Rexy

Yeah, I freakin' blame Kamoh for using weird terms like that. It's fixed anyhow.

It's understandable with old PC tracks - MIDI was primarily a standard. >.> That will be just fine, but please keep your plans sealed - at this stage, you're not out of the woods just yet. Someone else submitted an entry, luckily enough, and we have a competition! Now, it's time we got through to the voting stage. You visit the compo page, listen to the entries (and illegible if you want), and choose your preferences through the voting form at the bottom. Contestants don't need to vote as it won't make an effect on the final score. The winner of PRC125 was me, so you'd better have done enough to win me over. You have until Thursday, August 14th at 11:59am EST to make your vote. The winner will get to choose the source material for PRC127! Elegibles Chickenwarlord - Droll Stroll setokaibarocket - Reverse N-Gineering Ineligible Rexy - With Real Citrus Flavor

And at this rate, we will need another one. Be wary now - if no one else submits an entry before this time tomorrow, then Setokaibarocket will win by default.

Isn't ORC Doulifée's job anyway? I'm sure that once you think of a name, then you can just keep on promoting what you're doing as your own little personal project. Mind, concerning the source choice, the biggest problem I had when looking around for this week's source tune was seeing something that had enough melodic content as well as the accompanimental coherency behind it. Crash 1's soundtrack did well for its more ambient backdrops, and I agree with that, but my big irk with that was that I could only seem to relate with very few of the tracks when it comes to making a remixing decision, and even at that they aren't necessarily seen as some of the best options in general. But at the very least, PRC promotion is very much unpredictable at the moment. You can have the stupidest source tune ever (PRC52 - Tecmo Super Bowl) and yet have a good number of entries involved. You can have something very approachable at the same time (PRC109, I think - Lemmings SNES title) but yet it would struggle to gain a mass response. Heck, I thought that the Tales of Symphonia PRC would similarly be quiet as the source tune itself seemed a little short and unremarkable; yet, the mass amount of entries was a great surprise. I think it all comes down to how they personally feel over certain tracks. Whichever, I contributed a bonus entry, and if I and Seto can forge something, so can you. At any token, we're at least at the guaranteed stage that someone will at least win this PRC, and that's good enough for me.

I blame Cakewalk templates for that, lol. I'll look into it in the future - cheers OneUp!

No one knows, not even anyone in the Crash community. The entire name was meant to be a play on "engine", which given N. Gin's appearance and mechanical specialty, sounds very appropriate.

The People's Remix Competition 126 PRCv5-22 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last contest's Rayman theme set up a lot of promise for a fun and happy theme, but it merely resulted in four entries. And amidst the batch, the voters made me take the win once more after experimenting in a 7/4 interpretation of some description. My choice for this competition was hard as I feel that that could have been my last win as the PRC host. So for this one, I would like to go back to memory lane. Was anyone around for PRC48, when I collabed with Prophecy, won together and picked a source tune from some kind of upbeat PS2 platformer? Well, history will repeat itself with this coming competition - sticking with that very same game series, but looking near the beginning of its run. Since I first registered at OCRemix, I've been wanting to raise the awareness of the Crash Bandicoot franchise and hope to see that it could get the exposure it needed along with most of its other fellow successful PS1 titles. Even though to date there hasn't been a Crash mix posted on the OCR main page yet, I am still very happy that I managed to do my part in at least granting it some exposure through some of my own arrangements at VGMix 2, Remix ThaSauce and at the Dwelling of Duels on occasion. I went for the second game in the series, primarily because it stands as one of my favorite PS1 games and a major influence on my videogame playing progression in my preteen years. The levels were challenging without either being too frustrating or requiring too many gimmicks, the art style was a breath of fresh air at that moment in time, the bosses are among some of the more creative, and even so I feel this also hosts one of the better soundtracks that the original composers at Mutato Muzika put together. Narrowing down the source tune was a very hard task for me, but in the end I ended up looking towards a combination of popularity in the requests forums and the remixability. The boss theme I ended up picking here is well structured and can have some interesting melodic parts to end up interpreting in more ways than one. Plus, who can't resist chucking all the fruit you collected in the game so far towards a giant hovering mech controlled by a half-man half-cyborg scientist? And in case you didn't know, the boss in question has a notoriously short temper. Rub this PRC the wrong way, and you might become barbecue meat by this time next week. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back - N. Gin Boss MIDI | MP3 I swear, that must have been one of my hardest PRC decisions to date. But I hope it all pays off. I'll see if I can stimulate interest with a bonus entry too - if I can manage it, so can you GOOD LUCK!

Alright, I'm here on time to provide the results! Now, out of the whole batch of you, who made their way ahead to the Blue Mountains? Who took a wrong turn and ended up at Mr Sax's Hullabaloo? And who got stumped by the spiked quavers anyway? Total number of mixes - 4 Total number of votes - 8 Highest possible score - 24 Chickenwarlord is bequeathed another last place wooden spoon with 9 points. mousemuffins made a squeaking start into third place with 11 points. munchi strutted as far as second place with 18 points. And the winner of PRC125 is Rexy with 22 points! ... ...you what? I have to pick a PRC source tune on my birthday? I thought I escaped that last year! Nonetheless, I'll settle down with a few choices and take a look at some appropriate selections for PRC126. I have a basic idea on the videogame system to go for at least. With that over, the Great Protoon is back in its place, and Rayman's world is at peace. I'll see you all tomorrow for the next compo.

Hah, I was here for five alright but had to face a cruel interruption of a long chat with mother. But oh well... The mixing stage is over. The voting stage has begun! To cast your vote, please visit the ThaSauce link and listen in to the four entries. Then once done, you scroll down to the voting form at the bottom of the page. Select three entries and rank them from first to third with a reasoning attached. Contestants are encouraged to vote as they will automatically get three points added to their score. The vote for PRC124's winner (Flexstyle) is doubled, so make sure you've done enough to impress him too. You have until Thursday, July 31st at 11:59AM to make your vote. The winner will get to choose the source tune for PRC126! Chickenwarlord - Angel Land mousemuffins - Stretched Taut munchi - Jazz Band Isle Rexy - Ode to the Great Protoon

4.95 translates to 5069KB, so you're in the clear. I really hope you participate in this - newbies are a real breath of fresh air here

How big's the file in KB? That could also serve as a contributing factor as to why it didn't get hosted. If it's below 6000, then you can keep trying. If you're still having issues in a few hours' time, then I would suggest you host the file elsewhere and get someone else to upload the file. I'll change the name records accordingly.

Whichever happens, at the end of it all we still got two entries. This still isn't enough for a voting spree yet, so we're going to have to extend this for a final set of 24 hours. Anyone competing, rushing for an entry and yet feeling as if they failed to do so, now's your chance to polish up your entry before this time tomorrow.

You can't host it on Tindeck - it must be hosted at ThaSauce. The voting system is programmed that way.

Well, 24 hours of extra time has been added on anyway. Will this stimulate anyone?

Not necessarily. Remember, I can still extend the competition deadline by a maximum of 48 hours. So if by the deadline tomorrow there is still not much activity, the first 24-hour extension might be the case. And it stimulated many a PRC in the recent past.

The People's Remix Competition 125 PRCv5-21 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last compo's Golden Sun theme saw a very hefty turnout - a grand total of SEVEN entries came to seek domination amidst the Venus Lighthouse. It housed quite a fair amount of trance, and amidst the competition Flexstyle pulled through with his first win with his own genre-adaptation of the source tune. The only connections between said GBA RPG and the source game for PRC125 is that they're both dependant on 2D sprites and have both existed in some form or other on Nintendo's purple handheld. This is all the more appropriate for this franchise coming as pretty much everything about the titular character is completely disconnected. We're looking at the first outing for the most famous videogame icon to spawn from France! Rayman - Band Land BGM 1 MIDI | MP3 First things first - since I'm now undertaking work experience, the deadlines for the mixing and voting stages are later than the usual. Now that that's out of the way... hell yes, Rayman rocks, yadda yada and so on and so forth. GOOD LUCK!

Wait your turn, Bundeslang Alright, the voting stage is over and now we shall announce the results. I'm too tired from my new job placement - not to mention getting involved with Nintendo's E3 conference - to consider coming up with something witty this time, so I'll just say who did it and who didn't? Total number of mixes - 7 Total number of votes - 10 Highest possible score - 30 just64helpin obtains his first ever last place wooden spoon with 3 points. Binweasel and hoboka group together for a joint 5th place with 6 points each. setokaibarocket kangaroo-jumped over to fourth place with 8 points. NeoS stretched a seven-minute epic as far as third place with 15 points. Showroom Dummy 1337'd his way to second place with 16 points. And the winner of PRC124 is FlexStyle with 18 points! It was a close fight for this contest, and at the end of it all it all went down to a first win from you, so well done. Since this is your first time choosing the next source tune, I'll fill you in on what you should select. It must be a source tune that has not been covered before here at OC Remix - this opens up the scope from uncovered songs in known games (FF6 Gogo) to songs from games with no coverage whatsoever (pretty much the entire Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles score), though songs not on the main site but have been previously approched in site projects (FF7 Shinra Company) are still game. I'll be happy to see you all on Friday for PRC125

Ahhh, you voted without me!! Ahem... the mixing stage is over! I'm sorry for the wait - had to be dragged to a last minute shopping trip this morning. It's time we got down to the voting stage, so here's what we're going to do. You will visit the ThaSauce page and make a vote on the bottom of the form. Out of the seven mixes submitted, you choose three and order them from first to third with a reasoning attached. Contestants are encouraged to vote as they will automatically get three points added to their total. The winner of the previous contest (Hylian Lemon) has a vote that will count twice. You have until Tuesday, July 15th at 4:59AM EDT to make your vote (and due to me finally starting a job placement, the results may not show up until approximately noon the same day). The winner will get to choose the source material for PRC125! Binweasel - Countless Screaming Argonauts Flexstyle - Venusian Trance hoboka - Light Up My House just64helpin - Wrong Lighthouse NeoS - Venus Caelestis setokaibarocket - Rosicrucian Sanctum Showroom Dummy - N30-15H74R-73RR4

Last time we were here, the source material went in the direction of one famous plumber's highly-acclaimed twist to 3D - Super Mario 64. It's a shame that the turnout can't be similarly described, but amidst the entries, Hylian Lemon came through with a fun arrangement campaigning against Goomba abuse (!) and scoring another win under his belt. Ben can't be with us to see PRC124 make its appearance, but he did send the source in the event that he would have succeeded in the previous round. Whichever is the case, we are casting our minds towards an awesome series of RPGs from the minds of Camelot. Nope, it's not Shining Force, but the huge acclaim this Game Boy Advance title received made it fare even better. Anyone up for psyenergy and an alchemic battle system? Golden Sun - Venus Lighthouse MIDI | MP3 | USF ( library) Similarly, I never got the chance to play it properly either, though I do remember rushing all around the local game markets looking for a copy at the time of the sequel's release.

Talking of which, it's over. Sorry about the wait - had a work placement interview earlier today. Now, it's time for the results. I'm curious to know who gathered the most power stars and defeated Bowser in the process, and who actually stumbled at the first goomba present...! Total number of mixes - 3 Total number of votes - 5 Highest possible score - 15 This is a rarity for PRC - every single vote has been unanimous, right down to the decision for last place. So, let's see what came out of it Chickenwarlord swagged yet another last place wooden spoon with 7 points. just64helpin piano-slammed over to second place with 10 points. And the winner of PRC123 is Hylian Lemon with 15 points! So, that's another PRC done and dusted. Ben can't be with us to ravel in his own victory, or be present for the next contest for that matter, but he did send a source tune in the event that this would happen. We should be good for PRC124 already. I'll meet you on Friday - same peoples' time, same peoples' channel.

I know you're new, but no qualititive commentary until AFTER the voting stage is over!

Blame it on Kamoh, I guess - I think that's how he used to label such tracks. ^^; I'll fix it.

Okay, NOW the mixing stage is over. The entries have been verified and I think we're in for some competition. So, all you have to do now is contribute to the voting phase. To do so, you will visit the ThaSauce link, listen to the three legibles and use the form at the bottom of the screen to order them from first to third. Contestants shouldn't vote for themselves but they will automatically get three points when they vote. Since I won PRC122, my vote counts twice, so I hope you've done enough to gain my persuasion. You have until Wednesday, July 2nd at 4:59AM EST to cast your vote. The winner gets to choose the source tune for PRC124! Eligibles Chickenwarlord - Wasted Effort Hylian Lemon - Life of a Goomba just64helpin - Monsters Don't Hurt Mario Ineliegible NeoS - ZOMG! Shrooms!

As fun as your submission was, all it was was a straight conversion with altered sounds, a tempo increase and crazy beatwork. I'm sorry, but the mix doesn't qualify. But at least it was very uplifting for this time of night

Even though there theoretically is 90 minutes to go, I think I should already grant a time extension. Two entries is looking good, but not exactly healthy for the state of the competition. I don't usually grant the extensions out until a couple of hours later til now, but since I'll be on a shopping trip for most of the morning I don't think I'll have time to manage it later. PRC needs YOU. If you don't make mixes, then God kills a Cataquack.
