That's quite a neat experiment. Any plans for publishing the source code, perhaps?

a) 7 out of 10 tunes I want to cover are demoscene music, which in general is on public domain licence. I don't think I need any additional licences for these.

a) because demoscene is PD,

Quite the opposite, nearly all demoscene output is All Rights Reserved, and in fact many demosceners won't be pleased about having their works exploited like this. You should absolutely talk to the original authors before doing this. I'm sure folks will be open to discussion, though.

Honestly I've heard a lot of people are turned away from cm.o by sort of an "old-head gatekeeper" vibe from a lot of members, so I stopped posting to try to help with that.

edit: Also just deleted a four year old post with a homophobic slur and a mod quoting it and saying "careful" instead of deleting it, so I totally get why people don't feel super welcome here

Well, that "old-head" thing has been thrown around since the early days of cmo. I never really got it, thb. Maybe I'm part of the problem? I don't think so. I might be an old-head now, but I certainly wasn't when I joined the forum.

Ironically one thing that I believe enforced that notion was when cmo started to take a tough stance on homophobia and such (which I was super happy about back then and still am). Remember, that was way before CoCs and such became a thing. Using "gay" in a derogatory sense was commonplace back then, especially among younger folks.

Anyway, the ship has definitely sailed, I'm afraid. Forums are simply not a thing that folks in their late teens/early 20s use nowadays. It's just seen as an akward and obsolete form of communication. Basically forums are the new mailing lists yikes Sad, yes, but that's how it goes.

Other than that, well, maybe not using Flash players in 2020 might help.

Holy crap. This is so incredibly strong. Perhaps the best Pulselooper album to date.

Two big fat thumbs up for this. Will have a lot of fun with this once I'm reunited with my C= gear.

I believe even just deleting the email address (and whatever other identifying info is stored on cm's side) should be enough to satisfy the GDPR requirements. Posts and even user name are public information so they aren't covered by GDPR (obligatory disclaimer: I am not a lawyer). Other than that I fully agree. Chances of this ever being enforced are very low but better be safe than sorry.

Ha, still got this on my hard drive from back in the day. ... meh, I'm a dinosaur.

Perhaps Buzztrax is what you're looking for.

Seems reasonable to me. A PWM file will be at most 1/8th the size of a corresponding 8-bit WAV file, and usually much less.

Oh hell no. Keep 'em coming, these are great. And tell that one guy to shove a surgical-clean shaved hedgehog up his a**
jk, your sound design is pretty solid but I'm sure you'll improve with time. And hedgehogs are rad so don't shave em.

There are people using Flash in 2019? Do yourselves and everyone else a favor and uninstall that shit right now. Flash is a security nightmare, and by using it you're not just endangering yourself, but also everyone around you.

Excellent release. Super chill, yet at the same time intricate and quirky. Love it.

Ha, that's great news. Added a note regarding this to the HT2 manual. Thanks Jeff! smile

Agreed, ORCA is a very cool project.
