Dang, I am digging this! Hey, didn't I end up picking a sonic song too around this time last year? ? I love this song's energy, maybe I shoulda gotten sonic unleashed after all. This is gonna be fun to mess with!

Dam that was quick! Not long after the last round went into voting.

lol it's seriously a fun game, and this isn't coming from a fanboy!

I just got a fun idea to mix another source along to this melody. If execution matches imagination, it'll be a triumph! Or at least amusing.

? Aww Thanks. It’s more complex than you think, but still a fun one to do.

Do love TVG making midis just for our little games. Hmm, dragons...

@TheVideoGamerI had a convenient half hour XD

You guys are far too fast for me to handle haha.

Got my vote in, nice lads.

I got something in at the last 30 minutes. Good luck all!

I'm the same, both sources are really good. But surprisingly might work in a key change or something.
Ideas are endless lol.

Coverage is justice. GO FOR IT!!!

To be fair, a lot of NES soundtracks used the triangle channel as a melody source, than a bassline, and that's kind of what made them sound so great.

I might try something...
Guardian Legend is tempting me more than the Granstream, Tactics Advance and Seymour rounds have done, combined...
So, maybe...but I'd want to do the sources an utmost justice. Dunno if I can pull it off, TBH.

I managed to finish my project enough to submit!

*Glances at headset's microphone* ? This is a professional piece of equipment, right?? I can just click "record" in FL studio and it'll magic my voice into the music, right? Can I even pronounce Japanese??? I may need to find a karaoke version...

If possible, can we sample the vocals?
I will break my computer if I sing

Got something in despite life, the universe, and everything. Good luck, all.

I'm so looking forward to these entries!

@Argle...I don't mean to sound stupid myself, or mean, but no way you can find another track to use or do? ?

Totally doable, just depends on how polished. I've admittedly never done this before, so I'm unsure of the usual standards. Some people asking to include songs on their album want the composition mixed but not mastered. Some want neither, and just it bare bones and in pieces...
I'm assuming this just warrants a full, completely mastered song, which I can do in 5 weeks. Both are practically done, I'm just looking for advice or critique on them to make them better (within my power, anyways, ATM.)
FWIW, I sent them in a DM because unsure if Coop wants them on the thread, ya know, spoilers and such. XD

Unfortunately I think I'm out, and for a colossally stupid reason: I have literally forgotten what source track I was going to remix.  I remember thinking it was a nice idea at the time, and then I didn't write it down anywhere and I can't remember it anymore lol.
