osu! "circles!" Remix Contest

by Tasha

Do you like to make music? Do you want to get your creative work out there for others to see? Look no further as we're putting the spotlight on the music creators of the community with osu!'s first ever remix contest! Sound interesting? Read on to see the details!

For the first contest, participants are challenged to make a remix of nekodex's "circles!". There are stems provided for circles! for use in this contest, which can be found right here!. The original song is 184bpm for those who may need it.

Rules

  • One submission per person.
  • The remix must be between 2 to 4 minutes in length.
  • The main melody (0:54-1:26) must be included in the song.
  • The original stems are provided for your use, but you are not required to use them. Feel free to make your remix from scratch if you prefer.
  • No use of uncleared samples.
  • By submitting, you agree that we have non-exclusive rights to use your creation commercially or otherwise. We may also omit or alter it should we deem it necessary to fit our usage scenarios.
  • Submitted mp3 must be 320kbps.
  • We may require proof that you were the creator of the entry, so don't throw away the project files.

How do I submit my remix?

Easy! Just upload your remix somewhere such as SoundCloud or puush before heading on over to the submission form and filling in the required fields. Be sure to double check all the rules before submitting to keep any issues you may have to a minimum!

The submission deadline for this contest is the Saturday, 9 July 2016, 00:00:00 UTC. This should give all you creators plenty of time to get those creative minds working!

We will not accept late entries, so make sure to get your entry submitted well before the deadline.

What are the prizes?

There are two winner categories for this contest.

The osu! staff (including cYsmix, nekodex, peppy) will decide on the grand prize winner.

What do you mean by uncleared samples?

someone get camellia to participate

Go Chrono :D

Im not that well at remixes... BUTT AYY, cant go wrong

VINXIS PLS

what constitutes as 'cleared sample'? royalty free is fine? are any and all synthesizers also fine? what about sample presets that come with my hardware etc

Anything that you have permission to use from the original sample creator is fine. Anything that doesn't fit under that is uncleared.

so If I just put the song on nightcore that would technically be a remix, right?
right...?

Chiraux minimar

I mean...
it WOULD...

we can do a YTPMV version? x)

oh sht 50dollars w w

For anyone having trouble figuring it out for yourself, the Time Signature is 4/4 (Duh), the BPM is 184, and it's in the Key of D Major. You're welcome.

Best of luck to you all.

Chiraux SunsetsAndSushi

woo

Waiting for Sharlo's "circles!" ^.~

Brain Power (John Cena Remix)

XTheSabreGamerX XTheSabreGamerX

Yea It's pretty weird.

if the remix is 3/4 instead of 4/4 then well I guess there's difficulty maintaintaintaing the main rhythm in sync since it will not fit in . Gonna challenge this rule

面白い

Anyone know any good computer programs for music manipulation/remixing/editing?

Xayler Luminosity

I started my remix with magix music maker, it's kinda easy to use and easy to remix with those stems provided.

Alplaza Luminosity

the DAW I'm using is FL Studio (but it takes quite a time to get used to it) try it

Dj-jo where you at tho

CAN MY ACAPELLA BE ENTERED

cYsmix OzzyOzrock

Anything is fine!

cYsmix what have you done! (jk Ozzy acapella's #1)

OKAY YES!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been waiting forever for a remix contest

Akum4tion -Boggy-

The post says one post per person...

-Boggy- Akum4tion

Didn't notice ;-;

mix the circles...to beat!

Hold my beer, my Autotune can do this.

If someone makes an extratone song for the contest, definite vote from me. xdddddddd

SFGrenade Sylvette

Does Speedcore or Splittercore count too? :D

Sylvette SFGrenade

Extratone > Speedcore > DnB

If someone makes an extratone and you make speedcore then you're not getting a vote. :P

Mayuzumi Sayaka SFGrenade

just remixes,so i guess that it counts too

Wait do I need to buy the song in soundcloud to remix it? I want to try first time to remix something :D

read the post again

"There are stems provided for circles! for use in this contest"

Xayler blizzardice

The word "stem" is very unfamiliar for me, hearing this first time, lol. Thanks anyways.

:) I smell a drumstep remix in my future!

Brain Power Remix: CIRCLES POWER

When this is over, are all remixes gonna be published, e.g. by a link or something?

karterfreak SFGrenade

When the community vote happens you'll be able to listen to all the remixes to decide on which one you like the most. That's a fair bit away from now though!

SFGrenade karterfreak

Well, i should have thought my idea over -.-

how else should the community rate the artists?

Oh this is cool! ^-^

Really interesting :3 I can't wait! >w<

I wonder how many bad "cool bassy dubstep remixes" is this going to get. Good luck to everyone though!
