2SID competitions.
Hello everyone.
I've only noticed for while that some various people are now starting to work on these 2SID (6 voice and 2 filter) songs. Although not as popular as standard SIDs, I believe these are quite fun to do, as you have more flexibility to include more than one filter and play more than one instrument which needs two voices, such as the $57 vocal trick for example.
Of course not everyone has a real c64 with an extended SID, but in today's world most people now use an emulator for quick viewing on music entries, which of course the emulators now have the option to include double SID emulation.
Up to now, it seems that Silesia Party in Poland will be holding the first 2SID competition ever in the scene. Would it be a good idea to start these 2SID competitions in general? Similar to those current SID compos that CreaMD usually holds, a 2SID section could be held as well.
Afaik, GoatTracker 2.61 Stereo is the only available music editor to compose these 2SID tunes, but soon there may be some similar editors on the c64.
What's your opinions on this? |

Perplex, for playing 2SIDs you can also use ACID 64 Player Pro V3.2. If you're using it in combination with JSidDevice (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsidplay2/files/jsiddevice/) then you can set the panning for stereo as well.
Check out the players section (http://hvsc.de/players.htm#players) at the HVSC site for other players that support 2SID files. |

In the next release also digiboost is supported by the jsiddevice. I've never tried before (old pc with win98 couldn't run any java crap) but now I can say Acid64 is really neat and I'm not saying it just because it's by Fred ;)
It's crammed with handy features, give it a go. |

Fred, ACID64 with JSIDDevice is looking (and sounding) good! Works fine in Wine, so I can use it at work and while coding as well. Thanks! |

tried acid64+jsidplay yesterday. works pretty well on the first look. but the volume of the played sid is really really low.. any way to change that? volume sliders are of course on maximum already.. |

vice versa here. don't know if it's related to some java issue. can't raise the volume from the java channel in the mixer either as it's already on 100%. makes me remeber why i scorn java that much.. ^^ |
