MISSION STATEMENT
The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required.


MnP Instructions/Guidelines

1. Covers and Sound Upgrades are permitted.
2. Most or all of the source notes must be present (but not necessarily in the exact same order), secondly the mood (energy, pacing, feelings being conveyed etc) should also be retained. For example, a source tune that is fast-paced and energetic that's remixed into a mellow/chill-out theme would be a hard sell.
3. If you decide to do a genre swap (i.e. symphonic to techno), make sure that the conditions of #2 are met.
4. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max).
5. Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry.
6. Please don't make any comments about people's entries - including your own - until the Voting process is concluded.  BONUS entries are exempt of this rule.
7. All competitors and voters must adhere to the rules stated within: Competition Code and Conduct

MISC/TIPS
- When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make ppl's lives easier.
- In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

How could I not!?

I need to participate in this round, this track is just too good. Not to mention I've been playing lots of original Zelda over the past week upon discovering the randomizer online.

[Esperado]

This is a catchy one with lots of nice bits!

Arrangement is pretty much done. Not as MnP-ey as it should be, but I'm still pleased with what has resulted. Working on the mixing right now, so I'll have my entry up by Tuesday.

[Zorrakh]

I just uploaded my entry. I was in the zone yesterday and the day before, and it's going to be a busy next couple of days with Memorial Day just around the corner, so it's done and sent!

[Starphoenix]

Entry has been uploaded. Not very MnP-ey, but I had a lot of fun with it and couldn’t resist where it was going.

[Dextastic]

Ack, I thought the submission date was June 1st. Super sorry about missing it - I haven't been on the site enough to check periodically.

I'll definitely vote, though - such a short source to do conservatively, I can imagine it was a tough one.

I'll see if compothasauce behaves and lets me add this in as a bonus lol.

The Mod-Edit** webform is all blank (meaning all is white and the text is white too lmfao, so it's a hell to navigate T_T) for editing stuff.  So that's dandy.  Looks like SoundCloud where it shall reside unfortunately Trism.  Editing has become a bit of a pain with this new setup.  Hopefully that will be shored up soon hehe.
