    Yikes... The competition is fierce from the looks of things...

    Guess I've got my work cut out for me. Makes me feel like I should withdraw or work on it more, but at the same time feels like I can't do much more with it.

    ...Really jealous of Soup's now. :/ If I had more skill I would've done Phendandra Drifts or Chozo Ruins in a similar tribal motif... >_<

    I haven't listened to the entries yet, but we're all just here to learn and have fun. I've learned a ton by doing these over the last few years. Entering these competitions should be a low stress thing, even if the amount of work and love you put into your entry is high.

    I've got something in the works, and it's probably not a source anyone else will pick.

    I think the submission deadline on thasauce is off from the OP. Either way I should be able to get it in on time, though.

    I'm doing this partly as an excuse to demo some new guitar amps. So expect some geetars from me. \m/

    Good to see you again APZX!

    Much appreciated!  And I made a significant update to the last post.  Hope it didn't come off too weird.  Ah, what am I saying.  I am the embodiment of weird.  =p

    In any case, there is a plethora of entries this round and it feels like 2014 MnP again.  Groovy.

    I'm guessing the source pick helped. It's a great tune.

    hoboka,

    I voted for the first option (Limit source picks to the pre-2007 era), simply because this is MnP so it's more about production. It's way harder to make better productions of more-recent VGM while staying true to the source.

    I wouldn't mind if you limited picks to more popular franchises too. I don't really care on that one either way. You know the data on how much interest each type of source has gotten recently way better than I do.

    Actually I only used one of the drum loops. Speaking of which, you said all the samples except for one were from the original game. I wonder, how did they isolate the drum loops from the rest of the song? Were they just there on the game disc as separate files?

    Yeah, this is definitely the kind of thing I would do for PRC but not MNP.

    Also, thanks for the kind words. I was pretty happy with what I was able to achieve this time around. I added a few original riffs to the remix, which I'm not sure what I'll do with. Maybe I'll spin them off into new original songs or reuse them in other remixes. I do agree that the violins are too loud when they first enter, but I think the right solution is to turn up the other stuff (only before they come in) instead of turning them down, which achieves a more consistent volume level across the track and a more dynamic mix overall. I tried that after the deadline and it worked, at least to my ears.
