I don’t really understand the rules. If a tune is appropriate, it won’t get accepted? Please specify how to produce a tune that’s inappropriate enough.
[19] :
20. Oct 2007 15:50
[18] That is concerning the tunes using samples. Inapporpriate tunes can be the tune that is using samples in such an extent that it is far from 3 channels + sample for some effects and is closer to complete sampled stuff. Something like that.

Ok. First thing first. The deadline is moved one more week far. There are three reasons for that.
1st I?ve been awarded by a hemorrhoid of gigantic proportions on my ass (yes I really did, I?m not joking). That caused my motivation to sit over my hobby during spare time to go extremely low.
Second I?ve changed my mind about the system and made it as simple as possible. Do you remember all that leftclick, rightclick, middleclick horror that I?ve introduced last year? That?s over. You just drag a row with the tune and put it on any place you wish. The rest is counted automatically. On first submit, you will receive the e-mail with links to your voter account so you can update your rank anytime a new tune appears.
Third reason for extending of the deadline is because there is too short time for testing of the voting system and gaining enough tunes and enough voters. I need to see how it works and 1 week is just not enough for this compo to grow into the reasonable "weight".
And by the way. The tune "Sorry For The Delay" wasn?t composed by me. However, it has really fitting name. I'm also sorry for the delay. Thanx to first 3 musicians that bravely sent their tunes for giving me a bit of motivation to continue with this ungrateful job. The same goes for Orcan and Randall. Thanx guys.
And now... You know what to do! ;-)
[48] :
29. Oct 2007 11:35
"sorry for the delay" behaves somewhat weird after the tune loops. seems like there was different pattern loops concurring on top of each other. was that intended? :)

Gee, looks like there is still not a single C64 musician who’s able to produce at least "basic" theme. Well, well, well... maybe that’s the reason why most of the C64 SID admirers/lovers can’t recall more than 1-2 "contemporary" compositions. But then again, how could they? Ask’em for "classic" and see for yourself. Work harder, pals!
POKESEt
[83] :
31. Oct 2007 21:22
[82] you are right, it’s quite hard to remember tunes from last years but let’s try what I can recall (and humm at least partially) from head .. electric jesus (intensity 2006, place #8), lemmie eat the rastertime (booker! 2005, place #8 - I recall intro and part similar to deel 3 by JT ;-) it’s fantastic tune by the way! ;-)), Le Tartar And Pretzelism (Pater Pi 2003 place #22) Textuality (noxs 2001), I can remember the intro "jumping chords".
After starting few tunes I can recall parts quite easily but that would be cheating if I claimed I could remember just from name ;-). Anyway this selection isn’t the complete selection of the tunes I remmeber most and also it’s far from complete selection of tunes I loved. Still, Leemie eat the rastertime is probably the most played tune (at my place) from all 6 years ;-). It’s proably because it’s so close to Deel3 which is one of my most favourite tunes ever.

POKESEt
[92] :
01. Nov 2007 10:16
Main theme isn’t a melody per se, might as well be the underlying idea of the tune. Though I understand your point. Then again, a main theme (melody) could also be a cheesy one, and I’m not sure if that’s always interesting. Often the complicated stuff is more interesting to listen to, because it requires the listener to pay attention and listen to the tune again to comprehend. I must admit, I haven’t listened to this year’s entries yet, so maybe I agree with you when I have. I’m going to wait till all tunes have arrived.

06. Nov 2007 13:23
Why this competition isn’t called GoatTracker compo?
10 of 17 (06/11/2007) songs were made with this tool.
The overall quality of the songs is quite average. I would say it is the usual SID compo stuff. There is actually no song that tweaks the SID to it’s limits or introduces new sounds. Especially If we come in multispeed it seems that people tend to copy.
bunny
[153] :
06. Nov 2007 13:29
bunny honey, why won’t you show me what it means and how to do it (because i actually hear new sound concepts, e.g. ’not in jazz’, and tweaking to limits, e.g. ’danger zone’). and don’t use the evil goat tracker.
r
[154] :
06. Nov 2007 13:44
well, it’s a simple wavetable sound x 2 or x 4. doesn’t tweak the sid in a new way.
bunny
[155] :
06. Nov 2007 13:58
[152] and [154] MUSIC is important. Whatever you call "new way of SID tweaking" is for sound wankers. Goat Tracker is just tool, it’s not THE THING which gives anyone an advantage. It’s not doing music on itself. Same goes for X speed musics. Making music X-speed doesn’t automatically mean that audience will love your tune. What makes them to go to "knees" is the "stench", "drive" and all that stuff which you *seem* to deliberately ignore...
[156] :
06. Nov 2007 14:05
And yes the "overall quality" of songs i average, I can agree with that.I would call it a law of avergeness. Others would call it the gaussian curve. Whatever is it, it’s perfectly natural. I’m sure that from all that averageness there is one, maybe two tunes that are the least average and stand out ;-)))
[157] :
06. Nov 2007 14:13
Of course it gives advantages. It does not make music itself, yes, but it has several features that you don’t have on a real C64. On the other hand it isn’t that much different than common c64 msx-editors. It follows more or less the playroutine *STANDARDS*, therefore you can’t produce something else. Coders are only focused on optimizing the player instead of introducing new kinds of players.
bunny
[158] :
06. Nov 2007 14:15
[154] one more reason to consider myself a lonely failure. because i wouldn’t be able to reproduce that ’simple wavetable sound’ even if i wanted to. bunny, go the fuck away, you make me depressed.

[159] :
06. Nov 2007 14:23
bah, wavetables are easy. but yes, producing something *NEW* that doesn’t sound like a SID is hard. :)

Gee, now that’s what I call a flaming row ;-) Btw, yes there are some ’above-the-average’ tunes in this compo (at last). Don’t get too excited by the quality of sounds, though... Is it the music compo, instrument{s) compo, or what? Gimme the clue ;-)
POKESEt
[163] :
06. Nov 2007 14:36
[157] Bunny, believe me I tried! It didn’t give *me* any advantage over C64 composing. I (myself) did two musics in goat that would sound much better if I did them with my tool of prefference. Why? Because the tool really doesn’t matter, what matters is how you use it. For me, doing music on PC editor simply didn’t feel right. I didn’t feel enough freedom, I felt a sort of pressure on my shoulder being in the windowed application. Yeah I like how Cadaver did it. That’s why I’ve promoted it so hard. I felt that GT is very good tool for anyone who would like to compose c64 music on PC. Thanx to many skilled musicians that started to use it, it proved itself worthy. However, it’s not the tool alone that proved it’s greatness. The musicians did. But I don’t care. I'm using my favourite editor for composing and I love to use it. I *know* that I can kick some serious butt with it and I don’t need any new great shmoat tracker to assure myself of being worthy.
[164] :
06. Nov 2007 14:37
[160][161] I agree with both of you ;-)
[165] :
06. Nov 2007 14:49
Well, well... something other: Many 8580 songs lacks of weak filters (compared to the old SID). Composers or playroutines fault? :)
bunny
[166] :
06. Nov 2007 14:59
[165] Depends on point of view. I like how deep 8580 filter can go. You will never get so deep with 6581 because it?s slope curve (or how to call it) is about 4 times less sharp. But yeah, you can hear many of those nice bubbly fluffy round smooth filters on 6581 tunes. One can consider it a feature, other (like me) can consider it a virtue heavily influenced by constraints. So I would call the difference a composers prefference, not a fault at all.
[167] :
06. Nov 2007 15:01
+1 tune in my mailbox, will be added when I get home.
[168] :
06. Nov 2007 17:25
I had no idea this was a purely technical compo ie tweaking the SID. In that case I won’t be bothered to participate ever again, cause I find it more of a challenge to produce lasting melodies. Hasta la vista.

CreaMD
[177] :
06. Nov 2007 20:47
Well done on the MSK-sounding tune, censored by creamd - no public guessing please. (I guess)
I’m brutally honest when it comes to my feelings for this competition, which is why I didn’t feel the need to hide behind an anonymous nick.
The reason I compose is purely for my own pleasure, because it’s damn nice to have an idea or a theme in your head and then later end up with a finished tune.
I can understand why many musicians for example use multispeed (or even digis) for a competition like this, because really - why be limited? - but if the audience only wants gimmicks and something "new" disregarding melody and song structure I’m out of here.
Dane
[178] :
06. Nov 2007 20:53

[177] Dane hey hey! Audience want’s AMAZING MELODIES and FANTASTIC SOUND. All that! Yes. Nothing else. I have never seen/experienced a compo that was won by just "great sounds". Have you? Don’t get too melodramatic. I's sure I'm not alone who love your tune. Yes I loved last years better, bud this one is definitely one of the top 5. For my own tastes, you are getting more and more from playful ornamental stuff (which I don't dig that much) to something that pleases me (and I hope also general pop loving audience) more ;-). And now I hope there won’t be more revealing of competiting names. Thanx for understanding.
CreaMD
[184] :
06. Nov 2007 22:04
[182] Freestyle cover is a cool name (at least I thoght). In praxe that means you can choose any genre of music and cover it. In past I was thinking about more restriction to the cover compos.. e.g. to make it monothematic (one genre of music per cover compo) but that wouldn’t work because best cover anyone does is cover of the tune he loves.
CreaMD

[177] I do search for new stuff in the tunes, but regarding music, and not technical prowess. The quintessential SID tune bores me but fresh sounding stuff (’sounding’ as in composition, iea, etc.) is what attracts me nowadays, and the SID compo, every year, provides me with some freshness ;)

[191] in general, goat tracker multispeed tunes tend to have problems with timing sometimes. for example, my tune for this year’s silesia party, if converted with psid64, sounded strange, but after adding my own player with slightly different timing, was ok.
r
[199] :
07. Nov 2007 16:43
[191] & [198]
It’s Roland’s psid64 that causes this. After the file is decrunched, the rasterlines are misplaced at the very beginning (when you hold shift-lock to view rastertime.)
I just stopped the tune and then replayed it, and it played better afterwards. The problem may be related to bit 7 in $d011 not being checked at the start, or depending what cruncher is used for psid (if there is one.)

creamd, just how did you find out that your tc-passwords where actually stolen? did a certain program search through your windows directory and send the ini-file to someone else while you were watching? =)
clueless person
[207] :
07. Nov 2007 23:08
I?ve found out the hardest possible way. The php, html, htm files in root directories of portals I?m programming got infected by and ecoded javascript, which was attempting to install the trojan on computers that opened the webpage. We had to disable the access to sites because it was very high probability that anyone with vulnerable IE or unpatched windows could get the virus. The portals have average about 20 thousands visits a day (13-15 uniques). The portal codes were lated restored from backup. At that time I still didn?t know that it was actually my TC ini file that leaked. Only when I was informed about certain attempts to log on parts of sites that were already disabled (server administrator of portals saw that in logs) then I realised that it was actually something to do with ftp password list. But it was too late already. Every site in the list got affected by that (and yes I had a really juicy list of ftp sites (over 40 active sites). So I spent about 5 hours cleaning the files by a script I had to made (which was loading file by file and removing the javascript code that didn?t belong there). This lasted until 2:30 AM today. Then I spent the whole day phoning to various client and hosting services and asking the to change the passwords so the attack won?t repeat.

Voting is really difficult again this year. Is it just me or are all the tunes apart from one or two not so good ones and a couple of medium ones really really good? I mean it feels bad if I have to vote a tune to #12 that I actually like a lot, only there are 11 other tunes which are only slightly better! Argh...
[238] :
11. Nov 2007 11:05
btw. +1 tune added. [237] I have similar feeling. I was relistening the ones I like better, yesterday and I had problem which ones I should put in the top 5. Pity I can’t say names ;-)

[237] At least last year it was possible to put several songs on the same position when voting. Maybe that’s not the idea in the voting, but if you honestly feel some tunes are equally good, maybe you should vote accordingly.

BTW about the mp3’s: Recording them is one thing, but even more time and effort is needed because each and every recording must be carefully listened before putting them online to make sure they don’t clip, haven’t picked up cell phone interference or don’t have hiccups caused by Windows or something stupid like that. I have limited time, so it would be great if I’d have a couple of "listeners" to help me. This would really speed up putting the tunes online. Those who are interested, please put your contact info on this comment section. All you would have to do is to listen to some tunes once and tell me if the recordings are OK. I would really appreciate it.

Ok now the sad and a bit embarassing news. I had to disqualify the entry #17. It’s a cover of Everybody, Everybody by Black Box (1990 tune). I know background about how this tune was made so I can understand how this could happen. I’m really sad about this mistake because it was one of the best sons in the compo. I won’t reveal name of the author(s) although I’m sure many of you guessed who is it. Anyway I’m pretty much sure this wasn’t intentional. Sorry everybody, including the author. Let’s hope author won’t be against releasing it in the cover compo which starts on 1st of january 2008.

to the composer of that sid tune: It’s something that happened to me a few times too; worktunes gather dust, changes directory and after a while you think: wow, i did a nice job back then! let’s finish that! .. an example of me is this: C:/music/sid/C64Music/MUSICIANS/N/No-XS/Sixpack_of_Cola.sid ...which turns out to be an .it tune by Beek.. just remembered that last month... lol :))

[252] Quite sad to hear tune #17 got disaqualified, it was a very good tune... however I never actually knew it was a slight cover of some old 90’s tune, until this Mr.D opened his big mouth. IMO, enjoyment comes first priority, production details come second. But of course, opinions differ to all.

A followup to the "Sit In My Underwear, Drinking Pepsi" compo was to be to hold an Airwolf.sid compo, but then make a different tv-tune.. I didn’t hold that compo, since it looks like a fuckup for the HVSC (wasn’t my primary intention though :)) ... Alot of cover compo’s can be done.. like tv-tunes, or maybe even the same tune, or known pc-demo-tunes, ehm... anything :) ..Might be fun to restrict the cover compo to something like that.. Ohh, and the telling of the authors made it a bit to obvious now, Dane and not-Dane :))

Sorry for the delay, My little daughter said it was unforgivable that there was not a jazz sid in this big autumn symphony. While I almost died defending the mothership, i told her it was unstoppable. The sexy hardrestart seemed to have 6581 destinations but when she asked me to mix em up, the music seemed to be full of november echoes and jammed with arpeggios.

[298] :
13. Nov 2007 18:59
[295] I was thinking about restrictions and maybe we can try something like that sometimes, but first we need to check how musicians will react to this one. And I also think (from my own experience) that best covers are made from tunes that we love ;-)

It seems that many tunes were composed on emulators. Just listen to 6581 Destinations (MP3 vs. SID). Fortunately there are a lot more 8580 entries. :)
Jaws
[312] :
14. Nov 2007 11:50
[311] It maybe also depends on version of 6581 (OLD SID). Can anyone check on their 6581?
CreaMD
[313] :
14. Nov 2007 11:57
[312] I think it might have more to do with the difference between each and every 6581 instead of the version. The difference is that the "default cutoff point" is different on every chip. Sounds which have the cutoff on a fixed point have the biggest difference in sound between different 6581’s. It’s "dangerous" to rely on these kind of sounds on 6581 :) Filter sweeps work much better. This was already noticed by some game musician in the 80’s, but I don’t remember who it was (his comments are in the STIL file of HVSC). Anyways "6581 destinations" might sound "more correct" on some other C64.
a compo fan
[314] :
14. Nov 2007 12:08
BTW, "Gold Lux" maybe "suffers" most from my C64 - it propably doesn’t sound as intended in the recording. However, many tunes sound just fine with this C64, so I don’t think I used a particulary bad one. BTW, 8580’s have less differences between each chip, so I strongly suggest using 8580 for those who are worried that their tune might be ruined by "wrongly tuned" filters. But I guess even 8580’s aren’t exactly same... Also there is less difference between emulation and the real thing on 8580, but clear difference between emulation and 6581, so again I strongly suggest that if you use Goattracker or Vice, and want your tune sound similar on the real thing, switch to 8580 mode...
a compo fan
[315] :
14. Nov 2007 12:08
It probably will sound better on a R2 than on a R4 (which is well known for it’s strong filters) Which revision did you used?
BaMuNaTiOn
[316] :
14. Nov 2007 12:25
I opened my C64 (yes I don’t have a life:) to check and it seems to be R4AR. However, I really really think this isn’t a revision issue but simply "difference between each SID"-issue. Chips from the same manufacturing batch might sound the same but I really do believe there can be differences between chips even if they are the same revision. It’s just a bit difficult to explain the idea, but analog synth users understand when I say "the default cutoff frequency is different between every chip".

[351]Anyway, I’m kinda curious what kind of arsehole one has to be, to ask for prizes in the compo that is organised on a non-profit basis, on a non profit site with voluntary compo participants. Next time you are going to ask this ungrateful question don’t forget to ask yourself who will pay me for all the time I wasted with this compo over the years trying to make it as good as possible. I never thought that having prizes in the compo would make it bigger or better, but if you think so, feel free to sponsor the prizes for the last one in the series - C64.sk Sid Compo #8 a.k.a. The Last CompoTM.

[355] I’m serious. As you could have already noticed there is no point where this compo could move (in some radical way). Every year I’m getting more and more anxious feelings about how it will go, if it won’t end by a big fiasco and all that crap. Every year I collect tiny bit’s of negative emotions from here or there and I can’t shake it off, it’s collecting inside me. It’s really exhausting and I feel that I can’t continue with this for too long. I don’t believe that this compo will ever get bigger response than 43 entries in (I don’t know which year) and I’m a bit scared of the idea that #9 will have less than 20 ;-). If you wan’t to beat your competition, you must differ from it. But how can you "beat" yourself? I know how. And you will learn when the time comes. Don’t worry I have something different in the sleeve. ;-))
[356] Do you really think that having cheap prizes in this compo will earn it more respect?

CreaMD - this year is less tunes than last year but quality is fantastic. I reckon that in 2008 will be even better,maybe not in quantity but quality definitely.

Seriously, if there’s Sid-wine involved, the masses will gather. I can attest to the quality of this most exclusive of beverages!
Dane
[362] :
19. Nov 2007 16:43
is the amount of entrys really that important to make it a good compo? i dont think so... this years breakpoint c64 demo-compo just had 6 entrys, but the overall quality was high (5 of those entrys were very nice)... so i considered it a good compo. so why do you care if its less than 20 entrys if the quality of the - lets say 15 tunes is very high?
yazoo
[363] :
19. Nov 2007 16:45
CreaMD: change "all the time I wasted" with "all the time I invested". I do not consier the SID compo to be a waste of anyone’s time, and I think it has been very good throughout the years :)
The Last Compo (ninja? :P) will definitely rock supreme!
[364] :
19. Nov 2007 16:52
[362] agreed with you yazoo, but perhaps CreaMD’s objectives with the SID Compo were different, and that’s why he cares about the number. If numbers count, I suppose one of his main goals was to raically expand the scene’s activity and perhaps composer-base. I unno, just my speculation ;)

the last north party, the last sidcompo. we slavs seem to like funerals.
r
[366] :
19. Nov 2007 17:18
[361] Any bottles left? ;-)
[362] For me it is not, but for some people (doesn’t matter if musicians or audience) it is. Some decent quantity is important for the image of the compo to be considered valuable.
One musician asked, me will there be enough musics in the compo? Some people need to have enough entries to consider their participation valuable from broader point of view.
I once came second i a chess tournament ... and I was last at the same time. I once won 3rd place in draughts game (and was second from the end).
It’s much better to win compo with 30 participants than to win compo with 10-15 ones. Unless those 10-15 are from musicians from to 20 and the one who won is *you*, of course ;-)) Anyway. Having enough tunes in the compo, that’s not the only reason. It’s just one of my reasons why I decided like this. IMO It’s better to end at the top than quit when you failed to keep up with the expectations.
[367] :
19. Nov 2007 17:30
[364] That too. And I’m really glad that I achieved to get a lot of cool musicians participate in the compo. Sidcompo not only attracts some talented newcomers but also motivated few cool musicians to compose another tune. I don’t want to talk about commebacks because (as we say over here...) "one swallow doesn’t make a summer".
[365] But it’s not the funeral. I think I’ve kicked serious butt with last 7 years and I’m sure #8 is not going to be exception, but I think now it’s time to kick even bigger butt with something different ;-). After all those years sidcompo doesn’t have anything new or innovative to offer to enrich and enliven the scene. Except of the great musics of course ;-)
[368] :
19. Nov 2007 17:37
CreaMD, don’t let the couple of negative comments discourage you, I’m sure the vast majority of feedback is/was positive. But I can understand you perfectly, the feedback of the whiners with their always exotic requests who you can’t please anyway somehow lasts and causes a bitter aftertaste. Just a matter of time, you’re getting used to it! ;-)
[369] :
19. Nov 2007 18:05
It’s your decision, CreamD. If that means there will be a vacuum for online compos I am sure somebody else will attempt to fill it. It’s been grand and I promise to take part in the ’last’ one (especially if you include a bottle of that fine wine).
Dane
[370] :
19. Nov 2007 18:13
[368] I always thought I was getting used to it, but it seems that it at the cost of turning to oppresive mizantrophe ;-) I’m not discouraged, I have decided to about what to do next sometimes in the middle of this compo.

Although, our performer *would* have liked the same 200000 Euros government support which one Kate Ryan received last year for ESC 2006 with "Je t’adore" - and she didn’t even make it into the finals, dammit. ;)
Well, if SC7 is anything like ESC06, the Fins will win :).

"Sorry for the delay" by who?
Very interesting und surprising results on the whole. A great compo that was!
[408] :
21. Nov 2007 22:47
[407] By Peter Bergstrand. Fixed. Randal’s high place is kinda surprising considering the fact that his tune came into the compo so soon. The rest of the results seems quite OK to me. Except maybe of a little bit low place for The sweet odour of Jesus.. but that might depend on tastes. When I first heard Darkening I was quite sure that it will aspire on 1st places ;-) Same goes for Danger Zone and His Pearl. Autumn’s Symphony is also a kind of surprise. I didn’t expect people will recognise it betweens som many other great compositions. Unforgivable or November Echoes were also very good.
[409] :
21. Nov 2007 22:52
intensity’s work is definitely underrated. i’m quite surprised in general, my list looks kinda different :D

[410] :
