Rexy Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 The People's Remix Competition 130 PRCv5-26 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! And let me extend the welcome through to the fifth anniversary! I can't believe that the year that has passed has gone by so quickly - as the old saying goes, "time flies when having fun". So, let's recap what happened last year. It's been a slow start due to there being a string of "Chickenwarlord vs the World" segments up until PRC111, and by then we managed to see a lot more fluent new faces that establish the class of 2008 as we see today. I look at everyone around here and I have the full belief that they have contributed well to the contest over the past year, regardless of how many wins (or lack thereof) secured, how well certain PRCs have done in comparison to others, and the like. As you all know, PRC anniversaries tend to have a tenuous history of prizes that never happen (unless it was PRC52, when the prize indeed was a promised set of bragging rights). But not this year! Since this might be my last formal contribution to OverClocked ReMix, I will treat the winner to an OCR Hoody of a size of their choice! It's a win-win situation - the winner gets rewarded for their remixing efforts, and djpretzel gets more money to roll in. If the turnout gets high enough, I might even offer prizes for second and third place too, so I would love to see y'all get to mixin'! Before you do, let's look at the source tune. We're looking at a very popular franchise here, not to mention one of the staplemarks of the entire series and its exposure in the western world. It had recently been released on the Nintendo DS in remake form, provided a lot of revolutions in storytelling and mood setting for RPGs of this time, and rightfully has a place as one of the finest SNES titles ever made. The source tune from it is one of those surprising numbers that I swore could have been covered by now but actually wasn't - apparently taught as a music piece to Japanese school children, there is a lot of room for a wide range of different interpretations much like so many other themes of this genre, and so we might even see something welcome for this one. Do you want your game and tune? Look past the jump! Final Fantasy IV - Theme of Love MIDI | MP3 | SPC I'm really sure you can make not only myself proud, but the competition and all its past hosts proud too. Let's see the fifth year - and my run in hosting this thing - sizzle in a blaze of glory. Spread the word, work on the track, and let's make this one to remember! And now, for my last time... 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 THE TUESDAY AFTER THE NEXT - October 7th at 11:59am 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.

Lemonectric Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't enter, but I'll do my best to contribute to Rexy's last round. I have another three-day weekend, anyway. I will get to work on that advertising sig soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousemuffins Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I feel bad for not entering in a few PRCs, but since my schedule's leveled out and I'd love to wear an OCR hoodie, I'll see what I can do. Hope you can stay, Rexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Sig's done. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/sawdead/PRC130.png[/img*][/url*] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbeat Acolyte Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hmmmmmmm... Mebbe I gives it a shot =D So all that has to be done on behalf of the winner is give an address, yes? Not that the prize is the main reason I'm entering of course; if I manage to enter it'll be to pay homage to Rexy's excellent management and 5 years of PRC ^__^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I've already got about a minute of good stuff down, so I think it's safe to say I'll be entering something, whether or not I get it as long as I'd like. Huzzah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm sure I can come up with a filler-type thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm in - great song from a great soundtrack to a great game. It's rather special for me so I'll not miss this opportunity. And for the occassion too. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I really like the source. And I will contribute, since I have a extra long weekend next week. Let's get the songs in, to thank Rexy for the great time. Newcomers are encouraged as well to participate. Good luck to everyone with this nice source.

JH Sounds Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Well, I'm done. Hurray.This is like the one thing I don't procrastinate on. I was just about to add an electronic beat to mine until I heard your entry. I guess I'll leave mine ambient, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hey, nobody says your entry can't have anything in common with another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yeah, but I'm sure somebody said that variety is the spice of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbeat Acolyte Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Wow, 3 entries already! This is going to be a great overall turnout methinks ^__^ Beautiful source tune too =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theory of N Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I'm in probably won't submit it until close to the deadline though. I want it as good as I can get it... I need that hoodie lol. I'm a broke college student with only summer clothes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUp Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I've got a great idea on this, as long as I find a decent microfone to a reasonable price and have the time to do it. We Swedes needs all the clothes we can get, it'll soon be below 0°C here... Oh, and of course I'll do it for Rexy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nase Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Crap. This tune's been spoiled forever for me. http://olremix.org/remixes/719 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theory of N Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 haha, I'm not even going to listen to that until this PRC's over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 It's too late for me though; Nario already showed it to me last November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theory of N Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Submitted, for fear of missing the deadline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbeat Acolyte Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Erggh, I'm gonna have to work hard and fast to get something palatable in by the deadline... I mean, it's rather palatable but also quite plain and uninterpreted... I'll come up with some solution though, with any luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I also submitted, for fear of missing the deadline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've got half a mind to do a Palin-style mix, but I'm too lazy at the moment. I probably shouldn't displace the entry I already submitted, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbyt Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I really wish I would've found this site sooner~ Otherewise I'd be down for this. Although... 20 hours left is plenty of time. Hm, I guess I'll just sit this one out. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
