I only hear piano and bass except for 1:43-1:53, when I just barely hear guitar playing the exact same part, pitch, and timing as the piano, and 2:16-end when it finally breaks free. Ending is kind of abrupt. Otherwise, it's simple but effective and enjoyable.

If Metal Man's suggested hardware doesn't work, you could use: 1) A 3.5mm headphone splitter (intended to use two headphones on one jack, chained to: 2) Two 3.5mm to RCA stereo adapters, resulting in two Left ends with sound and two Right ends without, chained to: 3) An RCA to 3.5mm adapter, taking the two Left RCA's as input. Stupid, and will result in the volume being halved, but it would absolutely work.

Epic source! I'll try to get something in.

Download Now! Got yours, BrothaDom, a minute under the wire. I thought I added this to the submission rules, but apparently I forgot. Can I get source links from each of the participants, preferably YouTube? Hollow's in particular was a little obscure. Edit: Got Hollow's, and Esperado's was given by name, but it's been a while since I played Pokemon RGB.

Got yours.Have you selected "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default" in your options? Esperado, you neglected to turn downloadability on for your submission.

12 hours left, and I don't have any entries. I hope at least a couple of you are squeezing this out at the last minute!

18 seconds of a 3-minute track (10%) seems about right. Maybe 15% as an upper limit.

Your software just can't credit that anyone would actually like hip-hop. :ducks:

Fun stuff. I personally found the off-beat LFO on the lead from 0:40-1:42 to be distracting and irritating, but otherwise I thought this was an entertaining take on the source. I do agree with earlier commenters that there seem to be some overlapping frequencies, but I'm not an expert.

Capcom is awesome that way, and give a lot of support to fan remixers. I know they officially sponsor Mega Ran, and they're certainly aware of all the other Mega Man bands.Covers and remixes are an interesting legal area. Interesting tidbit I got from Tommy Tallarico: at the first Video Games Live concert, they did One-Winged Angel performed by an improvisational pianist and 3 operati. It was pretty bad (especially having just followed the More Friends concert, a few blocks away and a week or two earlier, which did One-Winged Angel with the L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir and the Black Mages). But the reason they went with such a crappy arrangement was that SquareEnix refused to give them the rights to the orchestral arrangement. I'm not sure what the legal distinction is there, but apparently there is one.

There's a sort of "squashed" note at 1:38 that needs fixing. Otherwise this sounds good to make the cut!

Listened to the Flimbo's Quest source on YouTube. It was catchy, so I took its suggestion that I listen to the third track of the OST. Wow, a 2:00 source from a C64 game! And that led me to find Machinae Supremacy's cover of the song... so thanks for the suggestion, OneUp!

Looks like about 4 or 5 in each bracket, about even. Going to be quite a challenge.

Hold it open for 2 weeks anyway and shoot for 64.

Now that's just asking to get hurt.

That may be facetious, but I'm actually not very familiar with that series. I'll say that if the main point of the game is to drive fast, then it qualifies. If being fast isn't necessarily important, as in, say, Euro Truck Simulator (by my understanding), then no.

Go go go! Theme Excitement is building for the Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2014, so let's get revved up for the fastest erinaceomorph on record with a little racing! You should either: Base your remix on a source or sources from a racing game (including kart racers), or from a racing minigame or segment in a non-racing game, or: Choose a source that doesn't sound anything like it should be raced to, and remix it so that it does! Pairings Esperado with timaeus222. The SamAreAye with Flexstyle. BrothaDom with Argle. Hollow with evktalo.

Current signups, with deadline in two days: Esperado (Novice, flexible) timaeus222 (Star) The SamAreAye (Novice) Flexstyle (Star) evktalo (Star) BrothaDom (Novice) Hollow (Novice) Argle (Star) Anorax, I'm not sure whether your wishy-washy statement was a signup. So right now we have 4 and 4, or if Anorax (or another Novice) signs up, Esperado switches sides and we have 5 Stars and 4 Novices! If that's the case, if no one else takes that last Novice slot, I will.

Yes, that's fine. The intro post spells out the guidelines in more detail.

Yeah, no. If you're posted, you don't get to call yourself a Novice for this thing (despite any personal feelings that you still have a lot to learn--everyone does). I'm sure someone will sign up who could benefit from your experience and skill. I may do so myself.

I doubt that it was too obscure; it's actually pretty well-known and very good. The game even has a lengthy OCR album. Chalk it up to the holiday season, more likely. I know I had intended to submit to the PRC this time, and couldn't despite the extra-long remix period. Also this PRC round was ridiculously tempting and probably stole some of the attention from MnP.

Actually, I feel like it's the intro that drags on too much. 0:11-1:11 is the same few bars over and over again, and then it repeats again at 1:40-2:13 and 2:40-2:52. Honestly the arrangement doesn't hold my interest at all. The lead is also too quiet throughout. The backing seems fairly solid to me. Could we get a source link?

I agree with all this. My one big crit of this remix is that the volume is all over the place. A comfortable volume level for the intro and outro raises the main song into the "hurts my ears" level, and a comfortable level for the main song lowers those into the inaudible. I got used to that bass throb but it did take some getting used to.I actually really like the synth strings, but then I like synth strings in general. I find it to be well contrasted with, rather than outdone by, the slick synth at 5:18. Overall a really well-done and entertaining mix.
