TheVideoGamer posted a bonus mix.
Souperion got 7 points and gets the last place wooden spoon.
And the winner of PRC454 is APZX with 9 points.
APZX, you are the winner. You may pick a source for PRC456. 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 source as fast as you can, but before next Wednesday (12 October 2022), 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):

As you may know, October time means it's Halloween! So it's time to do another one of our Halloween special rounds! This time it's gonna be different from last time, and it's gonna be one hell of a show. Let's see what we have in store!
Ok so in this round you will be tasked in making something Spooky! This can be in the form of anything, provided it fits the theme of Halloween. This might be:
Remixing a Video Game source based on the themes and ideas of Halloween. Remixing a song or track from an artist that is based on the themes and ideas of Halloween Imagine you are creating an original composition based on a commission for a Halloween type game/film or T.V Show. Transforming a piece of music, into something fitting for the Halloween season. Your own Spooky Video Game OST for Halloween. An original piece of music that is based on the themes and ideas of Halloween. Any track from any genre, in any length is accepted. I just need to recognise it as a Halloween themed composition/remix/OST etc....
With that being said, i'm afraid there will be submissions i won't be accepting:
A piece of music based of a word that you might associate with Halloween, but is not scary in itself. For example: Candy is something you eat on Halloween. However you can also eat it at Christmas time, Easter and any other time of the day. That's not really considered scary. A piece of music that mentions Halloween in passing. It must be the main focus of your submission. Any music irrelevant to the round. Music that sounds scary, but bares no relation to the themes and ideas of Halloween. Basically i must be able to identify that this is a Halloween themed composition/remix. These rules are there to ensure that this is a Halloween based round, and not a random Free Round, if you catch my drift. Halloween encompasses many ideas and traditions, so you will definately not be short on musical ideas.
Conditions in regards to submitting:
You can upload up to 3 entries maximum. If you are creating an OST, only 1 entry is allowed. None of the rules in regards to source/remix selection apply here, since it's a Halloween round, however the standard uploading rules for ThaSauce (20mb size, MP3 etc...) remain as normal. This round and any other free rounds bares no relation to any of the sister compo's and/or it's affiliates (Such as PRC)  And that's it really. I'm here for any questions you may have, and i'm willing to guide you into opening up your own creative ideas for this round. There will never be a limitation of the music you can make that is based off the wonderful traditions of Halloween. Good luck guys, and remember to have fun!
Note: If you are remixing a VGM source or an piece of music from an artist, it would be very helpful to write down the Game and the Source you are remixing. Likewise the same for the Artist and the Song. 
The winner of this round, join's the winner of the last round for a Double Dose off in Round 137.
Deadline: 31st October @ 1PM
Closing Date: 2nd November @ 1PM
Vote Ends: 9th November @ 1PM

MISSION STATEMENT
The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required.
MnP Instructions/Guidelines
Guidelines:
Modifying the Source is fine, so long as it doesn't sound completely separate from its original intent.  If you're gonna do a genre change, at least make sure the original aspect of the source is not lost. Tempo changes are fine, as long as it's not a big change. I'm talking like, going from 80bpm to 140bpm.  Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max), and submitted as a MP3 file. Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry.  Try to avoid making quality-based comments on submissions until after the Round is concluded.  It is to avoid a Bias in Votes. For this round you can remix more than one source. Do make sure you let me know which source(s) you've picked in the submission notes. MISC/TIPS
- When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make people's lives easier.
- In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

It's been hard to keep up lately, but I can't bear to see this all putter out from a slow season.

Thanks Souperion for filling the void.

It's always been like that lol.

I've just realized i forgot to vote or give feedback lol.
So i'll do it now.
Aurelien Castel: Really liking the array of cool square like sounds. Really gives it that oldschool c64 kind of sound. Main melody is super dynamic, love it a lot. It's got a lot of cool acoustic moments in the piece, despite it's electronic leanings. Each sound changes throughout, it's pretty cool. It almost has a Jazz Fusion meets Chiptune approach. Some of the sounds can unfortunately get a bit loud, or at least close to the threshold. I'm not sure if the chord changes are deliberate, because they sound very spicy (Maybe dissonant depending on who's listening). I don't mind them, but i have to be in the right frame on mind, otherwise i might perceive it as dissonant. Despite that though, the whole arrangement is really great, i love the cool new sounds added in this. It's just a really lovely arrangement, well done! Congrats on winning by the way!
Souperion: Welcome back to remixing dude! This is some really cool orchestral styled approach here. Loving the piano, it's like a mix of Jazz and Orchestral. The drum parts were delightfully 80's sounding, and the synth parts were really juicy and trance like. On it's own, it can get a little...weird and uneven mix wise, but when mixed with the strings and piano, it adds a wonderful electronic edge to the sound, really making it like some Disco thing. The piano is a wonderful touch, makes it more of anime type piece lol. The mix does need some touches for me, the piano is a bit too much in front, and i would add a bit more electronic sounds to bridge the gap more. I feel like there isn't enough to distinguish the 2 (Just a taste thing in my opinion). Ending gets a little distorted for me. The fade out is very sudden, no anticipation for the ending. Despite all that, you did a wonderful 80's styled take on it, with some amazing melodies and sounds. Well done!
Thanks for a fun round. Sorry i couldn't give a proper remix this time, but i will do for the future rounds. Again congratulations to Aurelien Castel, really great job! See you next round!

It was so good! Idk how you are so good at it ?

Thanks for the kind words  

I have good ears lol

My bonus entries out!

Made it!

Yey, got something in
TVG : As always, excellent MIDI file that you provided

Almost done! Second half needs some more color to justify a repeat and then I'm good.

Gratz Aurelien Castel, and you too TVG. It was some good listening.
