Event id #2288 : Ambient SID music competition
Your mission Jim, if you choose to accept it:
Create an ambient soundscape or composition for the SID.
The minimum length of the work is 12 minutes.
The tune must be delivered in an executable format and run on c-64. Single SID preferred, use multi-sid if you must, but we need to be able to run it on one of our devices.
For inspiration, listen to ambiences or ingame soundtracks of favourite games, such as black lamp, delta ingame, miami vice, tai pan and so forth. Be creative, forget the usual forms.
Use music, use sounds, use sound effects, generate music algorithmically if you can.
On the weekend of 9-11 of January 2015 we'll have a weekend of SID music with friends and we're planning on broadcasting the soundtrack of the event over the internet and we'll broadcast all the competition entries in their entirety.
Submit your entry to CSDB, link to the event, and vote by the rules of csdb. Status of the voting in the evening of 9th of January 2015 will determine the winner.
Winner shall have fame and special place in our hearts. |

++New cables for "better" sound.

btw. just for info regarding Singularity, I composed it using my Logitech G35 headset which adds hall/surround to the output, so this tune is even better with that effect added when listening in a normal stereo headset...
Cheers people!

Hello,
Instead of tested configuration that worked perfectly last week we have a hack-cast tonight. :)
Ironically, my mixer broke. So now, we only have a simple DJ mixer that does not have stereo panning. That means that dual sid will be full left and full right stereo in broadcast.
For the interested the tech is following:
2 sid 6581+8580 c-64 in mirrored or dual configuration.
1 sid 8580 c-64 cable split to stereo.
2 sid 8580+8580 in dual configuration.
DJ mixer levels are set quite modestly. All compo entries are single 8580 or stereo 8580.
Output stream will have slight compression. (treshold -20db ratio 3.5 output 12db)
We'll circulate stream url once ready. Apparently the proxy server is also recovering from emergency maintenance as well. We have plan C for that as well :)
Plan C always works :) |

Excellent! I love the setup. Now I got some inspiration for a future update in my setup (2SID 8580 + 6581 mirrored or dual config) ;) |
