Bundeslang Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The People's Remix Competition 349PRCv14-11Hello everyone and Welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Welcome to round 349 of PRC. Two rounds ago, Esperado selected the source and Dewey Newt was the winner. PlanarianHugger and RonaldPoe couldn't stop him. Not Dewey Newt, but his brother selected the source for this round: On 2017-5-9 at 3:31 AM, Dewey Newt said: I got a request to cover a Battletoads song from my brother, so I'm picking the bike section of the Turbo Tunnel for this round! I played the SNES version of this game growing up, and man... This game was unforgiving. The Turbo Tunnel was the furthest any of my brothers, cousins, or I ever got. I used to think after the level was beaten, the rest of the levels would be unfinished and glitchy since nobody was going to get passed that level. We always played 2 player too, which made it much more difficult. My brother and I did beat the game finally, using an emulator and save states. It was hard even using those! Beating it and seeing the rest of the levels was awesome, though. Mazedude has a medley of Battletoads with this tune in it, but no individual mixes on the site, so a good tune to cover in PRC! The MIDI I got was in pretty bad shape, mixing is not good at all. All of the notes are there, though, and I've tried to correct all the errors I heard. Forgive me if there are some wrong notes here and there! https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8-q7hg2GtQPUHlCZ3F5QTFTS2s Source: Battletoads – Turbo Tunnel Part 2 (NES) MIDI Source Information ThaSauce link: Click here to submit To submit a song at the compo page you can use the ThaSauce page.

Dewey Newt Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 On vacation this week, so I had to get a bonus mix done early. Looking forward to what everyone else comes up with! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8-q7hg2GtQPZzRReUxFYmktcUU/view?usp=drivesdk Bundeslang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dextastic Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This is screaming out for a rock remix, but I'm going to try to step out of my comfort zone a bit and take in a totally different direction. Dewey Newt and Bundeslang 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCJ Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'm gonna have to sit out on this one. I've been rushing the last couple out so I'm gonna take some time to finish up other work and hopefully I'll be able to make something real good next time! I'll still vote this round though, no doubt about that. Dewey Newt and PlanarianHugger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlanarianHugger Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Submitted. Very experimental with 5 different time signatures just because. Dextastic and Dewey Newt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Newt Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Lots of experimentation this round. I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Welcome to the voting stage The mixing stage is over. This round has 3 songs and 2 bonus mixes by Dewey Newt and NinjaPenguinDan. The following people compete against each other Dex 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. · Do not vote for Dewey Newt and NinjaPenguinDan, these tracks are bonus mixes. · 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. · Dewey Newt 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, June 5th 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: (To) Bundeslang (if you follow the link you won’t have to add my name). (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.

Ronald Poe Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I don't expect to win (I always get last place in these type of contests) but that doesn't mean I didn't work hard on this. I wrote original parts to go with the original theme. There's plenty of interesting drums and an original bassline (though you might have trouble noticing it). I also went for a passive aggressive feel due to the difficulty/infamy of the Turbo Tunnel. Hope someone enjoys it and that everyone has a nice day. If I win I want a hybrid of "One Winged Angel" (Final Fantasy 7) and primarily "Birth of a God" (Final Fantasy 7). I like to think of what a theme for Bizarro Sephiroth and/or Safer Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 3 (I imagine it to be a mix between the two pieces). Nobody's mixed these two sources in counterpoint yet. If I don't win, I'm probably going to try that remix anyway ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundeslang Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Results time. Dewey Newt and NinjaPenguinD both did a bonus mix. PlanarianHugger did a nice one, but he only got 10 points and the last place wooden spoon. RonaldPoe gathered 13 points and ends with a second place. And another victory for Dex with 17 points. Dex congratulations. I think you are the first one who wins two rounds in a row. So you may pick the source for PRC351 as well. 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 (12 June), 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: http://sites.google.com/site/bambombim/prc http://bambombim.googlepages.com/PRCRemixList.doc (also downloadable via the link above). Check the ThaSauce Page for the results and votes. PRC350 already started: check the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dextastic Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 SURE, the one round I choose to experiment, so does everyone else I really liked the range of compositions this round, and I am quite surprised I came out on top in the end. NinjaPenguinDan, I *did* humanize the piano! Oh well, I guess it wasn't enough, and listening to my track again I can hear some parts that feel a little too stiff. Argh. Oh well, it's all part of the learning process, isn't it? RonaldPoe, I agree with the others who say that you need to turn up the bass lines in your work. There's something interesting going on there but it's really hard to hear. Maybe it sounds good to you but it's not translating - in other words, maybe there's something wrong with your audio monitoring setup. Personal story along those lines: for the first few months I did remixes people would always comment about the lack of low end in my work even though it sounded fine on my end. I was mixing with headphones with a nice and flat low-end frequency response, so what could the problem be? It turns out the problem was that I was plugging them into my speaker's headphone jack instead of directly into my computer's headphone jack, and the speakers were applying a bass boost before passing the signal along! I thought it was just a pass-through connection but I was wrong. So now I just plug my headphones directly into my computer and things are...well, not ideal, but at least much better.

Dewey Newt Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Definitely one of those songs that's so obviously rock you WANT to experiment, lol. I enjoyed the variation as well! A little tidbit of info on mine, the intro section was sequenced in FL Studios with Super Audio Cart (SAC) providing the instruments. I know SAC was sampled from real hardware and such, but man. It amazed me just how accurate I could get to the original! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanarianHugger Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Guess mine was a bit too experimental but odd time signatures was a lot of fun the work with. I can assure you the original was in there some place in the weirdness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
