Bundeslang Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) The People's Remix Competition 282 PRCv11-22 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last round Gercr selected an Earthworm Jim 1 source, and 7 entries appeared. Sir Nuts and Grauw collected 17 points and tied for the win. This means that there are two sources this time. MushroomSword claimed the third place. Source 1: Hello Kevin, For the next PRC, I will take a page from my friend showroom dummy's book and pick Batman for the Gameboy, the Gotham City theme. http://vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/gameboy/Batman_-_Gotham_City.mid Source 2: Hey, Here’s my pick: Illusion Theme A from Illusion City (MSX, 1991) Video (1): http://youtu.be/Etqc9Si5Jyw Video (2): http://youtu.be/7o57QHj8stk MIDI (1): http://www.grauw.nl/etc/music/midi/illusioncitymidis_gm/illusiontheme1.mid MIDI (2): http://www.grauw.nl/etc/music/midi/illusioncitymidis_gm/illusiontheme1cadence.mid MIDI (3): http://www.vgmusic.com/music/computer/miscellaneous/msx/illusion.mid Note the first video is the best source, it is recorded straight from the hardware and brings out the details of the song much better. The second is emulated but I made it to show the intro demo along with the music. The first two MIDI files are also recorded straight from the source (the game has MIDI version of the music as well, the second is a small variation used later), the last one is an arrangement. Thanks for organising the compo , regards, Grauw Source 1: Batman (GB) - Stage 1: Gotham City MIDI 1 or check the Vgmusic link in the quote above. Game Wikipedia The game wikipedia from Batman seems to not exist, so I just link to a list of Batman games. Source 2: Illusion City (MSX) - Intro MIDI 1 or check the alternative MID's in the quote from Grauw. MIDI 2 MIDI 3 Youtube 1 or Youtube 2 Game Info I can only find a Dutch wikipedia page, but since most of you can't read that, I decided to post a Gamefaqs link instead.

Sir_NutS Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Seems like I forgot to include the link to the original. Midi never sounds quite like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So the goal this time is to select either source and remix it? Or do we have to create a mashup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm assuming it's the same as in previous rounds with several sources: you need to use either of the tracks, but you're an extra cool person if you combine them both. But that will not necessary earn you more points, unless a voter thinks it's a deciding factor for themselves. Cool sources both! Personally I have to slow down with all the music making though..

Exactly. Remixing one of the sources is enough, but remixing both in one song is encouraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yami Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Ok, I have a pretty good idea for the Illusion City theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercoolmike Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Sources were very interesting,but the illusion theme grabbed my attention way more and I ended up pulling a no-life on it and submitted my piece. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundeslang Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Sir Nuts did it again. His PRC242 song, Clear Reflections, which was voted first by unanimous decision in that round (source was Mirrors Edge introduction), is now an OC Remix. Great work!!

Jorito Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Heh, I started on the Illusion City track and am having too much fun with it Guess I should thank grauw for remixing this after all the years I had this track in my mind but somehow never got 'round to it!

Yami Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ok, great, now I have two ideas... One which is more upbeat/trancy and one calmer pseudo-film music like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grauw Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Mr. Meits, who composes his music in a unique set-up, made a nice video for his entry . http://youtu.be/yfCiFaUzV-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meits Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Mr. Meits, who composes his music in a unique set-up, made a nice video for his entry .http://youtu.be/yfCiFaUzV-E Hi... It turned out that there are two false notes in the original track... These seem to be masked by the choice of instruments... My headphones didn't really pick them up that clear, but my speakers did... Since I've already submitted the entry there's not that much I can do about it anymore, so I've peace with it... The way I "composed" this one was using a custom MIDI hack of a WAVE tracker for MSX'es Moonsound... Unfortunately this program still turns out to be unreliable concerning tempo stability (I had to do a little stretching in this one)... When I wanted to record a corrected version of the track with the false notes it ran totally out of sync... So I won't use this combo again... Ever... Pity I used it this time, hoping my onechipMSX would keep the speed balanced playing it on a higher clock frequency... I'm what you call an old school tracker... I started to use this tracked on its release in the early nineties and never had the urge to find a better tracker, especially not on pc... There are some ways to use my synthesizers with that tracker, but they're quite labor sensitive Have a good one with this compo... Looking forward to the other Illusion City entries...

Anorax Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Well, I'm finally getting back into the swing of things, but I've somehow convinced myself that this needs to be a vocal mix. Oh boy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Track submitted! Might upload an updated version with some mix improvements later, but it feels good to have it available already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorax Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 My DAW(g) ate my project! Frankly, I don't know how. I don't think I'll be getting anything in for this one, and I was really enjoying what I had so far! :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_NutS Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm just glad the last round was a tie. Given the interest in my source, I would certainly have killed PRC again XD. I might mix Illusion this weekend, if I get the time. It's a good source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm just glad the last round was a tie. Given the interest in my source, I would certainly have killed PRC again XD. Nothing wrong with your source, mate! I listened to it and quite liked it. It's just that i'm still an MSX user and dug the Illusion City track for ages without ever remixing it. So you can consider my track as catching up on a missed opportunity in stead of criticism on your source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yami Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm just glad the last round was a tie. Given the interest in my source, I would certainly have killed PRC again XD. I don't think you would have. Your source is great, but as soon as I heard the Illusion City tune it instantly clicked. BTW, I'm nearly done, I only need to mix and master it, which I'll do tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
