start. Or something like that.. what's the experience of you folks? Anyway, I'll have something together, and it's possibly quite interesting. I'll try to keep to the M-n-P spirit though!

Thanks for the comments! I've given the spot you mentioned a few listens. I couldn't hear anything problematic (it's quite hmm, tense though) but that can well just be the fact that I'm so used to it by now. I've already fixed a couple of spots in the harmony earlier in the piece (thanks to RiverSound), so I'm admittedly struggling a bit with the harmony in this one. I'll need to try changing it a bit and see if it starts sounding better, or maybe try to analyse the keys/modality (which I should learn anyway). Thanks!

Whatever you choose, as pledged, I'll enter the round & eventually work my piece into a posted OC ReMix (assuming the source is eligible for OCR submission). Choose wisely!

Funny, some time ago I watched some Amiga longplay videos and was thinking the original tune was pretty good, it'd be fun to try to do something with it. I guess I didn't even think there was already a piece on OCR! This is indeed a pretty fun track. The bass comes off as a cheap old school MOD bass, not in an entirely positive way. That's about the only negative thing I'd say about the piece. Great idea to make it into a song.

Dudeeeeeh.. I'd be super happy & honoured to collab with you on this thing. Let's do it! I've migrated to 3.0 but can switch back to 2.8 if so desired. I pretty much only use samples old-school style & native plugins, partially because I'm on Linux & haven't figured stuff out. My knight list was Treasure, Sceptre (which is kinda popular), Shield & Black, how did that sound to you?

Okay, that looks pretty interesting, I might give it a go later. The music sounds really good, good job!

I think I'll want to be in the doubles tourney, if only to make it a little easier time-wise. Plus, collabs are tons of fun, you never really know what is going to happen and it's always different from & much better than what I'd come up with myself. Any Renoise users wanting to team up?

Dammit, I should've made a better tune.

Nice mix! And I was happy to see you included Pleiade's piece in there, I'm letting him know.

Congrts! I'll be checking the game out as soon as I can. I remember the early trailer, it looked right & sounded great.

Yeah, the collab stuff sounds cool as well as getting as many people in on the fun as possible.

WIP 2014/08/19 Quite possibly finished. Maybe work on a transition a bit. edit: Nah, I think they're fine. Let me know otherwise. MOD REVIEW!

1. Treasure Knight 2. Plague Knight 3. Shield Knight 4. Black Knight edit: Doubles please. Teammate: Jorito

Thanks FenixDown & all the participants & voters for a fun compo! And congratulations to Jason Covenant for an excellent run throughout. A well deserved victory! After going through all the rounds in the compo, I must say I'm completely wiped out, and won't be signing up for any new compos any soooWAAAITAMINUTE, SHOVEL KNIGHT COMPO? SEE YOU THERE! What I liked about this one was the theme that was focused, but enabled people to pick from a game or game series of their own choosing from within that theme. I also enjoyed mixing my pick into themes that were from "outside" the match-up if that makes sense.

I have voted! Many thanks to both for entering; good luck with the vote!

YESSSSSSS I mean NOOOOOOOO i mean YESSSsss i don't wannaaa.. i wannaaaaa! I'm in. I'm completely exhausted and I don't have any time but no way I'm missing this one.

Thank you HoboKa! More tracks please, let's have a competition! I have uploaded my bonus track, since I don't think I have another moment before the deadline.

I hope people are busy working on their entries. =) I wanted to throw in an additional little incentive: I pledge to enter the next round & work my entry into an OCR-evaluation passing piece! So the winner gets to pick the source for that. It might take a while - the Deus Ex mix I just got posted was from round 199... but it will happen. Additionally, I've started my bonus entry: some techno with C64 samples. Sounding pretty strange already!

You need to update the list in the first post... here: I still think you shouldn't have reused #39 but left it as a mystery...

A bit different talkback, which is cool. Good topic! Love that awesome Awesome mix, personally.

Nice pick! Great to see some love for the MSXs.. not that I've had many interactions with the machines, but I've always thought they were quite neat and had interesting game libraries. (I saw Maze of Galious one day as a child and it haunted me for the longest time until I found it again on Youtube).

Quick changes with the same link: bit of levels & stereo separation on the leads and a little reverb tweaking.

Happy birthday!
