Esperado Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So with magfest coming up, Im curious if the dracula bracket will be two weeks like the rest of the rounds. Im not exactly sure how much remixing im gonna do at magfest, but if its only a week, then ill have to bring a laptop with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Heh, me and WarMachine are still quite equally matched. It's gonna be exciting till the last moment I guess. I do hope we end up with an odd number of votes so we don't have a tie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to MAG with the assumption that we have a small disadvantage if we go. I am thinking about arrangement ideas with my own source anyways in a spreadsheet, so I can get it down quickly when things start up, and worry about the other sources when they are announced. Edit: Thanks Mindwanderer for the critique on my song, I will definitely work to blend the sources more for the next round if that is what the goal of the compo is.

Gario Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I had to work on some project stuff first, so until yesterday I wasn't able to work on this one. My track will be really fun, though. So far all I have is a riff and the instruments set, but let's be real - once those things are set up, all you gotta do then is let the music FLOW, maaaan. Got two days left, which is better than my average time spent on a compo track, so let's do this! Edit: Also, "This Wicked Heart of Mine" sounds like "This Sweet Guitar of Mine"... Which totally works. You will hear nothing else once you hear this, I promise. Jorito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short answer: There will be 3 rounds of the Dracula bracket, 2 weeks, 2 weeks, and 1 week long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hmm... Well, whatever comes of this, it'll be VERY interesting. I hope I can bring it together cohesively by Wednesday, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfire Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I would just like to give fair warning that I may not be submitting something up to my standards for this round. I've been dealing with a lot of pre-MAG anxiety and stress, and so far I don't have anything down for my track that I'm proud of. MAGFest is taking up most of this week, so I'll pretty much be submitting whatever I can get done next Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night. I will most certainly submit something, rest assured. On an unrelated note, who here am I going to see at MAGFest?! OceansAndrew and Esperado 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 i'll be there as well, I am hoping that I am able to have a good entry with the first 5 days or so taken up, but I have a general idea of the style i want to do. I'm excited to see people at MAG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshaggyfreak Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yeah, I'll be at MAG. I think I know what I want to do but I often don't work that well in short time frames. We'll see I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Mmm, my entry isn't unusual, I just (at the time) only had individual cool sounding parts written out, and I needed to figure out a way to piece them together cohesively (trickier than it sounds). Believe it or not, that's just my music making process, lately - come up with cool riffs, figure out what would make sense, as far as assembly goes, build bridging material based on the riffs, then mix/master. I think people will find I went all out, this round, it's pretty fuckin' good. HoboKa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Download Alucard Round 2 here! As for the Simon bracket, you know the drill. Three-way faceoff: Sir_NutS: Entrance, 1691 vs. War Machine: Dungeon, 1691 vs. OA: Entrance, 1797. Special shout-outs to YoshiBlade, Jorito, and Trism; these were especially strong entries despite your loss this round. May Dracula grow strong on your blood! The source for the Dracula bracket, Round 1, is Moonlight Nocturne from Symphony of the Night! Please use "Moonlight Nocturne, 1797" as the name of the theme in your remix titles, e.g. MindWanderer - Time for Bed (Clock Tower, 1691 and Moonlight Nocturne, 1797).mp3 OceansAndrew and Jorito 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Congrats to WarMachine for winning, with a clear lead in the last few votes. And better luck for me in the next round WarMachine and OceansAndrew 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So, lemme see if I got this straight. All the 9 people that lost in the first round are now fighting against each other for points by remixing Moonlight nocturne + their chosen source with a deadline in 2 weeks, rite?

That's correct, assuming 100% participation. It's similar to Darkesword's Gauntlet compos. I'm guessing some will opt out, but the more that participate, the more points each participant will earn. The highest score at the end of three rounds will represent Dracula in the final battle. Since we have some newer mixers, I'll put forward a suggestion: Moonlight Nocturne is a long and complex piece, 1:45 long with not a lot of repetition and no loop. Rather than attempting to tackle the whole thing in order and smooshing your own source into it somewhere, you may have more luck breaking it apart into some of the more recognizable themes. Just a suggestion, not a rule or anything, just bear in mind that you don't have to use all of it, but identifiable parts of it should constitute a significant part of your remix.
