Bundeslang Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The People's Remix Competition 141 PRCv6-11 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! PRC140 is over, with two sources, one extension, three songs and five votes it wasn't the best round, but a round with a winner. Showroom Dummy received many first place votes and it was enough to win from Evktalo and Bundeslang. The OneUp-Thu family winning streak is over. The sources where Faxanadu's Land of Dwarfs and Star Control 2 Syreen Theme. Showroom Dummy was busy this week, but he send his source on time. He decided to pick a source from a game which was also remixed in PRC128, one of the last PRC's from Rexy. It's a Nintendo WII game from one of the most legendary Nintendo characters. Super Mario Galaxy (N.WII) - Stardust Road Theme MIDI Youtube MP3 ThaSauce link I know the game, and I remember the last round. In that round, three entries appeared: Hylian Lemon took victory with the maximum score, and Setokaibarocket was beaten by Evktalo with only one point difference. In that round, the Gateway theme was the source, chosen by (yes, it is) Showroom Dummy. Let's see how this round will be. 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.

Rexy Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 SPACE JUNK GALAXY!! Haha, by coincidence I had it as consideration for a PRC source tune a few times, but thought it wouldn't go down well due to the ambient scope of the source tune. Anyway, count me in for this contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Oh that makes me very happy! I don't know what you have in mind yet but I would love a piano remix of this song, and I know you are great at that! I want to post a bonus mix because I have some free time this week, I hope I can make it because this song is really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbeat Acolyte Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 *Goes to post mix, in a genre I expect few others thought of when hearing the source* Heh, this is like the earliest I've ever submitted a mix, but I was mesmerised through 2 long nights to work on it and finish it off, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I dunno about you, but Space Junk is pretty easy in comparison to some of the other galaxies in the game. Though I do admit, there were some tricky parts to some of the stars but nothing that would want to pull your hair out or anything (like it tended to do with that stupid daredevil comet star on Melty Molten... THAT is what I call insane!). Anyway, I'm doing ok so far - got about 90 seconds of stuff down. I'd probably need to brainstorm on what direction to take the rest of the submission while I'm at work today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUp Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 How much of the source is required? Almost done, but I can count the notes I used from the source on both of my hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 How much of the source is required? Almost done, but I can count the notes I used from the source on both of my hands There should be a little of the source in the song. It doesn't matter how much, but if I listen to the song I should think 'hey, this is a remix from Super Mario Galaxy's Stardust Road theme. If the song is 4 minutes long and it only has 30 seconds source it's OK, but if it's only 3 seconds, then not. Also: The deadline is extended with 7 hours because I have to work in the hours around the deadline was used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Started working on a drum track.. :> Beautiful source! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Whoa, I was almost pressured to finish off tonight as I might not be able to do so tomorrow (just got to record the piano part for it), but at least it gives me time to practice it some more. I'll be ready in time, honestly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I edited it wrong, I moved the starting from this round with 6 hours. Now it's fixed, the new deadline is Sunday 8 March, 11:00 AM ThaSauce time instead of 4:00 AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmr Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Just submitted my vote. I wrote a few comments for the other entries as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binweasel Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Maaan. I had something awesome planned, but no time to finish... Only just found time to review. Speaking of which, I believe when I said "permute" in my comment, I meant "pervade". Silly. Gonna try to get back into this after March.

Bundeslang Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Still 37 seconds left to vote. EDIT: It's already over. It's results time. Already in the first days people said that they gonna enter and they did. Setokaibarocket submitted his song very quick, but (like usual) the most submissions arrived in the last weekend. With a small extension, people used the extra time they have very well. In the voting stage, eight people voted. Five of them are non-participants. It makes the following result. Total number of mixes - 6 Total number of votes - 8 Highest possible score - 24 Setokaibarocket was the first, OneUp the last to submit his song. At the end, it doesn't matter because they both get a cheap last place wooden spoon with zero points. Evktalo voted and received several third place votes, enough to get 7 points and a fourth place. CN did a nice vocal song. Several people decided to give it points, his third place is worth 11 points. Jmr did a good song, he received 75% of the maximum score, ending with 18 points at second place. And PRC141's winner is Rexy with 21 points! Rexy's 'piano performance' was very good, it's the best song from this round. Jmr ends close and CN and Evktalo divided the other points. OneUp and Setokaibarocket, two guys who know how it feels to win a PRC, both have a bad round and ended with no points (next time better). Rexy, you may select the source tune for PRC142. Send it to me by PM before next Friday, 13 March at 11:59 am Eastern US Time. Be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUp Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Once again people are using this contest not to show originality or skill but to put their favourite genre (dance or trance or whatever rubbish "clubbing" music they come up with next) onto a good song and ruin it.The only two "normal" entries which take the song and run with it to produce something beautiful and original are my top two, with We Form In Star Bits being more technically impressive so it's on top. And I picked a random one with bad vocals for third because it didn't mention the word "trance" anywhere in the description. Once again people are using this contest to discourage musicians and stating that their favourite genre (piano ballads, orchestrations or whatever self proclaimed "1337" music they prefer) is the only worthy, and therefore ruins the contest. "Normal" is exactly what I don't want a remix to be. Rexy is really skilled and I want him in my closet so he could help me once in a while, but... that kind of music is kind of boring to me. Few surprises or experimenting, too mellow and nothing special to remember. Don't misunderstand, his remix were truly professional and beautiful, absolutely nothing I could've done, but not original at all IMO.

Bundeslang Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 My opinion is that it's good that people try to 'change' the music in their favorite genre, I don't agree with Gameboy at that point. I think the fact that OneUp and Setokaibarocket didn't get any points is not because it's not good that they try to make it a trance song. I even like those songs as well (trance is one of my favorite genres). In this round, I liked Rexy and Jmr's entries better. Next round, it can be different for sure (otherwise OneUp and Setokaibarocket didn't won 4 PRC's before). I don't think genre should be the reason why a song should get a first place vote or not. AND: No remixes ruin the song. Some people like the one, some like the other more, that's why some rounds are extremely close (like PRC139). There are even people who like my songs. Everyone is free to think what's his favorite song and that's why everyone is encouraged to vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUp Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Rexy is totally a girl. Oh, well that's another reason for keeping her in my closet Bundeslang: I agree with what you said, but I didn't make trance this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
