On the subject of brainblasting c64 stuff there's still that digitracker from "Sid Vicious" to come out. (Pretty sure they were looking for beta testers a while back)

I followed to the point where there wasn't any tracker, I talked with THCM and got the data to work on the tracks, but I never sent him back anything for him to convert to C64 (My tune, still called "Untitled", is part of this experiment).

This is indeed impressive but lacks any practical use imho.

Well, it's having some free rastertime left to display the screen, so who knows, maybe it does have SOME practical use. Also, I believe Sander's tease is well founded

it seems almost too good to be true, but def have my fingers crossed on this project

I think it's finished. Don't hold your breath for anything which actually resembles Cubase in any way/shape/form.

And for the record, Suzanna Vega was probably chosen because this particular track served as some kind of benchmark during the development of the MP3 format (the track apparently is a bitch to compress with acceptable quality).

Ah yes, I remember reading now that the Fraunhofer dev who gave us MP3 was rather fond of using that particular 'pella for his experiments.

I'll look further. Thanks for the reminder!

The whitepaper - where Mahoney goes into more depth about how he realized the effects - is also worth reading (or skipping through ). http://www.livet.se/mahoney/c64-files/C … vesson.pdf

I am tempted to dig my XE cable out and try this on my real C-64, as I'm having great difficulty believing this is possible!

It's a shame, I always hated Suzanne Vega.
