If you do, please post a link to the thread from the Ocremix Request which you used (with starting date before 1-1-2020) in this thread or in the song description at ThaSauce. If you find a MIDI (or a better MIDI) from one of the sources above you are more than welcome to post it here as well. Vgmusic will have more MIDI's from some of these sources. ThaSauce link: Click here to submit The deadline is Wednesday February 5th 2020 at 10:59 am ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT), check the ThaSauce page for the exact time left. Make sure that the song is uploaded to ThaSauce or that there’s a download link posted in this thread. You may enter as many mixes as you like and work with as many people as you like on each mix. You are free to create a second ThaSauce account for that if you use ThaSauce, it's needed to be able to upload a second remix if you use ThaSauce. Of course you can also upload it somewhere else and put a download link in this thread. Do not make qualitative comments on an entry until the results of the vote have been posted in this thread. Mixers cannot vote for themselves but if they vote they receive a free first place vote added onto their score. The winner of this round may select the source for PRC405, the rounds after next round. Everyone can enter, nobody has a vote that counts twice. You can find the full rules list at this page as well.

TheVideoGamer Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'm just curious, are the source on this list, guidelines or are these the sources we will be using for this round? Also what do you mean by OCremix Request? Is that like a forum or something, where you post your requested sources for people to remix? Lastly, can you make a request forum for a chosen source, or does it have to be what's already there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not this one is it? https://ocremix.org/community/forum/6-remix-requests/ If it is, then disregard question 2.

Yes, that's the one. All requests in that thread are allowed, except for those which are created after the start of this round (to avoid that people are gonna post requests and remix those to enter). The sources on the list are examples, WereTech requested Dracula Castle Cathedral / Meeting Dracula - Castlevania Legends in january 2019 so that's a possible source for this round. Of course, remixing one source is enough, there won't be a bonus for mixing more sources. It's also allowed to look further back and remix a source which has been requested in the Request Thread years ago. TheVideoGamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i could search for a video game track, that might have happened to have a request in the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already happened: http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/MNP101 http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC321 But the game music still needs more love. An album should be even more awesome, but that's too much to ask. Problem is that the MIDI's are impossible to remix.

I mean if it gets enough supports and an album does suffice I’d be happy to MIDIfy the entire OST. Takes me no time at all.

Takes me no time at all. Would be nice. If I could I give you a 10 point bonus for that, but that's not fair to everyone else. So then, if a miracle happens and we both tie for a PRC win, the victory is yours. TheVideoGamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wanna be doing it for the sake of it, unless you directly request it specifically. Thanks for the kind words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVideoGamer Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, Dextastic said: How do you do it? Is it all by ear? Depends on the console, and the track itself. If it's something like NES or Sega Genesis, i can separate it into different channels, and work one by one. If it's a very simple stripped down track, i can pin point things quickly and do it straight away. If it's more textually rich, or there is a lot of ambiguities in the pitch and the rhythm, it takes me a lot longer, in some cases like more than a week's work. That is, actually working on it, so not things like real life work, where i don't have time to spend on it. What i mean by that is, out of a week, i might only spend 2 days working on it. That kind of thing. The hardest MIDI i had to sequence for PRC was probably the Batman and Robin source for 394. Only because the panning was super difficult to integrate to MIDI. My PRC400 entry was also a pain, because there was a lot of heavy textures, meaning i had to spend a day or 2, just isolating that particular instrument, bearing in mind this is all by ear. I couldn't separate it into channels like the NES or Sega Genesis can. This was mainly down to the sounds themselves, as the pitches weren't very clear. Still had a lot of fun though, i love the Sonic Unleashed OST, one of my all time favourites. The hardest for MnP is the Sonic Lost World source for 104, but only because it took the longest, it was still fairly reasonable to work with. I've said a lot, but hopefully it answers your question... Edited January 9, 2020 by TheVideoGamer Dextastic and HoboKa 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some good picks... You know i think there is something in the air. Many people in my area all seem to have the flu, even though i'm actually feeling pretty great. However though i haven't managed to get something in yet, because this week and last week especially i've been so busy. Maybe in a couple days time i get of my ass, but for now i''m extremely busy.
