Surely the problems about tune having too many likes would be negated by the number of likes being invisible?

Also for what its worth, I think the assumption that there is going to be drama about any kind of popularity based system is a shade negative. We have all gotten along just fine for the last week, I am having a rare moment of positive vibes. I think it will continue.

There seem to be a couple of mutually things people fear.

1 - A website with a music based popularity contest.

2 - A website with unfiltered content where it is hard to find media you like.

Some kind of preference based system be it likes/thumbs/ratings would give two streams of data, one filtered and the other not, would it be possible to provide both? Perhaps set a preference somewhere on the site where people could choose filtered, unfiltered or both?

i like that idea, pity the site SUCKS tongue

I totally appreciate this was made in jest but can we declare a moratorium on pithy comments about other communities? I really don't want a slagging match to develop.

Peace and love brothers and sisters!

I like the filter a lot, I like hidden "likes" I really think it has potential with chipmusic.org. Another random idea, how about an archive of tracks which end up being recommend by the site. Something like recommended tunes of the month?

Will there be a quality control à la micromusic, or an "upload as much as you can" approach à la 8bc?

Imagine when the number of members is five figures and they all upload their track both here and @ 8bc...

I like the freedom of 8bc, and the quality of micromusic. so I say, let everyone upload... and from there do something fancy to find the gold.

Celsius had a really good idea about this, I may have gotten this slightly wrong so if im putting words in his mouth I apologize. Have a a two tier uploads section, One can be a totally open upload area the other could be a featured section.

This is me thinking a little more on the topic, for example, have a team of people with fairly broad tastes and ear for quality who can tag tracks to appear in the featured section. Not based on personal taste but more on factors like

- Is the track finished?
- Is it likely to be of interest to members of CM.org?
- Is it fairly listenable?

What do you think?

Another method would be for tracks to get automatically "featured" after getting x number of likes? I perhaps prefer the first system.

I'm not campaigning for an off topic forum just wondering what the reasoning behind not having one was.

Can someone explain to me the categorical difference between General Discussion and Off Topic?

My logic goes something like this and I admit its largely a semantic difference but forums are generally centered around a theme, in this case obviously chip music. "General Discussion" implies general discussion about said theme and off topic implies discussion about anything other than that theme. If moderation is geared more toward common sense and interesting discussion > being incredibly strict about being on topic, thats just peachy keen for me.

Noise album? count me in.

Schwing!

Pretty niche tutorial I guess but for those interested few. This is a very very basic 4 op snare sound. Not really a beginners tutorial. Adlib tracker 2 is a bit counter intuitive for 4 op stuff. Also, if you acctually do the tutorial on a real opl3 laptop and dont have me rambling over the top of it the snare sounds better than it does in the vid.

And here are the settings. This should make sense to Adlib users

op 1 carrier

a F / d 5 / S 1 / R B
output - 3F / Wave sine
FB - 7 / connection FM
mult 1

op 2 moulator

a F / d 9 / S 6 / R 7
output - 3c / Wave SQ

op 3 carrier

a F / d 1 / S f / R f
output - 3F / Wave sine

op 4 mod

a F / d 5 / S 2 / R 8
output - 3F / Wave sine

I assume there has been internal discussion about this already but I was curious why no off topic forum. About 1/3 of the posts in the general discussion area aren't really chip related.

I like these a great deal, is the second one in the first post form rescue the beagles?

Seeing as there are already dedicated hardware forums. For exAmple do I post a question related to technical problems with my c64 in the commodore forum in Akitas excellent help thread or the problems and troubleshooting forum?
