You could have brought it up prior to the deadline, so I'm sorry - entries are closed. Concerning Nario's track, I'll try and at least host it on Doulifee's webspace and list it on the PRC webspace there at least when I get around to it. Bonus entries are bonus entries Now, I know I'm 5 hours late but let's plow on with the voting stage. You have three entries to make your vote from, so head on over to the ThaSauce page and listen to them. Once done, use the voting form at the bottom of the screen, place them from first to third and state your reasoning. Contestants are encouraged to vote as they will automatically get three points added to their score. The vote of the winner of PRC127 (Binweasel) counts twice. You have until Tuesday, September 9th at 11:59AM EDT to cast your vote. The winner gets to choose the source material for PRC129! evktalo - Cosmic Plumber Hylian Lemon - Dream Drifting setokaibarocket - Shroom Trip

The People's Remix Competition 128 PRCv5-24 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last compo paid host to the second source selection from setokaibarocket, and the second Fire Emblem based round this season. The short source tune invited quite a few participants, and it was a widely-crafted composition effort from Binweasel that after striving hard for the past few rounds has finally achieved his first PRC win. I'm getting the feeling that Nintendo games, first party or otherwise, have been part of a good luck omen for PRC participation over the past few months. So it's by no surprise that for this competition - our second based on the Wii - we are looking at one of 2007's best selling titles and a return to platforming goodness from everyone's favourite Italian plumber. Yep, you've guessed it...! Super Mario Galaxy - To the Gateway MIDI | MP3 Binweasel sent the track acknowledging its name to be "Chasing Starbunnies" or something; I'd just went by what it said on the actual OST release, if that's ok with him. But anyway, let's move ahead from the chit-chat and get to mixin'. GOOD LUCK! Fine Print: PRC instructions If you happen to be mixing this song already, start over in the interests of fairness. Limitations at ThaSauce require your entry to be 6MB or less in size. Length for length's sake and MIDI rips are not allowed. Entries must be posted in the ThaSauce link by NEXT SATURDAY, September 6th at 11:59 am Eastern US Time. You may enter as many mixes as you like and work with as many people as you like on each mix. Do not make qualitative comments on an entry until the results of the vote have been posted. Mixers cannot vote for themselves but if they vote they recieve a free first place vote added onto their score. The winner of the previous contest can't take part but their vote will be doubled.

I'm not implying at all - it's an easy way of trying to explain what to opt for in a PRC sourcetune to first-time winners. I generally rotate it around the selection of franchises that ended up with a site project to their names. Anyway, Binweasel has sent his submission to me. It's not Kirby, but it's still damn good. I'll meet you tomorrow for PRC128!

Yep, you just need to PM/email the source tune to me and I'll take it from there.

Actually, you'll be surprised over the votes. I forgot to apply the bonuses from the voters and the previous competition winner, and with that in account, I'm actually ready to provide the results. So, here we go. Quite a better turnout from last time... now why couldn't you do this for PRC126? >.> Total number of votes - 8 Total number of mixes - 4 Highest possible score - 24 bundeslang is left to go home with a last place wooden spoon worth 10 points. Tevin-Illithane wasn't far off with third place, scoring 11 points. Xenon Odyssey jumped the gun and tripped through to second place with 19 points. And the winner of PRC127 is Binweasel with 20 points! Sorry Bobby, but you just lost out. Binweasel, congratulations on your first PRC win! I knew I thought I'd see something come around after what you provided with the Robowarrior PRC, and to see you provide something developed from such a short source tune shows that you might become a promising asset yet. So, it's up to you to pick PRC128's source tune. Remember the core rule - the song must be one that hasn't been covered on OCR before. So, it can mean a tune from a popular game (Kirby's Dream Land - Float Islands) or a tune from something that has otherwise been undercovered (most of the Kirby 64 soundtrack), though songs previously heard through site projects (Kirby's Adventure - Butter Building) still count. I'm excited to hear from you. I'll meet you on Friday for PRC128. If you're not there, then you'd better have a good explanation for it.

... I KNEW I did something wrong with the tags again. Concerning that I was born in the North of England, my English is surprisingly crappy. o_o()

Not to be nasty or anything, but you SHOULD have taken part. I swear, if I ever partake in a PRC in the future, I won't rest until I actually give *justice* to the Crash series. Stupid two participants... stupid two voters too... Trying to shove it aside, the mixing stage is over. The voting stage has begun! Go to the ThaSauce link, pick three entries out of the legibles and order them from first to third with a reasoning attached. Contestants are encouraged to vote as they will automatically gain 3 points upon doing so. Make sure you have impressed setokaibarocket, as his vote will count twice for this round. You have until Tuesday, August 26th at 11:59am EDT to cast your vote. The winner will get to choose the source material for PRC128! Eligibles Binweasel - Steel on the Skyline bundeslang - The Heat is Off Tevin Illithane - Solemn Oath Xenon Odyssey - Gangsta Knight Inelligible Siamey - being for the benefit of mr Knight

Yes, thank you. My wireless connection was terrible last night (hence the delay of getting the compo thread up to begin with) so I didn't have time to check the code or anything o_O

Nah, this won't at all forge an earlier retirement than the usual. I just feel really disappointed as a Crash fan more than as a PRC host; it's a weird connecting factor, since outside Sonic and Donkey Kong Country, I've literally forced myself to see into everyone else's childhood listening to what's on the site. Is this an understanding over how put down I feel?

The People's Remix Competition 127 PRCv5-23 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Do I have to start with recapping the previous contest every single week? Seriously - from this point on, PRC126 will strike me painfully in the back of my neck for weeks to come, most notably because of its poor turnout both on the mixing AND voting fronts, not to mention having a strong heart concerning the Crash Bandicoot series. I'm pretty sure I won't see Mutato Muzika in the same way for a long time thanks to this. But with that out of the way, setokaibarocket took the win, and anyone who ends up incorporating as many Windows references as possible in the space of just over two minutes gets massive props for otherwise lightening a grim situation. Assumably these events have also resulted in him facing a change of plan from his original PC game choice. Much like I revisited the past, seto decided to revisit his by picking a source from the exact same series as what he picked for PRC114. But will his choice of this certain Nintendo RPG brand be a lot more successful than mine? Fire Emblem (Rekka No Ken) - A Knight's Oath MIDI | MP3 Thinking of it this way, Nintendo-based products were complete winners during the middle of the PRC season, so we might be onto something with this one. I see plenty of room for multiple adaptations on this one, but what would you think about it? Either way... GOOD LUCK!

... Do I need to start the closing thread already? My confidence has hit rock bottom, and you very well know why. Total number of mixes - 2 Total number of votes - 2 Highest possible score - 4 What does this tell me? Well, this tells me that this is actually the LEAST POPULAR PRC for quite some time, and this has actually really thrown back my confidence not only as a host but also for the hopes of seeing some further Crash loving in the videogame remixing scene. The bottom line is the so-called "difficult decision" certainly didn't pay off, and people find Crash "too inaccessible" to consider offering some kind of love to. I'm disappointed with this. But moving on... The winner by an unanimous decision is setokaibarocket with 4 points! It's been prophesized from the start apparently, lol. Seto, please make sure that you send the source tune in well ahead of time so that we don't have to painstakingly wait for you like with the Fire Emblem PRC. I'll be there tomorrow for the next PRC, and hopefully I'd be in a better mood by then and all -.-

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?

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!

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?
