I think if you look back into the scene history, there are maybe 1 or 2 demos that stand out each year. The older demos such as those by the Judges The Judges really blew me away, when you consider the effects done in that time of the scene. (It's also interesting to note that all the members were all coders.) |

I dare you to name the 2 stand-out demos of 1988. There were many more than that that year. |

If your looking for a demo where the effect's and music are well timed take a look at Opium 100% by Samar.
The rythm in this demo is awesome :)

i was never amazed by the usage of digisounds on the sid. not only does it sound crappy, it also takes away the beauty of the actual sid sounds that run beside the digis. (well, arkanoid is an exception - but there weren't real long digisounds used anyway, so one doesn't notice beforehand) |

I've never really heard digi + sid the way it's supposed to sound, coz it allmost allways use the $D418 method, which doesn't work good on new SID-chips. But digi alone can sound very cool, me thinx. The intro (the part before the sid-sounds starts trashing it) to turbo-outrun, and "digital acid" (check csdb) f.e. Ofcause it's lo-fi but sometimes that is cooler than hi-freq (if used on the right sounds) |

Further to what Cyberbrain said, anything by Cycleburner with "Look Sharp" being a personal favourite. =-) |

I find digis obnoxious and difficult to master. When used properly, however, they can take SID-songs to new heights. Censor Design almost managed this - yet no one has come close to acheiving the same quality/musicality after, in my opinion. Why is this? |

i dont quite like most censor digi stuff to be honest.... although the general sample-quality is quite nice, the high pitched carrier-tone that comes with the pulse-method sux hard IMHO...cant stand it :o)
i like the tunes taxim made for that matter...nice digi drums with not too much background noise.
and apropos outstanding demos....and digi sounds... "microsleep" by xakk... fullscreen (escos) scroller plus digis .... "hallooooo you gonna do this" :o) |

In my opinion there are two main disadvantages of PCM 8/12 bit samples on the C64.
Firstly twice as much memory is required to hold the sample (bearing in mind that you can pack two 4 bit sampledate in one byte using the traditional method)
Secondly the carrier tone in the background degrades the sound quality even further.
If you MUST use samples, use a high quality Wave Editor (Such as Soundforge on the PC) to resample/interpolate the sample to 8000/4000 khz etc and convert to 4 bit with dithering.
Even better, do not use samples at all, the C64's sound chip is amazing..
