DMC 4 or DMC 5?

Here's a discussion topic. Which DMC version tunes do you prefer, DMC V4.0 or DMC V5.0 if so then why.

I like DMC V5.0 myself, you can make even better enhanced effects, but I seem to be more comfortable using DMC V4.0, because of my original style of music, which I compose. DMC V4.0 is more simpler compared to DMC V5.0, and it is more user-friendly to play around with.

DMC V5.0 however is better. Although it looks like dogshit, the music editor allows you to do professional music. I noticed that talented musicians had their own styles using that particular music editor.

I use DMC5.0 with few enhancements like audible editing, sector tracker etc. That possibility to start tune from mark is a nice idea. I was talking about that with Orcan, maybe I'll add it to my version.

It took me a while to get used to DMC v5, in fact at times I find it uncomfortable after using Music Assembler for so long, but it does produce good results.

I agree that the work-file size is too large, by the time you have half a dozen tunes and the editor on a disk it is full!

somewhen back in 1996 ive added an rle (de)packer (for others: equal char (de)PACKER ;)) to DMC 5.0
as i got pissed off by those huge workfiles.
anyway i only did one single tune in DMC 5.0 as i didnt manage the "understanding step" from V4 to V5;
it looked a bit too complicated for me ;)
if anyone likes to take a look at this V5 please email me, but i take no responsibilty if anything might go wrong during packing/depacking

coming to DMC V4:
a very interesting editor, which fits exactly for my purposes; as it was quiet easy to do a double sid version of this editor. there was enough memory left
to imply a music packer&relocator to hold a second (packed) tune in memory and still edit the "first" tune.
to edit the "second" you can easly switch between both tunes.
up to 4x speed is possible, also with both tunes playing. this version seem to base on KBs modified version.

if anybody is interested feel free to email me

Yes, I agree there regarding space restriction. DMC V5.0 has its own drawbacks. I think DMC V5.0 would be cool if it had its own built-in- packer so you did not have to load in a packer. :)

No Cruzer, dude. This subject is regarding the C64 music tracker 'Demo Music Creator'. ;)

HI Orcan here, I have one question to DMC 5.0 editor. I need know some method for better quality of reading sounds if I compose in speed 0. CreamD has some empiric method like poke 4039,44. Yes, it is better little, but I know that it could be more. Can somebody answer? Thanx

I use DMC 4 , I need to be able to use filters on all 3 tracks . I think i noticed that this is not possible in dmc5 ,, if so i would never ever give dmc5 a try. even knowing it has some good options..
I am not realy happy with dmc4 too,
befor i wil try and change editors i try and find out if it´s sort of what i am looking for.,, with funktions like filter cutoff overrule in paterns(wich dmc4 has not:(. ) and hopefuly it should show the paterns like a tracker so you could see what you are making :D .. and it must suport multi speed kind of things too and must "not only" be meant for making music to use in other programs, .. . It needs to have a good interface and .erm .... blablabla...
