    Huh, no one else mentioned that the strings sounded shrill, so I think I was being too subjective on your guys' collab.  Maybe I tried too hard to find something to critique...see why I need to take a step back?

    Hey there.
    TYSM for the congrats guys, but TBH, it's all of you who should get the biggest congrats. Those were some damned good songs, and I really did have a terrible time picking and choosing amongst the lot. No one song, to me, was "bad", even if a WIP / old project. So congrats all around.
    @Dextastic TY for the deeper bit of criticism on Catamitus. I'll take it into account with the rest and possibly do a remaster or fidget with it before publishing it fully.
    @HoboKa It's no problem at all. Was my sincerest pleasure to try to give everyone in-depth critique! Hope they're at least useful...
    I noticed some questions came up about my work, two of which I'll try to address here:
    None of the songs, even Halcyon Hare Stage were done using anything but BandLab and whatever SFX, EQ, VSTs, loops and samples are available on there. XD There were no live recordings or using other devices to meld sounds together--hope that doesn't burst anyone's bubble. D: But my deepest TYs for thinking the songs were good enough to sound live recorded! Still think I need better kit to make the sounds less issue-riddled where they do (like some of the clipping or out-of-syncness some of you pointed out,) but perhaps when I get some money I'll move onto a 'real' DAW like FL Studio, see where that takes me. They were all different songs. The one that one was MMX6's Rainy Turtloid (Inami Temple) Stage. Halcyon Hare was an original song I made, just to have the sound aesthetic like a Mega Man X game, and Catamitus was the remix of the Castlevania song 'Aquarius'. Hope that cleared up any confusion. Again, thanks so much for the critiques and the thumbs up. The positive vibes made me blush and the constructive criticisms were super good and thought-provoking. I'll try to take them onboard in future projects.
    And I'll try to pick something real good for the next PRC! :3

    Big Update!!
    I am going to be taking a break from MnP and am working to delegate all responsibilities to @TheVideoGamer and to a lesser extend @Bundeslang.  I will be on standby for emergencies. 
    [Wtf was I on??] Though I aim to spend less time at OCR, as I love the community, but I don't like how high the Quality Bar is and feel that the Judge Panel could step it down a notch for the less skilled hobbyists.  Also this blinding white light of the forum Theme is really bad for my eyes.  Being near-sighted (yeah, I use glasses...but I might be at risk for Glaucoma) and with constant Allergy problems, it's just not good for me lol.   [Clearly, I was conflating the issue here.  Some of it is true, but...I was dancing around the crux of the matter.  Most likely, it is background noise to other issues I am dealing with.  Double apology there.]
    [More Apropos] I have come to realize that I am poor at handling stressful situations and I lost my cool, to say the least, with one of our participants.  I don't want this to be a pattern and I need to get back on counseling and healthier self-care routines.  It sucks, but it is what it is.  Said individual told me they've forgiven me.  However, I still don't feel good about it. 
    I have thoroughly enjoyed hosting MnP and being a huge part of the Compo Community.  Wish the best to you guys

    Wow! Congratulations TheVodouQueen, well deserved! Also congratulations to all other entries, what an impressive round!
    Massive thanks for all the nice feedback! I might add, now, that the voting is over, that this was really a last minute thing. I recorded all tenor trombone & euphonium parts myself 6h before the deadline, because I did a spontaneous covid-safe orchestral recording (so: 1-on-1 sessions for all parts) including video cut the 72 hours before, which completely smashed my Zelda schedule. I nearly forgot about adding the drum takes (also live recorded by a friend of mine) at the end.  As the covid restrictions are getting tighter I'll probably do a re-arrangement and re-record most of it for a video (including the original ATTP footage).
    I might also shortly answer to evktalo's feedback about the farty sounds, just to save the honour of my bass trombone colleague: I think, what you find farty is the absolutely incredible contra bass trombone, which I unfortunately had to reduce about 15dB(!) in relation to his other bass trombone takes, because I didn't had any more time to get the upper voices in balance by adding a couple of voices I had in mind at the beginning. It was a real bass trombone slaughter the first time I listened to it after recording.
     
    Nah, wasn't ment that way! I was just a little abashed by the quality of all of your mixdowns!  Still got a lot to learn about recording and mixing.
     
    Thank you for the advice! I'll try!

    If you are ashamed, what should I be. I tried with 3 songs, and none of them could beat yours. My three songs together got 11 points, which is the same amount as the score from the number 3 (well, I'm actually honoured that one of my songs even got points, since there are so many entries).
    I suggest to try HoboKa's tip, or contact an admin.

    It's results time.
    It's a bit confusing with the multiple entries, but here are the results:
    HoboKa did not one, but two bonus mixes.
    AxLR did a good song which deserved more, but it got the last place wooden spoon
    Several songs ended with 3 points and eight place, some by voting, some by score: Bundeslang - Nirvana - Sifting, Bundeslang - Quitting At Level 8, Silverpool64, Trism and TheVodouQueen - Halycyon Hare Stage.
    TheVodouQueen - Catamitus Exultant Lusibus and Evktalo tie for sixth place with 4 points.
    Bundeslang - Snakemania got 5 points and fifth place.
    Brainstar got 7 points and fourth place.
    TheVideoGamer did a long one, it got 11 points and third place
    Wassup Thunder and Souperion were close, their song received 15 points and the second place
    And the winner of PRC419 is with TheVodouQueen - The Rain Won't Stop The Beat (Japan Disco-Funk Mix) with 17 points.
     
    Hopefully I didn't make any calculation errors, but since I only needed to add the voting bonus, I'm pretty sure it's correct. TheVodouQueen wins the round and gets the right to select a source for PRC421. 
    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 (27 January 2021), 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):
    http://sites.google.com/site/bambombim/prc

    http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC419 for the votes and comments.
     
    TheVideoGamer, you still may pick a source as well, as winner of PRC418.

    There's such a eclectic collection in this round, it's taking a while for me to settle on votes. I likely won't have time to give much analysis for each song, but I'll try.

    Very impressive. There is a strong wintery vibe, with a mix of cheery and contemplative almost. And very impressive dynamic contrast across the arrangement. The lead instruments sound clear, crisp, and at the forefront as they should. I can't think of much input on mixing or anything. A beautiful project well done.
