Goattracker sound woes

Hey guys.

Every time I make a tune in Goattracker when I export it as .sid and play it, it sounds vastly different.

I've been bothering a couple of friends with it but nobody could help me out, so here I am.

I made a little example to illustrate the problem. This particular sng is supposed to be played at x2.

Here is an example what I hear in GT and then in sidplay2

Here is the goattracker2.71 song file

And here is my config:
Quote:

;GT2 config file. Rows starting with ; are comments. Hexadecimal parameters are
;to be preceded with $ and decimal parameters with nothing.

;Window type (0 = window, 1 = fullscreen)
0
;Base pitch of A-4 in Hz (0 = use default frequencytable)
0.000000

I've been trying with different buffer and resid settings, but to no avail.

Since all the players (including Vice) seem to sound alike, I assume I'm doing something wrong with Goattracker. Still waiting for my 1541u so can't test on real hardware sadly.

Halp pls!

what are you trying to say? all i am saying is that it doesnt provide correct timing. and no other device currently on the market does, afaik.

and yes, unless it does provide 100% accuracy, in all situations, those devices are a complete waste of time and precious SIDs - and chances are emulation will do a better job.

I am trying to say that for many users, the timing approximation is good enough.

Whether or not it is a waste of time, is a matter of opinion and you are certainly entitled to yours.
