    Freshly Baked ReMixer Challenge 2008 (Phase 3: Match-Ups, Mixing, March 16th Deadline

    in Competitions

    Hey man, good to see you around here.

    Also, I can promise a good WIP after a month, but not a finished song. Don't know if that automatically disqualifies me or anything.

    Just do the best you can. It's all we can ask.

    Matter of last minute clarification: "Challengers MUST include a source tune for reference." Does this mean that we must provide a link on the web to a midi or MP3 of the source tune or just provide the Title of the song and where to find it?

    I ask this because the song I want to use for the challenge is not obscure and is in fact available on an OST CD. I have the source tune for the challenge I want to make both on CD and on MP3. But, I could easily find it on the web as an MP3 or I could just point to the much better recording on an authored CD and say to the challegner, "Look here for reference."

    Maybe I'm just worrying about nothing, but I was curious.

    BTW: Good luck to all the remixers in this event. I respect all people who can compose/remix music because I can't due to poor musical ability. :(

    The first thing I'd say to do it direct to a the original sound file (PSF, NSF, GYM...) or YouTube video if you can find one. There are a LOT of YouTube videos of songs out there. If all else fails and you really can't find reference other than an MP3 give specific instructions and we'll take care of the rest.

    if there are suggestions without midis (and there will be) how about those who desperately need a midi state so and they get those sources?

    I never use the midi anyway so it feels like a waste if I were to get a source with a midi and somebody who needs one didn't and therefor can't make a track with the quality they are capable of

    The only problem with that is, there's some odd 55 remixes to go through, so it'll be a bit of a process. All this is being considered though, which is why there's a break between the requests stage and the mixing stage so we can figure out song distribution JUST being the random script. We're trying to make it as fair as we can for everyone to optimize the results.

    HOWEVER you are ENCOURAGED to find a midi, as many of the mixers signed on will likely have trouble without them.

    BUT ANYWAY....

    Mixer sign up concludes at 11:59PM EST tonight.

    Afterward I'll make a few more specific suggestions of things to consider when suggesting your song.

    not dead or anything. really

    So, I was noodling aound here wondering if I should post this YouTube video I made or not, since I hadn't really been hanging out here for ages. I noticed a few threads where people (pretty understandably :D ) seem to think I vanished off the face of the earth or something around 2002. I didn't. I've done over 30 game remixes, not counting the PMM/OUS stuff. I stoppoed submitting music to OCR for a whole lot of reasons that over time all either resolved themselves or became irrelevant. I've been meaning to submit some stuff here for quite a while now, but haven't because I think most of my recent work hasn't deviated enough from the source material to be OCR-appropriate. At some point I'll start sending stuff in again. I just haven't yet.

    ...doesn't explain why SOMEONE hasn't submitted to R:TS yet....a-hole.

    We'd actually like to diversify our merch.

    Doug, we will pay you with gold bullion from the farthest corners of the earth in order to have you design cool stuffs to buy.

    That goes for anyone else. We'll bring this up in a more organized fashion once we have some actual $ available to produce a product.

    Been workin' on it...

    ...no, really.

    Current Status:


    • Phase 1: Wednesday, January 23rd - Saturday, Febuary 2nd, 23:59PM EST
    • Phase 2: Sunday, Febuary 3rd - Saturday, Febuary 9nd, 23:59PM EST
    • Phase 3: TBD

    After Phase I mixer sign-up will be locked out. However Phase I is going to last for over a week from today, Phase II will last for 1 week after that. Following that there will be roughly 5-7 days to work out song distributions, and THEN you'll have 1 month from that time to actually finish the song. So we're looking at a few weeks from now to even get started, and then a month following that.

    Wow. It's nice to stumble into a forum you've hardly visited in years and see your self... well, semi recognized. A few of you *might* remember me as "I like cookies" before I changed my user name to Jeff back in '03 or so. IIRC, Fresh Baked 1 was the very first remix competition on OCR, and took place just after the forum moved from wwwthreads. I came up with the idea on a whim. I was tired of seeing all the whiny "SOMBOADY REMIX THIS AWESOM SONG 4 ME?!?!" threads, yet I could see that some remixers liked the challenge of doing requests. So without any clear plan of how it would work I came up with the basic idea of a request competition.

    About a year or so later (Sept. 03, according to my pms) when numerous other competitions were underway, I decided to go one better - have a contest with an actual, physical prize. GLL won the day, and got a BSOD t-shirt from errorwear.

    After that, the forums got less friendly. I started to visit less and less frequently until I practically stopped altogether, and only popped in when there was a new torrent to download.

    So, it's really nice to randomly pop in and see your legacy. :)

    YES! I Like Cookies! I FRICKEN KNEW I'D REMEMBER IT. Best idea for a remix competition ever, imho. KEEPIN' IT ALIVE.
