Excellent post!

Have you ever tried FreeDOS over ms-dos?

Yes, I have. It requires more configuration and what not than DOS7.1 ... so I just chose to keep using DOS7.1. Way less hassle.

Just remembered about this zip file I made a little while ago, so I updated the main page:

Here is a tiny album I made containing some useful Adlib Tracker II stuff. It includes 34 instruments I created and 2 songs demonstrating them.

The zip file contains:

-All the instruments in one file ("O2INST.a2m")
-Individual Instrument folder (Adlib Tracker instrument format)
-2 songs demonstrating the instruments provided
in Adlib Tracker song format and mp3 format

I thought the purpose of this post was talking about straight up 100 percent chiptune tracks becoming mainstream.. Such as, a song made from 1 gameboy, or an NSF, or a 4 channel .mod becoming "mainstream." As opposted to using a couple channels from LSDJ and syncing with a band and synths, etc..

and dotMatrix, not all chiptune is 8bit.. but really though, that is a whole other discussion which no one ever wins, or helps inform anyone in any way.. heh

Content: Any time this question comes up, people use EDM as the place we should be aiming. What about rock oriented chipmusic? Did Colonopenbracket forever taint that with the ghost of Malcolm MacLaren? Or are we afraid of forever being told we're Anamanaguchi ripoffs?

Because we are electronic music, and EDM is big so it makes sense!

Any chip guys with full band instrumentation (those lucky jerks who can get others together) should be be playing with rock bands or whatever bands. That's easy. And those guys got it made, being able to play shows with chiptune guys and regular bands. DOUBLE WHAMMY SCENE CRASHER.

I still believe some chip artists could slide their way into those huge electronic music festivals, where the draw is like 5 to 10 thousand people. The creative dancey ones only of course, since electronic fans who never heard "chiptune" before would probably still be able to grasp it when heard on a huge loud system surrounded by tons of wild people.

But even that is not mainstream. Once you get into that scene, there is money to be made to support yourself successfully. And no one had to "sell out" to get there! Go figure!

Basically what I'm saying is that its possible for chiptune to grow as big as it can with huge followings/crowds/shows, and never get "mainstream." as you guys are saying. We just need to piggyback off EDM. ha.

So my Sound Blaster 16 arrived, but it ended up being a CT2740 instead of the CT1740 I ordered. Is anyone aware of any difference in sound quality between these two? Should I get another?

You should be ok... the 27xx can still grouped up with the 17xx series. May just have different configurations in terms of scsi, cd-rom etc.... the sound qualities should be the same.

hey and thanks Pulselooper !  smile
