HoboKa Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes) Round three: Final Fantasy X: Battle Theme Midi Starts: 4/11/2013 Ends: 14/11/2013 @ 2PM Vote Stage: Nov 14 to 16 Submit your remix Here when completed. MISSION STATEMENT The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. A modicum of originality is recommended, but not required. All competitors and voters must adhere to the rules stated within: Competition Code and Conduct * MnP Instructions 1. Slight alterations of the source are encouraged, but not required. 2. Covers and Sound Upgrades are permitted. 3. Stay relatively close to the source's mood and notation. Refer to the example tracks for reference. 4. Any genre is acceptable, so long as it doesn't affect point #3 too much. 5. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max). 6. Don't make any qualitative remarks about your submissions until after the voting stage. 7. When voting, please try to put enjoyability first, but consider production values as well. Example Tracks: FF7_RedXIII_Redux, EWJ_Wormaphobic Disorder, Source Terranigma_EnigmaOfABrokenSoul, FF7_SonOfChaos, SMW_Monstrous_Turtles, Hitman_Contract_Cleaner, MISC/TIPS - When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make ppl's lives easier. - Don't be afraid to collaborate - In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as you aren't going overboard with 'em - *Some* source tunes don't have drums or percussion for a reason. So keeping it that way may be the easiest way to retain much of the original feel, such as and Edited November 5, 2013 by HoboKa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Interest certainly piqued, I've definitely heard this theme a few times, there's a lot you could do with this.. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yami Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Oh... The only track from FFX I really like and it was an important tune for me a long time ago... Perhaps if I can manage to find some time, I might take it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Can I just post this theme's part from the Final Fantasy Ultimate Battle Medley? No sadly, it has to be made new for the competition round. Especially if people have already heard your battle medley remix BTW have you managed to log into ThaSauce yet?

That's actually not my theme; I'm just referencing this 40+ minute Final Fantasy medley that everyone should check out if they like FF's music. As for ThaSauce, I checked the FAQ and tried resending the mail, but nothing has worked so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, with me trying to get into the Bad Ass 3 album, a FF character battle in front of me and a lot of stuff to do to get my real life back together, I can't promise anything.

As for ThaSauce, I checked the FAQ and tried resending the mail, but nothing has worked so far. Okay, I'm gonna have to hop onto their IRC channel and get some1 to activate it. Oh...haven't seen/heard that medley before >< Well, with me trying to get into the Bad Ass 3 album, a FF character battle in front of me and a lot of stuff to do to get my real life back together, I can't promise anything.And I'm not afraid to die!!!! Yeah, I hear you. I'm working on a BA3 remix (Deathevan's theme), got OCR Christmas to do, potentially getting back into that DKC64 project (have 2 wips there, but I think only 1 of them is worth developing further). And I'm sure I'm forgetting some other obligation that I owe someone somewhere on OCR lol. But if you can get something done that'd be awesome ...I might even make a bonus mix for this compo myself, but no promises! EDIT oh yeah, I'm doing the FF Crystal Clash too lol Edited November 6, 2013 by HoboKa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapplingHook Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Well, this is going to be a very silly take, but I doubt I'm going to have the time to come up with anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rule's in place because I don't wish voters to develop a bias before even hearing the remix, unless it is intentional (i.e. troll remix) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapplingHook Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Whoop. Although silly isn't particularly descriptive, especially given that I haven't made enough things to have a "standard" style from which silly would deviate. Eh, I'll just shut up until after voting.

HoboKa Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Well 3 days to go and only 1 submission, albeit the FF crystal clash compo is definitely overshadowing this round, so it's sort of inevitable. I think I'll do up a quickie so that Chernabogue won't feel so lonely Don't let that be an excuse to sit back tho, if you have the time and inclination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 What the shit is the time signature for this?? It seems like triplets in 4/4, but then the "chorus" part gets completely out of sync with the grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I dunno, but I was totally planning on toying with time signatures for my take. But that's unlikely to happen (as far as this compo round goes). (: --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esperado Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 the time signature has been throwing me off. i really think this would make a good orchestral latin inspired trip hop track or something, but i just cant seem to get around that time signature and im out of time. So i think ill just wait till next round! good luck guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i think ill just wait till next round! good luck guys! Oy vey - that's too bad laddie. And yeah, it is tricky, but I have an uh...trick. Sometimes I just turn off mah snap-to-grid feature and just fiddle around with the note timing till it 'clicks' - so to me it's not 2 much of a biggie - especially when I have a midi to rip and I can use ghost channels. >:3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I'm having too much fun with this one...and guess what! There's nothing in the competition code of conduct saying that a runner can't compete >:3 Hmmm to be an arse and compete, or not...so tempting... Maybe I should've asked if that was alright with you guys before the last day of the competition *BAH* I can't. There's too many ways to break the compo cuz I can edit the point system at ThaSauce. But lemme tell you guys, I was tempted for about 120 seconds That and the lack of competitors for this round didn't help q.q Edited November 13, 2013 by HoboKa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
