HoboKa Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes) Round four: Chrono Cross: Another Termina Midi Starts: 17/11/2013 Ends: 28/11/2013 @ 2PM Vote Stage: Nov 28 to 30 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argle Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Awkward? What is this, 3/4? 6/8? And my last pick was a mind boggling 4/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esperado Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 well, 3/4 is awkward for me. I havent been able to successfully compose in 3/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 3/4 is lots of fun. I don't think it's that much harder than 4/4. 5/4 is actually not overly hard to do, and that is good fun as well. Everyone should try 3/4 and 5/4 at least once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 3/4 isn't that bad - personally not a fan of making beats in 3/4 though. It's a good track worth remixing though. But someone needs to break the Square streak at least once >:3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I've done a couple of remixes in 3/4, when the sources were in 4/4. I actually find it a lot of fun. Haven't tried 5/4, but then I never cared for Shakespeare either. (The poetry, anyway; the stories are good.) I fully intended to try to do this one because I expected to be out of the FFCC now, so hopefully next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esperado Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I tried to do something for this, but i might have to bail because i need to get my overclocked christmas entry done, and i dont have a single day off until the 6th, and its due on the 10th. I just cant manage to get a good soundscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
