    Right, sooooo ... it's still buggy AF.
    I'll opt to do it the alternative way for now. I've uploaded the song as an MP3 file and the blurb for it, etc, to my SoundCloud--also with the ability to download the file.
    I'll continue to try to upload it to Compoverse because maybe it's just having a go for the moment. Otherwise unsure how to fix it, but this is all I can do for now. ♥

    UPDATE:
    So, apparently, Compoverse does not agree with the length of my song.
    I tested this out by uploading a different song, that's about 4-5 mins long, and it worked just fine.
    So anything over ~8 mins and Compoverse says no to it.
    So what I am going to do is upload a shorter version of the song, but follow it with the longer SoundCloud version, which I'll re-post up here.

    Always look in this thread to find out who's the winner of the round after the voting stage instead of only looking at ThaSauce for the results.

    I will post the feedback given in the PM’s and the votes in this thread. The winner may choose the source tune for PRC423. PRC422 is the Ruins theme from Undertale and starts when the thread is there (in a couple of minutes).

    Got my draft stuff in as a Bonus remix as I just found an old export I did somewhere at the beginning. If anyone likes the ideas and wants to do a collaboration on this track I'd be happy to engage! 
    (Edit and Offtopic: Does by chance anyone of you know if one can change its username on thasauce too or shall I just make a new account? Is ThaSauce linked in any official way to OCRemix?)

    Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes)
    Congratulations to Souperion for winning the last round. As a result, he get's to pick the source for round 122. Here's what he had to say:
    "Feel a bit odd having won a round that featured a spirited, upbeat song by making a slower remix, so let's do some Kirby music! Kirby and the Amazing Mirror: Candy Constellation, specifically. It's a real fun piece, one of my favorites from that little gem." - Souperion
    GAME: Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (GBA)
    SOURCE: Candy Constellation
    VIDEO:
    Deadline: 3rd March @ 1PM
    Vote Ends: 12th March @ 1 PM

    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
    Source-Picks are limited to the era of gaming 1984-2006.  In other words, Nes/Sega Master to PS2/GC/XBox 1. I might starting looking at relaxing this rule, to give more leeway in freedom of choice. We'll see how it goes in the upcoming rounds. 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)

    Bonus entrant in!
    I did a bonus for 2 reasons:
    1. To give people a chance to win.
    2. Not many people might go for Rave Racer, so i'd thought i would at least get something in, in regards to the source.

    Good grief, another win? At this rate, my ego will bloat into an unsightly shape. XD
    Really fun round ya'll, I feel a bit bad that I won a round about a more upbeat piece by slowing it down. I'll make it up to ya once I figure out what to choose next.
    Edit: and I always appreciate the feedback.

    Ok so Souperion had trouble voting, so he's sharing it here. This is his vote:
    1st: TheVideoGamer
    2nd: Wassup Thunder
    3rd: TheVodouQueen
    This time around, I feel like TVG got down the MnP themes really well. I loved everyone's innovations and takes, so I relied a bit more on how the song's mixing and such went. 
    Wassup: Enjoyed your instrumentation, those pipes really got me. You made some real happening groove going on there, especially with the piano parts. I'm the worst person on the net for giving feedback on guitars and such, but I think the one you used worked pretty well. The reimagined melody sections were fun, made it lively and spirited. Nice take on this thing!
    VGM: Don't feel so bad about not being the biggest fan of a popular ost. I enjoyed the energy and electronic soundscape of your piece. Even with very faithful notes, it was alive with your style. Love when the hard kicks come in with a percussion upgrade, shaking my ears and window panes. Seems to me that the piece is a bit heavy on the high and low frequencies, a tad shrill at times, but I really enjoyed how the lead strikes me as something between electric bagpipes and strings. Nice work here.
    Vodou Queen: Dang, that stylistic shift! You're right that some of it is a bit sharp, but I am impressed with how you took that mood and atmosphere of the thing and translated it so smoothly. And this piece travels so well, I think it's on the road to the next gig already! I say give yourself some slack from the hard mechanics of the song this time and enjoy what it wanted to be. Come back to this mix sometime later, smooth out and master things, and you'll have a niiiiice song. Keep at it!

    But I'll reiterate what I've said 1000 times over in my critique.
    None of it is meant to be mean or dissy. I loved all your work, as I usually do. Just this time I had to be a little more nick-picky and arsey, I guess for lack of a better term, because of that. It's all good and so different from the source, and as usual, I like it and respect the hustle.
    Hope whatever I said in my critiques is helpful tho. All I wanna do is at the very least be helpful. >_<;

    If something stands out to you, and you find it a little off, you shouldn't be afraid to mention it. While we like the good points, what to improve on, is what strives us as artists. So as long as your not actually bullying, critique (As in, what to improve on...) should be seen as a good thing. 
    Taste is personal, as i always say lol.
    Thanks for voting anyways!

    Once I am done with this composition for the VGM challenge going on on Newgrounds, gonna have fun with this one.
    1 song mixed with both and a bonus source from Lufia II.
    Probably is going to be 90% MIDI work (first time).
    ...And only 16 tracks I can work with.
    Let's see if the uber excitement, over confidence (and pain) pays off, shall we? XD
    @Wassup Thunder I'm sure whichever you picked, song'll be fantastic.

    Dear fellow contestants, I fear, my entry just died due to "tea on laptop" reasons.  (I knew I should have sticked to my one-sip-only-Espresso...) While I hope, that there's not too much damage there's probably no chance for using it to record or mix anything before Wednesday - and that only if I'm lucky.
