Posted by: Tri Jun 17 2009, 12:18 PM
Firstly, gratz to Fender for runner-up and Hippopolun for Top 1 (that is so redundant but whatever)!

So, before I mention and establish the ground rules, I'd like to thank anyone and everyone who has had/has/will ever have the spirit to get at least a small (but worthwhile) entry into the competition - remember, the more the merrier!

Anyhow, let's get on with this. The theme of this next competition is...

Mario RPG battle themes!

You can pick any battle theme (boss, regular, special, miniboss, training, etc.) present in any of these games:
Super Mario RPG
Paper Mario
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Super Paper Mario (boss themes mostly since there isn't a standard battle theme)
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

...and with that in mind, your job is to make a remix of this song. There are virtually no limitations except the ones given by the amounts of battle themes in the game, so you can pretty much do anything with the song you picked!

As a standard, no things you've made before and no original songs. I'm sure we'll get to the latter sometime in a later competition, but let's leave that for then.

And finally, the timeframe:

June 17th, 2009 - July 12th, 2009

I would love to see at least five or six people get in, and in the case that we need extensions I'll be happy to give them out. I wouldn't like them to get past July 10th, though, so that's my limit date.


Having said all that, you are now officially ready to...

Go!

P.S. Deadline's been moved to the 12th!

Scratch that!


14th!!!

I hope I can finish at least a sucky wip this time

I claim Popple & Rookie from MLSS.

Sweeeeet, I hope I actually get to enter this one. I'll have to put my unfinished 1-1 entry in the Arts Board at some stage.

Hey Tri, can we please have the extension? I'd really like to enter, and I've just figured out modplug tonight, but I won't have enough time to finish if I only have until the 3rd.


If you don't want to, that's fine, I'll just enter the next one.

Alright then. We don't have that many entrants in the first place and since you're just starting and DJ seems to be making progress, I'll give us until the 12th.


Does that sound good??

My head is bobbing, that is a very good sign my friend :3.

Posted by: Fez Jun 27 2009, 05:15 PM
Thanks Tri!


Also, I'm just listening to the song and then tabbing it out on the piano. Is there any easier way to do this?

Well, I've looked and can't seem to find much. Especially not for the song I'm doing.



I've chosen the popple battle theme, so I'm pretty sure I just have to figure it out.

Actually, I just realised that's way to advanced for a first song. Maybe I'll try the battle with Cackletta instead. That one seems simpler.

VG Music and Anvil Studio are you're friends.

And I might enter with the Culex Battle theme.

first off, am I allowed to enter as I am not a member yet?
secondly, whats remixing? i.e. i have a guitar and effects pedal, if I played the song with effects is that remix?
I guess lastly,if I can enter, can I get an example of what the last guy did, when he remixed and where should I look for source songs?
I'm new, sad.gif brand new


oh what software is advised to have to remix

I'm actually not sure about you entering as a not-member yet, but if you manage to finish in time then we can get it in and see what we decide!


Also, 'remixing' can go from making midis to using a variety of instrument packs and sound generators to put together a song that in some form or way resembles a particular song, but has a different flair/feel to it.

there were many last guys from the previous competition


Also, your range of software can be from Sonar, to ACID, to FL Studio, to Cubase, to Ableton Live, to Modplug Tracker, to Anvil Studio (if you want to make MIDI remixes), to recording and mixing via CoolEdit/Audacity/GoldWave, many of them.

Posted by: Fez Jun 28 2009, 07:25 PM
He tri, what do you mean by no original songs?


You said that would come up later on, but what do you mean by it?

Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Jun 28 2009, 08:08 PM
meaning you have to remix one of the songs there, not create a new song for the Mario RPG battles


also he's hoping for a future music competition to be original songs to make based off of a theme

Posted by: Kritter Jun 29 2009, 12:24 AM
I'd be up for an original music thing, so long as it had a limitation of some sort.

Posted by: Pucifur Jul 2 2009, 02:53 AM
I have the perfect song but I'm not sure how to remix it. Obviously ragtime doesn't do the trick. :P

I really want to mix it though, so I should have something to present by the deadline.

I'm actually done mine, just have to do post-production items, so IM me on AIM or MSN and I can help you.

Posted by: DJ Yoshiman Jul 3 2009, 01:04 PM

July 12th is in 2 days, guys, so make sure you get your entries in asap.

Posted by: Fez Jul 10 2009, 06:25 PM
I have... like 20-ish seconds.


I gave up a while ago, because I suck at drumbeats and bass, but I'll post it anyways.

Posted by: kane]deth[ Jul 10 2009, 06:39 PM
I didn't really like this competition because I don't really like the battle music from any of those games.

Posted by: MONEYMAN Jul 10 2009, 07:06 PM
Its kinda safe to say this music comp was a bust. I wonder what happens when no body enters besides the maker of the comp...

Posted by: Littlink Jul 10 2009, 07:12 PM
I'm just as surprised as you

http://www.sendspace.com/file/8m3b06

right now I am so sick of the SMRPG battle theme

a couple hours I think

Posted by: Pucifur Jul 11 2009, 12:36 AM
I've got an entry about halfway done but I am really pondering just redoing the thing since it isn't too remixy. If I do decide to redo it it shouldn't be that time consuming.

EDIT: Eh, forget it. If I don't have my old entry done by tomorrow don't expect to see anything. Lots of crap has come up and is keeping me preoccupied as of late so I don't have much time for music making.

Thanks for the offer, but its too late for me to accept now. I'm nearing completion on my entry as it is.

Posted by: Pucifur Jul 12 2009, 12:43 AM
Bleh, I only got halfway done but its all I can muster at this point. Not too happy with it... its hardly a remix tbqh, but I hope its accepted regardless. Different instruments, percussion, and bass lines give it a slightly more rushed and competitive feeling.

Nevermind that it just cuts off at the end. :D

If you'll listen to my sloppy entry you'll find that I could have really used your help. :(

Posted by: Tri Jul 13 2009, 12:25 AM
I'm extending because I feel like you forgot about this.


You got TWO DAYS to finish yer entries!

Posted by: Littlink Jul 13 2009, 03:14 PM
Which gives me enough time to fix up some stuff!
