    Results are in!

    OA moves on to the hero finals, along with Gario and Wildfire.  The hero finals will again be a simple 3-way matchup, where each remixer needs to use all three sources.

    Jorito achieves a clean sweep of the Dracula Bracket, earning 4 points.  PlanarianHugger and TheShaggyFreak tie for last place and earn one point each.

    The source for the Dracula Bracket, Round 2 is Sorrow's Distortion from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia!  Again, anyone who wants to participate should submit a remix using that source and their own.

    Both deadlines are 2 weeks from now, March 23.  Get remixing!

    Which source are you referring to dude?  Would it be one of our 5 picks we chose from the start or the same track we've been using?

    <opinion>That's your choice, but it's probably not a great idea.  The goal of the compo is to make one coherent musical piece out of the two sources.  If they sound too disparate, it would be cause to vote against your entry.  For instance, I'm still listening to the entries from Alucard Round 1 and composing reviews, but it's apropos to mention "Burning While Submerged" as, in my opinion, not doing a good job of this.  Granted, these two sources make it particularly challenging, but this entry sounds like two pieces joined end-to-end.  It's much easier to make this work if you stay at a constant tempo throughout, or change tempo irrespective of what source is being used during what section.</opinion>

    Gotcha man, sounds good and thanks again!

    Nope. Write a song in 980bpm if you want, as long as it sounds good. :P

    Haha, i mean like i plan on making my track (heart of fire) at 120bpm, although that could change depending on my mood in a few minutes lol, but my question was would it be legit to say have the heart of fire portion at 120bpm and up the tempo of the wicked child portion to 170?  Sounds like a big jump, but i do weird things like this pretty often haha

    Okay, one more question and i'll max them out, promise lol.  When it comes to tempo as well, is there any problems with increasing tempo for your or your opponents choice?  I'll be working in 120bpm for my track but Wicked Child (Jorito's track) i think is somewhere in the 170bpm range by the original songs tempo.  Sorry if i'm bugging you guys and gals lol

    High five!

    I'm 99% it's okay to use live instruments or vox or other recorded stuff, I'm guessing it was mostly midi because of choices, skills and deadlines. I know my track is gonna be midi, now that I can't ask WarMachine to play me a solo :P

    Haha, good deal - thanks fellas!

    Interesting, I'm battling against WarMachine with who I collab'ed on a Castlevania song for Vampire Variations 3 :P

    My schedule is pretty busy, so it might mean a weekend allnighter. Hope to squeeze out something enjoyable though!

    Lmao i was just thinking the same thing dude!  Either way it turns out I'm sure we'll have a blast working on this, as always when it comes to CV tunes :) 

     

    MindWanderer-

    I've got a question for you dude, i just checked out the first round tracks (great job all btw!) and noticed that they are all midi oriented.  Is that a guideline for the compo that i didn't see/understand or is it the composers preference on the writing style i.e live instruments, midi vst etc.  I do guitar and bass in all of my mixes and i use vst's for my symphony/choirs, i just wanted to make sure i'm not breaking any rules before i get started lol.  Thanks in advance, and keep kicking ass everyone! \m/

    I dont't think you'll need those, since everyone's getting their first picks right now, but I've added them anyway.  Took me a little while to find YouTube links, since both names are a little off.

    No one has Beginning as their first choice yet, and it's one of the all-time classics.  But really, at this point all you need to do to find awesome sources is to go to the signup roster and choose a few that aren't anyone's first picks.  This guy has a not-totally-unreasonable point about Treasury Room.

    Well If you guys feel that strongly about It, you could always make my first track treasury room Instead lol
