PRCv14-09

Hello everyone and Welcome to the People's Remix Competition!

Welcome to round 347 of PRC. Two rounds ago, PRC was Zora's Domain. it was Esperado who claimed the win. 4 Mixers entered the round.

I decided to go with an oldie for me, which is the cave 2 theme from Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen. It was a humorous rpg that didnt take itself very seriously. Lots of truly goofy voice acting and some pretty memorable(if a bit short) tracks. This one is  a loop so you'll have to get creative with it ;)

Just a heads up for people who listen to the youtube video, theres a little melody in the midi that you cant really hear in the youtube render. This is due to the way game music worked on dos computers, with the game  running midi through whatever soundcard you had. I guess the emulation in the video doesnt render very well. Alas it was the only video of the theme on youtube. 

 

P.s. Definitely plugging out a bonus remix of this one

Have you thought about advertising PRC on the OC Remix Discord group. It could be a good way to get more participation and advertising for the competition.

(this quote was from PRC345)

I've signed up for the Discord group today, didn't get around to it earlier. I'm going to post small announcement over there in the #comps page, linking to this thread and/or ThaSauce.

Welcome to the voting stage 

The mixing stage is over. This round has 3 songs. The following people compete against each other    

Dewey Newt

PlanarianHugger

RonaldPoe

(if you want a different color, let me know by replying or sending me a PM). I won’t use the pictures anymore since I have issues by getting them at this page).

 

To vote, do the following:

·       Visit the stated ThaSauce Page and listen to all the entries.

·       Scroll to the form at the bottom of the screen or click PM.

·       Fill in the entries from first to third in the ThaSauce form or fill in your top 3. Participants only need to fill in the first and second box.

·       State a reasoning for it.

·       Participants are encouraged to vote and leave feedback. However, they may not vote for themselve, they get a free first place if they vote, so it's attractive for the results. Non participants are encouraged to vote to decide the winner and leave comments.

·       Esperado has a vote that counts twice.

·       Always look in this thread to find out who's the winner of the round after the voting stage instead of only looking at ThaSauce for the results. Especially since some people might vote by sending me a PM.

You have until THIS Monday, May 8th 10:59 AM ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT) to vote.

If you vote by PM make sure that your top 3 (or top 2 for participants) is clear. I prefer something like this:

(Subject)

PRC ### Vote

 

(Message):

1: (remixer A )

2: (remixer B )

3: (remixer C )

 

(reasoning)

 

I will post the feedback given in the PM’s and the votes in this thread. The winner may choose the source tune for PRC349.

Results time.

 

RonaldPoe returns with 13 points, not avoiding the last place wooden spoon.

PlanarianHugger got 14 points, and gets second place

And the winner of PRC347 is Dewey Newt with 21 points.

Dewey Newt congratulations. You may select the source for PRC349. Send the source to me (with a MID/MP3 file, otherwise send a second source with a MID file) by PM, other options are PM me @ ThaSauce or by e-mailing to bambombim@gmail.com (I prefer a PM @Ocremix). Send your source as fast as you can, but before next Monday (15 May), 10:59 AM ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT).

You may select any source for any game, but not a source with an OverClocked remix or a source which has been used in PRC before. An overview of the past PRC's can be found in the following links:

I'm fine with getting last place again (I almost expect it these days). I noticed people didn't catch on to some of the subtleties though. For example, the bass part is actually an original tune I harmonized (to an extent) with the original melody and the Hi-hats and cowbell parts (while not that obvious) are actually very wild. I'm probably going to work on this tune and refine it. Thanks for the criticisms though.

I also meant to say Futaba's Tomb from Persona 5 but mispronounced her name. That game is awesome and I've been playing it a lot lately.

I admit that I missed that the bass part was original. Sorry!

As a drummer I would say your track was definitely the most interesting percussion-wise. However, the cowbell you're using doesn't sound very good (maybe try replacing it with some deep bongos or toms if other cowbell samples don't fit the cave mood) and is a little too low in the mix. The hi hats are WAY too low in the mix. I had to listen again with headphones and turn it way up to even realize they were there.

Well done to everybody! Good number of votes this time. :) I've already got a source picked out for this one, should be fun!

The ThaSauce thread is already up. So if something bad happens to me or my internet connection, the round can still start. Only admin's can see the thread and source yet. Hopefully HoboKa doesn't abuse this advantage to create an OC-worthy song. For me, even if I would use this advantage I would still end up with the wooden spoon.
