That's happened to me too, it was really difficult this time

[Supercoolmike]

I know its hella late but I just wanted to say thanks to Bundeslang and everyone else That has voted and liked my songs enough to grant me Remixer of the year! I am both over joyed and kinda frustrated to see that I have received such a reward.

I'm happy because I was able to complete a goal that I have set and told myself to win since last years PRC free round (PRC 286), and The only other Goal I wish to set for myself in PRC is to become Higher in the hall of fame and to be amongst the top 10 of all round remixers; Of course that's not going to be happening anytime soon but its a goal none the less.

The parts where I'm frustrated at this reward is simply because I don't feel like I deserve such a reward when I myself still have lots to learn. my ability to be able to stand on my own 2 feet against the giants of OCR is still very marginal but I can do nothing but keep trying and progress through the months/years that will pass by that will hopefully make my efforts fruitful to become a better creative musician and artist as a whole.

Loved last year's outcome and I can't wait to see you all again for the new year/season of PRC!

Don't be frustrated, be happy about what you have accomplished and remember, even those OCR giants started small.

I realized that my song didn't appear in the top 3 by any of the voters, I still haven't got any points by the voters. Therefore, I extend the voting stage with two days, so there are still two days to vote for my track.

[Bundeslang]

It's results time.

Total number of mixes - 12

Total number of votes - 10

 

It was a huge round. Thanks everyone.

 

Touchstone forgot to vote, and all the voters forgot to vote for Touchstone. He gets the last place wooden spoon with 0 points.

 

Chickenwarlord votes himself to the 11th place, with 3 points.

 

Bundeslang got one bonus point as a result of the poll. Together with his vote, it brings him 4 points and 10th place.

 

Chalis, PlanarianHugger, Supercoolmike and Trism all got 5 points, giving them all the 6th place.

 

FreakyT got 6 points and the 5th place.

Yami gathered 8 points, enough for 4th place.

Esperado was close to get second place, but his 12 points give him the third place.

Toilet Goat collected a couple of first place votes, he ends with 13 points and second place.

 

And the winner of PRC312 is OneUp with 25 points.

@Supercoolmike I'm not sure if your familiar with Mega Man II on the Game Boy, the original is the Needle Man theme from said game. Or you might have listened to one of my earlier tries, since this melody was the reason I even started remixing

[PlanarianHugger]

I want to thank everyone for giving advice and complements on my music this year. I enjoy doing this and this year I wish to win a PRC for not because of being the only one to enter.

[Esperado]

For people who were curious about that intro synth, here are some screenies for you. Its all in the effects on this one really. 

a square wave

run through a saw wave

and then run through this. The Flanger exaggerates the stereo a little and makes things sound more interesting , but the Auto filter and erosion are what give it the almost voicelike quality. After that its just some saturation to warm it up, and then a sidechain compressor and beat repeat to add a little flair. 

heres what it sounds like without any fx, then with flanger, and then with the full stack of fx.

Yay, thanks for the votes and kind words!

I love that this compo still is going strong, thanks Bundeslang for the awesome work!

As I said, I didn't have time to upload the latest version, so here it is if you're interested: http://picosong.com/E2fG/ EDIT: Sorry about the excess part at the end.

The top 10 takes in count both participations and victories. Rounds with many participants are rewarded with a higher score. And you're close to get in the top 10. If you win the next round, you are in the top 10 (you have 490 points, Chickenwarlord (the #10) has 500 (winners get a minimum of 20 points and a maximum of 100). But Esperado now has 470 points, so you may not lose from him.
