PRC208 - 8th Anniversary (Free Round)

[alfredofreak]

Hmm. FL Studio is telling me I spent 14.5 hours on this. One of these days, I'll speed up my process. Oh well!

My remix has been submitted as well. *whips out an umbrella for the inevitable rotten veggie onslaught*

[Eino Keskitalo]

Three submissions, excellent. I just began mine, I hope I can work on it some more before submitting.

I often forget about this compo just out of being busy. But there is one place where it would be easy to see a reminder about this compo : facebook. Make a facebook page, I'd join it, send out a message about the newest competition, then I would be reminded, oh there's a competition going on.

It doesn't solve the problem of really obscure music being chosen however. Sometimes the song selected by someone is just something I'm not interested in.

Four songs, really nice and still two days left!!

After this round, PRC starts with PRC209 in the usual style. The winner of this round may select the source. One important change, a MID of the source must be included.

The winner also may select a source without a MID file. But in that case, he or she must select a second source with a MID file, because rounds without a MID are almost always rounds with <2 songs. In that case, remixing the source without a MID will be awarded with one bonus point.

I hope this small change brings many good rounds. After the voting stage of this rounds, which will end Tuesday 27nd of December, the winner has a maximum of three days to select the source so the next rounds starts after voting as soon as possible, but before Friday.

I might do something with Facebook as well, I'm not sure about that.

Bingo! Aside from school and life getting in the way, I only participate if there is a MIDI simply because I don't have a musical ear capable of picking out all of the notes.

Like Obtuse mentioned, there will still be times where the source just doesn't interest enough people. However, I definitely think having MIDI files required will make that less likely to happen.

I only participate if there is a MIDI

Forcing people to provide a MID file will instantly reduce the game list to titles popular enough to have been covered on sites like VGmusic.com.

Obscure games coverage will most likely suffer from this choice, but paradoxically this might also solve the problem of attendance.

We'll just have to hope for the best and see how it goes.
