Bundeslang Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The People's Remix Competition 219 PRCv9-11 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last round was one of the best ones ever. Eight good songs and a very exciting voting stage. DjMokram claimed victory by beating Hoboka and Sir Nuts with only one and two points. He selected the source and has something special. This round's source is selected by DjMokram: Hey there,For this round, I thought we could do something different to spice things up. It's been a long time since a PRC was dedicated to arrange something specifically for an album. Well, the challenge for this round will be to arrange a song for the upcoming Gunstar Heroes album: Be Aggressive! The rules are simple: arrange the source in the most dynamic, intense and energetic way possible. In addition to selecting the source for the next PRC, the winner will have his/her track included on the album. Provided he/she brings the track (during the compo of after) to the standards of OCR albums, of course. So push your limits, be creative and Be Aggressive! The source is Black's theme, also known as Stage 4 Boss. Links: MIDI | Good luck everyone and have fun. Gunstar Heroes album: Be Aggressive! for more information about the album.

Dj Mokram Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Do I have an unfair advantage because I record thick heavy guitars?... Yep, bringing teh METLULZ out on this one Aside from possibly gaining the good graces of one director in particular, nope, no advantage at all. That said, watch your levels and make sure your entry is free from any clipping or audible artifacts. Holy hell I LOVED Gunstar Heroes! I am so in on this one! Definitely looking forward to what you'll come up with. Don't forget to bring the energy! Note to all contestants: the winner might be asked to further polish his/her track after the compo. Make sure you're cool with that possibility. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 YAAYUUHHH - btw...please don't me watch that Welcome to PRC video again q.q I'll participate I swear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 A few important notes: The winner of this round will not be decided by a voting stage, but the organization of the Gunstar Heroes album will select the winner. Because there's no voting stage, the deadline is extended to wednesday 30 May. Also, if anyone wants to use PRC for an upcoming album you can ask me, I'm open for it. There's no need to win a PRC round to do. Of course I don't want every PRC round to be an album special, but once in a while is fine.

HoboKa Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Arg, this source tune isn't really jiving with me - it's an awesome tune, but I can't really get any inspiration out for it. So unfortunately I'm gonna have to bow out of this one - best of luck to the rest of you remixer folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyificus Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm sad to say that I'm in the same situation as HoboKa. I've tried several different styles but nothing seems to sound right I'm going to keep trying but I can't guarentee I'll be able to make an entry.

Sir_NutS Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Guys, I have the same problem. Like Trism, I tried different styles but couldn't get this song to work, I tried like 3 different things and nothing. Really wanted to collaborate for the album but I guess it's not happening, I'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troyificus Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I think it's because it doesn't have a distinctive tune. The Parasite Eve tune had a very obvious hook to it, this one doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sggod89 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 It's quite a bummer to hear this from you guys, I was certainly looking forward to what you guys would come up with. I'm practically finished with my remix wooo I think it would be a cool idea, perhaps for a future contest, to have a random tag-team round. People sign up who want to participate, then they are randomly paired up to collaborate on a remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm practically finished with my remix wooo And here I was gonna post that this string of desists would make less competition for sggod89. ;P There's still 3 days left before the deadline, so I encourage people to give it a shot nonetheless. A challenging source can sometimes push you in directions you had never considered before. I think it would be a cool idea, perhaps for a future contest, to have a random tag-team round.

But the random pairing thing could indeed be a fun thing ...or a complete mess, depending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the random pairing thing could indeed be a fun thing ...or a complete mess, depending. It is a good idea, but if that happends, it's better to stop PRC and start a new remix contest. I also don't know there's enough interest for such a competition to organize every two weeks. In the beginning of such a contest there will be a good number of participants, but after a while probably less persons are interested and a minimum of four is required to have a contest. Looking at PRC, the average is 2/3 entries now. But it might be a good idea for an anniversary/special PRC. Three days left, I hope to see a good number of songs. Don't let DusK and Dj Mokram down.

Dj Mokram Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Can I just do a MIDI rip/sound upgrade then - if they need something desperately? lol Nobody is desperate for anything and Kevin is only doing his job as compo organizer, all while motivating the troops. Insinuating that we are somehow lowering ourselves or would accept midi-rips because we are desperate is just rude. Especially after we've clearly stated in the OP that the album is being made with the intent of submitting to OCR. We just wanted to bring a little spice and try something different for once, to see if people were up for a reasonable challenge. Obviously you're not and I understand that, it's okay. There will be plenty more PRC rounds for everyone to enter in the future. For now, all we want is for people to have fun while rising up to the challenge ...like in any other compo.

Woah now, didn't mean to offend anyone here - I was tired when I made the post and didn't really see the mistakenly rude tone there...or the "insinuation of lowering oneself bit."

Sir_NutS Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 so I gave it one last try in yet another different style and it was kinda working out but when I got to the 3/4 part it kinda fell apart, lol. This is a pretty difficult song to remix and my talent is pretty limiteed, but we'll see I' think I'm still up for the challenge. If this one fails tho, I think I'm gonna wait for the next PRC.

Sir_NutS, the man who gave us 'Welcome to the Metropolis' (plus others of course) having "pretty limited talent"?! I disagree most strongly!

Lol, yeah. Sir_NutS are you crazy? You make amazing music and everybody on OCR knows that. Please don't deprecate yourself like this. I agree though that the source isn't 'green hill zone easy' either. Norio Hanzawa is known for intricate/complex melodies and mastery of the FM synthesis. But like I said, give it a go. If you feel it isn't working for you, no biggie. Don't force yourself if you're not having fun with the source in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just pointing it out to avoid people thinking this round has to be different than others. So I'm with you 100% here: compos should always be first and foremost about having fun.
