Why did you stop demoscene? And don't you want to come back for some beers on Evoke or Revision?
I think Daniel Wressle aka Brandon Walsh is doing stuff for digisonix now, he's doing pretty good in compo's.
Im not sure exactly why I stoped but I think most of my scenefriends did the same thing at about the same time. We were all about the same age and I guess there was some sort of generation change happening. I seem to remember feeling like I wasn't enjoying it as much any more, thinking that I've had my run at the scene and that it simply was time to move on. Studies, work, relationships, new hobbies and the rest of life in general took over.
I joined Loonie at some small local c64-gathering a while back. Can't remember the name. I might do that again if the opportunity presents it self , but I cant see my self traveling outside Stockholm for a demoparty any time soon. I don't have the time.
I don't think I know of Daniel Wressle but I'll google him!
Can you point out other recent chip-trackermusicians that do melodic tunes like Radix and Loonie used to do them? I know about Malmen but I'm sure there are loads of others I have missed!
Where do people release their stuff these days?
I guess we (cerror and I) make what you like. You can find stuff on our soundcloud (which I've commented with on your tracks) or http://xyce.bandcamp.com. Malmen, Radix and Loonie are pretty much our biggest inspiration so I guess we sound a like.
Daniel Wressle / Brandon Walsh is doing the same really. So you should really find him. I think he has a couple of rendered songs on Youtube. Or you should check out scene.org, he did some releases in the tracked music compo on Evoke and a release in oldschool executable on Revision.
Too bad you retired the demoscene but I can comprehend. I've actually been talking a lot to Radix lately and he seems to be picking up some chiptunes lately. Still too busy with his child and other life stuff to join on regular partying but he's been to some Swedish parties last year I think.
I'm one of the younger concerning generation, and seeing a lot of younger people on parties as well, although it's still overrun by the oldtimers.

Long time ago I have rendered many .mod files using ModPlug (1.16, I don't know how about OpenMPT) but people complain about module quality, there was nothing left with classic Amiga sharpness (no resampling/interpolation doesn't really help, it just sounds different). Anyway, maybe such sound is your goal. I find ModPlug sound polishing algorithm weak and muffling. Funny thing because I work with ModPlug and even original FastTracker 2 output seems to be a bit better
.
If you are patient (you are), separate every track and render them using dedicated settings.
Haha, I record .mod files from the Amiga if I want to release them as MP3 or WAV so I don't know the sound Modplug produces when doing that.
XM files sound fine to me.

WINAMP + XM = OH MY GOD.
It is even hard to call it module playback.
Haha yeah, why does that feature even exists. It does nothing but bad to a module.
You can try and use the export to wav in Modplug tracker. It's pretty good.

coming from a new addition to the chipscene, i'll just go ahead and answer with a big fat NO. OLDSKOOL IS BESTSKOOL.
extremely great tracks you've got here, especially for xm mods. the feel you put into your tracks and your overwhelmingly efficient use of instruments is awesome, in every sense of the term. that, and you don't hear too many tracks from mod composers, since it's mostly gameboys, c64s, and fakebit now, so this is a nice change. great work overall, keep it going!
Agreed although you definitely need to look better, because there are still loads of xm and mods made. Saying it's mostly gameboys and fakebit nowadays is nonsense and sad for me to hear.

Re: Why ask for "cc"? (16 replies, posted in General Discussion)
That is why CC only helps when asking experienced composers with musical theory backgrounds. When they speak technical like, try a G there, and it actually sounds better when you do, it helps, instead of kids screaming, that bassline sucks, do something about it.
CC imo only works when speaking technically because opinions like that bassline isn't really nice is way to subjective.
