A thought ..
Hi all,
i was thinking about a idea i had a the other day while i was on http://remix.kwed.org. You all might know the site, its a c64 remixer platform with nice rating and commenting system. The whole thing is linked with http://www.remix64.com/ and forms a great community platform for the entire c64 remixing scene (strictly mp3 and studio-driven or vst based remixes). Ive submitted a couple of remixes there myself.
The reason im mentioning this is, i am missing something like this for the native c64 composing scene. Im sure there are plenty of people out there who still compose natively on the c64 (or emulator / goattracker).
You might say, we allready have HVSC. Dont get me wrong, HVSC is great and i highly admire and value the work the guys have done there.
The thing is, HVSC is kind of static. More recent composers are usually just an extension to the VARIOUS/... branch of the next HVSC update. If im not in a curious mood, i seldomly go wandering through the various branch unless im looking for something specific.
It would even be a great addition to things like HSVSC and CSDB if connected similar to remix.kwed.org and c64remix.com.
I was actually thinking about trying to set up something myself, with some PHP & MySQL implementation (im a half decent PHP coder). Im not sure though if a project like this isnt a little to ambitious for one person.
I would like to hear a few opinions about something like this from other sid related folks. So if anyone feels like discussing the idea i would be happy to hear from you.
Cheers |

Thats basicly a part of the whole thing :-) i want to adapt the rating / commenting systems as seen on http://remix.kwed.org |

IMHO it would make more sense to do this as a "sub section" of CSDB. If someone wants to really make this then he should start negotiations with Perff, and do the suitable interface(s) for the existing CSDB database.
- new sids could be right away uploaded to csdb, and noone stops you from adding the existing entries from HVSC. So we have the best from both sides: you can enter all the informations on csdb and be up to date, whilst using the existing HVSC collection.
- a few new querys could be added to csdb like: latest tunes, latest tune reviews, top of the week/month/all time, old/new sid search, etc., anything one can came up with. |

Sounds good! We're thinking about doing kind of a HVSC/SID portal for ages now, but couldn't find time or motivation so far. I also wanted to incorporate HVSC paths into CSDb rather early at the launch of CSDb, but it didn't really meet prominent support. Whatever you may decide and whoever may want to take on the project, I'd be into investing some spare time into this. So feel free to get back to me when things start moving. |

I see this rather as a separate entity than being a subsection of CSDb / HVSC.
It would still be heavily interlinked with HVSC, CSDb and composers.c64.org but operating in its own domain, the focus entirely on SID Composers and their work.
If it would be incorporated into CSDb im afraid it would go under inbetween the 'normal' releases and everything else.
The sole target is the current and active SID composing scene. Older compositions could be incorporated into the charts and such, but the main focus should be a platform for the present day composers and their compositions. |

Stainless Steel, well I've tried to come up with an idea thats DOABLE, and not with some world domination plan :). Rather start out the project on a simple fast doable fashion, and later add extra stuff, than start with a mega plan with confusing details. I offered to use csdb with the idea to spare the need of an own server, and to spare to design an own database in mind. Ofcourse you can have it as an own page and not some sub csdb site, but under the hood still heavily rely on csdb. Also I dont think there's enough support for a totally new site, and ppl will add sid files and cross references like crazy themselfes. CSDB is a rock solid base to build your idea on, and you can spare a lot of work, and borrow the support from csdb users. Anyway I'm not offering help here, just trying to give advises. I think probably this is a project you will do alone, or noone will do it. Looking at the posts everyone likes the idea, but noone offered help.. :) |

I am not unaware of the advantages of incorporating the idea into CSDb.
My original intention was something like the beforementioned http://remix.kwed.org or http://amigaremix.com , just for SID composers.
Nothing more, nothing less. (oh, also world domination ofcourse, too!) :-)
I appreciate the feedback so far, really.

Actually, there aren't many SID composers that do remixes. |
