  • DigiBooster Professional 3 status report 05/2009

    album_picphpSome of you (few :P) may remember my post about this new up and coming tracker for the Amiga back in January. If not, check it out.

    After being rejected for a beta tester position (damned jerks!), I rely on public announcements to keep you updated, so I’m sorry if you have read this somewhere already. To be honest, the company developing it, APC&TCP, have proved to be major asshats to the Amiga community throughout these years so I wouldn’t be surprised they do something not nice with this software. It’ll be my utmost pleasaure to pirate them :P

    Anyway, I am also NOT fond of the generic Intuition/OS3 look of the software, something which was a pet peeve of mine in MusicLine, but that aside, the tracker seems to be packed with features as I mentioned in my previous article.

    Clicking on ‘More’ you will find the full report…

  • High Voltage SID Collection Update #50!

    hvsc1Great news, SID music fans!
    Our favourite collection, the HVSC, is back with its fiftieth update! Quite a landmark.

    For years this dedicated group of SID music historians have gathered, fixed and adventured to get all the C64 music ever made, for our enjoyment. Some of the highlights of this release?  Around 678 new SIDs, 59 fixed/better rips, 573 PlaySID/Sidplay1 specific SIDs eliminated and more, catering for a grand total of 36,000 SID files (each of which could include more than one song. yay!!).

    The emphasis as I said is in getting ALL of it so the output is usually of mixed qualities, but you can rest assured there’s a lot of cool NEW music to hear, without the pain of crawling through pages of garbage and uncontrolled P commands on LSDJ.

    Are you new to the HVSC? I recommend you give a listen to the folders of the following artists: Fanta, Ed, Linus, Randall, Drax, Jeroen Tel and Thomas Danko, to name but a VERY FEW of what’s available.

    The rest of the official release information follows:

  • Squidman’s ym2151 tracker Herzeleid

    herzeleid3A little while back we mentioned that Squidman had documented the YM2151 soundchip. The tracker “Herzeleid” is in the extremely early development but it is available for the brave to try. It is cross platform, but please note you will need to compile it yourself. B00daW and the Squidman are talking about the tracker in this 8BC thread where you can follow the development and find some useful info if you have problems getting it to run. Keep your eyes on this one, I have a feeling its going to develop into a very interesting piece of software.

  • Breakpoint 2009 wrap-up Part One

    77735Yeah this took me ages… 

    Sorry, I am very busy with my real life and cannot commit to post as much as I used to.

    But I still guess a lot of the releases on Breakpoint have passed by most people’s noses so here’s a sum up of what I thought was most interesting, on the oldschool/wild categories. Even a month after Breakpoint has ended, you could find a few gems here to enjoy . Hey, it beats reading about a retarded pussy who takes pride in the fact his bicolour hair covers all his face and that he just painted his Gameboy in 32 colours.

    So find contained herein a bunch of videos and babble from yours truly!
    Part one covers the DEMOS only. part 2 will cover Music and Graphics
