Yes, on January 28th, the Remix64.com Remixer of the Year Awards 2011 will be aired. The show will be hosted by SceneSat Radio and simulcast on SLAY Radio and Radio 6581 and to most certainty also on BitJam and Nectarine Demoscene Radio.
It will feature a bunch of well-known remixers and scene profiles to give you an evening of fun and great music and there will also be a live videofeed to give you a peek into what's going on behind the microphones.
Oh, and for your convenience, we've extended the voting deadline with yet another week, making the deadline to the 15th of January.
Ho-ho-ho! Christmas comes a few days early this year. After passing my project manager exam on December 13th, I cleared the mountain of books and papers off my desk and started preparing this episode. In honour of this being the 50th show(!) here’s almost an hours worth of sonic delight – five remixes and five chiptunes, carefully selected for your enjoyment. And while the show doesn’t have a Christmas theme as such, the closing tune should be able to melt even the coldest of hearts and let the Commodore love flow freely. As usual mixed in with a brief recap of what’s been happening in the world of C64-related music. Enjoy!
Did you ever think you'd see a proper double Vinyl release of some of the best SIDs? Lovingly recorded by experts without emulation, mastered to perfection and with a cool retro cover? Well, today's your lucky day!
Elephant Records have produced an officially lovely compilation featuring such beautiful things as FULL-LENGTH PARALLAX, and FULL-LENGTH TRAP! You never thought you'd see the day, huh? All SIDs were recorded by the legendary Jason Kenz Mackenzie for full loveliness.
For those without vinyl players, there will also be a digital release on iTunes.
C64Audio.com will have a limited number of these,but please don't hesitate to buy your copy from the official source rather than waiting for us. You know what we're like... :-P
It's the joy of doing it and building a fine music machine. A good working retirement for consoles which, by rights, should have ended up in a landfill years ago. That's where we all thought they'd be by now.
(And to answer the popular question, yes it is fine to run headphone out to amp line in. Same with Ipods, Game Boys, personal CDs and other low impedance outputs.)Statistics: Posted by Commie_User — 27/01/2012 - 17:44
thanks fella, still got a fair bit of work to do on it. Right now its evolving around the beginning again with different strings and a slightly modified arrangement, got a 3/4 part in there now that leads to a real chrechendo (sod spelling).. going back over it and over it again layering and layering more ontop of it but all the while making sure it remains "sparse", so far the filters used are only used once per 64 bars so it constantly changes either subtly or drastically, doing the same with the drum patterns too.
The main thing, is i am REALLY enjoying music right now.Statistics: Posted by Infamous — 27/01/2012 - 13:13

Greetings programmes! After another massive delay caused by too much going on at work, causing me to relax (among other things) in front of the Xbox rather than sit down in front of the microphone every month or two, here’s the first episode of 2011(!). Hopefully making up for the radio silence with nine carefully selected tunes – including not one, but two classic remixes. As usual mixed in with a brief recap of what’s been happening in the world of C64-related music.

In return for your patience with my completely erratic publishing schedule here is a little something for your Christmas stocking. Sadly, the (huge) delay is partly caused by the podcast going back to its single-host roots, as Makke has had to cancel his co-host gig. That being said, here’s eight carefully selected tunes that should put a smile on your face – including one that’s become a regular fixture at this time of year. And a brief recap of what’s been happening in the world of C64-related music. Enjoy!

As some of you might have seen on our twitter feed, Operation Fatherhood has forced Makke to shelve his co-hosting of the #C64 Take-away. I only learned this a week ago myself (not the fatherhood bit – that’s been out in the open for a while) – and the news was a bit of a shock, truth be told. Rest assured that there aren’t any complications or anything of the sort – it’s just eating up his spare time, which babies have a tendency to do.
While I have managed to create the bulk of the show on my own in the past, I believe that Makke’s contribution has become an integral part of the podcast format since he joined up back in early 2009. Which makes it harder to go back to the old single-host formula. Sure, I might be able to get another co-host (although right now I have no idea who that would be) and set up a double ended recording to compensate for us being in different locations. But there’s something about being in the same room as your co-host that comes across in the final product.
Long story short, this leaves the podcast in the state that the old K Foundation poster referred to as a “major rethink in progress“.
In the meantime, please let me know what you think – either in the comments, via twitter, or by e-mail to C64Takeaway ->at<- gmail ->dot<- com. Thank you.
Just in time for Christmas, Makke and Jan skip an obvious opportunity to pour themselves a generous helping of glühwein. Instead they get all serious (well, not really), and cook up a delicious Commodore 64 styled music burger for you: Two Christmas tunes make up the bun, a solitary SID chiptune provides the dressing, and between it a solid slab of meat mixed from shredded guitars, beatup drums, and pounded pianos. Also, to spice things up there’s C64-related “news”, feedback, and the usual banter on the side. And the “Classic Remix” segment takes us all the way back to 2001.

Just in time for the Roty 2011 show here is the best of 2000-2011 torrent. Let's see if high votes also mean a place in the Roty!
Jarno Beumer did it again and collected the top 10-songs published on <a href="http://remix.kwed.org/">RKO</a> of every year and shared this compilation as a torrent so the best C64-remixes are just a few mouseclicks away for anyone.
As 2011 ended, I send a polite request wich went something like this: Hey Jarno, you lazy git it's time to wake up and update that there best of torrrent, he promptly updated his torrent 2000-2009 and added the top 10 songs of 2010-2011 as well. Not to mention he went above and beyond duty and rechecked the previous years also. You want the very best of remixed C64-songs as vote for on <a href="http://remix.kwed.org/">RKO</a> ? Go grab the Best of Commodore 64 (C64 SID) remixes 2000 - 2011.torrent <a href="http://tracker.slayradio.org/">here</a>

Now something different LPChip requested a full rko torrent. Which is a bit to keep updated so I'm thinking of making a RKO First Decade and Second Decade torrent. First Decade is just the complete 2000 (since it has everything before that) Second decade will be 2001-2010. Thoughts, want it? leave a comment.

*edit
Ps. I place all my torrents in a sub dir called: "RKO C64" and then named after the torrent etc. This keeps it easy to make yearly torrents from quaterly etc. And also would make it easy to make a Second Decade torrent since that would be "RKO C64RKO-20XX Complete dirs"
Meanwhile I cleaned up the tracker a bit with input form LPCHip. Hide the quarterly torrents. They will be serviced untill absolete.
*edit 2
Thee-hi seems 2001-2010 is just to big to handle for Slacker. So no decade torrents in a while.
Howdy folks! As you may know, the voting is nearing its end for the yearly ROTY at <a href="http://www.remix64.com/" target="_top">Remix64.com</a>.
Please hurry in with your votes before it's too late!

After a few years pause, Bleepstreet is back with a new relocated team and new releases. The label was originally founded in 1998 by Johan Kotlinski, most known for making the LSDj software for Gameboy.Apparently, a new batch of Bleepstreet releases are imminent, so if you are into "nu-chip" related music this is definitely the label to watch out for the next decade.Bleepstreet released among
In this video, Jeri Ellsworth explains the phase accumulators in the c64 SID sound chip. This technique was used in many early synthesizers and sound chips. Jeri Ellsworth is most known for creating the C64 DTV, the all in one joystick emulator in 2004. She is also responsible for designing the FPGA chip of the C-One, so I guess no more introduction is needed, enjoy this master lesson.Use an FPGA
Via littlescale comes a basic but handy C64 sample pack. The pack contains samples of every C and G note from C-2 to G 6 for the main basic waveforms of a Commodore 64 (8580 SID chip). The waveforms are triangle, sawtooth, pulse and noise. The duty cycle for the pulse wave was set to approximately 50%. The samples were recorded from C64 hardware directly using a custom designed interface.//
The Norwegian composer Geir Tjelta has introduced a new trick for the SID-chip: realtime delay. The output of the third channel of the SID can be recorded, and by delaying the playback of the sample on the “virtual” fourth channel, you get a subtle echo. This routine doesn’t use much CPU-time either. A nice and elegant trick. Get the exe and mp3 here. It needs to run on the old 6581 chip, since
A team of supertalented coders have managed to break the limits of C64 sound once again.The Human Coding Machine from Germany and SounDemoN from Finland, have managed to create a music routine that allows you to have:- 4 channels of 8-bit samplerate, digi playback- 2 channels of SID synth sound- You can filter both SID channels AND SAMPLES!- And you have enough rastertime to not being forced to
Top notch vocals as usual by Visa Röster, and Larsec's style is distinctive in the arrangement. Technically, this piece is flawless.
On the other hand, I would really really appreciate if there were some lyrics for the melodies, and I would not mind if it was in english, or in swedish or any other language I don't understand; the point is, lyrics would add a lot of personality and texture to the singing.
Without doubt Visa Röster have the finest vocalists in the whole scene, it's a shame all we get to hear from them is "Ooooohs" and "Aaaahs", if you know what I mean.
Excellent. Love this. I wish some of the reviewers woould stop moaning. This is fresh. Much better than all that bland techno dance crap floating about in remix land. Well done.
One of the most innovative Commodore remix CDs ever created. Beautiful and inspiring, it delivers a stream of uninterrupted consciousness ideal for programming, chilling, or even soothing a child!
Most tracks on this CD are based on Commodore 64 tunes, though the names of the tracks have been changed so as to enhance its universal appeal, and to avoid puncturing the delicate reality it spins.
Highlights include the liquid crystalline cavern sound of Chimera (Here called "Liquid Crystal"), melancholy transforming to joy in "Trap" (here called "Dusk before Dawn"), and the ultimate joy of two Tim Follin LED Storm reworks.
Priced to fulfil its spiritual mission!
