The Vodoú Queen

Updated the first post.
The main reason to quit is that I don't want this contest to end up with many rounds without entries. As written in the first post, PRC469 was the first real round when that happened. With my quick songs for both PRC469 and PRC471 these rounds still didn't end without a song. And of course I don't let this one end without a song as well.
Nowadays people don't find their way to the forums and I don't feel anything to actively promote this on Social Media or somewhere else. PRC should stay PRC, after 20 years it is also a good moment to end it. After this I will still keep an eye on these forums.
Let's make this round a good last one.

Of course i will be setting up the round if there's a bare minimum of 3 or more, because i want people to be active, but yeah, this might be the future.
Glad you still have the drive for music, and it would be fun to remake your first remix, so that sounds like fun. 

FWIW, if something like this happens for MnP, I'll be there, VG. Plan was to probably redo the very first PRC remix I've ever done, kinda demo my journey in the music making process since those years ago.
Would be so happy to do it for MnP as well!!! Still remember both first rounds so fondly... ♡ And I still have the project files to boot!

It is unfortunate, but i guess this is how it was meant to be. I'm grateful to see the old gang back together, for one last compo. ?

It's a shame, but i suppose it can't be helped.

I can't say i'm surprised. MnP is suffering the same fate as PRC. I've set up a poll asking whether it should be on demand or not, and so far people are saying it should be. So similar to PRC, MnP will run it's course, and unlike PRC will transfer to a On Demand model.
Shame it has to go, it was a lot of fun. But it was especially fun when people were around sharing remixes, and providing fun critique, but alas it's just not the same as it used to be. 
I'll hold out for this one, and write a farewell song for this round. It's been fun working with you all. Just for the record, i'm not leaving, i'm just not gonna be doing this every month. My poll closes on the 31st October, so the real results will come then. Thanks for being such wonderful people, here's to the future!

Truth is, it's becoming a bit draining making rounds for what is gonna be no entries. I have a lot of stuff going on in the real world, and unless there was significant buzz, i feel like this is just getting popped up for the sake of it. So the poll i've made was kind of asking, if it's fine with the current format or if it's better on demand, and so far from the results, it's very likely it will be on demand. This means if you want to remix a video game source, you message me, and i will set up the round, compared to what it always has been, which is a round ever month. You could try the discord, but i think i'll just let it run it's course. It's been a fun couple of years running this, and even more fun participating when HoboKa was around. Maybe i just don't have the drive i used to, because of how many people are not entering. Thanks for the support anyways. 

Back again to where it all began... :0
This is extremely sad to see, and I wish this year I could've dedicated more time to PRC and MnP.  However, Godspeed to everyone who was ever involved with either, and I still have fond memories of these even with my brief time doing them.
...But one more for old time's sake? *bro-fist* Hells yeah. Count me in.

The People's Remix Competition Final Round (PRC472)
PRCv20-13

Hello everyone and Welcome to the People's Remix Competition!
 
This round is located at:
https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC472
 
Source: Free Round (Every source is allowed, including making originals)
This will be the last round of PRC. Since it's getting harder to get any songs in and I also lack time myself to be very active in it I decided to put it to an end. I don't feel anything for changing the setup of the contest or promoting it more. I'm happy that I kept it running this long. Many rounds got a good amount of songs and a voting stage but the last years it was hard to get any contributions. Still, PRC469 was the first round without an entry. I don't want this going with much rounds without entries, after 20 years it is good to end this contest. It's been a long time since I took over PRC from Rexy (after PRC130 back in October 2008, 15 years ago). The contest itself started back in late 2003. I want to thank everyone for this long, long time.
If someone really not wants to end PRC and wants to take over the organisation of PRC he/she is free to start season 21 next year. Send me a PM if you want this to happen.
 
Of course, PRC will not before there's a Final Round.
It's a Free Round. Feel free to remix whatever you like, also making an original mix is allowed. You can also submit multiple songs.
The remixing stage is the longest ever in the PRC history, over two months of time to make a good remix.
 
The deadline is Tuesday December 26th 2023 at 10:59 am ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT), check the link https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC472 for the exact time left. Make sure that the song is uploaded to ThaSauce or that there’s a download link posted in this thread. This is the longest remixing stage ever in PRC.
You may enter as many mixes as you like and work with as many people as you like on each mix. You are free to create a second ThaSauce account for that if you use ThaSauce, it's needed to be able to upload a second remix if you use ThaSauce. Of course you can also upload it somewhere else and put a download link in this thread.
Do not make qualitative comments on an entry until the results of the vote have been posted in this thread.
Mixers cannot vote for themselves but if they vote they receive a free first place vote added onto their score.
The winner of this round will be the last winner of a PRC round. No next round will happen so there's no need to pick a source for next round.
 
You can find the full rules list at this page as well.
 
GOOD LUCK!

Ugh, it saddens me a lot to see this now all of a sudden. Honestly I'm having a rough time in both personal and creative stuff and felt very discouraged for any music projects, to the point that I once considered to abandon and right now I'm having a similar internal debate about that.

So I'm sorry I weren't any active in more PRC compos even when that was exactly my intention. In the other hand, I totally understand the lack of motivation of organizers to keep this thing alive seeing the lack of participation. Every month I have that feeling that whatever music I'm doing at the moment could be my latest work, and it's a really annoying and frustrating way to keep doing stuff, and I bet that's very much how people organizing this feels like too.

Anyways I hope to have something done exclusively for PRC during these 2 months. Good or bad stuff or whatever, just to have some fun and contribute with something more.

Wow, the last round.?? It's been an honor. If I remember I will be entering this one last time

One more for the road.

What a horrible night to have a curse...but fuck it.
Castlevania me up, sir.

Dammit, fine. I’m in for Team Metroid

Welcome back to Game Set Mash!!, a team-based, long-form competition format for the OC ReMix community!
Current Status
Game Set Mash!! 2 has come to a close with Team Metroid coming out on top! Congratulations to everyone who participated!
Scores
| Metroid | Caslevania | Round 1 | 6(sub) 6(won) | 6(sub) 0(won) | Round 2 | 6(sub) 4(won) | 6(sub) 2(won) | Round 3 | 6(sub) 3(won) | 6(sub) 3(won) | --------+---------------+---------------+ Total | 31 | 23 | How does the competition work?
Participating remixers will form 2 teams of at least 3 members each. Each team will be assigned a set of 3 games. The competition lasts 6-7 weeks, with 10-day mixing rounds alternating with 4-day voting periods. At the start of the mixing round, each team will choose and reveal 1 source tune from each of their 3 games. Each source will be paired with another source from the opposing team, for a total of 3 pairs. Each team will be responsible for writing 3 remixes for the week that combine (or mash) both source tunes in each pair. At the end of the mixing round, we'll upload the remixes and have a community vote. Voters will vote on the 3 remixes that did the best job of mashing the two source tunes together. Teams will accumulate a score based on how many of the community votes they win. In the next mixing round, we'll rotate which games get paired up with opposing games. What are the rules about teams?
I want to make things easy and accessible for people to participate, so there's no maximum on team size, but I will be asking people to do their best to even out the teams once we have all of our participants signed up. Unlike previous competitions I've run, there's no rules about who has to be a primary arranger for a track from week to week. Teams will be free to organize and determine how each of the three remixes gets covered. Using your teammates for collaboration and feedback is highly encouraged.
What are the games we're remixing?
The Metroid games are: Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Metroid Prime. The Castlevania games are: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. This seems like it'll take a long time, when does it start?
I'm aiming to gather interest here on the forums and in our Discord and I'd like to start in November, depending on if we can get some sizable teams. I would love to have around 6-7 people on each team to really get the spirit of collaboration going. I understand that the holiday season gets busy, so depending on interest levels, we could delay until January, but I'd love to get things rolling earlier.

“What is a[n OC ReMixer]? A miserable little pile of [sample libraries]. But enough talk; have at you!”
Team Castlevania represent!

“So… You like to play Castlevania?”
 Team Castlevania!

Absolutely loving the 70s/80s rock vibe... Reminds me of stuff from Saxon with a bit of Motörhead / Judas Priest up in there (and yep, defo Jethro Tull and others!!) The flute is gorgeous (got Pat Metheny vibes there for a bit), but this is a very well done and put together piece! I'm glad it got through and got the spotlight...and it managed despite the mad-dash rush Lucas talked about on the Discord and his write-up to get it in for the album.
Happy bday, my man! Good shit and looking forward to more from ya up on the feed. ♥

What a bday present, indeed!
...Just started listening to this...and I already have goosebumps, and it's only 10-15 seconds in...and it just...grows ever-more expansive and glorious from there. ♥ Your years of experience shows in spades, despite the contention with "mix issues", and I can see why people say "it's a feature, not a bug" in some aspects and respects. Nonetheless, this is beautifully done and written and you weave so many recognizable sources in seamlessly...and it feels without effort (even though I know there was a ton of effort in this bad boy.)
It's to a grand-scale of epic and an inspiration, and I'm glad Emunator vouched this one to be up on the feed, because we all would've missed out otherwise...
Happiest bday to you two, the fab twins! ? ? I look forward to hearing and seeing more of your stuff up on the feed and on NewGrounds mixposts. ♥ :3 And I truly hope most of us can aspire to create and get something this hype into annals of OCR history.
