We welcome you to the first edition of this new compo! :)
RULES:
- Make sure it sounds melodic so with nice melodies.
- You are allowed to submit as many 2SIDs you want.
- Next to original work all kinds of covers and conversions are allowed.
- You can use either SID 6581 or 8580, single speed, no samples. Please mention which SID models you used.
- 2SID should not been published before.
- You can use a supporting image if it enhances the release. If you have enough time ask a skilled graphician to make a piccy for you. If you don't AI / converted gfx could work.
- Deliver a SID file and an executable PRG with the address of 2nd SID provided.
- You can make the 2SIDs as long as you want.
- Both PAL and NTSC accepted.
- Please mention if mono or stereo is preferred.
Other necessary rules may be added later on.
DEADLINE:

WINNER:
Fame and glory to the tune with highest CSDb votes when the compo ends – 30 November 2024, 23.59 CET.
Voting platform is CSDb but results will be counted using real average.
There's going to be one week of voting phase after compo time so that's 1 December 2024 - 8 December 2024, 23.59 CET.
Have fun SIDicians! :)

Could originals and covers be judged in separate categories perhaps? |

Flex and I think it's a good idea. Let's do it! |

What exactly is meant by "melodic"?
The only two subgenres coming to my mind, that actually contain the term would be "Melodic Death Metal" and "Melodic Hardcore" – I'm not aware of any "Melodic Chiptune" or "Melodic SID Tune" subgenres, are there?!? And what would be examples for those? *shrug* |

Spider-j: With nice melodies. So something like these would be great!:
/MUSICIANS/B/Blues_Muz/Gallefoss_Glenn/Slow_and_Cheesy_2SID.sid
/MUSICIANS/S/Shogoon/Raindropsies_2SID.sid
/MUSICIANS/S/Shogoon/Robin_2SID.sid |

A question for first timers here...How do these compo submissions work? Does a user upload a tune to CSDB and tag it in some special manner, link to it off the event page, etc.? Thanks. |

Isn't that 100% subjective perception? :) |

@chatGPZ: I guess it is. Maybe you can use the above mentioned 2SIDs as reference. Anyway just make 2SIDs in a way you think they are melodic and see what other people think about them. |

@bansai:
I'm not 100% sure how profound an answer you're looking for but it goes like this:
> Go to Userpage
-> Add Release
-> "Name of your tune [2sid]"
-> Edit Release Information
-> Fill in the release type "C64 Music"
-> Released at: "Yogi's & Flex' Melodic 2SID Compo 2024"
-> (choose) Compo:
*** C64 2SID for Original tunes
*** C64 Music for Cover tunes
-> Fill in release date
-> Upload the Screenshot and fill in the credits
-> Upload Files (both .sid and .prg)
Then you can mention the rest of the details in "Production Notes". Like Mono/Stereo + 6581/8580 + Address of 2nd SID + in case of cover tune mention the original... etc.. |

@Flex, thanks for the detailed response! That was what I wanted. |

So I hope that what I came up with is "melodic" enough for the compo.
I must admit, I really don't know what to do with 6 SID voices, so it's mostly "filler" stuff :-) |

Well, just submitted mine. My first ever c64 compo! This one is a reworking of a tune I originally wrote on Sunvox. Tried to give some spatial/stereo effect to the synths. Appreciate any feedback. |

Come on SIDicians make some great melodic 2SIDs! :) |
