    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.

    That wooden spine (spine??  Spoon) is now MINE.  Muahahahah.  So who wants to go spooning?  Also, where's my 2nd place plunger from last round?

    It's weird that this thread has 30k views and the other remix threads tend to get around 1k. Any ideas why?

    Maybe it's because nobody's heard of a McDonald's video game before?

    Nice bonus, evktalo! That piano sounds sinister in a cool way when it's downtuned like that.

    I just realized that there's a potential for misunderstanding in my description of my submission. When I said that "I made something totally different from the source melody," I meant that I made a totally different kind of track using the source melody. The source melodies should be prominent and recognizable in my track.

    Entry submitted! If I have time I'll do another listen tomorrow to see if I need to do any last minute tweaks.

    Nice job, folks. It sounded like an interesting tune, and I'm sad I didn't have time to participate this time around.

    Main() {

        addDrums(drum_samples);

    Long story short, I'm working on something! I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow morning, but we'll see.
    I'm not sure if this makes sense, but it was fun to write! I found the messed up text here:

    Slight downswing.  Seems my psoriasis medication is impacting my baseline mood again.  Anyhoo, I'll get my shit together today.  Update upcoming.

    Actually it's 4/4, just with a swing feel, so everything follows a triplet 8th note pattern. You could also notate it as 12/8.

    Sure. I’m happy to do drum parts pretty much any time.

    I can supply the drums if you (or anyone) wants to supply everything else for a rock/metal version.

    Their more recent albums are not on Bandcamp, and are outstanding! I guess you'd have to get them on like itunes or Amazon music if you're interested. They're a small-time band that's been around for a long time, and I think they're worth supporting so I'm not ashamed to shill for them every now and then :).
