TVG won without even voting lol. Congrats dood.
Thanks for your kind words about my production values lately, hoboka. I’ve put more work into learning production than anything else music wise for the last few years, and I feel it’s finally starting to show. 

I did, with plenty of time (12 hours) to spare!

Congrats Souperion! Great remix.
TVQ, yes, the guitars in my remix were live. Thanks for asking. I am not very good yet, but I am starting to feel myself getting better with practice.

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!

Wow, getting two 1st place votes from 2 previous winners definitely helped me.  That's a whopping 12 points right there.  I think I'll be greedy and take the Pick this time..  Got something crazy planned for next round, and it's just as well that I get the BONUS vote for it.  Thanks for participating guys!  And nice entries all around : 3

Man.  I picked a bad time to quit caffiene.  My mind cannot slog through an idea right now.  Maybe a MIDI rip clusterfuck.  But beyond that, can't promise anything good.  Or at all. 
I submitted something. Something horrifying.  I'm so sorry Tim Follin T_T

Real awesome turnout, which convinced me to slacken the new rule in place, ever so slightly.  Gonna be interesting to see how MnP evolves.  Or de-evolves.  Thanks for the awesome turnout guys and for everyone voting too! 

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

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

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.

@TheVideoGamer Well, it's a good thing I set up a Poll.  Thanks for sharing your opinion.  You too Dex.  Glad to have you guys aboard.

Results time
TheVideoGamer and Evktalo both submitted a bonus song.
HoboKa got 13 points and gets the last place wooden spoon.
AxLR gathered 16 points, bringing him the second place. 
And the winner of PRC411 is Dex with 19 points!!.
Dex, you are the winner and may pick a source for PRC413. Send the source to me (with a MID/MP3 file, otherwise send a second source with a MID file) by PM, other options are PM me @ ThaSauce or by e-mailing to bambombim@gmail.com (I prefer a PM @Ocremix). Send your sources as fast as you can, but before next Wednesday (5 August 2020), 11:00 AM ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT).
You may select any source from any game, but not a source with an OverClocked remix or a source which has been used in PRC before. An overview of the past PRC's can be found in the following links (I recently updated this site):

I also uploaded the song by Evktalo to ThaSauce

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

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.
