Welp,
T'is been a long time since I posted something here,
Count me in, I'll come up with something.

Got something in, keep at it, folks.

Entrant submitted!

Got my entry in!

MnP isn't really about 1-1. It's about respecting the original intent of the source. It's outlined by number 2 in the guidelines. 
If you're gonna do a genre change, at least make sure the original aspect of the source is not lost. This really is the key, into ensuring creative freedom. Do whatever the hell you want, as long as the original aspect of the source is not lost basically lol. This includes Trancifying the source.

Listening to the tune, it sounds like E minor to me. I hear an E Minor and F Major chord progression throughout. The main melody starts with a B as the tonic note, which is the 2nd note in the E minor chord. Just my 2 cents.

Cut Your Way sounds like G minor to me. The second half of the source modulates between Gb Flat and Bb Flat, before jumping up to a C Augmented chord, then back to G.
 

Hey.
Sorry I'm kinda bad at this and don't mean to be a dummy...
But what key is the source in? (I can't tell solely by ear, yet...)

What key is the source in? ...Googling it isn't helping me with this or Cut Your Way. ?

C minor for Gaia Rock, right?
Sorry it was in case you meant Cut Your Way.
*EDIT: Nvm, I figured it out. XD

Ty. I thought so, but I kept getting conflicting details between C min and A min. ^^;

It has worked in the past, so I'm going to try and Trancifiy this a bit. We'll see how it plays out. I'll probably be a bit beyond the definition of MnP though with it.

And I think I've broken my record...and possibly something is wrong with me. Not sure which of those or if its both and I cannot figure out which is which.
Edit - Seriously, I think I've broken my previous record for getting one these tracks out. It was like 3 days, but this took me about 36 hours including revising the mix some (well a lot). And really that makes me question if something is wrong with me lol

I THINK it's Key of D (two sharps), but there's a lot of accidentals. I'm not real proficient with music theory, so I may be incorrect.
And I'm all kinds of pumped for this source, love battle music!

I believe it's C Minor, after I did a little digging.

*waves* :3 ?

Granstream Saga is a fantastic source...
God, it brings back memories... ♥
It was my first PS1 game I ever bought, and I have found memories of it and Threads of Fate / Dewprism for that reason--being the first two RPGs for that system I played.

hi everyone, i’m colorado weeks! “colorado” is fine too, but my government name isn’t, unless i know why you know it.? i’m an amateur song making person based in not-so-scenic new jersey.
i’ve been following ocremix fairly casually since i was a kid in the mid 00’s, but never really got around to joining until now. (or maybe i had at some point, but i’ve no idea what sort of handle i might have used!) though i’ve dabbled in some musical stuff as a kid, (choir, orchestra, a summer of oboe i still treasure despite never picking it up again) i’ve never really gotten down to making my own music and remixes until fairly recently. i entered a couple of compos this summer for the heck of it, and needless to say i got hooked!
on the personal side of things, i have a (currently) one-year-old child that i’m simultaneously proud of and perplexed by, i yell at computers to do my bidding for a living, and i’m currently pursuing an online  masters degree in computer science at ASU! if you have any pointers (pun unintentional) let me know! i need all the help i can get. ?
it’s really inspiring to see what everyone’s working on and it’s fun to know that there are also other people who are really into this stuff too! i’m so glad to finally join this community, and i’m really looking forward to meeting all of you!

Short sources never stopped this community. I'm digging this hot beat.

so i didn’t realize all the MnP discussion was taking place here, so i’m so glad to finally meet some of you! (also thx @TheVideoGamer for letting me know that the party was going on here, and also sorting out all of my midi woes!) can’t wait to see what y’all cook up this round!

Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes)
Congratulations to Coloradoweeks for winning the last round! As a result, she get's to choose this month's MnP source! Here's what she had to say about her pick: 
"i chose this song mostly for nostalgia reasons. The Granstream Saga was the first RPG i’ve ever played, and i’m a little sad to see that over the years it hasn’t gotten much love as some other RPGs of that era. i couldn’t remember much of the details about this game, but as soon as i heard the battle theme, all of the memories started flooding back. it’s a pretty short loop, but it’s a fun piece that’s jam packed with some really interesting bits. i can’t wait to hear how you all interpret this piece!" - Coloradoweeks

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
Rules for Picking a Source:
All video game sources are limited to the 6th generation of video game consoles and earlier. This was due to community consensus, where people preferred to remix more retro games, than newer games. 6th generation includes: GameCube, Xbox, PS2 and Dreamcast.  I'm now restricting big name franchises (Such as Zelda and Mega-Man) to one source per year. This is to encourage more obscure games, that not many people will know about to be picked.  Make sure you provide me both a video and a MIDI of the source in question.  Note: This is subject to change. Also keep an eye out, if any special rounds come into fruition.
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. 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)
