Rexy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 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!

The People's Remix Competition 123 PRCv5-19 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last week's competition took us to some Sonic 3D Blast action, and in spite of a 24 hour extension, it was quite the active round with 4 entries to make a selection from. Once again you wanted to get me to choose the source tune for this round, and I believe I have something firm and ready for this one. We are looking at another series that made the jump to 3D this round. Yet, as Sonic failed to make an impression the first time around, this feisty Italian plumber struck gold with one of the greatest games to be released on the Nintendo 64. Yeah, I gave the clue away too soon...! Now, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see exactly how we are looking at a defining moment in gaming for a situation like this. To be honest, I am too; Koji Kondo has been a strong musical mind over the past few years, no doubt about it, and his material for Nintendo have been seen as defined classics regardless of the situation they were brought about for. The score for Mario 64 was no exception to the rule either - most of it did indeed play safe though as a huge majority of the tunes fitted most of the typical feels for the different settings throughout, but it worked out really well in the long run and was responsible for some of the more upfront tunes that came to be remixed on OCR today. The source material that is being towed in for this round is arguably the most known of the lot, if the music inside Peach's castle is taken out of the equation. It's pretty much got everything associatable with classic Mario written all over it - a catchy melodic line, the setting being happy as hell and there being enough to interpret for a wide number of different variations on this theme. I don't understand myself over why it hasn't even been remixed yet, because it was literally screaming "I want to get inside your head and leave you to whistle the tune all day long", or something. Super Mario 64 - Main Theme MIDI | MP3 | USF ( library) I have the understanding that "Portrait of a Plumber" is in the works right about now, but I still think there needs to be some kind of source coverage even if that falls through. Either way, it's a requestite for a Mario main theme to obtain a bunch of remixes for itself, lol. 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, June 28th at 4:59 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.

JH Sounds Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 For a moment I thought "Main Theme" was going to be the title theme, which is just an arrangement of Super Mario Bros. I automatically associate the Super Mario 64 track with the title "Bob-Omb Battlefield". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Well, that's what the OST named it anyway. The title track is just referred to as "Title Theme". How creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Ooh, sweet. I might even come up with something this week. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/sawdead/4e97a731.png[/img*][/url*] Like just64helpin, I tend to call this track Bob-omb Battlefield, but I've gotten used to seeing it called "main theme". What I hate is when people try to get all creative with naming songs and you have to guess what they are. Most of the time they could be more easily identified by just using character/area names from the game. Edit: Ok, I have 45 seconds down and I actually like it, so that's a good sign. I'm going to try to do a story mix like I used to; people liked that. XD I haven't participated for 9 rounds, so hopefully I'll finish this. I was hoping to enter the Kirby 64 round, but I just wasn't feeling my remix. I'm willing to bet we'll have the results by Tuesday (an extension for Super Mario 64? I should hope not). I'll be leaving for a week starting that day, so I'll be gone for the beginning of the next round. If anyone else wants to put together an advertising sig, it'll be up to them (although if I end up finishing my entry and winning, I'll probably just make Rexy post something I've prepared). It would be nice if someone could make the vgmix topic, but it's not like I can force you or anything. All you do is put Rexy's post in a big quote and change all the font sizes because vgmix uses massive numbers. Edit2: Actually, I'm probably leaving on Monday. And what the hell? Don't tell me I'm the only one entering here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUp Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm in! This seemed to suit a hardstyle remix quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have something, but I'm not sure if I'll be well enough to finish it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Ah, good, I'm not the only one after all. XD My entry is coming along nicely. Just passed the 2-minute mark, and I believe I've taken a somewhat unique approach. And you'll get an amazing piece of literature to go along with the mix, too! Eep, are you sick, just64? Hope you feel better! And not just because we need the competition, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Eep, are you sick, just64? Hope you feel better! And not just because we need the competition, lol. Just a little ear congestion and a sore throat, plus a sprained wrist. I should be fine... eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonectric Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Well, we have our first entry, fresh out of the oven! Of course, I have been baking it bit by bit throughout the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I think I'll just salvage what I have and make a minimal piano piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 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.

NeoS Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Want my 'shamelessly-midi-ripped-but-still-very-cool-remix' here? I just pimped the synths a bit and added some percussion (read: 4/4 stuff) It doesn't have to be in the compo, I just wanted to hear what it would be like to have Mario trippin'. So if any of you would like to hear it, let me know and i'll post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexy Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoS Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 That's ok. I didn't intend on actually competing. I just felt i'd share this. At least it's not a half-bad midi-rip, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 DID SOMEONE SAY MIDI-RIP? I am so there. Working on a short entry soon. Edit: So, this entry proves that I can neither improvise nor play the piano in real life. I should stick to just laying every note down in Garageband.

JH Sounds Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Wait.... "legible"? Do you mean eligible, or am I missing something awesome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUp Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Nooo... Due to a Beer-in-the-Laptop-problem, I couldn't upload my song in time. Here it is though: http://oneup.mygabriel.org/OneUp_-_Hardstyle_Plumbing.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 OneUp, that is some trippy stuff right there. I approve. XD Also, yes, it should be "eligible" and "ineligible." Otherwise we're saying the remixes are able/unable to be read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Blame it on Kamoh, I guess - I think that's how he used to label such tracks. ^^; I'll fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
