Bundeslang Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The People's Remix Competition 189 PRCv8-07 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Chickenwarlord wins PRC188. His song was the best and gets first place. He selected the source for PRC189. Mario Kart (Wii) - Koopa Cape So the source is (not for the first time) Mario Kart. Last two Mario Kart PRC's had Bowser's Castle as source tune (both selected by me). Now it's time for a different Mario Kart tune. ThaSauce link: Click here to submit MID File GOOD LUCK! 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 (only as Bonus Mixes). Entries must be posted in the ThaSauce link by FRIDAY FEBRUARY 25th at 10:59 am ThaSauce time (Check my signature (below) or the ThaSauce page for the exact time left. You may enter as many mixes as you like and work with as many people as you like on each mix. You are free to create a second ThaSauce account for that, it's needed to be able to upload a second remix. You can post it in the thread if that doesn't work. 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 winners of PRC188, Chickenwarlord, can't take part, but his vote counts twice. He's also allowed to submit a bonus mix. Doulifee's PRC Archives! For information about the previous contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 My signature seems to be broken. 10:59 AM ThaSauce is the same as 19:59 (=7:59 PM) in the Netherlands, 6:59 PM GMT time (for those who want to now what 'ThaSauce time is'). If my signature is up again you can just look at my signature to see how much time is left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 One day left. If nothing happends, I might extend the deadline with a week and make this a monthly contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sggod89 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I tried to make an attempt at this one, but I couldn't find my groove and hated everything I made.. I'm keeping my eye out for the next on tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Because all the PRC's this year's edition, except 184, only had one song and before that, most PRC's only had two songs after an extention I decided to change the contest a little. I'm not making it a monthly contest yet, but I make it longer as now. Now, PRC's start at Friday and the deadline is monday / tuesday one week after that (so you have around 10/11 days to remix). From now on, you have two weeks to remix. So the deadline is Friday two weeks after the contest start. When no extention is needed, voting takes five days and ends on tuesday. The winner gets three days to send his source, so a PRC now takes three weeks instead of two. Hopefully this makes it possible for more remixers to submit something, because this year most times entering was enough to win the PRC. This round is extended to next Friday, 25-02-2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hopefully having more time will mean more entries in the long run. I'm sorry to have chosen a hard source to work with. I certainly hope that PrC will go back to having at least 3 entries every competition after this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hmmm... Maybe tonight I can come up with something for this one. Hopefully someone else will join me...? That's a big maybe, though - this is a pretty strange source. EDIT: Ack, not happening. Got back too late, leave too early in the morn'. Sorry, guys.

Obtuse Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 So I'm a day late and a dollar short... but here's something I made in a few hours this afternoon. Feedback is appreciated. It is definitely a challenging source. It is difficult to not make it over repetitive. http://www.obtusemusic.net/obtuse/Music/Wii-Mario Kart-Koopa Cape Remix.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Lol I accidentally started an entry because I didn't notice Bundeslang's signature said VOTING. Well, I'm going to mix it with the Mario Party 1 title theme to use it for my friend's birthday present. This is one of those situations where I work on a song, sleep on it, and then come back in the morning to find out that IT ACTUALLY STILL SOUNDS LIKE HOW IT DID WHEN I MADE IT. Can't waste a solid foundation. (I guess I'll post it here when it's done or something) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 I forgot that friday was the deadline, I thought I've set it to the 28th. You can still submit, new deadline is monday 28-02 (Entries posted in this thread also count). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Here's the song I mixed in, for anyone unfamiliar with Mario Party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtuse Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hylian Lemon, I dig your track. So much more creative than mine. I took a really conservative approach. what is your thought process when you mess around with a melody and remix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Well, I don't like to do the same thing twice. Every time I come back to a melody, I think about what I can do differently. Anything from extra little flourishes to different harmonies to completely different time signatures. Generally, as long as the arrangement is always changing, it'll be automatically drifting away from conservatism. Sometimes it's just the result of random experimentation. I tend to copy and paste more stuff when I'm dealing with a short deadline like this, but I still try to make some small alterations to keep things fresh.

Bundeslang Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 It's results time. The votes are in. Total number of mixes - 2 Total number of votes - 3 Maximum Score - 9. Obtuse submitted something after the deadline, but because I extended it, it was in. Still he gets the last place wooden spoon with 6 points. And the winner of PRC189 is Hylian Lemon with 9 points! Congratulations Hylian Lemon. You may select the next source, for PRC190. That round will be longer as usual, the remix period is extended with four days and voting also has a few extra days. Send your source to me (with a MID/MP3 file if you can) by PM, other options are PM me @ ThaSauce or by e-mailing to bambombim@gmail.com (I prefer PM @Ocremix) You may select any source from any game, as long as it doesn't have an Overclocked Remix and it hasn't been on PRC before. Check it at the list: http://sites.google.com/site/bambombim/prc http://bambombim.googlepages.com/PRCRemixList.doc (also downloadable via the link above).
